THE DEBTOR AND THE CONSENTING STAKEHOLDERS SUPPORT CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN. THE DEBTOR URGES ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN TO VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN. THE DEBTOR BELIEVES THAT THE PLAN IS FAIR AND EQUITABLE, MAXIMIZES THE VALUE OF THE DEBTOR’S ESTATES, AND PROVIDES THE BEST RECOVERY FOR ALL CREDITORS.

The Debtor submits this Disclosure Statement in connection with the Solicitation of votes on the Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization for Vroom, Inc. under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated November 12, 2024 (as may be amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Debtor under the Plan is Vroom, Inc. ( the “Debtor” or “Vroom”). Capitalized terms used in this Disclosure Statement, but not otherwise defined herein, have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. To the extent any inconsistencies exist between this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, the Plan governs.

The Debtor is commencing this Solicitation after extensive discussions and negotiations with certain of its key stakeholders. As a result of these negotiations, the Debtor has entered into the Restructuring Support Agreement with (i) certain holders (the “Consenting Noteholders”) of the Debtor’s 0.750% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Unsecured Notes”) issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of June 18, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Unsecured Notes Indenture”), by and between Vroom, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee”) and (ii) certain holders of Equity Securities of Vroom (the “Consenting Equity Interest Holders,” and together with the Consenting Noteholders, the “Consenting Stakeholders”). A copy of the Restructuring Support Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Under the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Consenting Noteholders agreed to deleveraging transactions (the “Restructuring”) that would cancel the existing debt obligations of the Debtor through the Plan. In order to effectuate the Restructuring, the Debtor anticipates filing a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) to initiate a bankruptcy case (the “Chapter 11 Case”) on or about November 13, 2024 (the date of the filing of such voluntary petition, the “Petition Date”).

The Consenting Noteholders include Holders of a significant majority of the Debtor’s outstanding funded debt, namely, creditors beneficially holding approximately 98% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Unsecured Notes, as of the signing of the Restructuring Support Agreement. Such parties represent the requisite voting majorities under the Bankruptcy Code for Class 3 (Unsecured Notes Claims).

1

It is contemplated that through the Restructuring, the Debtor’s total funded debt of approximately $290.5 million in principal amount will be equitized. Upon emergence from chapter 11, the Reorganized Debtor will use commercially reasonable efforts to list the New Common Stock for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, any of the other Nasdaq market tiers, the New York Stock Exchange, or a comparable nationally recognized securities exchange. The Restructuring will include the following transactions:

The Restructuring proposed by the Debtor will provide substantial benefits to the Debtor and all of its stakeholders. The Restructuring contemplates that, upon emergence from chapter 11, the Reorganized Debtor will have no funded debt obligations and a strong balance sheet, with the Company’s only consolidated debt issued by the Debtor’s non-Debtor subsidiaries (the “Non-Debtor Affiliates,” and together with the Debtor, the “Company”). This de-leveraging will enhance the Debtor’s long-term growth prospects and competitive position and allow the Debtor to emerge from the Chapter 11 Case as a reorganized entity better positioned to compete in the competitive automotive finance and artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled, automotive industry-focused analytics and digital services arenas.

2

In addition, the Restructuring will allow the Debtor’s management team to focus on operational performance and value creation. A significantly improved balance sheet will provide the Reorganized Debtor with increased financial flexibility and the ability to pursue value-maximizing opportunities that will strengthen the Reorganized Debtor’s businesses. Moreover, the Restructuring proposed under the Plan provides for a recovery to each class of non-Affiliate Claims in the form of equity, New Warrants, or a combination thereof.

Consummating the Restructuring in a timely manner is of critical importance. An efficient chapter 11 process is necessary in order for the Debtor to maintain its relationships with financing customers. Moreover, the straddle pre-packaged bankruptcy process contemplated under the Plan preserves value for stakeholders while minimizing restructuring costs and potential delays. Management’s focus can then turn from balance sheet management towards operational performance and value creation. Failure to timely consummate the Plan may result in many Holders of Claims receiving little or no value on account of their Claims. The Debtor anticipates commencing the Chapter 11 Case on or about November 13, 2024, and achieving Confirmation of the Plan approximately fifty-six (56) days thereafter. A discussion of key dates and deadlines is set forth below.

HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE RELEASES IN THE PLAN IF THEY DO NOT VALIDLY AND TIMELY OPT OUT OF THE THIRD-PARTY RELEASE AS PROVIDED ON THEIR RESPECTIVE BALLOTS BY THE VOTING DEADLINE.

NON-AFFILIATE HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS IN NON-VOTING CLASSES WILL RECEIVE A RELEASE OPT-OUT FORM AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPT OUT OF THE RELEASE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE X OF THE PLAN. HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS IN NON-VOTING CLASSES WHO DO NOT VALIDLY AND TIMELY OPT OUT OF THE RELEASE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE RELEASES THEREIN. AFFILIATE HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS IN NON-VOTING CLASSES WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE RELEASES.

WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE: Under the Bankruptcy Code, only Holders of Claims or Equity Interests in “impaired” Classes are entitled to vote on the Plan. Under section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims or equity interests is deemed to be “impaired” under the Plan unless (i) the Plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such claim or equity interest entitles the Holder thereof or (ii) notwithstanding any legal right to an accelerated payment of such claim or equity interest, the Plan, among other things, cures all existing defaults (other than defaults resulting from the occurrence of events of bankruptcy) and reinstates the maturity of such claim or equity interest as it existed before the default.

3

There are three classes of Claims and Interests that are entitled to vote and whose acceptances of the Plan are being solicited (either prepetition or postpetition):

The following table summarizes: (i) the treatment of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan; (ii) which Classes are impaired by the Plan; (iii) which Classes are entitled to vote on the Plan; and (iv) the estimated recoveries for Holders of Claims and Equity Interests. The table is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan. For a more detailed summary of the terms and provisions of the Plan, see Section VI—Summary of the Plan, below. A detailed discussion of the analysis underlying the estimated recoveries, including the assumptions underlying such analysis, is set forth in the Valuation Analysis in Section VIII.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING KEY DATES AND DEADLINES FOR THE CHAPTER 11 CASE:

Vroom was founded in 2012 under the name BCM Partners III, Corp. On June 25, 2013, the Company changed its name to AutoAmerica, Inc., and on July 9, 2015, the Company changed its name to Vroom, Inc. The Company’s goal was to simplify and streamline the used car sales and purchasing process by leveraging technology and the internet to create a more efficient and user-friendly car buying experience. Vroom’s comprehensive service included purchase, reconditioning, and listing of used cars on its website, assisting customers with procuring financing through partner banks, and shipping newly purchased vehicles directly to their new owners. Vroom backed its customers’ satisfaction with a seven-day/250-mile return period and a 90-day limited warranty.

During this period of extensive growth, Vroom gained the interest of investors, raising no less than $720 million in private investment through a series of eight funding rounds between 2015 and 2019. These investments funded operational expansions and key investments in technology. In June 2020, Vroom completed its initial public offering of common stock and began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on June 9, 2020 under the ticker symbol “VRM”, highlighting its rapid growth and continued potential to create a more customer-centric automotive industry. The COVID-19 pandemic fueled additional demand for Vroom’s products and services, as many

6

consumers sought contactless purchasing options and home delivery of vehicles. The Company expanded through the acquisition of CarStory (“CarStory”), an AI-powered analytics and digital services platform for automotive retailers in January 2021 and United Auto Credit Corporation (“UACC”) in February 2022.

Unexpected economic conditions and industry-wide challenges, however, emerged in the wake of the pandemic. In particular, Vroom was unable to raise additional capital or procure an extension of its vehicle floorplan payable facility, which was used to finance purchase of used car inventory, beyond its March 2024 maturity date. On January 22, 2024, Vroom announced that it was suspending its e-commerce operations and scaling back its used vehicle dealership business to conserve liquidity and focus on maximizing stakeholder value through UACC and CarStory (the “Value Maximization Plan”). Pursuant to the Value Maximization Plan, the Company halted transactions on vroom.com, sold its existing used vehicle inventory via wholesale channels and directly to dealers, ceased purchasing additional vehicles, implemented a workforce reduction at Vroom Automotive in line with its curtailed operations, and reduced outstanding commitments, including by repaying the outstanding balance on its vehicle floorplan facility.

Vroom’s long-term strategy now focuses on leveraging assets like UACC and CarStory to build a world-class lending program and to assist automotive retailers in optimizing their sales processes while enhancing their customers’ purchasing experiences. The Debtor also retains the technology, intellectual property, and other digital assets that previously powered its retail automotive e-commerce platform. These assets include, among others: (a) a transaction hub for tracking deal status and delivery logistics, along with a patent-pending titling, registration, and document platform, (b) delivery and logistics solution with integrated tools for seamless “driveway experiences,” (c) consumer and B2B inventory acquisition platform, (d) a consumer shopping solution with self-service checkout, (e) predictive pricing and profit and loss models, (f) a proprietary document processing pipeline for automated contracting, (g) payment integrations, and (h) an internal sales-enablement platform that can assist sales and support agents with financing terms and approval probabilities. As the technologically-adept consumer demographic continues to expand, this portfolio keeps the Company poised to return as a market leader in the retail automotive industry and provide a platform for future growth of businesses in the retail space.

Following the wind-down of its e-commerce operations, Vroom’s revenue is derived primarily through its equity interests in its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Non-Debtor Affiliates UACC and CarStory, which operate as independent businesses. While these businesses are not subject to the bankruptcy process, the below descriptions provide context for the overall business of the Company.

UACC is an indirect lender specializing in non-prime automobile retail installment contracts (“RICs”), with approximately $629 million in RICs originated in 2023 and a gross serviced portfolio of over approximately $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2024. Prior to implementation of the Value Maximization Plan, UACC offered financing to Vroom’s customers through its e-commerce platform. UACC’s current business relies on third-party dealers of both new and used

7

vehicles. As of the date hereof, UACC has approximately 6,300 independent dealers in 49 states in its network. UACC provides an external finance and management portal for dealers and integrates with the largest dealer management platform credit applications. UACC’s proprietary pricing engine is powered by big data models that utilize machine learning, and automatic pricing programs are available for both independent and franchise dealerships.

In addition to providing financing to customers who often have limited access to traditional motor vehicle financing, UACC’s platform includes application processing, underwriting, and servicing capabilities. UACC services the RICs it originates or purchases, and has continued to service the contracts it originated for customers of Vroom’s defunct e-commerce business. UACC’s income includes both interest on automotive RICs and fees from servicing these contracts. UACC funds its finance operations by selling eligible RICs (including those originated and those purchased by UACC) via securitization transactions to third-party investors.

CarStory is a leading provider of market data and AI-driven analytics in the automotive retail industry, offering digital retailing services to dealers, automotive financial services companies, and others in the automotive industry. CarStory operates by analyzing more than seven million car sale listings daily and more than 18 million consumer sessions each month to aggregate data and generate predictive insights on how price changes affect the duration a vehicle stays in inventory. By aggregating and optimizing data from thousands of sources, CarStory tracks over 3.5 million unique vehicle identification numbers (“VINs”) daily. CarStory helps dealers optimize their pricing by leveraging data science models for retail pricing that provide predictive pricing for marketing, buying, selling and VIN-level features.

In addition to data analytics and related services, CarStory powers “white labeled storefronts” (i.e., generic online storefronts) for dealerships and automotive finance companies. In developing these storefronts, CarStory utilizes its data and data science to create targeted functions designed to enhance the customer experience and drive sales. These data and data science assets also create significant opportunity for automotive AI product development in the future.

Vroom’s corporate structure chart as of the date hereof is attached as Exhibit C (the “Corporate Structure Chart”). As reflected in the Corporate Structure Chart, the Debtor is the ultimate parent of the Company and the sole issuer under the Unsecured Notes Indenture. The direct and indirect subsidiaries of Vroom are not debtors in the Chapter 11 Case, and their businesses and operations are anticipated to continue in the ordinary course and without interruption during the Chapter 11 Case.

As of the date hereof, and as described more fully in the subparts below, the Debtor is liable for approximately $290.5 million outstanding of long-term principal debt obligations under the Unsecured Notes (as defined below).

As of the date hereof, Vroom’s sole funded indebtedness is approximately $290.5 million in principal amount outstanding of the Unsecured Notes.⁴ The maturity date of the Unsecured Notes is July 1, 2026, and interest on the Unsecured Notes accrues at the rate of 0.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The Non-Debtor Affiliates are neither guarantors nor otherwise obligated with respect to the Unsecured Notes.

Under the Unsecured Notes Indenture, a Fundamental Change (as defined therein) occurs if the common stock of Vroom ceases to be listed on any of The New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market, or the NASDAQ Global Select Market. If a Fundamental Change occurs, the Unsecured Notes Indenture permits each Unsecured Noteholder to require Vroom to repurchase such holder’s Unsecured Notes for a cash purchase price equal to the principal amount of such Unsecured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If a Fundamental Change occurs and the Debtor is unable to repurchase the Unsecured Notes of holders that exercise repurchase rights, an Event of Default (as defined in the Unsecured Notes Indenture) will occur under the Unsecured Notes Indenture. Such an Event of Default would permit the Unsecured Notes Trustee, or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Notes then outstanding, to declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Unsecured Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately.

12

In the ordinary course, the Company incurs trade debt with third-party contractors and vendors (the “Trade Creditors”) in connection with the operation of its businesses. To the extent Vroom is contractually or otherwise obligated to pay the Trade Creditors, such payments typically are made by the Non-Debtor Affiliates in the ordinary course of business. The Debtor believes that it, and the Non-Debtor Affiliates, are substantially current with respect to amounts owed to the Trade Creditors. The Trade Creditors will continue to be timely paid by the Non-Debtor Affiliates in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Case. In addition, the Plan contemplates that all General Unsecured Claims will be paid in full in the ordinary course or will be otherwise unimpaired.

Since Vroom’s initial public offering in 2020, shares of its common stock have traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “VRM.” On April 14, 2023, Vroom received a written notice that it had failed to comply with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) for the prior thirty (30) consecutive business days, as required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Vroom was allotted a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 11, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Though Vroom was able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, on December 21, 2023, Vroom received a second written notice that it had failed to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for the prior thirty (30) consecutive business days.

In an effort to address this second notice of failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and avoid delisting, on February 13, 2024, following a special meeting of stockholders at which its stockholders approved such action, Vroom executed a 1-for-80 reverse stock split, consolidating every eighty (80) shares into one (1) and correspondingly adjusting equity awards, warrants, and shares issuable under equity incentive plans. The goal of the reverse stock split was to boost the share price to gain compliance with the Nasdaq Global Select Market’s minimum bid price requirement and thereby avoid delisting, which, in turn, would provide overall credibility to an investment in Vroom’s stock. On February 29, 2024, Vroom received a written notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications that it had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by maintaining a closing bid price per share of common stock of $1.00 or greater for eleven (11) consecutive business days, rendering the matter closed.

Throughout 2021, Vroom had record revenues and rapidly accelerating growth. The COVID-19 pandemic had accelerated consumers’ shift to e-commerce, including in the retail automotive industry, and this shift was reflected in Vroom’s financial results—Vroom’s year-over-year revenue increased by a multiple of over 2.3 from 2020 to 2021. In addition, Vroom’s initial public offering in 2020 was considered a resounding success. However, while the onset of the pandemic initially created an environment that fostered rapid growth of Vroom’s largely virtual businesses, the economic climate that emerged in the pandemic’s wake resulted in speedbumps across the used

13

car industry. Further, Vroom struggled to scale its e-commerce business to meet surging demand, and investors began to shy away from cash-burning companies such as Vroom and its competitors, causing the stock price to drop. Nevertheless, Vroom is optimistic that, after giving effect to the proposed restructuring transactions and with its renewed focus on UACC and CarStory, its new future is bright.

As the COVID-19 pandemic dissipated, the automotive industry began to encounter headwinds. In February 2021, shortly after the Company had turned to wholesale channels to sell aging inventory that had not sold due to sales constraints in late 2020, used car demand and pricing quickly accelerated and the Company struggled to buy sufficient inventory. Used vehicle prices continued to rise during fall 2021, as car rental companies that historically had supplied auction inventory instead began purchasing vehicles at auction. In March 2022, Vroom made the decision to put the brakes on expansion. Meanwhile, sales were additionally delayed by title and registration issues, with such vehicles depreciating during the time it took to procure titles, and electric vehicle inventory lost additional value in January 2023 as Tesla revved up production and reduced prices.

Automotive financing businesses experienced separate challenges related to pandemic-related policies and government stimulus programs that affected loss and delinquency expectations, making it more difficult for auto lenders, such as UACC, to accurately predict receivables performance. RICs had been based on car values at the peak of the market and, in many cases, were extended to borrowers whose credit scores were artificially inflated following stimulus payments made by the United States government. Moreover, ongoing economic disruptions also had negative impacts across the industry. In addition, higher interest rates caused investors to rotate out of high-growth companies, such as Vroom, and into mature, cash-generating companies, reducing availability of capital needed for operations—for instance, the capital Vroom needed to scale its car sales business appropriately to meet growing customer demand. Driven by this faltering investor sentiment, the price of Vroom’s stock began to drop over the course of 2021.

Vroom’s share price deteriorated further over the course of 2022 and 2023. As previously discussed, Vroom received two separate notices of failure to comply with the Nasdaq Global Select Market’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement, placing Vroom at risk of being delisted—which in turn would trigger a default under the Unsecured Notes Indenture. In addition, the Company was unable to raise capital that, in turn, would have bolstered efforts to procure alternative financing to continue its vehicle floorplan facility, leading it to pursue the Value Maximization Plan. On January 19, 2024, Vroom and Ally Bank and Ally Financial Inc. amended the Company’s existing vehicle floorplan facility, suspending the facility and thereby eliminating financing for future vehicle purchases, while also requiring that the Company maintain 40% of its outstanding borrowings in cash.

14

The market reacted negatively to this announcement, and Vroom’s share price further declined. While Vroom ultimately regained compliance with Nasdaq rules through its reverse split on February 13, 2024 (as described above), Vroom’s market capitalization has dropped to approximately $16.1 million as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding any potential future reverse splits, in addition to the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Vroom is required to comply with additional continued listing requirements in order to remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, some of which it is at risk of failing to comply with. This in turn puts Vroom at risk of being delisted, particularly as it does not have the option of transferring to a different, less burdensome tier of The Nasdaq Stock Exchange, such as the Nasdaq Capital Market, because such a transfer would constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined therein) under the Unsecured Notes Indenture. If Vroom continues on its current course and is subjected to delisting, it will default under the Unsecured Notes Indenture. This default, in turn, will entitle Unsecured Noteholders to demand repurchase of their Unsecured Notes, which obligation Vroom, Inc. will be unable to meet due to insufficient liquidity. Moreover, though the Non-Debtor Affiliates remain able to satisfy their own funded debt and trade obligations when they come due in the ordinary course, the additional burden of the Unsecured Notes rendered the Company in need of relief from a liquidity perspective. Because the Unsecured Notes are structurally subordinate to the Non-Debtor Affiliates’ trade and funded debt, the Company determined that negotiating with the Unsecured Noteholders was the most practical approach, in addition to minimizing disruption to the Company’s commercial operations.

In December 2023, Vroom’s management commenced discussions with the principals and advisors of Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. (“Mudrick”), the largest holder of Unsecured Notes, in the hope that Mudrick would be amenable to restructuring the Unsecured Notes, as the Debtor believed was essential to raise capital to continue implementation of the Long-Term Roadmap. Mudrick had acquired a significant portion of the Unsecured Notes in mid-2022, and Vroom’s management had begun meeting with Mudrick at least quarterly following Vroom’s May 2022 first-quarter earnings call.

After Mudrick signed a non-disclosure agreement (an “NDA”), Vroom shared the slide deck it was using to market Vroom to investors in its ongoing effort to raise capital. Vroom explained to Mudrick that, in order to raise capital to implement the Long-Term Roadmap, Vroom was looking for Mudrick’s cooperation in restructuring the Unsecured Notes. Mudrick indicated willingness to partake in discussions regarding such a restructuring provided that Vroom was able to raise incremental capital. After such capital raise efforts were determined to be futile and Vroom implemented the Value Maximization Plan, Vroom continued to meet at least quarterly with Mudrick. In August 2024, Vroom met with Mudrick (which was bound by a new NDA) to share its new Long-Term Strategic Plan and to discuss recapitalizing the Company. Following months of discussion regarding the general parameters of a recapitalization, by early October 2024, Vroom and Mudrick began focusing their negotiations on the specific terms of a debt-for-equity exchange.

In accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtor anticipates filing a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on or about November 13, 2024, and anticipates filing the Plan and this Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court concurrently or shortly thereafter. The filing of the petition will commence the Chapter 11 Case, at which time the Debtor will be afforded the benefits, and become subject to the limitations, of the Bankruptcy Code.

15

The Debtor intends to continue to operate its business in the ordinary course during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case as it has prior to the Petition Date. The Debtor plans to file various motions seeking relief from the Bankruptcy Court which, if granted, will ensure a seamless transition between the Debtor’s prepetition and postpetition business operations, facilitate a smooth reorganization through the Chapter 11 Case, and minimize any disruptions to the Debtor’s businesses. The following is a brief overview of the substantive relief the Debtor intends to seek on the Petition Date to maintain its operations in the ordinary course.

The Debtor and the Non-Debtor Affiliates maintain a centralized Cash management system designed to receive, monitor, aggregate, and distribute Cash. On the Petition Date, the Debtor intends to seek authority from the Bankruptcy Court to continue the use of its existing Cash management system, bank accounts, and related business forms to avoid any disruption to the Debtor’s business and facilitate the efficient administration of the Chapter 11 Case.

The Debtor has certain net operating losses and other tax attributes that may provide material future tax savings or other tax structuring possibilities in the Chapter 11 Case. As a result, on the Petition Date, the Debtor intends to seek entry of an order from the Bankruptcy Court (a) approving certain notification procedures related to certain transfers of, or claims of worthlessness with respect to, the beneficial ownership of Vroom’s outstanding common stock, and (b) directing that any purchase, sale, other transfer of, or claim of worthlessness with respect to, the beneficial ownership of Vroom’s outstanding common stock in violation of the procedures shall be null and void ab initio.

The Debtor intends to file a motion requesting that the Bankruptcy Court, among other things, (i) schedule a combined hearing to consider (a) approval of the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement on a final basis and (b) confirmation of the Plan; and (ii) conditionally approve the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement and approve the Debtor’s proposed solicitation procedures with respect to the solicitation of the Plan using this Disclosure Statement. The Debtor anticipates that notice of the Confirmation Hearing will be published and mailed to all known Holders of Claims and Equity Interests at least twenty-eight (28) days before the date by which objections to Confirmation must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

The Debtor intends to file several other motions that are common to chapter 11 proceedings of similar size and complexity as the Chapter 11 Case, including, among others, applications to retain various professionals to assist the Debtor in the Chapter 11 Case.

16

In the ordinary course of business, from time to time, the Debtor is the subject of complaints or litigation from third parties claiming that the Debtor did not meet certain disclosure requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933. At present, Vroom is subject to a pending class action lawsuit captioned In re Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 21-cv-2477 (S.D.N.Y.) and certain purported shareholder derivative lawsuits alleging claims based on the same general course of conduct. The Debtor believes these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously contest the claims asserted therein. While the outcome of any complex legal proceeding is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, based upon information presently known to management, the Debtor believes that the potential liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Debtor’s financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Notwithstanding this belief, legal proceedings are subject to substantial uncertainties concerning the outcome of material factual and legal issues relating to the litigation. Accordingly, the Debtor cannot currently predict the manner and timing of the resolution of some of these matters and may be unable to estimate a range of possible losses or any minimum loss from such matters.

This section of the Disclosure Statement summarizes the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan.

Subject to the paragraph below regarding Professional Fee Claims, to the extent such Claim has not already been paid in full during the Chapter 11 Case, on the later of the Effective Date or the date on which an Administrative Claim becomes an Allowed Administrative Claim, or, in each such case, as soon as practicable thereafter, each Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim (other than an Allowed Professional Fee Claim or fees and charges assessed against the Estate under section 1930, chapter 123, of title 28, United States Code), in full and final satisfaction, settlement, discharge and release of, and in exchange for, such Claim, shall receive, at the option of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable: (a) payment in full in Cash in an amount equal to the due and unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Claim or (b) such other less favorable treatment as to which the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, and the Holder of such Allowed Administrative Claim shall have agreed upon in writing; or (c) such other treatment as permitted by section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that Administrative Claims incurred by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business may be paid in the ordinary course of business by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in accordance with such applicable terms and conditions relating thereto without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

17

All final requests for Professional Fee Claims shall be Filed no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. After notice in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code and prior Bankruptcy Court orders, the Allowed amounts of such Professional Fee Claims shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court. Objections to any Professional Fee Claim must be Filed and served on the Reorganized Debtor and the requesting party by no later than twenty-one (21) days after the Filing of the applicable final request for payment of the Professional Fee Claim.

No later than the Effective Date, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall establish and fund the Professional Fee Escrow Account with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Reserve Amount. The Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be maintained by the Reorganized Debtor, in trust solely for the benefit of the Professionals. The Reorganized Debtor shall not commingle any funds contained in the Professional Fee Escrow Account. No Liens, claims, or interests shall encumber the Professional Fee Escrow Account or Cash held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account in any way. Such funds shall not be considered property of the Estate, the Debtor, or the Reorganized Debtor. The amount of Professional Fee Claims owing to the Professionals shall be paid in full in Cash to such Professionals by the Reorganized Debtor from the Professional Fee Escrow Account within five (5) Business Days after such Professional Fee Claims are Allowed by a Final Order; provided that the Debtor’s and the Reorganized Debtor’s obligations to pay Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall not be limited or deemed limited to funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account. To the extent that funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy the Allowed amount of Professional Fee Claims owing to the Professionals, the Reorganized Debtor shall pay such amounts within ten (10) Business Days after entry of the order approving such Professional Fee Claims. When all such Professional Fee Claims have been resolved (either because they are Allowed Professional Fee Claims that have been paid or because they have been disallowed, expunged, or withdrawn), any remaining amount in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall promptly be paid to the Reorganized Debtor without any further action or order of the Bankruptcy Court and distributed as set forth in the Plan.

To receive payment for unbilled fees and expenses incurred through the Effective Date, the Professionals shall estimate their accrued and unpaid Professional Fee Claims prior to and as of the Effective Date and shall deliver such estimate to the Debtor within five (5) days of the Effective Date. If a Professional does not provide such estimate, the Reorganized Debtor shall estimate the accrued and unpaid fees and expenses of such Professional; provided, that such estimate shall not be considered an admission or limitation with respect to the fees and expenses of such Professional. The total amount so estimated as of the Effective Date shall comprise the Professional Fee Reserve Amount; provided, that the Reorganized Debtor shall use Cash on hand to increase the amount of the Professional Fee Escrow Account to the extent fee applications are Filed after the Effective Date in excess of the amount held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account based on such estimates.

18

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, from and after the Confirmation Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall in the ordinary course of business pay (subject to the receipt of an invoice) in Cash the reasonable and documented legal, professional, or other fees and expenses incurred by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor (as applicable) after the Confirmation Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Upon the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Reorganized Debtor may employ and pay any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Subject to Article VIII of the Plan, except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for each Allowed Priority Tax Claim, each Holder of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall be treated in accordance with the terms set forth in section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code and, for the avoidance of doubt, Holders of Allowed Priority Tax Claims will receive, if legally required, interest on such Allowed Priority Tax Claims after the Effective Date in accordance with sections 511 and 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Reorganized Debtor and the Holder of such Claim, or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or in the ordinary course of business. On the Effective Date, any Liens securing any Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be deemed released, terminated, and extinguished, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act, or action under applicable law, regulation, order or rule, or the vote, consent, authorization, or approval of any Person.

All fees due and payable pursuant to section 1930 of chapter 123 of the Judicial Code prior to the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtor. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall pay any and all such fees when due and payable, and shall File with the Bankruptcy Court quarterly reports in a form reasonably acceptable to the United States Trustee. The Debtor shall remain obligated to pay quarterly fees to the United States Trustee until the earliest of the Chapter 11 Case being closed, dismissed, or converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Except for the Claims addressed in Article II of the Plan, all Claims and Equity Interests are classified in the Classes set forth below. In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor has not classified Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, as described in Article II.

19

The categories of Claims and Equity Interests listed below classify Claims and Equity Interests for all purposes, including, without limitation, for voting, Confirmation, and distribution pursuant hereto and pursuant to sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan deems a Claim or Equity Interest to be classified in a particular Class only to the extent that such Claim or Equity Interest qualifies within the description of that Class, and such Claim or Equity Interest shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent that any remaining portion of such Claim or Equity Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class. A Claim or Equity Interest is in a particular Class only to the extent that any such Claim or Equity Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not been paid, released, disallowed, or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

The following table designates the Classes of Claims against and Equity Interests in each of the Debtor and specifies which of those Classes are (a) Impaired or Unimpaired by the Plan, (b) entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan in accordance with section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (c) presumed to accept or reject the Plan, as the case may be.

Class 1 is an Unimpaired Class. Subject to Article VIII of the Plan, to the extent such Allowed Other Priority Claim has not already been paid in full during the Chapter 11 Case, on the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim shall receive in full and final satisfaction, settlement, discharge and release of, and in exchange for, such Other Priority Claim, at the option of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable: (a) payment in full in Cash in an amount equal to the due and unpaid portion of such

20

Allowed Other Priority Claim; (b) such other less favorable treatment as to which the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, and the Holder of such Allowed Other Priority Claim shall have agreed upon in writing; or (c) such other treatment such that such Allowed Other Priority Claim will be rendered Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that Other Priority Claims incurred by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business may be paid in the ordinary course of business by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the terms and conditions of any agreements relating thereto without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Class 2 is an Unimpaired Class. Subject to Article VIII of the Plan, except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Secured Claim agrees to less favorable treatment of its Allowed Secured Claim, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of each Allowed Secured Claim, on the Effective Date, each Holder of such Allowed Secured Claim shall receive either (a) payment in full in Cash; (b) delivery of the Collateral securing such Allowed Secured Claim; (c) reinstatement of such Allowed Secured Claim; or (d) such other treatment rendering such Allowed Secured Claim Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that Secured Claims incurred by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business may be paid in the ordinary course of business by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the terms and conditions of any agreements relating thereto without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Class 3 is an Impaired Class. Except to the extent that such Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim agrees to less favorable treatment, on the Effective Date, each Holder of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims will receive, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, discharge and release of, and in exchange for, its Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim, its Pro Rata share of 92.94% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution by (i) the New Warrants, (ii) the MIP Equity, and (iii) the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards).

Class 4 is an Unimpaired Class. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim and the Debtor agree to less favorable treatment on account of such Claim, each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed General Unsecured Claim, on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date or when such obligation becomes due in the ordinary course of business in accordance with applicable law or the terms of any agreement that governs such Allowed General Unsecured Claim, whichever is later, in the sole discretion of the Debtor, either (a) payment in full in Cash, or (b) such other treatment as to render such Holder Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that no Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive any distribution for any Claim that has previously been satisfied pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

21

Class 5 is an Unimpaired Class. On the Effective Date, each 510(b) Claim shall be rendered Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Holders of Claims in Class 5 are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Holders of Claims in Class 5 are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

Class 6 is an Unimpaired Class. On the Effective Date, each Intercompany Claim shall be, at the option of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, reinstated, compromised, or canceled and released without any distribution.

Class 7 is an Impaired Class. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Existing Equity Interest agrees to less favorable treatment, on the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed Existing Equity Interest shall receive:

Class 8 is an Impaired Class. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Existing Equity Award agrees to less favorable treatment, on the Effective Date, all Allowed Existing Equity Awards shall be converted into the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, nothing under the Plan shall affect or limit the Debtor’s or the Reorganized Debtor’s rights and defenses (whether legal or equitable) in respect of any Unimpaired Claims, including, without limitation, all rights in respect of legal and equitable defenses to or setoffs or recoupments against any such Unimpaired Claims.

Any Class of Claims or Equity Interests that is not occupied as of the commencement of the Combined Hearing by an Allowed Claim or a Claim temporarily Allowed under Bankruptcy Rule 3018, or as to which no vote is cast, shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan and for purposes of determining acceptance or rejection of the Plan by such Class pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

22

Classes 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are Unimpaired under the Plan. Therefore, the Holders of Claims in such Classes are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Notwithstanding their non-voting status, Holders of Claims in Classes 1, 2, 4, and 5 will receive a Release Opt-Out Form to allow such Holders to affirmatively opt out of the Third-Party Release.

Classes 3, 7, and 8 are Impaired under the Plan. The Holders of Claims and Equity Interests in such Classes as of the Voting Record Date are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

If a Class contains Claims or Equity Interests eligible to vote and no Holder of Claims or Equity Interests eligible to vote in such Class votes to accept or reject the Plan, the Plan shall be presumed accepted by the Holders of such Claims or Equity Interests, as applicable, in such Class.

Pursuant to section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and except as otherwise provided in section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, an Impaired Class of Claims has accepted the Plan if the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of the Allowed Claims in such Class actually voting have voted to accept the Plan.

Pursuant to section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code and except as otherwise provided in section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, an Impaired Class of Equity Interests has accepted the Plan if the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount of the Allowed Equity Interests in such Class actually voting have voted to accept the Plan.

If a controversy arises as to whether any Claims or Equity Interests, or any Class of Claims or Equity Interests, is Impaired or properly classified under the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court shall, after notice and a hearing, determine such controversy at or before the Combined Hearing.

Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied for purposes of Confirmation by acceptance of the Plan by Class 3. The Debtor requests confirmation of the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Impaired Class that does not accept the Plan pursuant to section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor reserves the right, subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, to modify the Plan or the Plan Supplement in order to satisfy the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, if necessary.

23

The Debtor has, and upon Confirmation shall be deemed to have, solicited votes on the Plan from the Voting Classes in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with Solicitation. Accordingly, the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, and each of their respective Representatives shall be entitled to, and upon Confirmation are granted, the protections of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Without limiting any rights and remedies of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor under the Plan or applicable law, the entry of the Combined Order shall constitute authorization for the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate and implement the provisions of the Plan prior to, on and after the Effective Date, subject to the consent rights and agreements and obligations contained in the Restructuring Support Agreement. Such restructuring may include one or more issuances, transfers, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, restructurings, dispositions, liquidations, conversions, elections, dissolutions, cancellations, formations, or creations of one or more new Entities, as may be determined by the Debtor (in consultation with the Required Consenting Noteholders) or Reorganized Debtor, to be necessary or appropriate (collectively, the “Restructuring Transactions”).

All such Restructuring Transactions taken, or caused to be taken, shall be deemed to have been authorized and approved by the Bankruptcy Court upon the entry of the Combined Order. The actions to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions may include: (a) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of issuance, transfer, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation, conversion, elections, cancellation, formation, creation, or dissolution containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the applicable requirements of applicable state law and such other terms to which the applicable Entities may agree; (b) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of issuance, transfer, assignment, assumption, distribution, contribution, direction, or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan and having such other terms to which the applicable Entities may agree; (c) the filing of appropriate certificates or articles of issuance, transfer, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation, cancellation, formation, creation, conversion, or dissolution, or the filing of elections, pursuant to applicable state law; (d) the creation of one or more new Entities; and (e) all other actions that the applicable Entities determine to be necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, making filings or recordings that may be required by applicable state law in connection with such transactions.

The Restructuring Transactions shall include the Restructuring Transactions set forth in the Plan, as well as those which may be set forth in the Restructuring Transaction Steps Memorandum (if applicable). Pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Combined Order shall and shall be deemed to authorize the Restructuring Transactions, including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, those set forth in the Restructuring Transaction Steps Memorandum, which shall and shall be deemed to occur in the sequence set forth therein.

24

Subject to the Restructuring Transactions permitted by Article V.A of the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall continue to exist as a separate legal Entity in accordance with the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated and pursuant to its certificate or articles of incorporation and by-laws, or other applicable organizational documents, in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate and/or articles of incorporation and by-laws, or other applicable organizational documents, are amended, restated, cancelled, or otherwise modified by the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or otherwise, and to the extent any such document is amended, such document is deemed amended pursuant to the Plan and requires no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state or federal law).

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Combined Order, or any Restructuring Document, pursuant to sections 1123(a)(5), 1123(b)(3), 1141(b) and (c) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, on and after the Effective Date, all property and assets of the Debtor’s Estate, all claims, rights, and Litigation Claims of the Debtor, and any other assets or property acquired by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor during the Chapter 11 Case or under or in connection with the Plan (other than Claims or Causes of Action subject to the Debtor Release, the Professional Fee Escrow Account and any rejected Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases), shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, and other encumbrances, subject to the Restructuring Transactions and Liens that survive the occurrence of the Effective Date as described in Article III of the Plan. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may (a) operate its businesses, (b) use, acquire, and dispose of its property and (c) compromise or settle any Claims, in each case without notice to, supervision of or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free and clear of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, other than restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan or the Combined Order.

On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, subject to Article V.E of the Plan and the terms and conditions of the Restructuring Transactions, the Reorganized Debtor shall issue the Plan Securities to (a) Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims in Class 3 and (b) Holders of Allowed Equity Interests in Class 7 and Class 8. For avoidance of doubt, the New Common Stock issued to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims in Class 3 and Allowed Equity Interests in Class 8 shall be subject to dilution by the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, the New Warrants, and the MIP Equity; the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards issued to Holders of Existing Equity Awards in Class 8 shall be subject to dilution by the New Warrants and the MIP Equity; the New Warrants shall be subject to dilution by the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards

25

and the MIP Equity; and the MIP Equity will be issued on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect to the issuance, vesting or exercise, as applicable, of all Plan Securities. The New Common Stock shall carry voting rights in accordance with the New Governance Documents.

Distribution of the Plan Securities may be made by delivery of stock certificates or book-entry transfer thereof by (or at the direction or consent of) the applicable Distribution Agent in accordance with the Plan, the New Warrants Agreement, and the New Governance Documents. Upon the Effective Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the authorized capital stock or other equity securities of the Reorganized Debtor shall be the number of shares of common stock of the Reorganized Debtor as may be designated in the New Governance Documents and/or the New Warrants Agreement.

On and after the Effective Date, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, are authorized to and shall provide or issue the Plan Securities (including the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards or the MIP Equity and excluding the New Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants) and any and all other notes, stock, instruments, certificates, and other documents or agreements required to be distributed, issued, executed or delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Plan, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Entity.

The offering, issuance, and distribution of Plan Securities (including the New Common Stock, Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, the MIP Equity, and the issuance of New Common Stock upon exercise of the New Warrants) shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable law requiring registration before the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities pursuant to section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Reorganized Debtor reserves the right to register Plan Securities, including the shares of New Common Stock underlying the New Warrants, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by filing a registration statement on Form S-1 in its discretion if it determines that doing so would be necessary or desirable in connection with the trading of such Plan Securities. The New Warrants will not be exercisable for a period of one (1) year after the Effective Date.

The Plan Securities shall be freely transferable by the recipients thereof, subject to (a) any limitations that may be applicable to any Person receiving such securities that is an “affiliate” of the Reorganized Debtor as determined in accordance with applicable U.S. securities law and regulations or is otherwise an “underwriter” as defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) any transfer restrictions of such securities and instruments in the New Governance Documents; and (c) the receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals.

The Plan Securities issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), Regulation D and/or Regulation S and not subject to Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, will be “restricted securities” subject to resale restrictions and may be resold, exchanged, assigned, or otherwise transferred only pursuant to registration (or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements) under the

26

Securities Act and other applicable law. Such securities will also be subject to any transfer restrictions in the New Governance Documents and the receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals.

The Plan Securities will be made eligible for clearance and trading through the book entry facilities of DTC, subject to restrictions on transfer, including any restrictions under the applicable non-bankruptcy law, on or as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, and the Reorganized Debtor shall not be required to provide any further evidence other than the Plan or Combined Order with respect to the treatment of such applicable portion of the New Common Stock or the New Warrants, and the Plan or Combined Order shall be deemed to be legal and binding obligations of the Reorganized Debtor in all respects.

DTC (and any stock transfer agent) shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and Combined Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the Plan Securities are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, neither DTC nor any stock transfer agent may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the Plan Securities (including the New Common Stock, the New Warrants, the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, or the MIP Equity) are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

To the extent de-listed from a nationally recognized securities exchange in connection with the Chapter 11 Case, the Reorganized Debtor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the New Common Stock for trading on Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange or a comparable nationally recognized securities exchange following the Effective Date.

Promptly following the Effective Date, the New Board shall approve and implement the MIP consistent with the MIP Term Sheet. The RSU Awards and the ESO Grants shall be granted subject to approval by the New Board, with the allocation of such grants to be determined in good faith by the New Board in consultation with the Reorganized Debtor’s chief executive officer.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of satisfying all Claims and Equity Interests proposed under the Plan takes into consideration any and all subordination rights, whether arising by contract or under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) or 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. On the Effective Date, any and all subordination rights or obligations that a Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest may have with respect to any distribution to be made under the Plan will be discharged and terminated, and all actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights will be enjoined permanently. Accordingly, distributions under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests will not be subject to turnover or payment to a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights, or to levy, garnishment, attachment or other legal process by a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights; provided, that any such subordination rights shall be preserved in the event the Combined Order is vacated, the Effective Date does not occur in accordance with the terms hereunder or the Plan is revoked or withdrawn.

27

To the fullest extent provided under section 1141(c) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided herein or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to Article VII of the Plan, all Liens, Claims, mortgages, deeds of trust, or other security interests against the assets or property of the Debtor or the Estate shall be fully released, canceled, terminated, extinguished and discharged, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person or Entity. The filing of the Combined Order with any federal, state, or local agency or department shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required to effect, the termination of such Liens, Claims and other interests to the extent provided in the immediately preceding sentence. Any Person or Entity holding such Liens, Claims or interests shall, pursuant to section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, promptly execute and deliver to the Reorganized Debtor such instruments of termination, release, satisfaction and/or assignment (in recordable form) as may be reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtor.

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtor’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws shall be amended or amended and restated, as applicable, as may be required to be consistent with the provisions of the Plan and the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent required under the Plan or applicable non-bankruptcy law, the Reorganized Debtor will file the New Governance Documents with the applicable Secretary of State and/or other applicable authorities in any applicable state, province, or country of incorporation in accordance with the corporate or other applicable laws of such states, provinces, or countries. The New Governance Documents shall, among other things: (a) authorize the issuance of the Plan Securities; and (b) pursuant to and only to the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, include a provision prohibiting the issuance of non-voting equity Securities. Subject to Article VI.E of the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may amend and restate its certificate of incorporation and other formation and constituent documents as permitted by the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation and the terms of the New Governance Documents, and the Plan.

The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor may take any and all actions to execute, deliver, File or record such contracts, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the issuance, transfer, or distribution of the Plan Securities to be issued pursuant hereto, and without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, any act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or any requirement of further action, vote or other approval or authorization by the security holders, officers or directors of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor or by any other Person (except for those expressly required pursuant hereto).

28

Prior to, on or after the Effective Date (as appropriate), all matters provided for pursuant to the Plan that would otherwise require approval of the stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members or partners of the Debtor (as of prior to the Effective Date) shall be deemed to have been so approved and shall be in effect prior to, on or after the Effective Date (as appropriate) pursuant to applicable law and without any requirement of further action by such Person or Entity, or the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions or consents of or from any such Person or Entity.

As of the Effective Date, all matters provided for in the Plan involving the legal or corporate structure of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor (including, without limitation, the adoption of the New Governance Documents and similar constituent and organizational documents, and the selection of directors and officers for, each of the Reorganized Debtor), and any legal or corporate action required by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor in connection with the Plan, including, without limitation, in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of the New Warrants Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in full force and effect in all respects, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or any requirement of further action, vote or other approval or authorization by any Person or Entity.

On and after the Effective Date, the appropriate officers of the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor are authorized to issue, execute, and deliver, and consummate the transactions contemplated by, the contracts, agreements, documents, guarantees, pledges, consents, securities, certificates, resolutions and instruments contemplated by or described in the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, and without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or any requirement of further action, vote or other approval or authorization by any Person or Entity. The secretary and any assistant secretary of the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to certify or attest to any of the foregoing actions.

Prior to or on the Effective Date, the Debtor is authorized, in its sole discretion, to change its name and to take any other such action as required to effectuate a change of name in its jurisdiction of incorporation. To the extent the Debtor changes its name prior to the closing of the Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor shall change the case caption accordingly.

From and after the Effective Date, each director or officer of the Reorganized Debtor shall serve pursuant to the terms of the charters and bylaws or other constituent documents of the Reorganized Debtor and applicable state corporation law. Additionally, in accordance with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the identities and affiliations of the members of the New Board and any Person proposed to serve as an officer of the Reorganized Debtor shall be disclosed in the Plan Supplement.

29

On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan, all notes, stock, instruments, certificates, credit agreements and other agreements and documents evidencing or relating to the Unsecured Notes Claims, any Impaired Claim, and/or any Impaired Equity Interest (including Existing Equity Interests and Existing Equity Awards) shall be canceled and the obligations of (a) the Debtor thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be fully released, terminated, extinguished and discharged, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or any requirement of further action, vote or other approval or authorization by any Person or Entity, and (b) the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall be discharged and its duties deemed satisfied except (to the extent applicable) with respect to serving as the Distribution Agent with respect to the applicable Unsecured Notes Claims; provided, that the Unsecured Notes Documents shall continue in effect for the limited purpose of allowing Holders of Claims thereunder to receive, and allowing and preserving the rights of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee or other applicable Distribution Agent thereunder to make (or cause to be made), distributions under the Plan. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan and the Restructuring Documents, upon completion of all such distributions the Unsecured Notes Documents and any and all notes, securities and instruments issued in connection therewith shall terminate completely without further notice or action and be deemed surrendered.

Notwithstanding Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, only such provisions that, by their express terms, survive the termination or the satisfaction and discharge of the Unsecured Notes Documents shall survive the occurrence of the Effective Date, including the rights of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to assert, pursue, and be paid with respect to any charging liens, expense reimbursement, indemnification, and similar amounts.

All Cash necessary for the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to make payments required pursuant to the Plan will be obtained from their respective Cash balances, including Cash from operations. Cash payments to be made pursuant to the Plan will be made by the Reorganized Debtor. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may transfer funds from its Non-Debtor Affiliates to itself through its integrated cash management system and/or intercompany transactions as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Reorganized Debtor to make the payments and distributions contemplated by the Plan. To the extent consistent with any applicable limitations set forth in any applicable post-Effective Date agreement, any changes in intercompany account balances resulting from such transfers will be accounted for and settled in accordance with the Debtor’s historical intercompany account settlement practices and will not violate the terms of the Plan.

From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in any post-Effective Date agreement, shall have the right and authority without further order of the Bankruptcy Court to raise additional capital and obtain additional financing as the New Board deems appropriate.

30

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except where such Causes of Action have been expressly released (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the Debtor Releases provided in Article X.B and the Exculpation contained in Article X.E of the Plan), the Reorganized Debtor shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including, without limitation, any actions specifically identified in the Plan Supplement or the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights to commence, prosecute or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtor, as the successor-in-interest to the Debtor and the Estate, may, and shall have the exclusive right to, enforce, sue on, settle, compromise, transfer or assign (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of such Causes of Action without notice to or approval from the Bankruptcy Court.

No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement (including the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action), or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action of the Debtor against it. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity.

The Debtor expressly reserves all Causes of Action and Litigation Claims for later adjudication by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor (including, without limitation, Causes of Action and Litigation Claims not specifically identified in the Plan Supplement or the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action or of which the Debtor may presently be unaware or which may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtor at this time or facts or circumstances that may change or be different from those the Debtor now believes to exist) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches shall apply to such Causes of Action or Litigation Claims upon or after the Confirmation or Consummation of the Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan or the Combined Order, except in each case where such Causes of Action or Litigation Claims have been expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in the Plan (including, without limitation, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Releases contained in Article X.B and Exculpation contained in Article X.E of the Plan) or any other Final Order (including, without limitation, the Combined Order). In addition, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any claims alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtor is a plaintiff, defendant or an interested party, against any Person or Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor do not reserve any Causes of Action or Litigation Claims that have been expressly released (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Claims otherwise released pursuant to the Debtor Releases provided in Article X.B and the Exculpation contained in Article X.E of the Plan).

31

The Restructuring Expenses incurred, or estimated to be incurred, up to and including the Effective Date shall be paid in full in Cash on the Effective Date (to the extent not previously paid during the course of the Chapter 11 Case) in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set forth in the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement, as applicable, without any requirement to File a fee application with the Bankruptcy Court or for Bankruptcy Court review or approval. On or before the date that is five (5) days prior to the Effective Date, invoices for all Restructuring Expenses incurred or estimated to be incurred prior to and as of the Effective Date shall be submitted to the Debtor and paid by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set forth in the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement. In addition, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor (as applicable) shall continue to pay, when due and payable in the ordinary course, the Restructuring Expenses related to the Plan and implementation, Consummation, and defense of the Restructuring Transactions, whether incurred before, on, or after the Effective Date, in accordance with any applicable engagement letter.

On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtor will be assumed by the Debtor in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for those Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that, in each case:

Without amending or altering any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the Combined Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such assumptions and the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases set forth in the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.

32

To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned (as applicable) pursuant to the Plan or any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, without limitation, any “change of control” provision) prohibits, restricts or conditions, or purports to prohibit, restrict or condition, or is modified, breached or terminated, or deemed modified, breached or terminated by, (a) the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case or the insolvency or financial condition of the Debtor at any time before the closing of the Chapter 11 Case, (b) the Debtor’s or the Reorganized Debtor’s assumption or assumption and assignment (as applicable) of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or (c) the Confirmation or Consummation of the Plan, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to modify or terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights or remedies with respect thereto, and any required consent under any such contract or lease shall be deemed satisfied by the Confirmation of the Plan.

Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed and/or assigned pursuant to the Plan shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the Reorganized Debtor or the applicable assignee in accordance with its terms and conditions, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court approving its assumption and/or assignment, or applicable law.

The inclusion or exclusion of a contract or lease on any schedule or exhibit shall not constitute an admission by the Debtor that such contract or lease is an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Debtor has any liability thereunder.

Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any Cure Claim, (b) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), if applicable, under the Executory Contract or the Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the Cure Claims shall be paid following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases; provided, that after the Confirmation Date, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may settle any dispute regarding the amount of any Cure Claim without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

All Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to the Plan or the Combined Order, if any, must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court within twenty-one (21) days after service of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Combined Order) approving such rejection. Any Claim arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that becomes an Allowed Claim is classified and shall be treated as a Class 4 General Unsecured Claim.

33

Any Person or Entity that is required to File a Proof of Claim arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or an Unexpired Lease that fails to timely do so shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Claim, and such Claim shall not be enforceable, against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or the Estate, and the Debtor, its Estate, and the Reorganized Debtor, and their respective assets and property, shall be forever discharged from any and all indebtedness and liability with respect to such Claim unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise provided herein. All such Claims shall, as of the Effective Date, be subject to the permanent injunction set forth in Article X.F of the Plan.

On the Effective Date, each D&O Liability Insurance Policy shall be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that is and will be assumed by the Debtor (and assigned to the Reorganized Debtor, if necessary) pursuant to section 365(a) and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as to which no Proof of Claim, request for administrative expense, or Cure Claim need be Filed, and all Claims arising from the D&O Liability Insurance Policies will survive the Effective Date and be Unimpaired. Unless previously effectuated by separate order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Combined Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtor’s assumption of each of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtor shall maintain and continue in full force and effect the D&O Liability Insurance Policies for the benefit of the insured Persons for the full term of such policies, and all insured Persons, including without limitation, any members, managers, directors, and officers of the Reorganized Debtor who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date or any other individuals covered by such D&O Liability Insurance Policies, shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policies for the full term of such policies regardless of whether such insured Persons remain in such positions after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after assumption of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, nothing in the Plan or the Combined Order alters the terms and conditions of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies. Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan shall not impair or otherwise modify any available defenses of the Reorganized Debtor under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies. For the avoidance of doubt, the D&O Liability Insurance Policies shall continue to apply with respect to actions, or failures to act, that occurred on or prior to the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies.

The Debtor is further authorized to take such actions, and to execute and deliver such documents, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement, maintain, cause the binding of, satisfy any terms or conditions of, or otherwise secure for the insureds the benefits of the D&O Tail, without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court or approval or consent of any Person or Entity.

34

On the Effective Date, all Indemnification Provisions shall be deemed and treated as Executory Contracts that are and shall be assumed by the Debtor (and assigned to the Reorganized Debtor, if necessary) pursuant to section 365(a) and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as to which no Proof of Claim, request for administrative expense, or Cure Claim need be Filed, and all Claims arising from the Indemnification Provisions shall survive the Effective Date and be Unimpaired. Unless previously effectuated by separate order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Combined Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtor’s assumption of each of the Indemnification Provisions. Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan shall not impair or otherwise modify any available defenses of the Reorganized Debtor or other applicable parties under the Indemnification Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnification Provisions shall continue to apply with respect to actions, or failures to act, that occurred on or prior to the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indemnification Provisions.

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, all Specified Employee Plans (other than awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and other equity awards, including stock rights under any stock purchase plan) shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. All Proofs of Claim Filed for amounts due under any Specified Employee Plans shall be considered satisfied by the applicable agreement and/or program and agreement to assume and cure in the ordinary course as provided in the Plan. All Specified Employee Plans to which contributions are made will be deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Reorganized Debtor reserves all of its rights under such agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall honor all its obligations under section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code. After the Effective Date, the New Board shall, in its discretion, implement employee incentive or bonus plans as and when it deems appropriate in accordance with the terms of any applicable New Governance Document; provided, that the MIP shall be implemented pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan, including Article V.F of the Plan. Unless previously effectuated by separate order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Combined Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtor’s assumption of each of the Specified Employee Plans.

On the Effective Date, each Insurance Contract shall be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that is and shall be assumed by the Debtor (and assigned to the Reorganized Debtor, if necessary) pursuant to section 365(a) and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as to which no Proof of Claim, request for administrative expense, or Cure Claim need be Filed. Unless previously effectuated by separate order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Combined Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtor’s assumption of each of the Insurance Contracts. Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan shall not impair or otherwise modify any available defenses of the Reorganized Debtor or any insurer under the Insurance Contracts.

35

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article VI of the Plan, in the event of a dispute as to whether a contract is executory or a lease is unexpired, the right of the Reorganized Debtor to move to assume or reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is ten (10) days after entry of a Final Order by the Bankruptcy Court determining that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired. The deemed assumption provided for in Article VI.A of the Plan shall not apply to any such contract or lease, and any such contract or lease shall be assumed or rejected only upon motion of the Reorganized Debtor following the Bankruptcy Court’s determination that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated hereunder. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtor during the Chapter 11 Case shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by the Debtor may be performed by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of business without further approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtor or any other party that any contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter its treatment of such contract or lease.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date (or if a Claim or Equity Interest is not an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest on the Effective Date, on the date that such Claim or Equity Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest

36

(as applicable) shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests (as applicable) in the applicable Class; provided, that any Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Case or assumed by the Debtor prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business.

In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article VIII of the Plan.

Except as otherwise provided in the Combined Order, all distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Distribution Agent on the Effective Date, except as otherwise set forth herein. The Reorganized Debtor may employ or contract with other Entities to assist in or make the distributions required by the Plan and may pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such Entities and the Distribution Agent in the ordinary course of business. The Distribution Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Additionally, in the event that the Distribution Agent is so otherwise ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Reorganized Debtor.

The Distribution Agent shall be empowered to: (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (ii) make all distributions contemplated thereby; (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (iv) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Distribution Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Distribution Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions thereof.

Distributions on account of the Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims shall be made to (or in coordination with) the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee will be, and shall act as, the Distribution Agent with respect to the Unsecured Notes Claims in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Unsecured Notes Documents. All distributions to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims shall be deemed completed when made by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to (or at the direction or consent of) the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee.

37

Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by the Distribution Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes), and any reasonable and documented compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable and documented attorney fees and expenses), made by the Distribution Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, and as of the date of such completion with respect to distributions made to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims, the duties of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee with respect to such distributions shall be deemed satisfied and discharged.

For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee serves as the Distribution Agent with respect to the Unsecured Notes Claims, (i) the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability and be held harmless by the Reorganized Debtor, except for its fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, and (ii) the Distribution Agent shall be deemed to be an additional capacity of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee under the applicable Unsecured Notes Documents entitling it to all rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, and protections provided under such documents.

Except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties: (a) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest have been resolved by settlement or Final Order; and (b) any Entity that holds both an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest and a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest have been resolved by settlement or Final Order or such Claims or Equity Interests have been Allowed or expunged.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests as of the Distribution Record Date, or, if applicable, to such Holders’ respective designees, as appropriate: (i) at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtor’s records as of the Distribution Record Date (or of a designee designated by a Holder of Unsecured Notes Claims); (ii) to the signatory set forth on any Proof of Claim Filed by such Holder or other Representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such Holder if no Proof of Claim is Filed or if the Debtor has not been notified in writing of a change of address); (iii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Reorganized Debtor or the applicable Distribution Agent, as appropriate, after the date of any related Proof of Claim; or (iv) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Case on the Holder’s behalf; provided, that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtor.

38

The Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be the Holder of all Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder, and all distributions on account of such Allowed Claims shall be made to or at the direction of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee. As soon as practicable following compliance with the requirements set forth in Article VII of the Plan, if applicable, the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall arrange to deliver or direct the delivery of such distributions to or on behalf of the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims in accordance with the terms of the Unsecured Notes Indenture and the Plan.

The Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, may transfer or facilitate the transfer of distributions to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims through the facilities of DTC in exchange for the relevant Unsecured Notes. If it is necessary to adopt alternate, additional, or supplemental distribution procedures for any reason, including because such distributions cannot be made through the facilities of DTC, to otherwise effectuate the distributions under the Plan, the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall implement the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary and without limiting the exculpation and release provisions thereof, the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability to any Entity with respect to distributions made or directed to be made by the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee.

No fractional shares or units of New Common Stock or Post-Effective Date Equity Awards shall be distributed and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts. Whenever any payment or distribution of a fraction of a dollar, share, or unit of New Common Stock or Post-Effective Date Equity Awards under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or distribution will reflect (a) with respect to New Common Stock, a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar, share, or unit of New Common Stock or Post-Effective Date Equity Awards (up or down), with half dollars, shares, or units of New Common Stock or less being rounded down; and (b) with respect to Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, a rounding of such fraction down to the nearest whole dollar, share, or unit of Post-Effective Date Equity Awards. The total number of authorized shares of New Common Stock or shares or units of Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, as applicable, shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

No Distribution Agent shall have any obligation to make a distribution on account of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest that is Impaired under the Plan if the amount to be distributed to the specific Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest on the Effective Date does not constitute a final distribution to such Holder and is or has an economic value less than $25.00, which shall be treated as an undeliverable distribution under Article VII.D.4 of the Plan.

39

If the distribution to any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest is returned to the Distribution Agent as undeliverable or is otherwise unclaimed, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address in accordance with the time frames described in Article VII.D.4(b) of the Plan, at which time (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) all currently due but missed distributions shall be made to such Holder. Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtor, subject to Article VII.D.4(b) of the Plan, until such time as any such distributions become deliverable. Undeliverable distributions shall not be entitled to any additional interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind on account of their distribution being undeliverable.

Any Holder of an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Equity Interest (or any successor or assignee or other Person or Entity claiming by, through, or on behalf of such Holder) that does not assert a right pursuant to the Plan for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution within ninety (90) days after the later of the Effective Date or the date such distribution is due shall be deemed to have forfeited its rights for such undeliverable or unclaimed distribution and shall be forever barred and enjoined from asserting any such rights for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution against the Debtor or its Estate, the Reorganized Debtor, or their respective assets or property, or any Distribution Agent. In such case, any Cash, Plan Securities, or other property reserved for distribution on account of such Claim shall become the property of the Reorganized Debtor free and clear of any Claims or other rights of such Holder with respect thereto and notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Any such Cash, Plan Securities, and/or other property, as applicable, shall thereafter be distributed or allocated in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any Distribution Agent to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest.

Checks issued by the Distribution Agent on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within ninety (90) days after the issuance of such check. Requests for reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Distribution Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim holding an un-negotiated check that does not request reissuance of such un-negotiated check within ninety (90) days after the date of mailing or other delivery of such check shall have its rights for such un-negotiated check discharged and be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting any such right against the Debtor, its Estate, the Reorganized Debtor, or their respective assets or property. In such case, any Cash held for payment on account of such Claims shall become the property of the Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of any Claims or other rights of such Holder with respect thereto and notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Any such Cash shall thereafter be distributed or allocated in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan.

40

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the Combined Order, or another Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, or required by applicable bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, as required pursuant to section 506(b) or section 511 of the Bankruptcy Code), postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim.

In connection with the Plan and all distributions hereunder, the Reorganized Debtor or other applicable Distribution Agent shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder and under all related agreements shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtor or other applicable Distribution Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such applicable withholding and reporting requirements, including (a) withholding distributions and amounts therefrom pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, including properly executed withholding certification forms, and (b) in the case of a non-Cash distribution that is subject to withholding, withholding an appropriate portion of such property and either liquidating such withheld property to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes (or reimburse the distributing party for any advance payment of the withholding tax) or pay the withholding tax using its own funds and retain such withheld property. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, upon request of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or any other applicable Distribution Agent, all Persons holding Claims or Equity Interests shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes (or to establish eligibility for a reduction of or an exemption from the withholding of any taxes), and each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest will have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. Any amounts withheld or reallocated pursuant to Article VII.G of the Plan hall be treated as if distributed to the Holder of the Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest.

Any Person or Entity entitled to receive any property as an issuance or distribution under the Plan shall, upon request, deliver to the Reorganized Debtor or other applicable Distribution Agent, or such other Person designated by the Reorganized Debtor or the Distribution Agent, an IRS Form W-9 or, if the payee is a foreign Person or Entity, an applicable IRS Form W-8, or any other forms or documents reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtor or Distribution Agent to reduce or eliminate any withholding required by any applicable Governmental Unit.

The Reorganized Debtor reserves the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.

41

To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under the Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution will, to the extent permitted by applicable law (as reasonably determined by the Reorganized Debtor), be allocated for income tax purposes to the principal amount of the Claim first and then, to the extent that the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to the portion of such Claim representing accrued but unpaid interest.

Payments of Cash made pursuant to the Plan will be in U.S. dollars and shall be made, at the option of the applicable Distribution Agent, by checks drawn on, or wire transfer from, a domestic bank selected by such Distribution Agent. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of such Distribution Agent, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

Except as otherwise provided in the “Treatment” sections in Article III of the Plan or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest will receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests in the applicable Class. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in the applicable Class treatment or in Article VIII of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, Holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends or accruals on the distributions provided for herein, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.

A Claim shall be correspondingly reduced, and the applicable portion of such Claim will be disallowed without an objection to such Claim having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives a payment on account of such Claim from a party that is not the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. To the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder will, within fourteen (14) days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the Reorganized Debtor to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution will result in the Holder owing the Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the fourteen-day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.

42

No distributions under the Plan will be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtor’s insurance policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtor’s insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims will be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in the Plan will constitute or be deemed a release, settlement, satisfaction, compromise, or waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtor or any other Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers, under any policies of insurance or applicable indemnity, nor will anything contained in the Plan constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

Without altering or limiting any of the rights and remedies of the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor under section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, all of which rights and remedies are hereby reserved, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor may, but shall not be required to, withhold (but not setoff except as set forth below) from the distributions called for hereunder on account of any Allowed Claim an amount equal to any Claims, Causes of Action and Litigation Claims of any nature that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may hold against the Holder of any such Allowed Claim; provided, that at least ten (10) days prior to effectuating such withholding, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall provide written notice thereof to the applicable Holder of such Claim, and all objections and defenses of such Holder to such withholding are preserved. In the event that any such Claims or Causes of Action are adjudicated by Final Order or otherwise resolved against the applicable Holder, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant hereto on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), the amount of such adjudicated or resolved Claims or Causes of Action. Neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim under the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims or Causes of Action, all of which are reserved unless expressly released or compromised pursuant to the Plan or the Combined Order.

43

After the Effective Date, and except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall have and shall retain any and all available rights and defenses that the Debtor had with respect to any Claim, including, without limitation, the right to assert any objection to Claims based on the limitations imposed by section 502 or section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor may contest the amount and validity of any Disputed or contingent or unliquidated Claim in the ordinary course of business in the manner and venue in which such Claim would have been determined, resolved, or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.

Any Holders of Claims disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless and until expressly Allowed pursuant to the Plan, shall not receive any distributions on account of such Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Holder have been settled or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtor by that Holder have been turned over or paid to the Reorganized Debtor.

After Confirmation but before the Effective Date, the Debtor, and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, in each case, shall have the authority to File objections to Claims (other than Claims that are Allowed under the Plan) and settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to any and all such Claims, regardless of whether such Claims are in an Unimpaired Class or otherwise; provided, that this provision shall not apply to Professional Fee Claims, which may be objected to by any party in interest in the Chapter 11 Case. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtor shall have the sole authority to administer and adjust the Claims Register and its books and records to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

After Confirmation but before the Effective Date, the Debtor, and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim or contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1334 to estimate any such Claim, whether for allowance or to determine the maximum amount of such Claim, including during the litigation concerning any objection to any Claim or during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The rights and objections of all parties are reserved in connection with any such estimation.

44

Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before fourteen (14) calendar days after the date on which such Claim is estimated. All of the aforementioned Claims and objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Claims will not be required to File a Proof of Claim, and except as provided in the Plan, no parties should File a Proof of Claim. The Debtor does not intend to object in the Bankruptcy Court to the allowance of Claims Filed; provided, that the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, reserve the right to object to any Claim that is entitled, or deemed to be entitled, to a distribution under the Plan or is rendered Unimpaired under the Plan. Instead, the Debtor intends to make distributions, as required by the Plan, in accordance with the books and records of the Debtor. Unless disputed by a Holder of a Claim, the amount set forth in the books and records of the Debtor will constitute the amount of the Allowed Claim of such Holder. If any such Holder of a Claim disagrees with the debtor’s books and records with respect to the Allowed amount of such Holder’s Claim, such Holder must so advise the Debtor in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of any distribution on account of such Holder’s Claim, in which event the Claim will become a Disputed Claim. The Debtor intends to attempt to resolve any such disputes consensually or through judicial means outside the Bankruptcy Court. Nevertheless, the Debtor may, in its discretion, File with the Bankruptcy Court (or any other court of competent jurisdiction) an objection to the allowance of any Claim or any other appropriate motion or adversary proceeding with respect thereto. All such objections will be litigated to Final Order; provided, that the Debtor may compromise, settle, withdraw, or resolve by any other method approved by the Bankruptcy Court any objections to Claims.

Any Claim that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim that has been amended or superseded, may be adjusted on the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtor without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

If an objection to a Claim is Filed, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

The Reorganized Debtor or other applicable Distribution Agent shall make distributions on account of any Disputed Claim that has become Allowed after the Effective Date at such time that such Claim becomes Allowed (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter). Such distributions will be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article VII of the Plan.

45

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

It shall be a condition to Consummation of the Plan that the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived pursuant to the provisions of Article IX.B of the Plan:

46

Subject to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the conditions to Consummation of the Plan set forth in Article IX of the Plan may be waived in writing by the Debtor and the Required Consenting Noteholders (the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and without notice, leave or order of the Bankruptcy Court or any formal action other than proceeding to consummate the Plan. The failure of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor or the Required Consenting Noteholders to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights, and each right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time.

Pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distributions, releases, and other benefits provided under the Plan, upon the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and Equity Interests and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan. The entry of the Combined Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims, Equity Interests, and controversies, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that any such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtor, its Estate, and any Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and is fair, equitable and reasonable.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the allowance, classification and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests and their respective distributions (if any) and treatments hereunder, takes into account the relative priority and rights of the Claims and the Equity Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal and equitable subordination rights relating thereto whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. As of the Effective Date, any and all contractual, legal and equitable subordination rights, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, relating to the allowance, classification and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests and their respective distributions (if any) and treatments hereunder, are settled, compromised, terminated and released pursuant hereto; provided that nothing contained herein shall preclude any Person or Entity from exercising their rights pursuant to and consistent with the terms of the Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents delivered under or in connection with the Plan.

47

As of the Effective Date, except for the rights that remain in effect from and after the Effective Date to enforce the Plan and the obligations contemplated by the Plan and Restructuring Documents, or as otherwise provided in any order of the Bankruptcy Court, on and after the Effective Date, the Released Parties will be deemed conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released, to the maximum extent permitted by law, by the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, and the Estate, in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns, and Representatives and any and all other Persons that may purport to assert any Causes of Action derivatively, by or through the foregoing Persons, from any and all Claims and Causes of Action (including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or the Estate), whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, accrued or unaccrued, existing or hereinafter arising, whether in law or equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, whether arising under federal or state statutory or common law, or any other applicable international, foreign, or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty, right, duty, requirement or otherwise, that the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Estate, or their Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Equity Interest or other Person (collectively, the “Debtor Released Claims”), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, (a) the Debtor, the Debtor’s capital structure, the Reorganized Debtor, the Estate, the Chapter 11 Case (including the filing thereof), the Disclosure Statement, the Plan (including the Plan Supplement), the Restructuring Support Agreement (and any annexes, exhibits, and term sheets attached thereto), and the Unsecured Notes and Unsecured Notes Documents, (b) the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Equity Interest that is treated in the Plan, (c) the business or contractual arrangements between the Debtor and any Released Parties, (d) the negotiation, formulation or preparation of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan (including the Plan Supplement), the Restructuring Support Agreement (and any annexes, exhibits, and term sheets attached thereto), the New Warrants Documents, the Plan Securities and any related documentation, the New Governance Documents, and any other Restructuring Documents, or related agreements, instruments or other documents, (e) the restructuring of Claims or Equity Interests prior to or during the Chapter 11 Case, (f) the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Equity Interest or Plan Securities of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, (g) the Confirmation or Consummation of the Plan or the solicitation of votes on the Plan, and/or (h) any other act or omission; provided, that the foregoing “Debtor Release” shall not operate to waive or release, and the “Debtor Released Claims” shall not include, any Cause of Action of the Debtor or its Estate: (1) against a Released Party arising from any obligations owed to the Debtor pursuant to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that

48

is not otherwise rejected by the Debtor pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code before, after, or as of the Effective Date; (2) expressly set forth in and preserved by the Plan or related documents; (3) that is of a commercial nature and arising in the ordinary course of business, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable on account of goods and services being performed; (4) against a Holder of a Disputed Claim to the extent necessary to administer and resolve such Disputed Claim solely in accordance with the Plan; or (5) arising from an act or omission that is judicially determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal conduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the “Debtor Release” set forth above does not release any post-Effective Date obligations of any Entity under the Plan or any document, instrument or agreement executed in connection with the Plan with respect to the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or the Estate.

As of the Effective Date, except for the rights that remain in effect from and after the Effective Date to enforce the Plan, and the obligations contemplated by the Plan and the Restructuring Documents, or as otherwise provided in any order of the Bankruptcy Court, on and after the Effective Date, the Released Parties will be deemed conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released, to the maximum extent permitted by law, by the Releasing Parties, in each case from any and all Claims and Causes of Action whatsoever (including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or its Estate), whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, accrued or unaccrued, existing or hereinafter arising, whether in law or equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, whether arising under federal or state statutory or common law, or any other applicable international, foreign, or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty, right, duty, requirement or otherwise, that such Holders or their estates, affiliates, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, managers, accountants, attorneys, Representatives, consultants, agents, and any other Persons claiming under or through them would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Equity Interest or other Person (collectively, the “Third-Party Released Claims”), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, (a) the Debtor, the Debtor’s capital structure, the Reorganized Debtor, the Estate, the Chapter 11 Case (including the filing thereof), this Disclosure Statement, the Plan (including the Plan Supplement), the Restructuring Support Agreement (and any annexes, exhibits, and term sheets attached thereto), the Unsecured Notes and Unsecured Notes Documents, (b) the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Equity Interest that is treated in the Plan, (c) the business or contractual arrangements between the Debtor and any Released Parties, (d) the negotiation, formulation or preparation of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan (including the Plan Supplement), the Restructuring Support Agreement (and any annexes, exhibits, and term sheets attached thereto), the New Warrants Documents, the Plan Securities and any related documentation, the New Governance Documents, and any other Restructuring Documents, or related agreements, instruments or other documents, (e) the restructuring of Claims or Equity Interests prior to or during the Chapter 11 Case, (f) the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Equity Interest or Plan Securities of the Debtor or

49

the Reorganized Debtor, (g) the Confirmation or Consummation of the Plan or the solicitation of votes on the Plan, and/or (h) any other act or omission; provided, that the foregoing “Third-Party Release” shall not operate to waive or release, and the “Third-Party Released Claims” shall not include, any Cause of Action of any Releasing Party: (1) against a Released Party arising from any obligations owed to the Releasing Party that are wholly unrelated to the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor; (2) expressly set forth in and preserved by the Plan or related documents; or (3) arising from an act or omission that is judicially determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal conduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the “Third-Party Release” set forth above does not release any post-Effective Date obligations of any Entity under the Plan or any document, instrument or agreement executed in connection with the Plan.

Each of the Releasing Parties in each of the Releases contained above expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release may not extend to Claims which the Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor, which if known by it may have materially affected its settlement with the party released, they have carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into the above Releases the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Releasing Party expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of providing the release, which if known by it may have materially affected its settlement with the released party. The Releases contained in the Plan are effective regardless of whether those released matters are presently known, unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen.

To the fullest extent provided under section 1141(d)(1)(A) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise expressly provided by the Plan or the Combined Order, effective as of the Effective Date, all consideration distributed under the Plan shall be in exchange for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of, all Claims, Equity Interests and Causes of Action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Debtor or any of its respective assets or properties, including any interest accrued on such Claims or Equity Interests from and after the Petition Date, and regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims, Equity Interests or Causes of Action.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Plan or the Combined Order, upon the Effective Date, the Debtor and its Estate shall be deemed discharged and released under and to the fullest extent provided under sections 524 and 1141(d)(1)(A) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, demands and liabilities that arose before Confirmation, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code. Such discharge shall void any judgment obtained against the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor at any time, to the extent that such judgment relates to a discharged Claim.

50

Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Plan or the Combined Order, upon the Effective Date: (a) the rights afforded herein and the treatment of all Claims and Equity Interests shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of all Claims and Equity Interests of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on such Claims from and after the Petition Date, against the Debtor or any of its respective assets, property, or Estate; (b) all Claims and Equity Interests shall be satisfied, discharged, and released in full, and the Debtor’s liability with respect thereto shall be extinguished completely without further notice or action; and (c) all Entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtor, the Estate, the Reorganized Debtor, each of their respective successors and assigns, and each of their respective assets and properties, any such Claims or Equity Interests, whether based upon any documents, instruments or any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date or otherwise.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and without affecting or limiting the Releases set forth in Article X.B. of the Plan, effective as of the Effective Date, the Exculpated Party shall neither have nor incur any liability to any Person or Entity for any claims, causes of action or for any act taken or omitted to be taken on or after the Petition Date and prior to or on the Effective Date in connection with or arising out of: (a) the administration of the Chapter 11 Case, commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, pursuit of Confirmation and consummation of the Plan, making distributions, the Disclosure Statement, the Restructuring Transactions, the New Warrants Documents, or the solicitation of votes for, or Confirmation of, the Plan; (b) the occurrence of the Effective Date; (c) the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan; (d) the issuance of securities under or in connection with the Plan; (e) the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any asset or security of the Debtor; or (f) the transactions in furtherance of any of the foregoing; provided, that none of the foregoing provisions shall operate to waive or release (x) any Claims or Causes of Action arising out of or related to any act or omission of the Exculpated Party that constitutes intentional fraud, criminal conduct, or willful misconduct, as determined by a Final Order, and (y) the Exculpated Party’s rights and obligations under the Plan, the Restructuring Documents, and the Combined Order, but in all respects such Persons will be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to the Plan. The Exculpated Party has acted in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation of votes on the Plan and, therefore, are not, and will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or distributions made pursuant to the Plan. The Exculpation will be in addition to, and not in limitation of, all other releases, indemnities, exculpations, and any other applicable law or rules protecting such Exculpated Party from liability.

The Combined Order shall permanently enjoin the commencement or prosecution by any Person, whether directly, derivatively, or otherwise, of any Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, losses, or liabilities released pursuant to the Plan, including the Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, and liabilities released or exculpated in the Plan or the Combined Order.

51

No Person or Entity may commence or pursue a Claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, of any kind against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Exculpated Party, or the Released Parties, as applicable, that relates to or is reasonably likely to relate to any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of a Claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, subject to Article X.B, Article X.C, Article X.D, Article X.E, and Article X.F of the Plan, without the Bankruptcy Court first (a) determining, after notice and a hearing, that such Claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, represents a colorable Claim of any kind, and (b) specifically authorizing such Person or Entity to bring such Claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Exculpated Party, or any Released Party, as applicable. At the hearing for the Bankruptcy Court to determine whether such Claim or Cause of Action represents a colorable Claim of any kind, the Bankruptcy Court may, or shall if the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Exculpated Party, any Released Party, or other party in interest requests by motion (oral motion being sufficient), direct that such Person or Entity seeking to commence or pursue such Claim or Cause of Action file a proposed complaint with the Bankruptcy Court embodying such Claim or Cause of Action, such complaint satisfying the applicable Rules of Federal Procedure, including, but not limited to, Rule 8 and Rule 9 (as applicable), which the Bankruptcy Court shall assess before making a determination. For the avoidance of doubt, any party that obtains such determination and authorization and subsequently wishes to amend the authorized complaint or petition to add any claims or causes of action not explicitly included in the authorized complaint or petition must obtain authorization from the Bankruptcy Court before filing any such amendment in the court where such complaint or petition is pending. The Bankruptcy Court reserves jurisdiction to adjudicate any such claims to the maximum extent provided by the law.

Nothing in the Plan, Combined Order, or other related Plan documents shall affect a release of any Claim by the United States Government or any of its agencies or any state and local authority whatsoever, including without limitation any Claim arising under the enforcement, regulatory activities, or police powers of such governmental agencies, nor shall anything in the Plan, Combined Order, or other related Plan documents enjoin the United States or any of its agencies or any state and local authority whatsoever from exercising the enforcement, regulatory activities, or police powers of such governmental agencies, nor shall anything in the Plan, Combined Order, or other related Plan documents exculpate any party or Person in connection with the enforcement, regulatory activities, or police powers of such governmental agencies.

ON the effective date, and effective as of the effective date, THE plan shall bind, AND SHALL BE DEEMED BINDING UPON, the DEBTOR, the Reorganized Debtor, any and all holders of claims AGAINST and Equity Interests IN THE DEBTOR, all PERSONS AND entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, EXCULPATIONS, discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan, each PERSON AND entity acquiring property under THE plan, any and all non-debtor parties to executory contracts and unexpired leases with the Debtor AND the RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS of each of the foregoing, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND NOTWITHSTANDING WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PERSON OR entity (A) SHALL RECEIVE OR RETAIN ANY PROPERTY, OR INTEREST IN PROPERTY, UNDER THE PLAN, (B) HAS FILED A pROOF OF CLAIM OR INTEREST IN THE CHAPTER 11 CASE, OR (C) FAILED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN OR AFFIRMATIVELY VOTED TO REJECT THE PLAN.

52

To the extent provided by section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, all Persons and Entities, including Governmental Units, shall not discriminate against the Reorganized Debtor or deny, revoke, suspend or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant, against the Reorganized Debtor, or another Person or Entity with whom the Reorganized Debtor has been associated, solely because the Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case (or during the Chapter 11 Case but before the Debtor is granted or denied a discharge) or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Case.

In no event shall any Holder of a Claim be entitled to recoup such Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, unless such Holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided Notice thereof in writing to the Debtor on or before Confirmation, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.

Each of the provisions set forth in the Plan with respect to the settlement, release, discharge, exculpation, injunction, indemnification and insurance of, for or with respect to Claims and/or Causes of Action are an integral part of the Plan and essential to its implementation. Accordingly, each Entity that is a beneficiary of such provision shall have the right to independently seek to enforce such provision and such provision may not be amended, modified, or waived after the Effective Date without the prior written consent of such beneficiary.

Pursuant to sections 105(c) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code and notwithstanding the entry of the Combined Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall, on and after the Effective Date, retain exclusive jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Case and all Entities with respect to all matters arising out of or related to the Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor and the Plan as legally permissible, including, without limitation, jurisdiction to:

53

54

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any dispute arising under or in connection with the New Governance Documents shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the applicable document and (b) if the Bankruptcy Court abstains from exercising, or declines to exercise, jurisdiction or is otherwise without jurisdiction over any matter arising in, arising under, or related to the Chapter 11 Case, including the matters set forth in Article XI of the Plan, the provisions of Article XI shall have no effect upon and shall not control, prohibit, or limit the exercise of jurisdiction by any other court having jurisdiction with respect to such matter.

“Substantial Consummation” of the Plan, as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 1101(2), shall be deemed to occur on the Effective Date.

The Reorganized Debtor shall pay the liabilities and charges that they incur on or after the Effective Date for Professionals’ fees, disbursements, expenses, or related support services (including reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by Professionals relating to the preparation of interim

55

and final fee applications and obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval thereof) in the ordinary course of business and without application or notice to, or order of, the Bankruptcy Court, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses, and disbursements of the Distribution Agents and the fees, costs and expenses incurred by Professionals in connection with the implementation, enforcement and Consummation of the Plan and the Restructuring Documents.

In the event that a provision of the Restructuring Documents or the Disclosure Statement (including any and all exhibits and attachments thereto) conflicts with a provision of the Plan or the Combined Order, the provision of the Plan and the Combined Order (as applicable) shall govern and control to the extent of such conflict. In the event that a provision of the Plan conflicts with a provision of the Combined Order, the provision of the Combined Order shall govern and control to the extent of such conflict.

Effective as of the date of the Plan: (a) the Debtor reserves the right, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, to amend or modify the Plan prior to the entry of the Combined Order in accordance with section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (b) after the entry of the Combined Order, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may, upon order of the Bankruptcy Court, amend or modify the Plan in accordance with section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in such manner as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan. A Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan as altered, amended, or modified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, or modification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim or Equity Interest of such Holder.

Entry of the Combined Order shall constitute (a) approval of all modifications to the Plan occurring after the solicitation of votes thereon pursuant to section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (b) a finding that such modifications to the Plan do not require additional disclosure or re-solicitation under Bankruptcy Rule 3019.

The Debtor reserves the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Effective Date and to File subsequent chapter 11 plans. If the Debtor revokes or withdraws the Plan, or if Confirmation or the Effective Date does not occur, then: (a) the Plan will be null and void in all respects; (b) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan, assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effectuated by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant hereto will be null and void in all respects; and (c) nothing contained in the Plan shall (i) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Equity Interests, or Causes of Action by any Entity, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor or any other Entity, or (iii) constitute an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by the Debtor or any other Entity.

56

The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, all present and former Holders of Claims and Equity Interests, other parties-in-interest, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns. The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Person or Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor, or assign of such Person or Entity.

Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless and until the Bankruptcy Court enters the Combined Order and the Consummation occurs. Neither the Filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, nor the taking of any action by the Debtor or any other Entity with respect to the Plan shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of: (a) the Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Equity Interests or any other Entity; or (b) any Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest or other Entity prior to the Effective Date.

The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests receiving distributions hereunder and all other Entities shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan or the Combined Order.

If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Combined Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

57

Any party may change its address for service from time to time by providing a Notice in accordance with the foregoing. Any element of a party’s address that is not specifically changed in a Notice shall be assumed not to be changed. Sending a copy of a Notice to the Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s legal counsel as contemplated above is for information purposes only and does not constitute delivery of the Notice to that party.

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers (whether from the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor or to any other Person) of property under the Plan (including the Restructuring Transactions) or pursuant to: (a) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, equity security, or other interest in the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor;

58

(b) the creation, modification, consolidation, termination, refinancing, and/or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (c) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; or (d) the making, delivery, or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan (including the Restructuring Transactions), shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, sales or use tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment. All appropriate state or local governmental officials, agents, or filing or recording officers (or any other Person with authority over any of the foregoing), wherever located and by whomever appointed, shall comply with the requirements of section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment, and shall accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment.

Except to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or other federal law is applicable, or to the extent that a Restructuring Document or an exhibit or schedule to the Plan provides otherwise, the rights and obligations arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law of such jurisdiction.

The Reorganized Debtor is authorized, on behalf of the Debtor, to request an expedited determination under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code of the tax liability of the Debtor for all taxable periods ending after the Petition Date through and including the Effective Date.

Except as otherwise provided therein, the Plan and the Restructuring Documents supersede all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into the Plan and the Restructuring Documents.

The Reorganized Debtor shall, promptly after the full administration of the Chapter 11 Case, File with the Bankruptcy Court all documents required by Bankruptcy Rule 3022 and any applicable order of the Bankruptcy Court to close the Chapter 11 Case.

After the Effective Date, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, are authorized to limit the list of Entities receiving documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to those Entities who have Filed a renewed request after the Combined Hearing to receive documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002.

59

An act or omission by a Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest in contravention of the provisions of the Plan shall be deemed an event of default under the Plan. Upon an event of default, the Reorganized Debtor may seek to hold the defaulting party in contempt of the Combined Order and may be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of the Reorganized Debtor in remedying such default. Upon the finding of such a default by a Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest, the Bankruptcy Court may: (a) designate a party to appear, sign, and/or accept the documents required under the Plan on behalf of the defaulting party, in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 7070; (b) enforce the Plan by order of specific performance; (c) award judgment against such defaulting Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest in favor of the Reorganized Debtor in an amount, including interest, to compensate the Reorganized Debtor for the damages caused by such default; and (d) make such other order as may be equitable that does not materially alter the terms of the Plan.

The Debtor believes that the Plan meets the feasibility requirements set forth in section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code, as confirmation is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtor or any successor under the Plan. In connection with the planning and development of the Plan, and for the purposes of determining whether such Plan would satisfy this feasibility standard, the Debtor analyzed its ability to satisfy its financial obligations while maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital resources. Management, with the support of its advisors, has prepared financial projections (the “Financial Projections”) for the fiscal years 2025 through 2029. The Financial Projections are attached hereto as Exhibit E and are incorporated by reference herein.

Attached hereto as Exhibit F is a valuation analysis of the Reorganized Debtor (the “Valuation Analysis”), which was performed and prepared by Stout Risius Ross, LLC, and is incorporated by reference herein.

On and after the Effective Date, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, are authorized to and shall provide or issue the Plan Securities (including the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards or the MIP Equity, but excluding the New Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants) and any and all other notes, stock, instruments, certificates, and other documents or agreements required to be distributed, issued, executed or delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Plan, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Entity.

60

The offering, issuance, and distribution of Plan Securities (including the New Common Stock, Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, the MIP Equity, and the issuance of New Common Stock upon exercise of the New Warrants) shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable law requiring registration before the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities pursuant to section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Reorganized Debtor reserves the right to register Plan Securities, including the shares of New Common Stock underlying the New Warrants, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by filing a registration statement on Form S-1 in its discretion if it determines that doing so would be necessary or desirable in connection with the trading of such Plan Securities. The New Warrants will not be exercisable for a period of one (1) year after the Effective Date.

Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code generally exempts from registration under the Securities Act the offer or sale under a chapter 11 plan of a security of the debtor, or an affiliate of the debtor participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a successor to the debtor under a plan, if such securities are offered or sold in exchange for a claim against, or an equity interest in, the debtor or such affiliate, or principally in such exchange and partly for Cash or property. In reliance upon this exemption, the Plan Securities issued in respect of Unsecured Notes Claims and Equity Interests contemplated by the Plan generally will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and state and local securities laws. These securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal or state securities laws, unless the holder is an “affiliate” of the Reorganized Debtor as determined in accordance with applicable U.S. securities law and regulations, or an “underwriter” with respect to such securities, as that term is defined in Section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such resales will be subject to any transfer restrictions in the New Governance Documents as well as the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.

Section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code defines “underwriter” under section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, as an entity that is not an issuer and, except with respect to ordinary trading transactions, if such entity: (a) purchases a claim against a debtor with a view to distribution of any security to be received in exchange for the claim, (b) offers to sell securities issued under a plan for the Holders of such securities, (c) offers to buy securities issued under a plan from persons receiving such securities if the offer to buy is made with a view to distribution and under an agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan, or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan or (d) is an issuer, as used in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, with respect to such securities, which includes control persons of the issuer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, control persons or affiliates who are underwriters may be able to sell securities without registration pursuant to the resale limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act which, in effect, permit the resale of securities received by such persons, subject to applicable volume limitations, notice and manner of sale requirements, and certain other conditions. Parties who believe they may be underwriters as defined in Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code are advised to consult with their own legal advisors as to the availability of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

61

The Plan Securities issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), Regulation D, and/or Regulation S will be “restricted securities” subject to resale restrictions and may be resold, exchanged, assigned or otherwise transferred only pursuant to registration (or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements) under the Securities Act and other applicable law. Such securities will also be subject to any transfer restrictions in the New Governance Documents and the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.

In any case, recipients of the Plan Securities are advised (i) to review the applicable exemptions referenced above, as to which this section is a summary and (ii) to consult with their own legal advisors as to the availability of any such exemption from registration under state law in any given instance and as to any applicable requirements or conditions to such availability.

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the implementation of the Plan to the Debtor and to certain Holders (which, solely for purposes of this discussion, means the beneficial owners for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Claims or Equity Interests. The following summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders of Claims or Equity Interests who are unimpaired, deemed to accept or reject the Plan, or otherwise entitled to payment in full in Cash under the Plan. In addition, this discussion does not address any consideration that is received on account of a person’s capacity other than as a Holder of such Claims or Equity Interests.

The discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences below is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), regulations promulgated by the United States Department of the Treasury under the Tax Code (the “Treasury Regulations”), judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this Disclosure Statement, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the contemplated transactions are complex and subject to significant uncertainties. The Debtor has not requested an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the IRS or any other taxing authority with respect to any of the tax aspects of the contemplated transactions, and the discussion below is not binding upon the IRS or any court. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein.

This summary does not address non-U.S., state, local, gift, or estate tax consequences of the Plan, nor does it purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a Holder in light of its individual circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and any alternative minimum tax, or to a Holder that may be subject to special tax rules (such as persons who are related to the Debtor within the meaning of one of various provisions of the Tax Code; broker-dealers; banks; mutual funds; insurance companies; financial institutions; small business investment companies; real estate investment trusts; regulated investment companies; tax-exempt organizations; trusts; governmental authorities or agencies; dealers and traders in securities; retirement plans; controlled foreign corporations; passive foreign investment companies; individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts; Holders that are, or hold Claims or Equity Interests through, S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes; persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; dealers in foreign currency; Holders who hold Claims or Equity Interests, or who will hold New

62

Common Stock or New Warrants, as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment; Holders using a mark-to-market method of accounting; Holders of Claims or Equity Interests who are themselves in bankruptcy; Holders participating in a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” or holding nonqualified deferred compensation subject to section 409A of the Tax Code; and Holders who are accrual method taxpayers that report income on an “applicable financial statement”). In addition, this discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes.

Furthermore, this discussion assumes that the various debt and other arrangements to which the Debtor is a party will be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with their form and that, except where otherwise indicated, the Claims or Existing Equity Interests are held as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of section 1221 of the Tax Code.

The following summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for careful tax planning and advice based upon a Holder’s individual circumstances. Each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest is urged to consult its tax advisor for the U.S. federal, state and local, non-U.S., and other tax consequences applicable under the Plan.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Debtor is the common parent of an affiliated group of corporations that files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return (the “Vroom Group”). As of December 31, 2023, the Vroom Group had carryforwards of federal consolidated net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $1.5 billion (together with certain other tax attributes, the “Tax Attributes”). The Debtor expects to generate additional amounts of Tax Attributes prior to the Effective Date. The amount of any such Tax Attributes remains subject to further analysis of the Debtor and potential audit and adjustment by the IRS. Certain equity trading and the claiming of certain worthless stock deductions prior to the Effective Date could result in an ownership change of the Debtor independent of the Plan, which could adversely affect the ability to utilize the Vroom Group’s Tax Attributes. In an attempt to minimize the likelihood of such an ownership change occurring, the Debtor intends to obtain at the inception of the Chapter 11 Case an interim order and, subsequently, a final order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing protective procedures with respect to certain equity trading and worthless stock deductions.

As discussed below, in connection with the implementation of the Plan, the Debtor expects that the amount of certain of the Tax Attributes will be reduced. In addition, the subsequent utilization of NOLs and other Tax Attributes remaining following the Effective Date may be limited.

In general, absent an exception, a debtor will realize and recognize cancellation of debt (“COD”) income upon satisfaction of its outstanding indebtedness for total consideration less than the amount of such indebtedness. The amount of COD income, in general, is the excess of (a) the adjusted issue price of the indebtedness satisfied over (b) the sum of (i) the amount of cash paid and (ii) the fair market value of any consideration (including equity of a debtor or a party related

63

to such debtor) given, in each case, in satisfaction, or as part of the discharge, of such indebtedness at the time of the exchange. However, COD income should not arise to the extent that payment of the indebtedness would have given rise to a deduction. The Plan provides that Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims will receive New Common Stock in exchange for their Claims, so the amount of COD income for the Vroom Group will depend in part on the fair market value of the New Common Stock on the Effective Date. Accordingly, the estimated amount of COD income is uncertain at this time.

Under section 108 of the Tax Code, a taxpayer is not required to include COD in gross income (i) if the debtor is under the jurisdiction of a court in a case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the discharge of debt occurs pursuant to that proceeding or (ii) to the extent that the taxpayer is insolvent immediately before the discharge. As a consequence of such an exclusion, a debtor generally must reduce its tax attributes by the amount of COD income that it excluded from gross income. In general, such tax attributes are reduced in the following order: (a) NOLs; (b) general business credit carryovers; (c) minimum tax credit carryovers; (d) capital loss carryovers; (e) tax basis in assets (but not below the amount of liabilities to which the taxpayer remains subject immediately after the cancellation of indebtedness); (f) passive activity loss and credit carryovers; and (g) foreign tax credit carryovers. Alternatively, a taxpayer with excluded COD income may elect first to reduce the basis of its depreciable assets (a “Section 108(b)(5) Election”), in which case the limitation described in (e) does not apply to the reduction in basis of depreciable property and, following such reduction, any remaining COD income that is excluded from gross income reduces any remaining tax attributes in the order specified in the prior sentence. The reduction of the taxpayer’s tax attributes occurs at the end of the taxable year for which the excluded COD income is realized, but only after the taxpayer’s net income or loss for the taxable year of the debt discharge has been determined; in this way, the attribute reduction is generally effective as of the start of the taxable year following the discharge. If the amount of excluded COD income exceeds available tax attributes, the excess generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Where a taxpayer joins in the filing of a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, applicable Treasury Regulations require, in certain circumstances, that certain tax attributes of other members of the group also be reduced.

In connection with the implementation of the Plan, the Debtor expects to realize a substantial amount of excluded COD income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Debtor currently does not intend to make a Section 108(b)(5) Election and expects that the Vroom Group NOLs allocable to the Debtor, and potentially additional Tax Attributes of the Debtor or Tax Attributes of other members of the Vroom Group, will be reduced as a result of the COD attribute reduction arising in connection with the Plan.

Following the Effective Date, any NOLs and certain other Tax Attributes, if any, allocable to tax periods or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Effective Date (collectively, “Pre-Change Losses”) may be subject to certain limitations under section 382 of the Tax Code. Any such limitations apply in addition to, and not in lieu of, the attribute reduction that results from the exclusion of COD income arising in connection with the Plan.

64

If a corporation or consolidated group undergoes an “ownership change” as defined under section 382 of the Tax Code, the amount of its “pre-change losses” that may be utilized to offset future taxable income generally is subject to an annual limitation. In general, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of the value of the loss corporation’s stock owned by one or more direct or indirect “5-percent shareholders” increases by more than fifty percentage points over the lowest percentage of value owned by the 5-percent shareholders at any time during the applicable testing period. The testing period generally is the shorter of (a) the three (3)-year period preceding the testing date and (b) the period of time since the most recent ownership change of the corporation. The Debtor anticipates that the distribution of the New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan will result in an ownership change of the Reorganized Debtor for these purposes, and that the Reorganized Debtor’s use of its Pre-Change Losses will be subject to limitation unless an exception to the general rules of section 382 of the Tax Code applies.

In general, the amount of the annual limitation to which a corporation or consolidated group that undergoes an ownership change would be subject is equal to the product of (a) the fair market value of the stock of the corporation (or parent of the consolidated group) immediately before the ownership change (with certain adjustments) and (b) the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (which is the highest of the adjusted federal long-term rates in effect for any month in the three (3)-calendar-month period ending with the calendar month in which the ownership change occurs, e.g., 3.31% for ownership changes occurring in November 2024). For a corporation or consolidated group in bankruptcy that undergoes an ownership change pursuant to a confirmed bankruptcy plan, unless the special exception described below applies, the annual limitation is generally determined by reference to the fair market value of the stock of the corporation (or the parent of the consolidated group) immediately after (rather than before) the ownership change and after giving effect to the discharge of creditors’ claims, subject to certain adjustments; in no event, however, can the stock value for this purpose exceed the pre-change gross value of the assets of the corporation. Any portion of the annual limitation that is not used in a given year may be carried forward, thereby adding to the annual limitation for the subsequent taxable year.

Under certain circumstances, the annual limitation otherwise computed may be increased if the corporation or consolidated group has an overall built-in gain in its assets at the time of the ownership change. If a loss corporation (as defined in section 382(k)(1) of the Tax Code) or consolidated group has such “net unrealized built-in gain” (“NUBIG”) at the time of an ownership change (taking into account most assets and items of “built-in” income, gain, loss, and deduction), any built-in gains recognized (or, according to a currently effective IRS notice, treated as recognized) during the following sixty (60)-month period (up to the amount of the original NUBIG) generally will increase the annual limitation in the year of such recognition, such that the loss corporation or consolidated group would be permitted to use its pre-change losses against such built-in gain income in addition to its otherwise applicable annual limitation. Alternatively, if a loss corporation or consolidated group has a “net unrealized built-in loss” (“NUBIL”) at the time of an ownership change, then any built-in losses existing at such time that are recognized (including, but not limited to, amortization or depreciation deductions attributable to such built-in losses) during the sixty (60)-month period following the ownership change (up to the amount of the original NUBIL) will be treated as pre-change losses, the deductibility of which will be subject to the annual limitation. In general, the NUBIG or NUBIL will be deemed to be zero unless it is greater than the lesser of (a) $10 million or (b) fifteen percent (15%) of the fair market value of the corporation’s or consolidated group’s assets (with certain adjustments) before the ownership change. It is currently expected that the Vroom Group will have a NUBIL as of the Effective Date.

65

If the corporation or consolidated group does not continue its historic business or use a significant portion of its historic assets in a new business for at least two (2) years after the ownership change, the annual limitation resulting from the ownership change is reduced to zero, thereby precluding any utilization of the corporation’s pre-change losses (subject to potential increase for recognized built-in gains in the manner described above if the corporation is in a NUBIG position at the time of the ownership change).

Currently, the Debtor anticipates that the Vroom Group NOLs allocable to the Debtor, and potentially additional Tax Attributes of the Debtor or Tax Attributes of other members of the Vroom Group, in each case, generated on or prior to the Effective Date, will be reduced as a result of the COD attribute reduction arising in connection with the consummation of the Plan. In addition, section 382 of the Tax Code may restrict the subsequent utilization of the remaining NOLs and other Tax Attributes.

Under section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, an exception to the foregoing annual limitation rules generally applies when, among other requirements, so-called “qualified creditors” and shareholders of a debtor corporation in chapter 11 receive, in respect of their claims or equity interests, respectively, at least fifty percent of the vote and value of the stock of the reorganized debtor (or a controlling corporation if also in chapter 11) pursuant to a confirmed chapter 11 plan (the “382(l)(5) Exception”). The IRS has in private letter rulings applied the 382(l)(5) Exception on a consolidated basis where the parent corporation is in bankruptcy. Generally, qualified creditors are creditors who (a) held their claims continuously for at least eighteen (18) months at the time the bankruptcy petition is filed and continue to hold thereafter, (b) hold claims incurred in the ordinary course of the debtor’s business continuously since they were incurred, or (c) in certain cases, do not become five percent (5%) shareholders of the reorganized corporation.

Under the 382(l)(5) Exception, a debtor’s pre-change losses are not subject to the annual limitation. However, if the 382(l)(5) Exception applies, the amount of the debtor’s pre-change losses is re-determined as if no interest deductions were allowable during the three (3) taxable years preceding the taxable year that includes the effective date of the plan of reorganization, and during the part of the taxable year prior to and including the effective date of the plan of reorganization, in respect of all debt converted into stock in the reorganization. If the 382(l)(5) Exception applies and the Reorganized Debtor thereafter undergoes another ownership change within two (2) years after the Effective Date, the base limitation with respect to such later ownership change would be zero, effectively precluding the utilization of any Pre-Change Losses at the time of such later ownership change against subsequent income of the Reorganized Debtor. Any ownership change after such two (2)-year period would subject the Reorganized Debtor to the general limitations under section 382 of the Tax Code. A debtor that qualifies for the 382(l)(5) Exception may, if it so desires, elect not to have the 382(l)(5) Exception apply and instead remain subject to the annual limitation described above.

66

The Debtor believes that the application of the 382(l)(5) Exception could result in significant future cash tax savings and is seeking to protect the continued existence of its significant Tax Attributes (including NOLs and NUBIL) without annual limitations on their use. However, it is uncertain whether the consummation of the Plan will satisfy all of the requirements of the 382(l)(5) Exception, as such determination will depend on several factors, including the extent to which Holders of the Unsecured Notes Claims immediately prior to consummation of the Plan may be treated as qualified creditors of the Debtor for purposes of section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code and whether the stockholders and qualified creditors of the Debtor will be treated as receiving at least 50% of the stock (by vote and value) of the Debtor as a result of being creditors or shareholders of the Debtor. Furthermore, even if the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, the Debtor may elect not to apply the 382(l)(5) Exception, in which case, the Vroom Group’s Pre-Change Losses remaining after reduction for excluded COD income arising during the recognition period may be subject to an annual limitation pursuant to the rules described above.

Except as otherwise discussed herein, the summary below generally assumes that Holders of the applicable Claims or Equity Interests will, each as a Class, vote to accept the Plan. As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, Existing Equity Awards, New Common Stock, New Warrants, or Post-Effective Date Equity Awards that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, Existing Equity Awards, New Common Stock, New Warrants, or Post-Effective Date Equity Awards that is neither a U.S. Holder nor an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds such Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, Existing Equity Awards, New Common Stock, New Warrants, or Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner-level. Each U.S. Holder that is a partnership or a partner in a partnership holding any of such instruments should consult its tax advisor.

67

Pursuant to the Plan, each Holder of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims will receive in satisfaction of its Claims its Pro Rata share of the New Common Stock, as more fully described in the Plan.

Each U.S. Holder of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims should realize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value of the New Common Stock received in respect of the Claim and (ii) the sum of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Claims exchanged therefor. Whether a U.S. Holder of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims will recognize any such realized gain or loss will depend on whether the receipt of the New Common Stock in exchange for such Claims constitutes a taxable exchange or a tax-deferred (or partially tax-deferred) exchange for such Holder, which will in part depend on whether the Claims surrendered in the exchange constitute “securities” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The term “security” is not defined in the Tax Code or in the Treasury Regulations and has not been clearly defined by judicial decisions. The determination of whether a particular debt obligation constitutes a “security” depends on an overall evaluation of the nature of the debt, including whether the holder of such debt obligation is subject to a material level of entrepreneurial risk and whether a continuing proprietary interest is intended or not. One of the most significant factors considered in determining whether a particular debt obligation is a security is its original term. In general, debt obligations issued with a weighted average maturity at issuance of less than five (5) years do not constitute securities, whereas debt obligations with a weighted average maturity at issuance of ten (10) years or more constitute securities. In addition, an instrument that is convertible into equity of the issuer should be more likely to constitute a “security” than an instrument that is not convertible into equity of the issuer. Accordingly, although not free from doubt, the Debtor currently intends to take the position that the Unsecured Notes (with a term in excess of five (5) years) constitute securities. Each Holder of an Unsecured Notes Claim is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the appropriate status for U.S. federal income tax purposes of such a Claim.

If the exchange of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims constitutes a tax-deferred transaction to a U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder generally would not recognize any gain or loss and would have a tax basis in the New Common Stock received equal to such Holder’s tax basis in the Claims, and the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Common Stock received as part of the tax-deferred exchange generally would include the period the U.S. Holder held its Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims. If the exchange of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims constitutes a taxable transaction to a U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder generally should recognize all realized gain or loss and should have a tax basis in the New Common Stock equal to the fair market value of the New Common Stock on the Effective Date, and the holding period in the New Common Stock should commence on the day following the Effective Date.

68

For a discussion as to the possible recognition of accrued interest income and original issue discount (“OID”) in connection with an exchange of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims and related tax basis and holding period considerations, see “—Distributions with Respect to Accrued But Unpaid Interest or OID” below.

Pursuant to the Plan, each Holder of Allowed Existing Equity Interests will receive (i) its Pro Rata share of the New Common Stock and (ii) its Pro Rata share of the New Warrants, as more fully described in the Plan.

The exchange of Allowed Existing Equity Interests for New Common Stock and New Warrants, which will include an adjustment reducing the number of shares held by each Holder under the New Governance Documents, should be treated as a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In a recapitalization, a U.S. Holder of Allowed Existing Equity Interests generally should not recognize any gain or loss and would have an aggregate tax basis in the New Common Stock and New Warrants equal to such Holder’s tax basis in the Allowed Existing Equity Interests (allocated among the New Common Stock and New Warrants received based on their relative fair market values as of the Effective Date), and the holding period in the New Common Stock and New Warrants generally should include the period the U.S. Holder held its Allowed Existing Equity Interests. Treasury Regulations provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of Existing Equity Interests surrendered pursuant to the Plan to New Common Stock received pursuant to the Plan. U.S. Holders holding Existing Equity Interests that were acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such equity interests.

However, alternative characterizations of the receipt of the New Warrants pursuant to the Plan are possible. For example, the New Warrants could be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as received by a U.S. Holder in a distribution with respect to its Allowed Existing Equity Interests or its New Common Stock (i.e., separately from the exchange of Allowed Existing Equity Interests for New Common Stock, to which exchange the above discussion of a “recapitalization” would still apply). Under such characterization, a U.S. Holder would not recognize any income or gain upon receipt of such New Warrants, would have a tax basis in such New Warrants equal to zero (unless (a) the fair market value of the New Warrants so received is at least equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Existing Equity Interests or the New Common Stock, as the case may be, with respect to which the New Warrants were distributed or (b) the Holder timely elects to allocate tax basis of its Existing Equity Interests or its New Common Stock, as the case may be, among the Existing Equity Interests or the New Common Stock, as applicable, and the New Warrants, in each case, held after such distribution, in which case the tax basis in the Allowed Existing Equity Interests or New Common Stock, as applicable, would be allocated among the Allowed Existing Equity Interests or New Common Stock, as applicable, and the New Warrants in proportion to the fair market values thereof as of the date of the distribution), and the holding period in the New Warrants generally would include the period the U.S. Holder held its Allowed Existing Equity Interests or its New Common Stock, as applicable.

69

U.S. Holders of Existing Equity Interests are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax treatment and the tax consequences to them of the receipt of the New Common Stock and New Warrants pursuant to the Plan.

Pursuant to the Plan, all Allowed Existing Equity Awards will be converted to Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, as more fully described in the Plan.

U.S. Holders of Existing Equity Awards generally should not realize any income, gain or loss in connection with the conversion of the Allowed Existing Equity Awards into the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards. For a discussion as to the tax consequences with respect to the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, see “—U.S. Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, or Existing Equity Awards—Holders of Post-Effective Date Equity Awards” below.

If the Reorganized Debtor makes cash distributions with respect to the New Common Stock, the distributions generally will be includible as ordinary dividend income on the day on which the dividends are actually or constructively received by a U.S. Holder to the extent of the Reorganized Debtor’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent the amount of any such distribution exceeds such current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent, and in reduction, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Common Stock, and as gain from the sale or exchange of such stock to the extent it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis. Non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on dividends. Dividends paid to corporate U.S. Holders that meet certain holding period and other requirements may be eligible for a dividends received deduction.

U.S. Holders generally will recognize gain or loss upon the sale or taxable disposition of the New Common Stock in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Common Stock exchanged and (ii) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition. Any such gain or loss generally should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its New Common Stock exceeds one (1) year at the time of the sale or exchange and, in the case of New Common Stock issued to a U.S. Holder pursuant to an Option that qualifies as an ISO (each as defined below), such Holder disposes of such New Common Stock more than two (2) years after the grant of the Option. A reduced tax rate on long-term capital gain may apply to non-corporate U.S. Holders. In the event a U.S. Holder that received New Common Stock pursuant to an Option that qualifies as an ISO disposes of such New Common Stock within one (1) year of receiving such New Common Stock or two (2) years of being granted such Option, the difference, if any, between the exercise price of the Option and the fair market value of the New Common Stock on the date of exercise generally will be taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

70

In general, any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder upon a disposition of the New Common Stock received in exchange for an Unsecured Notes Claim will be treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of (i) any ordinary loss deductions previously claimed as a result of the write-down of the Claim, decreased by any income (other than interest income) recognized by the U.S. Holder upon exchange of the Claim, and (ii) with respect to a cash-basis Holder and in addition to clause (i) above, any amounts which would have been included in its gross income if the U.S. Holder’s Claim had been satisfied in full but which was not included by reason of the cash method of accounting.

A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss when the New Warrants are exercised for cash to acquire the underlying New Common Stock, and the U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the New Common Stock acquired generally will be equal to the U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the exercised New Warrants increased by the exercise price. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Common Stock received upon exercise of a New Warrant will commence on the day of exercise of such New Warrant or the day following the exercise of such New Warrant. Upon the lapse of a New Warrant, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize loss equal to its tax basis in the New Warrant.

Unless a nonrecognition provision applies, U.S. Holders generally will recognize gain or loss upon the sale or exchange of the New Warrants in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Warrants exchanged and (ii) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition. Any such gain or loss generally should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its New Warrants exceeds one year at the time of the sale or exchange. A reduced tax rate on long-term capital gain may apply to non-corporate U.S. Holders. The deductibility of capital loss is subject to limitations.

The exercise price of the New Warrants is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 305 of the Tax Code would treat a U.S. Holder of the New Warrants as having received a constructive distribution includible in such U.S. Holder’s income if and to the extent that certain adjustments to the exercise price increase the proportionate interest of a U.S. Holder in the Reorganized Debtor’s assets or earnings and profits. For example, a reduction in the exercise price to reflect a taxable dividend to Holders of the Reorganized Debtor’s equity generally will give rise to a deemed taxable dividend to the Holders of the New Warrants to the extent of the Reorganized Debtor’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Thus, under certain circumstances, U.S. Holders may recognize income in the event of a constructive distribution even though they may not receive any cash or property. Adjustments to the exercise price made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula that has the effect of preventing dilution in the interest of the U.S. Holders of the New Warrants, however, generally will not be considered to result in a constructive dividend distribution.

The Post-Effective Date Equity Awards are comprised of options (“Options”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) representing rights to purchase or receive New Common Stock upon the satisfaction of their respective terms and conditions. The U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to the Options depend in part upon whether the particular Option qualifies for U.S.

71

federal income tax purposes as an “incentive stock option” (“ISO”) or does not so qualify and is instead treated as a “nonqualified stock option” (“NSO”). Upon the exercise of an Option that constitutes an NSO, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value of the New Common Stock received (as of the date of such exercise) and (ii) the exercise price. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Common Stock received should be equal to the fair market value of the New Common Stock received on the date of exercise, and the holding period in the New Common Stock received should commence on the date of the exercise. Upon the exercise of an Option that qualifies as an ISO, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize any income, gain or loss. Gain realized by a Holder on the sale of shares underlying an ISO is taxable at capital gains rates, unless the Holder disposes of the shares within (a) two years after the date of grant of the Option or (b) one year after the date the shares were transferred to the Holder. If such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of either the one (1)-year or two (2)-year period specified above, the difference between the Option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of the Option’s exercise (or the date of sale, if less) will be taxed at ordinary income rates. An Option that qualifies as an ISO that is exercised more than three (3) months after the U.S. Holder terminates employment, other than by reason of death or disability, will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an NSO, and such U.S. Holder will be deemed to have received ordinary income upon the exercise of the Option.

Upon the issuance of New Common Stock pursuant to the vesting and settlement of an RSU, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the sum of the fair market value of the New Common Stock issued, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Common Stock received should be equal to the ordinary income recognized upon the issuance of such New Common Stock, and the holding period in the New Common Stock received should commence on the date of the issuance.

For a discussion as to the tax consequences of holding and dispositions of New Common Stock, see “—U.S. Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, or Existing Equity Awards—Ownership and Disposition of New Common Stock” above. U.S. Holders of Post-Effective Date Equity Awards are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax considerations of the participation in the applicable Post-Closing Equity Awards in their particular circumstances.

Where gain or loss is recognized by a U.S. Holder in an exchange of Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests pursuant to the Plan, the character of such gain or loss as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss or as ordinary income or loss will be determined by a number of factors, including the tax status of such U.S. Holder, whether the Claims or Equity Interests constitute capital assets in the hands of such U.S. Holder and how long they have been held, whether the Claims were acquired at a market discount, and whether and to what extent the Holder previously claimed a worthlessness deduction with respect to the Claims. In general, any gain or loss generally should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the Claims or Equity Interests, as applicable, as capital assets and such U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Claims or Equity Interests is more than one (1) year at the time of the relevant exchange. A reduced tax rate on long-term capital gain may apply to non-corporate U.S. Holders. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

72

A U.S. Holder that purchased its Claims from a prior holder at a “market discount” (relative to the principal amount of the Claims at the time of acquisition) may be subject to the market discount rules of the Tax Code. In general, a debt instrument is considered to have been acquired with market discount if the Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the debt instrument is less than (i) its “stated redemption price at maturity” (which generally would be equal to the stated principal amount if all stated interest was required to be paid in cash or property at least annually) or (ii) in the case of a debt instrument issued with OID, its adjusted issue price, in each case, by more than a de minimis amount. Under these rules, any gain recognized on the exchange of Claims (which, as discussed below, does not include amounts received in respect of accrued but unpaid interest or OID, if any) generally will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount accrued (on a straight line basis or, at the election of the U.S. Holder, on a constant yield basis) during the U.S. Holder’s period of ownership, unless such U.S. Holder elected to include the market discount in income as it accrued. If a U.S. Holder of Claims did not elect to include market discount in income as it accrued and, thus, under the market discount rules, was required to defer all or a portion of any deductions for interest on debt incurred or maintained to purchase or carry its Claims, such deferred amounts generally should become deductible at the time of the exchange in which gain is recognized. To the extent that Claims acquired with a market discount are exchanged in a tax-deferred transaction for other property, any market discount that accrued on such Claims but was not recognized by the U.S. Holder generally is carried over to the property received therefor, and any gain recognized on the subsequent sale or other disposition of the property generally should be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued, but not recognized, market discount with respect to such Claims. U.S. Holders who acquired their Claims other than at original issuance should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the market discount rules.

In general, to the extent that any consideration received pursuant to the Plan by a U.S. Holder of Allowed Claims is received in satisfaction of interest accrued or OID accrued, in each case during such U.S. Holder’s holding period, such amount will be taxable to the U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income (if not previously included in the U.S. Holder’s gross income under such U.S. Holder’s normal method of accounting). Conversely, a U.S. Holder may be entitled to recognize a loss to the extent any accrued interest or amortized OID was previously included in its gross income and is not paid in full. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder would be required to recognize a capital loss, rather than an ordinary loss, with respect to previously included OID that is not paid in full. In addition, tax basis in the consideration received by a U.S. Holder pursuant to the Plan in satisfaction of interest accrued or OID accrued generally will be equal to the fair market value of such consideration, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such consideration should commence on the day following the Effective Date.

Article VII., clause H. of the Plan provides that distributions to U.S. Holders with respect to any Allowed Claim will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims, with any excess allocated to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim. There is no assurance that the IRS will respect such allocation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

73

Holders of Claims should consult their tax advisors regarding the proper allocation of the consideration received by them under the Plan, as well as the character of any loss claimed with respect to accrued but unpaid interest (including OID) previously included in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The following discussion includes only certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to Non-U.S. Holders. The discussion does not include any non-U.S. tax considerations. The rules governing the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders are complex. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the consummation of the Plan to such Non-U.S. Holders and the ownership and disposition of any consideration received pursuant to or in connection with the Plan.

Whether a Non-U.S. Holder of Unsecured Notes Claims or Existing Equity Interests recognizes gain or loss on the exchange of Claims or Equity Interests pursuant to the Plan or upon a subsequent disposition of the consideration received under the Plan, as well as the amount of such gain or loss, is determined in the same manner as set forth above in connection with U.S. Holders of the applicable Claims. See “—U.S. Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims—Recognition of Gain or Loss” and “—U.S. Holders of Existing Equity Interests—Recognition of Gain or Loss” above. Any gain recognized (which, as discussed above, does not include amounts received in respect of accrued but unpaid interest or OID, if any) by a Non-U.S. Holder on the exchange of its Claim or Existing Equity Interest generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless (i) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for one hundred and eighty-three (183) days or more during the taxable year in which the gain is realized and certain other conditions are met, (ii) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, such gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), or (iii) solely with respect to the sale, exchange or other disposition of the New Common Stock (or, under certain circumstances, the New Warrants), such New Common Stock (or, if applicable, New Warrants) constitutes a U.S. real property interest (“USRPI”) by reason of the Reorganized Debtor’s status as a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five (5)-year period preceding such disposition or the period in which the Non-U.S. Holder held the New Common Stock (or, if applicable, New Warrants).

If the exception in clause (i) above applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of thirty percent (30%) (or such lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount by which such Non-U.S. Holder’s capital gains allocable to U.S. sources exceed capital losses allocable to U.S. sources during the taxable year. If the exception in clause (ii) above applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the

74

same manner as a U.S. Holder with respect to such gain. In addition, if such a Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to thirty percent (30%) (or such lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

If the exception in clause (iii) above applied and certain other requirements were met, a Non-U.S. Holder generally would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized on the sale or disposition of all or a portion of its New Common Stock (or, if applicable, New Warrants). The Debtor does not believe that it is or has been a USRPHC and it does not anticipate becoming a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor is a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of its USRPIs relative to the fair market value of its real property interests outside the United States and its other business assets, there can be no assurance the Debtor currently is not a USRPHC or that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor will not become one in the future. Even if the Debtor is or the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of New Common Stock (or, if applicable, New Warrants) by a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if the New Common Stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, five percent (5%) or less of the New Common Stock (or, in the case of New Warrants, if applicable, New Warrants of fair market value as of the date of their acquisition equal to the fair market value of five percent (5%) or less of the New Common Stock) throughout the shorter of the five (5)-year period ending on the date of the taxable disposition and the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.

Distributions on New Common Stock will generally constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the Reorganized Debtor’s current year earnings and profits and earnings and profits accumulated as of the end of the prior year, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent the amount of any such distribution exceeds such current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent, and in reduction, of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the equity and as gain from the sale or exchange of such equity to the extent such excess exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis. Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of New Common Stock will generally be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a thirty percent (30%) rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) are not subject to withholding, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a thirty percent (30%) rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

75

A Non-U.S. Holder of New Common Stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends, will be required (a) to complete the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) and certify under penalty of perjury that such Holder is not a United States person and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if such equity is held through certain intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable Treasury Regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders that are passthrough entities rather than corporations or individuals. A Non-U.S. Holder of New Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

For a discussion of the rules applicable to the recognition of gain or loss in connection with sales, exchanges or other dispositions of New Common Stock by Non-U.S. Holders, see “—Non-U.S. Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, or Existing Equity Awards—Recognition of Gain or Loss” above.

Whether a Non-U.S. Holder recognizes gain or loss on the exercise, lapse, sale, exchange or other disposition of, or otherwise incurs income in connection with the adjustment of the exercise price of, New Warrants, and the amount of any such gain, loss or income, is determined in the same manner as set forth above in connection with U.S. Holders. See “—U.S. Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, or Existing Equity Awards—Exercise and Disposition of New Warrants” above. For a discussion of the rules applicable to the recognition of any such gain, loss or income, see “—Non-U.S. Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, or Existing Equity Awards—Recognition of Gain or Loss” above.

Whether a Non-U.S. Holder recognizes ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with the exercise of an Option or the issuance of New Common Stock pursuant to the vesting and settlement of an RSU is determined in the same manner as set forth above in connection with U.S. Holders. See “—U.S. Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, or Existing Equity Awards—Holders of Post-Effective Date Equity Awards” above. Any such ordinary income generally will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation to the extent (a) such income is effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, such income is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) or (b) such income constitutes gross income from sources within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, such income may be taxed in the United States). The source of income arising in connection with the performance of services partly within the United States and partly outside the United States generally depends on the facts and circumstances analysis of the particular case, which in the case of Options may take into account the portion of the period between the grant of the Option and the vesting of the Option during which the Non-U.S. Holder performed services within the United States.

76

The determination of whether a Non-U.S. Holder is treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States, whether income is effectively connected with such trade or business, or whether income constitutes gross income from sources within the United States is complex, and Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding such determinations, as well as the tax consequences of the exercise of an Option or the receipt of New Common Stock in connection with the vesting and settlement of an RSU in their particular circumstances.

All distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests under the Plan are subject to any applicable tax withholding and information reporting requirements. Under U.S. federal income tax law, interest, dividends and other reportable payments may, under certain circumstances, be subject to “backup withholding” (currently at a rate of twenty-four percent (24%)) if a recipient of those payments fails to furnish to the payor certain identifying information, fails properly to report interest or dividends, or, under certain circumstances, fails to provide a certification that the recipient is not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts deducted and withheld generally should be allowed as a credit against that recipient’s U.S. federal income tax, provided that appropriate proof is timely provided under rules established by the IRS. Furthermore, certain penalties may be imposed by the IRS on a recipient of payments who is required to supply information but who does not do so in the proper manner. Backup withholding generally should not apply with respect to payments made to certain exempt recipients, such as certain corporations and financial institutions. Information may also be required to be provided to the IRS concerning payments, unless an exemption applies. Holders of Claims or Equity Interests are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and information reporting and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

Treasury Regulations generally require disclosure by a taxpayer on its U.S. federal income tax return of certain types of transactions in which the taxpayer participated, including, among other types of transactions, certain transactions that result in the taxpayer’s claiming a loss in excess of certain thresholds. Holders of Claims or Equity Interests are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding these regulations and whether the contemplated transactions under the Plan would be subject to these regulations and require disclosure on their tax returns.

Withholding taxes may be imposed under sections 1471 to 1474 of the Tax Code (such sections, commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a thirty percent (30%) withholding tax may be imposed on dividends or interest or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock or debt instruments, in each case paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Tax Code), unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (ii) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Tax Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an

77

exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (i) above, it must enter into an agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Tax Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold thirty percent (30%) on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends or interest. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such instruments on or after January 1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA.

The foregoing summary has been provided for informational purposes only and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest. All Holders of Claims or Equity Interests are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state and local, non-U.S., and other tax consequences applicable under the Plan.

Prior to voting to accept or reject the Plan, Holders of Claims or Equity Interests should read and carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, in addition to the information set forth in this Disclosure Statement and in any attachments, exhibits, and documents incorporated by reference thereto. The factors below should not be regarded as the only risks associated with the Plan or its implementation.

Although the Plan is designed to minimize the length of the Chapter 11 Case, it is impossible to predict with certainty the amount of time that the Debtor may spend in bankruptcy or to assure parties in interest that the Plan will be confirmed. Even if the Plan is confirmed on a timely basis, bankruptcy proceedings to confirm the Plan could have an adverse effect on the Debtor’s business. Among other things, it is possible that bankruptcy proceedings could adversely affect the Debtor’s relationships with its key customers and employees or those of the Non-Debtor Affiliates, which in turn could affect the Debtor’s business. The bankruptcy proceedings will also involve additional expense and may distract the Debtor’s management from business operations.

78

As a consequence of the Debtor’s filing for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor’s operations, its ability to develop and execute its business plan, and its continuation as a going concern will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. These risks include the following:

Delays in the Chapter 11 Case would increase the risk of the Debtor being unable to reorganize its business and emerge from bankruptcy and might increase the costs associated with the bankruptcy process.

These risks and uncertainties could affect the Debtor’s business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events associated with the Chapter 11 Case could adversely affect both its and the Non-Debtor Affiliates’ relationships with third parties, including service providers, vendors, and customers, which in turn could adversely affect the Debtor’s business and financial condition. In addition, the Debtor needs the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit the Debtor’s ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact of events that occur during its Chapter 11 Case that may be inconsistent with its plans.

79

Although the Debtor believes that the Plan will satisfy all requirements necessary for confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion or that modifications to the Plan will not be required for confirmation, or that such modifications would not necessitate re-solicitation of votes. Moreover, the Debtor can make no assurances that it will receive the requisite acceptances to confirm the Plan, and even if all Voting Classes voted in favor of the Plan or the requirements for “cramdown” are met with respect to any Class that rejected the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court could decline to confirm the Plan if it finds that any of the statutory requirements for confirmation are not met. If the Bankruptcy Court does not confirm the Plan, it is unclear what distributions Holders of Claims ultimately would receive with respect to their Claims in a subsequent plan of reorganization or liquidation.

Although the parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement have agreed to support the Plan, in the event that the Debtor is nevertheless unable to obtain sufficient votes from the Classes entitled to vote, the Debtor reserves the right to seek to accomplish an alternative chapter 11 plan or seek to “cram down” (i.e., achieve non-consensual confirmation of) the Plan on non-accepting Classes. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such alternative chapter 11 plan would be similar or as favorable to Holders of Allowed Claims as those proposed in the Plan.

The Bankruptcy Code provides that a debtor may solicit votes prior to the commencement of a chapter 11 case if solicitation is conducted in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation or, if there is no such non-bankruptcy law, after disclosure of “adequate information,” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Code provides that a holder of a claim will not be deemed to have accepted or rejected the plan before commencement of a chapter 11 case if the Bankruptcy Court finds that the Plan was not transmitted to substantially all creditors and other equity interest holders of that same class entitled to vote or that an unreasonably short time was prescribed for voting.

If the Bankruptcy Court concludes that the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code have not been met, then the Bankruptcy Court could deem votes solicited prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case invalid. If the Bankruptcy Court so concludes, the Plan could not be confirmed without a re-solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan. While the Debtor believes that the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code will be met, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion.

If a re-solicitation of the Plan is required, there can be no assurance that such re-solicitation would be successful. In addition, re-solicitation could delay confirmation of the Plan and result in termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement. Non-confirmation of the Plan and loss of the benefits under the Restructuring Support Agreement could result in a lengthy bankruptcy proceeding, the outcome of which would be uncertain.

80

If any impaired class of claims or equity interests does not accept or is deemed not to accept a plan of reorganization, a bankruptcy court may nevertheless confirm such plan at the proponent’s request if at least one (1) impaired class has accepted the plan (with such acceptance being determined without including the vote of any “insider” in such class) and, as to each impaired class that has not accepted the plan, the bankruptcy court determines that the plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to the dissenting impaired classes. Should any Class vote to reject the Plan, then these requirements must be satisfied with respect to such rejecting Class(es). The Debtor believes that the Plan would satisfy these requirements, but there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion.

Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan may place a claim or an equity interest in a particular class only if such claim or equity interest is substantially similar to the other claims or equity interests in such class. The Debtor believes that the classification of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan complies with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. However, there can be no assurance that a party in interest will not object or that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the classifications.

There is a risk that certain parties could oppose and object to either the entirety of the Plan or specific provisions of the Plan. Although the Debtor believes that the Plan complies with all relevant Bankruptcy Code provisions, there can be no guarantee that a party in interest will not file an objection to the Plan or that the Bankruptcy Court will not sustain such an objection.

Article X of the Plan provides for certain releases, injunctions, and exculpations for claims and causes of action that may otherwise be asserted against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties, as applicable. The releases, injunctions, and exculpations provided in the Plan are subject to objection by parties in interest and may not be approved. If the releases and exculpations are not approved, certain parties may not be considered Releasing Parties, Released Parties, or Exculpated Parties, and certain Released Parties or Exculpated Parties may withdraw their support for the Plan.

Although the Debtor believes that the Effective Date will occur on the timeline contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, there can be no assurance as to the timing of the Effective Date. If the conditions precedent to the Effective Date set forth in the Plan have not occurred or have not been waived as set forth in Article IX.B of the Plan, then the Combined Order may be vacated, in which event no distributions would be made under the Plan, the Debtor and all Holders of Claims or Equity Interests would be restored to the status quo as of the day immediately preceding the Confirmation Date, and the Debtor’s obligations with respect to Claims and Equity Interests would remain unchanged.

81

The Restructuring Support Agreement contains certain provisions that give the Required Noteholders the right to terminate the Restructuring Support Agreement under certain conditions. Termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement could result in the loss of support for the Plan by important creditor constituencies and could result in protracted chapter 11 proceedings, which could significantly and detrimentally impact the Debtor’s relationships with vendors, suppliers, employees, and major customers. If the Restructuring Support Agreement is terminated, the Debtor’s ability to confirm and consummate the Plan could be materially and adversely affected.

The distributions available to Holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan can be affected by a variety of contingencies, including, without limitation, whether the Bankruptcy Court orders certain Allowed Claims to be subordinated to other Allowed Claims. The occurrence of any and all such contingencies, which could affect distributions available to Holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan, will not affect the validity of the vote taken by the Impaired Classes to accept or reject the Plan or require any sort of revote by the Voting Classes.

The estimated Claims and recoveries set forth in this Disclosure Statement are based on various assumptions, and the actual Allowed amounts of Claims may significantly differ from the estimates. Should one or more of the underlying assumptions ultimately prove to be incorrect, the actual Allowed amounts of Claims may vary from the estimated amounts contained in this Disclosure Statement. Moreover, the Debtor cannot determine with any certainty at this time the number or amount of Claims that will ultimately be Allowed. Such differences may materially and adversely affect, among other things, the percentage recoveries to Holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan.

Although the Plan is designed to minimize the length of the Chapter 11 Case, it is impossible to predict with certainty the amount of time that the Debtor will spend in bankruptcy or to assure parties in interest that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan. The requirements of the Chapter 11 Case have consumed and will continue to consume a substantial portion of the Debtor’s management’s time and attention and leave them with less time to devote to the operations of its business. This diversion of management’s attention may have a material adverse effect on the conduct of the Debtor’s business and, as a result, on its financial condition, particularly if the Chapter 11 Case is protracted. If the Chapter 11 Case were to cause attrition among the Debtor’s management, the loss of services of any such members of the Debtor’s management team could impair the Debtor’s ability to execute its strategy and implement operational initiatives, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the Debtor’s financial condition and liquidity.

82

If no plan of reorganization can be confirmed, or if the Bankruptcy Court otherwise finds that it would be in the best interests of Holders of Claims and Equity Interests, the Chapter 11 Case may be converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which a trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate the Debtor’s assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidation Analysis attached hereto as Exhibit D contains a discussion of the anticipated effects that a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the recoveries of Holders of Claims and Equity Interests.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Debtor reserves the right to object to the amount or classification of any Claim or Equity Interest under the Plan. The estimates set forth in this Disclosure Statement cannot be relied upon by any Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest where such Claim or Equity Interest is subject to an objection. Any Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest that is subject to an objection thus may not receive their expected share of the estimated distributions described in this Disclosure Statement.

The Debtor reserves the right, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Restructuring Support Agreement, and consistent with the terms of the Plan, to amend the terms of the Plan or waive any conditions thereto if and to the extent such amendments or waivers are consistent with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement and necessary or desirable to consummate the Plan. The potential impact of any such amendment or waiver on the Holders of Claims and Equity Interests cannot presently be foreseen but may include a change in the economic impact of the Plan on some or all of the proposed Classes or a change in the relative rights of such Classes. All Holders of Claims and Equity Interests will receive notice of such amendments or waivers required by applicable Law and the Bankruptcy Court. If, after receiving sufficient acceptances, but prior to Confirmation of the Plan, the Debtor seeks to modify the Plan, the previously solicited acceptances will be valid only if: (a) all Classes of adversely affected Holders of Claims and Equity Interests accept the modification in writing; or (b) the Bankruptcy Court determines, after notice to designated parties, that such modification was de minimis or purely technical or otherwise did not adversely change the treatment of Holders of accepting Claims and Equity Interests, or is otherwise permitted by the Bankruptcy Code.

83

Under the Plan, each Holder of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims will receive its Pro Rata share of the New Common Stock, as more fully described in the Plan. As a result, the consummation of the Plan is expected to result in an “ownership change” of the Debtor and all other members of the Vroom Group. The Debtor believes that the application of the 382(l)(5) Exception could result in significant future cash tax savings and may seek to qualify for such an exception to protect the continued existence of the Pre-Change Losses (each as defined below) without annual limitations on their use. See Article X hereof under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan—Consequences to Debtor” for a discussion on section 382 of the Tax Code (as defined below) and the 382(l)(5) Exception.

Transfers of Unsecured Notes Claims by certain Holders during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case could result in the Restructuring not meeting the requirements of the 382(l)(5) Exception. In such an event, the Pre-Change Losses of the Vroom Group remaining after the COD attribute reduction (discussed below) arising in connection with the consummation of the Plan could be subject to material restrictions on their use after the Effective Date. The rules relating to the use of pre-bankruptcy tax attributes by a corporation emerging from a bankruptcy are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, there cannot be any assurance that the Debtor will be entitled to use such attributes following its emergence from the bankruptcy.

There can be no assurance that the estimated Allowed amount of Claims in certain Classes will not be significantly more than projected, which, in turn, could cause recoveries on a per-creditor basis to be reduced substantially. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may affect the ultimate amounts of such Claims. Therefore, the actual amount of Allowed Claims may vary from the Debtor’s projections and feasibility analysis, and the variation may be material.

There can be no assurance that the payment obligations of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor arising or otherwise resulting from the assumption of executory contracts or unexpired leases will not be significantly more than projected, which, in turn, could cause recoveries on a per-creditor basis to be reduced substantially. Such payment obligations could be significant and material and, if the Debtor is unsuccessful in challenging such amounts, confirmation or the effectiveness of the Plan may be jeopardized.

This Disclosure Statement contains various projections concerning the financial results of the Reorganized Debtor’s operations, including the Financial Projections, that are, by their nature, forward-looking, and which projections are necessarily based on certain assumptions and estimates. Should any or all of these assumptions or estimates ultimately prove to be incorrect, the actual future results of the Reorganized Debtor may turn out to be different from the Financial Projections, and such differences may be material.

84

Specifically, the Financial Projections reflect numerous assumptions concerning the anticipated future performance of the Reorganized Debtor, some of which may not materialize, including, without limitation, assumptions concerning: (a) the timing of Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan in accordance with its terms; (b) the anticipated future performance of the Reorganized Debtor, including its ability to maintain or increase revenue and gross margins, control future operating expenses, or make necessary capital expenditures; (c) general business and economic conditions; (d) overall industry performance and trends; (e) the Debtor’s and the Reorganized Debtor’s ability to maintain market strength and retain client relationships; and (f) future regulatory developments.

DUE TO THE INHERENT UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH PROJECTING FINANCIAL RESULTS GENERALLY, THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED ASSURANCES OR GUARANTEES OF THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR THE AMOUNT OF CLAIMS THAT MAY BE ALLOWED IN THE VARIOUS CLASSES. WHILE THE DEBTOR BELIEVES THAT SUCH FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE REASONABLE, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL BE REALIZED.

There is currently no public market for the New Common Stock. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor intend to list the New Common Stock on Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange or a comparable nationally recognized securities exchange following the Effective Date. In such event, the Debtor makes no assurance that it will be able to obtain a listing or, even if the Debtor is able to do so, that liquid trading markets for shares of New Common Stock will develop. The liquidity of any market for shares of New Common Stock will depend upon, among other things, the number of holders of shares of New Common Stock, the Reorganized Debtor’s financial performance, and the market for similar securities, none of which can be determined or predicted. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that active trading markets for New Common Stock will develop, nor can any assurance be given as to the liquidity or prices at which such securities might be traded. In the event active trading markets do not develop or are not maintained, holders of the New Common Stock may experience substantial difficulty in transferring or reselling such securities or may be unable to transfer or sell them at all. Even if such a market were to exist, such securities could trade at prices higher or lower than the estimated value set forth in this Disclosure Statement depending upon many factors, including prevailing interest rates, markets for similar securities, industry conditions, and the performance of, and investor expectations for, the Reorganized Debtor. Accordingly, holders of the New Common Stock may bear certain risks associated with holding securities for an indefinite period of time.

If the New Common Stock is delisted in the future based on a continued listing requirement, it is unlikely that the Reorganized Debtor will be able to list New Common Stock on another national securities exchange and, as a result, securities may be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, the Reorganized Debtor and holders of New Common Stock could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations and analyst coverage for New Common Stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of such stock.

85

Delisting also could result in, among other things, a loss of investor confidence or interest in strategic transactions or opportunities, the Reorganized Debtor being subject to regulation in each state in which the Reorganized Debtor offers securities, and difficulty in recruiting and retaining personnel through equity incentive awards.

The ownership percentage represented by the New Common Stock distributed on the Effective Date under the Plan will be subject to dilution from any other equity that may be issued post-emergence, including in connection with the MIP or in settlement of Post-Effective Date Equity Awards, the New Warrants, and the exercise or conversion of any other options, warrants, convertible securities, exercisable securities, or other securities that may be issued post-emergence.

Any future equity financings or other equity issuances by the Reorganized Debtor could adversely affect the value of the New Common Stock. The amount and dilutive effect of any of the foregoing could be material.

Certain Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims are expected to acquire a significant ownership interest in the New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan. Such Holders may be in a position to control the outcome of all actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, without the approval of other stockholders. This concentration of ownership could also facilitate or hinder a negotiated change of control of the Reorganized Debtor and, consequently, have an impact upon the value of the New Common Stock. The significant ownership stake may allow these Holders to appoint a majority of the board of directors, potentially influencing the Company’s management and strategic direction. This could lead to changes in corporate governance practices, business strategies, and capital allocation policies that align with the interests of the major shareholders. The concentrated ownership might also affect the liquidity of the New Common Stock in the market, potentially impacting its trading price and volatility. The interests of these significant Holders may not always align with those of other shareholders or the Reorganized Debtor, potentially leading to conflicts in decision-making. Lastly, this ownership structure could either attract potential acquirers due to the ease of negotiating with a small group of major shareholders or deter them if the Holders are not interested in selling their stakes. Notably, a single party alone would likely hold sufficient voting power to control stockholder approval on most matters, potentially marginalizing minority shareholders.

In any subsequent liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Reorganized Debtor, the New Common Stock would rank below all debt claims against the Reorganized Debtor. As a result, holders of the New Common Stock would not be entitled to receive any payment or other distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Reorganized Debtor until after all applicable holders of debt have been paid in full.

86

The Debtor’s estimated recoveries set forth in this Disclosure Statement are not intended to represent the market value of the Debtor’s securities. The estimated recoveries are based on numerous assumptions (the realization of many of which will be beyond the control of the Debtor), including, among others: (a) the successful reorganization of the Debtor; (b) an assumed date for the occurrence of the Effective Date; (c) the Debtor’s ability to achieve the operating and financial results included in the Financial Projections; (d) the Debtor’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity to fund operations; and (e) the assumption that capital and equity markets remain consistent with current conditions.

The Reorganized Debtor might not pay any dividends on the New Common Stock. In such circumstances, the success of an investment in the New Common Stock will depend entirely upon any future appreciation in the value of the New Common Stock. There is, however, no guarantee that the New Common Stock will appreciate in value or even maintain its initial value.

The Debtor’s capital structure will be significantly altered under the Plan. Under fresh-start reporting rules that may apply to the Debtor upon the Effective Date of the Plan (or any alternative plan of reorganization), the Debtor’s assets and liabilities will be adjusted to fair values and its accumulated deficit will be restated to zero. Accordingly, fresh-start reporting rules apply, and the Debtor’s financial condition and results of operations following its emergence from chapter 11 may not be comparable to the financial condition and results of operations reflected in its historical financial statements. Furthermore, the Plan (or any alternative plan of reorganization) could materially change the amounts and classifications reported in the Debtor’s consolidated historical financial statements, which do not give effect to any adjustments to the carrying value of assets or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of confirmation of a plan of reorganization.

Although the Financial Projections represent management’s view based on current known facts and assumptions about the future operations of the Reorganized Debtor, there is no guarantee that the Financial Projections will be realized. The Reorganized Debtor may not be able to meet its projected financial results or achieve projected revenues and Cash flows assumed in projecting future business prospects. To the extent the Reorganized Debtor does not meet its projected financial results or achieve projected revenues and Cash flows, the Reorganized Debtor may lack sufficient liquidity to meet its operational needs and continue operating as planned after the Effective Date.

87

Indebtedness of the Non-Debtor Affiliates could have significant negative consequences for the Debtor’s results of operations and financial condition to the extent such indebtedness:

Further, a failure of the Reorganized Debtor to meet its projected financial results or achieve projected revenues and Cash flows could lead to Cash flow and working capital constraints, which constraints may require the Reorganized Debtor to seek additional working capital. The Reorganized Debtor may not be able to obtain such working capital when it is required.

The current macroeconomic environment, characterized by sustained inflation and increased interest rates, poses significant risks to the Debtor’s businesses. Higher automotive finance rates and borrowing costs may reduce consumer access to and willingness to undertake vehicle financing, directly impacting UACC’s operations and potentially affecting demand for CarStory’s services. Although the Federal Reserve has indicated potential interest rate cuts in the future, uncertainty remains regarding the timing and impact of such changes. In addition, geopolitical conflicts and economic disruptions could further affect consumer spending and inflationary costs, potentially having a material adverse effect on their business throughout 2024. The Debtor is actively monitoring these developments, but prolonged disruptions could continue to negatively impact its subsidiaries’ operations and, in turn, the Company’s business.

The used vehicle market is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with sales typically peaking in the first quarter due to income tax refunds. The Debtor’s funding activity aligns with these trends, experiencing increased activity during tax season. This seasonality, however, can lead to variability in the Debtor’s financial performance, with potential declines in sales and increased delinquencies in the latter half of the year. These fluctuations may not fully reflect the underlying performance of the Debtor’s business and could adversely impact its results of operations.

UACC is a prominent automotive captive finance company that historically serviced RICs and provided other financial services to consumers purchasing vehicles from Vroom as well as unaffiliated dealerships, with a focus on non-prime lending. UACC was acquired by the Debtor in February 2022 and remains a wholly owned subsidiary of the Debtor. UACC’s current business relies on third-party dealers of both new and used vehicles. As of the date hereof, UACC has approximately 6,300 independent dealers in 49 states in its network.

88

UACC’s ability to optimize its dealer network to broadcast its offerings and increase vehicle finance originations is crucial for its growth strategy. While UACC aims to moderately expand its automotive financing business with a focus on profitability, there are inherent risks, including market competition and changes in consumer demand. Additionally, certain initiatives related to expansion into additional target markets may not yield the anticipated results, and technological innovations intended to enhance dealer and customer engagement may also encounter unforeseen obstacles.

UACC’s reliance on debt financing to maintain and grow its business presents additional risks. UACC depends on borrowings under senior secured warehouse credit facilities to finance the origination of finance receivables and support general operating activities. These facilities typically mature within two years, and UACC currently has four Warehouse Credit Facilities with terms expiring in 2025. Discussions with lenders are underway to amend and extend these facilities beyond their current expiration dates. However, failure to secure warehouse borrowing capacity beyond 2025 could materially affect UACC’s ability to finance its lending operations, impacting results of operations and liquidity.

The availability of additional financing is contingent on various factors, including (i) market conditions, (ii) credit availability, (iii) losses in UACC’s loan portfolio, and (iv) UACC’s financial position. If financing alternatives become limited or unavailable, UACC may be unable to maintain or grow origination volume as anticipated, which would adversely affect both UACC’s and the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

On January 22, 2024, the Debtor announced its Value Maximization Plan, pursuant to which the Company wound down its e-commerce operations and used vehicle dealership business while certain Non-Debtor Affiliates continued to operate their separate businesses. This decision aimed to preserve cash and maximize stakeholder value through the remaining businesses. However, there can be no assurance that the Debtor will succeed in achieving profitability and creating meaningful stakeholder value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company faced approximately $15.8 million in severance costs and $13.9 million in contract termination costs. Actual costs may exceed estimates due to ongoing negotiations and unforeseen factors, potentially impacting the Debtor’s financial position and cash flows.

Although the Company successfully completed the wind-down of its e-commerce operations and used vehicle dealership business on March 29, 2024, the Company may continue to incur additional wind-down costs through the end of 2024. In addition, the wind-down involves risks such as retaining qualified personnel, potential operational disruptions, exposure to liabilities, and negative impacts on business relationships, all of which could limit the economic upside of such wind-down. Moreover, if these risks or others impair the Debtor’s ability to successfully minimize

89

ongoing costs of the wind-down or distract the Debtor’s management, the Debtor may not be able to realize other business opportunities as it may be required to divert time and funds that otherwise would be used on the development, expansion and profitability of other businesses, which in turn could adversely impact the Debtor’s business, operational results, financial position and Cash flows.

The Debtor’s business depends upon the continued efforts, abilities, and expertise of its executive officers and other key personnel. The Debtor believes that the loss of one or more of these individuals could adversely impact the Debtor’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and Cash flows. If the Debtor fails to retain key personnel or attract new talent, its business and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

While certain prepetition litigation Claims will be treated as Class 5 – 510(b) Claims, the Debtor is involved in certain other litigation, which, so long as it remains unresolved, represents legal issues of uncertain outcome and potential Claims for monetary damages. If the outcomes of such litigation are unfavorable, they could have a material impact on the Debtor’s operations and financial health.

Additionally, there is a risk of future litigation. In general, litigation can be expensive and time consuming to bring or defend against. Such litigation could result in settlements or damages that could significantly affect the Reorganized Debtor’s financial results. It is also possible that certain parties will commence litigation with respect to the treatment of their Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan. It is not possible to predict with certainty what, if any, future litigation the Reorganized Debtor may become involved in, nor the final resolution of such litigation. The impact of any such litigation on the Reorganized Debtor’s businesses and financial stability, however, could be material.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the composition of the Reorganized Debtor’s board of directors may differ significantly from the current composition of the Debtor’s board of directors. Any new directors are likely to have different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives from those individuals who previously served on the Debtor’s board and, thus, may have different views on the issues that will determine the future of the Debtor. As a result, the future strategy and plans of the Debtor may differ materially from those of the past.

90

Subject to the terms of, and without prejudice to the rights of any party to, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Plan may be revoked or withdrawn prior to the Confirmation Date by the Debtor.

The statements contained in this Disclosure Statement are made by the Debtor as of the date hereof, unless otherwise specified in the Plan, and the delivery of this Disclosure Statement after that date does not imply that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since that date. The Debtor has no duty to update this Disclosure Statement unless otherwise ordered to do so by the Bankruptcy Court.

No representations concerning or related to the Debtor, the Chapter 11 Case, or the Plan are authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or the Bankruptcy Code, other than as set forth in this Disclosure Statement. Any representations or inducements made to secure your acceptance or rejection of the Plan that are other than those contained in, or included with, this Disclosure Statement should not be relied upon in making the decision to accept or reject the Plan.

The contents of this Disclosure Statement should not be construed as legal, business, or tax advice. Each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest should consult its legal counsel and accountant as to legal, tax, and other matters concerning its Claim or Equity Interest.

This Disclosure Statement is not legal advice to you. This Disclosure Statement may not be relied upon for any purpose other than to determine how to vote on the Plan or whether to object to confirmation of the Plan.

Nothing contained herein or in the Plan will constitute an admission of, or will be deemed evidence of, the tax or other legal effects of the Plan on the Debtor or Holders of Claims or Equity Interests.

The potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Restructuring to the Debtor and Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, and Existing Equity Awards (including the ownership and disposition of consideration to be received pursuant to the Restructuring) are complex and, in certain instances, subject to uncertainty. All Holders should carefully review the materials in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan” and independently consult with their tax advisors regarding the Restructuring.

91

Under the Bankruptcy Code, only holders of claims or equity interests in “impaired” classes are entitled to vote on a plan. Under section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims or equity interests is deemed to be “impaired” under a plan unless (i) the plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such claim or equity interest entitles the holder thereof or (ii) notwithstanding any legal right to an accelerated payment of such claim or equity interest, the plan cures all existing defaults (other than defaults resulting from the occurrence of events of bankruptcy) and reinstates the maturity of such claim or equity interest as it existed before the default.

If, however, the holder of an impaired claim or equity interest will not receive or retain any distribution under the plan on account of such claim or equity interest, the Bankruptcy Code deems such holder to have rejected the plan, and, accordingly, holders of such claims and equity interests do not actually vote on the plan. If a claim or equity interest is not impaired by the plan, the Bankruptcy Code conclusively presumes the holder of such claim or equity interest to have accepted the plan and, accordingly, holders of such claims and equity interests are not entitled to vote on the plan.

A vote may be disregarded if the Bankruptcy Court determines, pursuant to section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, that it was not solicited or procured in good faith or in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Bankruptcy Code defines “acceptance” of a plan as (i) with respect to a class of claims, acceptance by creditors holding at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of the claims in such class held by creditors that cast ballots for acceptance or rejection of the plan; and (ii) with respect to a class of equity interests, acceptance by equity interest holders that hold at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount of the equity interests in such class held by holders that cast ballots for acceptance or rejection of the plan.

The following Classes are Impaired under the Plan, and Holders of Claims and Equity Interests in such Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan:

Before voting to accept or reject the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim, Existing Equity Interest, or Existing Equity Award (each, a “Voting Holder”) should carefully review the Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A. All descriptions of the Plan set forth in this Disclosure Statement are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

92

IF YOU ARE A HOLDER OF AN ALLOWED UNSECURED NOTES CLAIM, EXISTING EQUITY INTEREST, OR EXISTING EQUITY AWARD, FOR YOUR VOTE TO BE COUNTED, YOUR VOTE MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE SOLICITATION AGENT (AS DEFINED BELOW) ON OR BEFORE THE VOTING DEADLINE OF 4:00 P.M., PREVAILING CENTRAL TIME, ON DECEMBER 30, 2024, UNLESS EXTENDED BY THE DEBTOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT AGREEMENT.

IF YOU ARE A HOLDER OF AN UNSECURED NOTES CLAIM AND YOU HOLD YOUR CLAIMS THROUGH A NOMINEE (AS DEFINED BELOW), PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY YOUR NOMINEE FOR RETURNING YOUR BALLOT. UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED, PLEASE RETURN YOUR BENEFICIAL HOLDER BALLOT TO YOUR NOMINEE, OR YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

Each Ballot contains detailed voting instructions and sets forth in detail, among other things, the deadlines, procedures, and instructions for voting to accept or reject the Plan, the applicable voting record date for voting purposes, and the applicable standards for tabulating Ballots. The Debtor has engaged Kurtzman Carson Consultants, LLC d/b/a Verita Global as its solicitation agent (the “Solicitation Agent”) to assist in the transmission of voting materials and in the tabulation of votes with respect to the Plan.

Ballots must be returned by the Voting Deadline in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. Ballots may also be delivered by First Class Mail, Overnight Courier, or Personal Delivery to the following address:

Vroom Processing Center

c/o Kurtzman Carson Consultants, LLC d/b/a Verita Global, LLC

El Segundo, CA 90245

ANY BALLOT THAT IS EXECUTED AND RETURNED BUT WHICH DOES NOT INDICATE EITHER AN ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN OR INDICATES BOTH AN ACCEPTANCE AND A REJECTION OF THE PLAN WILL NOT BE COUNTED. THE DEBTOR MAY REQUEST THAT THE SOLICITATION AGENT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT SUCH VOTERS TO CURE ANY SUCH DEFECTS IN THE BALLOTS. THE FAILURE TO VOTE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN. AN OBJECTION TO THE CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN, EVEN IF TIMELY SERVED, DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.

UNLESS A BALLOT IS SUBMITTED TO THE SOLICITATION AGENT ON OR PRIOR TO THE VOTING DEADLINE, SUCH BALLOT WILL BE REJECTED AS INVALID AND WILL NOT BE COUNTED AS AN ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE DEBTOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUEST THE BANKRUPTCY COURT TO ALLOW SUCH BALLOT TO BE COUNTED.

93

The Debtor shall provide copies of this Disclosure Statement (including all exhibits and appendices), related materials and the applicable Ballot(s) (collectively, the “Solicitation Package”) to all Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, and Existing Equity Awards as of the Voting Record Date.

A Voting Holder who holds Unsecured Notes Claims as a record holder in its own name should vote on the Plan by (i) completing and signing a Ballot (a “Registered Holder Ballot”) and returning it directly to the Solicitation Agent on or before the Voting Deadline using the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope enclosed therewith or (ii) completing and submitting an electronic version of the Registered Holder Ballot through the electronic balloting platform (the “E-Ballot Platform”) on the Solicitation Agent’s website by visiting https://www.veritaglobal.net/vrm and clicking on the “Submit Electronic Ballot (E-Ballot)” link.

Record Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims may include brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies, or other agent nominees (“Nominees”). If such entities do not hold Unsecured Notes Claims for their own account, they must provide copies of the Solicitation Package to their customers that are the Voting Holders thereof as of the Voting Record Date. Any Voting Holder of Unsecured Notes Claims who has not received a Ballot should contact his, her, or its Nominee or the Solicitation Agent.

A Voting Holder holding Unsecured Notes Claims in “street name” through a Nominee may vote on the Plan by one of the following two (2) methods (as selected by such Voting Holder’s Nominee):

Any Beneficial Holder Ballot returned to a Nominee by a Voting Holder will not be counted for purposes of acceptance or rejection of the Plan until such Nominee properly completes and delivers to the Solicitation Agent that Beneficial Holder Ballot (properly validated) or a Master Ballot casting the vote of such Voting Holder.

94

If any Voting Holder owns Unsecured Notes Claims through more than one Nominee, such Voting Holder may receive multiple mailings containing Beneficial Holder Ballots. The Voting Holder should execute a separate Beneficial Holder Ballot for each block of Unsecured Notes Claims that it holds through any particular Nominee and return each Beneficial Holder Ballot to the respective Nominee in the return envelope provided therewith. Voting Holders who execute multiple Beneficial Holder Ballots with respect to Unsecured Notes Claims in a single class held through more than one (1) Nominee must indicate on each Beneficial Holder Ballot the names of all such other Nominees and the additional amounts of such Unsecured Notes Claims so held and voted.

A Nominee that, on the Voting Record Date, is the record Holder of Unsecured Notes Claims for one (1) or more Voting Holders may obtain the votes of the Voting Holders of such Unsecured Notes Claims, consistent with customary practices for obtaining the votes of securities held in “street name,” in one of the following two ways:

The Nominee may “pre-validate” a Beneficial Holder Ballot by signing the Beneficial Holder Ballot and including its DTC participant number, indicating the account number of the Beneficial Holder and the principal amount of Claims held by the Nominee for such Beneficial Holder, and marking the Beneficial Holder Ballot with a medallion guarantee stamp certifying the Beneficial Holder’s position as of the Voting Record Date, and then forwarding the Beneficial Holder Ballot, together with the Disclosure Statement, a preaddressed, postage-paid return envelope addressed to and provided by the Solicitation Agent, and any other materials requested to be forwarded, to the Voting Holder for voting. In order to vote, the Beneficial Holder then must complete the remaining information requested on the Beneficial Holder Ballot and return the Beneficial Holder Ballot directly to the Solicitation Agent so that it is RECEIVED by the Solicitation Agent on or before the Voting Deadline. A list of the Voting Holders to whom “pre-validated” Beneficial Holder Ballots were delivered should be maintained by Nominees for inspection for at least one (1) year from the Voting Deadline.

If the Nominee elects not to pre-validate Beneficial Holder Ballots, the Nominee may obtain the votes of Voting Holders by forwarding to the Voting Holders the unsigned Beneficial Holder Ballots, together with the Disclosure Statement, a pre-addressed, postage-paid return envelope provided by and addressed to the Nominee, and any other materials requested to be forwarded. Each such Voting Holder must then indicate his, her, or its vote on the Beneficial Holder Ballot, provide the information requested on the Beneficial Holder Ballot, review the certifications contained on the Beneficial Holder Ballot, execute the Beneficial Holder Ballot, and return the Beneficial Holder Ballot to the Nominee. After collecting the Beneficial Holder Ballots, the Nominee should, in turn, complete a Master Ballot compiling the votes and other information from the Beneficial Holder Ballots, execute the Master Ballot, and deliver the Master Ballot to the

95

Solicitation Agent so that it is RECEIVED by the Solicitation Agent on or before the Voting Deadline. All Beneficial Holder Ballots returned by Voting Holders should either be forwarded to the Solicitation Agent (along with the Master Ballot) or retained by Nominees for inspection for at least one (1) year from the Voting Deadline.

EACH NOMINEE SHOULD ADVISE ITS VOTING HOLDERS TO RETURN THEIR BENEFICIAL HOLDER BALLOTS TO THE NOMINEE BY A DATE CALCULATED BY THE NOMINEE TO ALLOW IT TO PREPARE AND RETURN THE MASTER BALLOT TO THE SOLICITATION AGENT SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED BY THE SOLICITATION AGENT ON OR BEFORE THE VOTING DEADLINE. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, NOMINEES MAY RETURN MASTER BALLOTS VIA EMAIL TO VROOMBALLOTS@VERITAGLOBAL.COM WITH A REFERENCE TO “VROOM MASTER BALLOTS” IN THE SUBJECT LINE.

Tabulation of Pre-Validated Beneficial Holder Ballots and Master Ballots:

96

A Voting Holder of Existing Equity Interests or Existing Equity Awards should vote on the Plan by (i) completing and returning its paper Ballot(s) in accordance with the instructions set forth therein and returning it directly to the Solicitation Agent on or before the Voting Deadline using the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope enclosed therewith or (ii) completing and submitting an electronic Ballot through the E-Ballot Platform on the Solicitation Agent’s website by visiting https://www.veritaglobal.net/vrm and clicking on the “Submit Electronic Ballot (E-Ballot)” link.

HOLDERS OF CLASS 7 EXISTING EQUITY INTERESTS AND CLASS 8 EXISTING EQUITY AWARDS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT THEIR BALLOTS VIA THE E-BALLOT PLATFORM.

All Ballots must be signed by the record Holder of the Unsecured Notes Claim, Existing Equity Interest, or Existing Equity Award, as applicable, or by a beneficial owner who has the power and authority to vote on behalf of the record Holder of the Unsecured Notes Claim, Existing Equity Interest, or Existing Equity Award, as applicable, on such date. If you return more than one (1) Ballot voting different Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, or Existing Equity Awards, and the Ballots are not voted in the same manner, and you do not correct this before the Voting Deadline, those Ballots will not be counted. An otherwise properly executed Ballot (other than a Master Ballot) that attempts to partially accept and partially reject the Plan will likewise not be counted. If you cast more than one (1) Ballot voting the same Claim(s) or Equity Interest(s) before the Voting Deadline, the last valid Ballot received on or before the applicable Voting Deadline will be deemed to reflect your intent, and thus, supersede any prior Ballot. If you cast Ballots that are received by the Solicitation Agent on the same day, but which are voted inconsistently, such Ballots will not be counted.

The Ballots provided to Voting Holders will reflect the principal amount of such Voting Holder’s Claim or Equity Interest; however, when tabulating votes, the Solicitation Agent may adjust the amount of such Voting Holder’s Claim or Equity Interest by multiplying the principal amount by a factor that reflects all amounts accrued between the Voting Record Date and the Petition Date, including, without limitation, interest.

Except as provided below, unless a Ballot is timely submitted to the Solicitation Agent before the Voting Deadline, together with any other documents required by such Ballot, the Debtor may reject such Ballot as invalid and decline to utilize it in connection with seeking confirmation of the Plan.

All pleadings and notices relating to the Chapter 11 Case that are Filed with the Bankruptcy Court (including notices of the date and time of hearings and the Plan Supplement, once Filed) will be made available for review on the case information website of the Solicitation Agent at https://www.veritaglobal.net/vrm (the “Case Website”). The Debtor reserves the right to modify, amend, supplement, restate, or withdraw the Plan Supplement after it is Filed. The Debtor will file and make available on the Case Website any modified, amended, supplemented, or restated Plan Supplement as promptly as possible.

97

If a Ballot is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation, or another acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should indicate such capacity when signing and, if requested, must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Debtor of authority to so act. Authorized signatories should submit a separate Ballot for each Voting Holder for whom they are voting.

The delivery of an accepting Ballot pursuant to one of the procedures set forth above will constitute the agreement of the creditor or interest holder with respect to such Ballot to accept (a) all of the terms of, and conditions to, this Solicitation; and (b) the terms of the Plan, including the injunction, releases, and exculpation set forth in Article X therein. All parties in interest retain their right to object to confirmation of the Plan pursuant to section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to any applicable terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement.

Any party who has previously submitted to the Solicitation Agent a properly completed Ballot prior to the Voting Deadline may revoke such Ballot and change its vote by submitting to the Solicitation Agent prior to the Voting Deadline a subsequent properly completed, valid Ballot for acceptance or rejection of the Plan; provided, however, that the Debtor has discretion on whether to accept any such changed Ballot after the Voting Deadline.

Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance, and revocation or withdrawals of Ballots will be determined by the Solicitation Agent and/or the Debtor, which determination will be final and binding. The Debtor reserves the right to reject any and all Ballots submitted by any Holders of Claims or Equity Interests entitled to vote that are not in proper form, the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Debtor or its counsel be unlawful. The Debtor further reserves its right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of delivery as to any particular Ballot by any Holder of Claims or Equity Interests. The interpretation of the Ballots and the respective instructions thereto by the Debtor, unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with deliveries of Ballots must be cured within such time as the Debtor (or the Bankruptcy Court) determines. Neither the Debtor nor any other person will be under any duty to provide notification of defects or irregularities with respect to deliveries of Ballots, nor will any of them incur any liability for failure to provide such notification. Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, delivery of such Ballots will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Ballots previously furnished (and as to which any irregularities have not theretofore been cured or waived) will be invalidated.

98

If you have any questions or require further information about the voting procedures for voting your Claims or Equity Interests, or about the packet of material you received, or if you wish to obtain an additional copy of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any exhibits to such documents, please contact the Solicitation Agent.

On or around the Petition Date, the Debtor will seek entry of orders of the Bankruptcy Court granting (i) conditional approval of the Disclosure Statement and the other Solicitation Materials and (ii) approval of the Disclosure Statement and the other Solicitation Materials on a final basis and confirmation of the Plan. The Debtor anticipates that notice of the hearing to consider final approval of the Disclosure Statement and Solicitation Materials and confirmation of the Plan (the “Confirmation Hearing”) will be published and mailed to all known Holders of Claims and Equity Interests at least twenty-eight (28) days before the date by which objections must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the confirmation requirements specified in section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied, including, among others, whether:

99

As noted above, with respect to each impaired class of claims and equity interests, confirmation of a plan requires that each holder thereof either (i) accept the plan or (ii) receive or retain under the plan property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the value such holder would receive or retain if the debtor was liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. This requirement is referred to as the “best interests test.”

This test requires a bankruptcy court to determine what the holders of allowed claims and allowed equity interests in each impaired class would receive from a liquidation of the debtor’s assets and properties in the context of liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. To determine if a plan is in the best interests of each impaired class, the value of the distributions from the proceeds of the liquidation of the debtor’s assets and properties (after subtracting the amounts attributable to the aforesaid claims) is then compared with the value offered to such classes of claims and equity interests under the plan.

100

The Debtor believes that, under the Plan, all Holders of Impaired Claims and Equity Interests will receive property with a value not less than the value each such Holder would receive in a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor’s belief is based primarily on (i) consideration of the effects that a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the proceeds ultimately available for distribution to Holders of Impaired Claims and Equity Interests and (ii) the liquidation analysis attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Liquidation Analysis”).

The Debtor believes that any liquidation analysis is speculative, as it is necessarily premised on assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which would be beyond the control of the Debtor. The Liquidation Analysis provided in Exhibit D is solely for the purpose of disclosing to Holders of Claims and Equity Interests the effects of a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtor, subject to the assumptions set forth therein. There can be no assurance as to values that would actually be realized in a chapter 7 liquidation, nor can there be any assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will accept the Debtor’s conclusions or concur with such assumptions in making its determinations under section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

In addition, as noted above, section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that a debtor demonstrate that confirmation of a plan is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization. For purposes of determining whether the Plan meets this requirement, the Debtor has analyzed its ability to meet their obligations under the Plan. As part of this analysis, the Debtor has prepared the Financial Projections set forth in Exhibit E hereto. Based upon such Financial Projections, the Debtor believes that it will have sufficient resources to make all payments required pursuant to the Plan and that confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further reorganization. Section XI hereof sets forth certain risk factors that could impact the feasibility of the Plan.

On or before the Effective Date, pursuant to and only to the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, the organizational documents of the Debtor will be amended as necessary to satisfy the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and will include, among other things, pursuant to section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, provisions (i) prohibiting the issuance of non-voting equity securities and (ii) setting forth an appropriate distribution of voting power among classes of equity securities possessing voting power.

As to Class 3, Class 7 and Class 8, should any or all of such Classes vote to reject the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court may still confirm the Plan at the request of the Debtor (and to the extent consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement) if, as to each Impaired Class that rejects the Plan, the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to such Classes, pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Both of these requirements are in addition to other requirements established by case law interpreting the statutory requirements.

101

The “unfair discrimination” test applies to classes of claims or equity interests that are of equal priority and are receiving different treatment under a plan. A chapter 11 plan does not discriminate unfairly, within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, if the legal rights of a dissenting class are treated in a manner consistent with the treatment of other classes whose legal rights are substantially similar to those of the dissenting class and if no class of claims or equity interests receives more than it legally is entitled to receive for its claims or equity interests. This test does not require that the treatment be the same or equivalent, but that such treatment is “fair.” Courts will take into account a number of factors in determining whether a plan discriminates unfairly, and, accordingly, a plan could treat two classes of unsecured creditors differently without unfairly discriminating against either class. The Debtor believes the Plan satisfies the “unfair discrimination” test.

The “fair and equitable” test applies to classes of different priority and status (e.g., secured versus unsecured) and includes the general requirement that no class of claims receive more than 100% of the allowed amount of the claims in such class. As to dissenting classes, the test sets different standards depending on the type of claims in such class. The Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies the “fair and equitable” test with respect to any rejecting class as further explained below.

Class 2 (Secured Claims) is Unimpaired. Subject to Article VIII of the Plan, to the extent any Allowed Secured Claim has not already been paid in full during the Chapter 11 Case, on the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Holder of such Allowed Secured Claim shall receive in full and final satisfaction, settlement, discharge and release of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Secured Claim, at the option of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable: (a) payment in full in Cash in an amount equal to the due and unpaid portion of such Allowed Secured Claim; (b) delivery of the Collateral securing such Allowed Secured Claim; (c) reinstatement of such Allowed Secured Claim; or (d) such other treatment rendering such Allowed Secured Claim Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that Secured Claims incurred by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business may be paid in the ordinary course of business by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the terms and conditions of any agreements relating thereto without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Class 3 (Unsecured Notes Claims) is Impaired. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim agrees to less favorable treatment, on the Effective Date, each Holder of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims will receive, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, discharge and release of, and in exchange for, its Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim, its Pro Rata share of 92.94% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution by (i) the New Warrants, (ii) the MIP Equity, and (iii) the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards).

102

Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims) is Unimpaired. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim and the Debtor agree to less favorable treatment on account of such Claim, each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed General Unsecured Claim, on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date or when such obligation becomes due in the ordinary course of business in accordance with applicable law or the terms of any agreement that governs such Allowed General Unsecured Claim, whichever is later, either, in the sole discretion of the Debtor, (a) payment in full in Cash, or (b) such other treatment as to render such Holder Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that no Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive any distribution for any Claim that has previously been satisfied pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Class 5 (510(b) Claims) is Unimpaired. On the Effective Date, each 510(b) Claim shall be rendered Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Class 6 (Intercompany Claims) is Unimpaired. On the Effective Date, each Intercompany Claim shall be, at the option of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, reinstated, compromised, or canceled and released without any distribution.

It is expected that the “fair and equitable” test need not be met with respect to unsecured creditors because (i) Class 4, Class 5, and Class 6 are Unimpaired by the Plan and are conclusively presumed to accept the Plan and (ii) Class 3 is expected to vote in favor of the Plan.

Class 7 (Existing Equity Interests) is Impaired. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Existing Equity Interest agrees to less favorable treatment, on the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed Existing Equity Interest shall receive: (a) its Pro Rata share of 7.06% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution by (1) the New Warrants, (2) the MIP Equity, and (3) the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards); and (b) the right to receive the New Warrants in an amount equal to their Pro Rata share of Existing Equity Interests.

Class 8 (Existing Equity Awards) is Impaired. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Existing Equity Award agrees to less favorable treatment, on the Effective Date, all Allowed Existing Equity Awards shall be converted into the Post-Effective Date Equity Awards.

It is expected that the “fair and equitable” test need not be met with respect to Holders of Existing Equity Interests because Class 7 and Class 8 are expected to vote in favor of the Plan.

The Debtor has evaluated several alternatives to the Plan. After studying these alternatives, the Debtor has concluded that the Plan is the best alternative and will maximize recoveries to parties in interest, assuming confirmation and consummation of the Plan. If the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, the alternatives to the Plan are (i) the preparation and presentation of an alternative plan of reorganization, (ii) a sale of some or all of the Debtor’s assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

103

If the Plan is not confirmed, the Debtor (or, if the Debtor’s exclusive periods in which to file and obtain acceptance of a plan of reorganization has expired, any other party in interest) could attempt to formulate a different plan. Such a plan might involve either a reorganization and continuation of the Debtor’s business or an orderly liquidation of its assets. The Debtor, however, submits that the Plan, as described herein, enables its creditors to realize the most value under the circumstances.

If the Plan is not confirmed, the Debtor could seek from the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and a hearing, authorization to sell all or substantially all of its assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Holders of Secured Claims would be entitled to credit bid on any property to which their security interest is attached and to offset their Claims against the purchase price of the property. In addition, the security interests in the Debtor’s assets held by Holders of Secured Claims would attach to the proceeds of any sale of the Debtor’s assets. After these Claims were satisfied, the remaining funds could be used to pay Holders of Unsecured Claims and Equity Interests. Upon analysis and consideration of this alternative, the Debtor does not believe a sale of all or substantially all of its assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code would yield a higher recovery for Holders of Claims and Equity Interests than the Plan.

If no plan can be confirmed, the Chapter 11 Case may be converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, in which a trustee would be elected or appointed to liquidate the assets of the Debtor for distribution to its creditors in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. The effect a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the recovery of Holders of allowed Claims and Equity Interests is set forth in the Liquidation Analysis attached hereto as Exhibit D.

Per the Liquidation Analysis, the Debtor believes that liquidation under chapter 7 would result in smaller distributions to creditors than those provided for under the Plan and no distribution to equity holders because of the delay resulting from the conversion of the case and the additional administrative expenses associated with the appointment of a trustee and the trustee’s retention of professionals who would be required to become familiar with the many legal and factual issues in the Chapter 11 Case.

104

The Debtor believes the Plan is in the best interests of all stakeholders and urges the Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, Existing Equity Interests, and Existing Equity Awards to vote in favor thereof.
