Implementation of the Offshore Loan Restructuring

On January 17, 2017, the Parent, UABL Limited (Bahamas) (solely in its capacity as counterparty to the Allocation Agreement, as defined in the Offshore Business RSA), the non-Debtor Offshore Business Entities, Cornamusa, Southern Cross, certain parties related to Southern Cross, the Offshore Agents and the Offshore Lenders party thereto entered into the Offshore Business RSA -- a restructuring support agreement which provides for, among other things, terms for the release, waiver, and discharge by the Offshore Lenders of all their Claims against the Parent and the River Business, including without limitation, the Offshore Lender Cornamusa Claim and the Offshore Lender Parent Claims.  The Offshore Business RSA is annexed to the Plan as Exhibit 4 . 2
 


2   All descriptions herein and in the Disclosure Statement of specified documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of such documents.  In the event of any inconsistency between the descriptions herein and the terms and conditions of the specified documents, the terms and conditions of the specified documents control as set forth therein.
3


Pursuant to the Offshore Business RSA, the Offshore Common Terms Agreement, which will provide, among other things, for the out-of-court restructuring and amendment of the Offshore Loans, is to be executed by the Offshore Lenders, the Parent, certain non-Debtor subsidiaries of the Parent that are part of the Offshore Business, and other non-Debtor parties no later than two business days prior to the Voting Deadline.  The Offshore Business RSA and the Offshore Common Terms Agreement comprise the "Offshore Lender Agreement" referred to in the Disclosure Statement.  The Offshore Common Terms Agreement will be included in the Plan Supplement that will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

Pursuant to the Offshore Business RSA, Ultrapetrol will seek confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court of the Parent-Included Plan if (i) the Offshore Common Terms Agreement is executed no later than two business days prior to the Voting Deadline and (ii) prior to the Voting Deadline the Offshore Lenders have voted their Class 11 Offshore Lender Parent Claims to accept the Plan.  In such event, in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions contained in, the Offshore Business RSA, on the Commencement Date Parent and UABL Limited (Bahamas) will seek Bankruptcy Court approval of their assumption of the Offshore Business RSA, and will prosecute and support the confirmation and consummation of the Parent-Included Plan and will not prosecute the Parent-Excluded Plan (which, the Plan Debtors believe, would require amending the Plan, which in turn, would require the Plan Debtors to obtain the consent of the Supporting Parties and the Offshore Supporting Creditors (as defined in, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Offshore Business RSA, respectively) and likely would require a resolicitation of votes in respect thereof).
Additional Factors to Be Considered.  The Offshore Business RSA contains certain provisions that give the Offshore Lenders the ability to terminate the Offshore Business RSA if various conditions are not satisfied, including, without limitation, execution of the Common Terms Agreement two business days prior to the Voting Deadline and the occurrence of the Restructuring Effective Date (as defined in the Offshore Business RSA) on or before March 31, 2017.

In addition, as set forth in the Plan, entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Plan Debtors' assumption of the Offshore Business RSA (and that the Offshore Business RSA shall not have been terminated and shall be in full force and effect) is an additional condition to confirmation of the Parent-Included Plan, and as an additional condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Parent-Included Plan, all conditions to the completion of the Offshore Business Restructuring and the effectiveness of the Offshore Restructuring Definitive Documents (other than certain conditions that require the offshore restructuring Effective Date to have occurred) shall have been satisfied or shall have been waived by the party entitled to waive them.  The Plan Debtors, however, may waive each of the foregoing additional conditions with the consent each of the Offshore Lenders.
4


The termination of the Offshore Business RSA, the Bankruptcy Court's denial of the Plan Debtors' assumption of the Offshore Business RSA, or the failure to satisfy unwaived conditions to the completion of the Offshore Business Restructuring could result in protracted chapter 11 cases, which could significantly and detrimentally impact Ultrapetrol's relationships with vendors, suppliers, employees, and major customers, and ultimately, its emergence from chapter 11.

Restructuring Support Agreement – River Business

To enable the parties to complete their negotiation and documentation of the Offshore Business RSA, Ultrapetrol, the Majority Supporting Noteholders, IFC, and OFID agreed to extend certain deadlines set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement, as follows (capitalized terms in the list below have the meanings set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement):

·
the Company shall keep the Solicitation open until no later than February 2, 2017;
·
the Chapter 11 Cases shall be commenced no later than February 8, 2017;

·
the Parties shall support and take all steps reasonably necessary to obtain entry of an order approving the Agreement in all material respects (including approval of any fee and expense reimbursement payable hereunder, including any Termination Fee payable to Sparrow) and the Company's assumption thereof, which order shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to the Company and the Supporting Parties and shall be entered by the Bankruptcy Court (and not be stayed) no later than March 10, 2017;

·
the hearing to confirm the Plan, and approve the Disclosure Statement and Solicitation in connection therewith shall be held as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than March 28, 2017; and

·
on or before March 31, 2017, (1) the Bankruptcy Court shall enter a Confirmation Order that is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to the Company and each of the Supporting Parties confirming the Plan, which order shall (x) provide, inter alia, that the Parties have proceeded in good faith in all respects in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Term Sheet and (y) approve the Company's assumption of the Investment Agreement, the Management Services Agreement and the IFC-OFID Loan Purchase Agreement and (2) the Company shall achieve substantial consummation of the Plan.

5

Failure to achieve any of the milestones may give rise to termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement by the Majority Supporting Noteholders, which could result in protracted chapter 11 cases, which in turn, could significantly and detrimentally impact Ultrapetrol's relationships with vendors, suppliers, employees, and major customers, and ultimately, its emergence from chapter 11.

Class 11 – Offshore Lender Parent Claims

Though not a modification to the treatment of Class 11 Offshore Lender Parent Claims, Section III.D.2(b) of the Plan provides the clarification that under the Parent-Included Plan, on the Effective Date, in addition to the cancellation of the Offshore Lender Parent Guarantees, the Offshore Loans to the Debtors' non-Debtor affiliates that are the subject of such Offshore Lender Parent Guarantees will be restructured pursuant to the Offshore Restructuring Definitive Documents.

Ocean Business Sale

Following the conclusion of its marketing process for the sale of the Ocean Business, Ultrapetrol selected a winning bidder and is now in discussions with respect to the terms of a potential transaction.  In the event the parties reach agreement, the sale could be consummated prior to the commencement of the Reorganization Cases.
Right to Revoke or Withdraw

Section IX.F.a of the Plan has been modified to provide that the Plan Debtors may not revoke the Plan before the Effective Date without the consent of (i) the Majority Supporting Noteholders, (ii) IFC, (iii) OFID, (iv) Southern Cross, (v) Sparrow and, (vi) solely in the case of a Parent-Included Plan and provided that the Offshore Business RSA has not been terminated, each of the Offshore Lenders; provided, that the Plan Debtors may revoke or withdraw the Plan if such withdrawal is in the exercise of their fiduciary duty or otherwise permitted under the Restructuring Support Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall have no impact on the rights of the Majority Supporting Noteholders, IFC, OFID, Southern Cross, Sparrow and, in the case of a Parent-Included Plan, each of the Offshore Lenders, as set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Offshore Business RSA as the case may be, in respect of any such revocation or withdrawal.

Release Modifications and Modified Addendum B to Ballots

The modifications contained in the Plan include the following modified definitions of "Released Parties" and "Releasing Parties" in Section I.A. of the Plan and the following modified subsection "Releases by Holders of Claims and Equity Interests" in Section V.H.(b) of the Plan:
6


" Released Parties : means each of: (a) the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors; (b) the 2021 Notes Indenture Trustee; (c) the IFC-OFID Security Trustees; (d) the 2021 Noteholders; (e) IFC; (f) OFID; (g) New Holdco; (h) Sparrow; (i) Southern Cross; (j) solely in the case of the Parent-Included Plan, the Offshore Lenders; (k) solely in the case of the Parent-Included Plan, the Offshore Agents; and (l) with respect to each of the foregoing applicable Entities in clauses (a) through (k), such Entity's predecessors, Professionals, successors and assigns, affiliates, subsidiaries, funds, portfolio companies, management companies, and each of their respective current and former (to the extent employed or serving at any time following November 30, 2016) directors, officers, members, employees, partners, managers, independent contractors, agents, representatives, principals, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other professional advisors (each solely in their capacity as such)."

" Releasing Parties : means each of: (a) the 2021 Notes Indenture Trustee; (b) solely in the case of the Parent-Included Plan, the Offshore Agents; (c) holders of Impaired Claims who (x) voted to accept the Plan or (y) voted to reject the Plan and affirmatively elected to grant the releases provided in the Plan by checking the opt-in box on the Ballot; (d) IFC, (e) OFID; (f) Sparrow; (g) Southern Cross; (h) New Holdco; (i) to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law holders of Unimpaired Claims and Equity Interests, and (j) with respect to each of the foregoing applicable Entities in clauses (a) through (h), such Entity's predecessors, successors and assigns, affiliates, subsidiaries, funds, portfolio companies, management companies (but excluding any predecessors, portfolio companies, or management companies of any 2021 Noteholder), and each of their respective current and former shareholders, directors, officers, members, employees, partners, managers, independent contractors, agents, representatives, principals, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other professional advisors (each solely in their capacity as such)."

" Releases by Holders of Claims and Equity Interests .  On the Effective Date, except for the right to enforce the Plan and the Definitive Documents and the Offshore Restructuring Definitive Documents that remain in effect after the Effective Date, (i) each Releasing Party will be deemed to have forever released and covenanted with the Released Parties not to sue or otherwise seek recovery from any Released Party on account of any Claim, including any Claim or Cause of Action based upon tort, breach of contract, violations of federal or state securities laws or otherwise, or any other legal or equitable theory, based in whole or in part upon any act, occurrence, or failure to act from the beginning of time through the Effective Date in any way related to the Plan Debtors or their respective businesses and affairs (including without limitation any act or failure to act of the 2021 Notes Indenture Trustee in furtherance of a pre-petition sale of the Ocean Business in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement) and (ii) each Releasing Party will be deemed to have forever released and covenanted with the Released Parties not to assert against any Released Party any Claim, obligation, right, Cause of Action, or liability that any holder of a Claim may be entitled to assert, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, based in whole or in part on any act or omission, transaction, or occurrence from the beginning of time through the Effective Date in any way relating to the Plan Debtors, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim, or Equity Interest, the Plan Debtors' restructuring, the Reorganization Cases, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Investment Agreement, IFC-OFID Debt Purchase Agreement, the Plan Supplement or any of the documents included therein, provided, however, the foregoing release will not apply to any act or omission that constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud as determined by a Final Order."

7

Accordingly, Addendum B to the Ballots has been modified to reflect these Plan modifications.  The modified Addendum B is annexed hereto as Exhibit C .

If you have previously submitted a Ballot voting to accept the November 30 Plan, you will be deemed to consent to provide the releases set forth in Section V.H.(b) of the Plan to the fullest extent permitted  by applicable law, which releases are also set forth in the modified Addendum B attached hereto, unless you change your vote by delivering a properly completed superseding Ballot prior to the Voting Deadline in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Disclosure Statement and the Ballot.

If you have previously submitted a Ballot voting to reject the November 30 Plan and consented to provide the releases set forth in Section V.H.(b) of the November 30 Plan, you will be deemed to have consented to provide the releases set forth  in Section V.H.(b) of the Plan to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, which releases are also set forth in the modified Addendum B attached hereto, unless you change your election by delivering a properly completed superseding Ballot prior to the Voting Deadline in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Disclosure Statement and the Ballot.

In addition to the foregoing modifications, Section V.H.(a) of the Plan contains the following modified subsection "Releases by the Plan Debtors":

" Releases by the Plan Debtors .  On the Effective Date, except for the right to enforce the Plan, the Definitive Documents, and the Offshore Restructuring Definitive Documents that remain in effect after the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, the Released Parties' contributions to facilitating the reorganization and implementing the Plan, the Released Parties are deemed conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged by the Plan Debtors, their Estates, and the Reorganized Debtors from (and the Plan Debtors, their Estates, and the Reorganized Debtors are deemed to covenant with, and to, the Released Parties not to sue or otherwise seek recovery from the Released Parties on account of) any and all Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, suits, judgments, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including, without limitation, any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the Plan Debtors, their Estates, or the Reorganized Debtors, 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 Interest or other entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the restructuring contemplated herein, the Reorganized Debtors, the Reorganization Cases, the purchase, sale or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the formulation or preparation of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Disclosure Statement, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Offshore Business RSA, the Offshore Business Restructuring Definitive Documents, the Investment Agreement, IFC-OFID Debt Purchase Agreement, or related agreements, instruments, or other documents, the solicitation of votes with respect to the Plan, or upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or at any time before the Effective Date in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that no Person shall be released from any act or omission that constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud as determined by a Final Order."

Offshore Business Projected Financial Information

As described in the Disclosure Statement, the Offshore Business fleet is comprised of thirteen Platform Supply Vessels, or PSVs, which are designed to transport supplies such as containerized equipment, drill casing, pipes, and heavy loads on deck, along with fuel, water, drilling fluids, and bulk cement in under deck tanks and a variety of other supplies to drilling rigs and platforms. In addition, the Offshore Business fleet includes one Remotely Operated Vehicle Support Vessel, which is chartered with Petrobras in Brazil, and three offshore barges. Out of the thirteen PSVs, six were chartered in Brazil, another vessel, the UP Turquoise was blocked but is expected to resume its contract in January 2017, four were laid-up in Brazil, and two remained laid-up in the North Sea.  Ultrapetrol is currently seeking employment for these laid-up vessels in Brazil and the North Sea and anticipates these vessels will resume operation in January 2019.  The PSV UP Jade was blocked following the finalization of its current contract on August 1, 2016, but is now currently seeking employment along with the other laid-up vessels.  The current Petrobras contract of the RSV UP Coral was extended until August 24, 2017.  While Ultrapetrol anticipates a further extension of this contract and continued operation thereunder, the terms of such extension will be subject to agreement by the parties thereto and could include a reduction in daily rates.

With oil prices still below $55 per barrel, customers are continuing to aggressively look to reduce costs by cancelling contracts or renewing at substantially lower rates.  In January 2017, Ultrapetrol's largest customer, Petrobras, cancelled future tenders for the UP Esmeralda, UP Amber, UP Pearl, UP Jade, and UP Agate, and as a result, Ultrapetrol does not anticipate the resumption of operations for these vessels until January 2019.  In light of this cancellation, Ultrapetrol has examined and updated the Projected Financial Information with respect to the Offshore Business set forth in the Disclosure Statement.  The updated Projected Financial Information for the Offshore Business is annexed hereto as Exhibit D .   The Plan Debtors believe that the updated information does not impact the feasibility of the Plan.

NO INDEPENDENT AUDITOR HAS REVIEWED OR APPROVED THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any Claim, Cause of Action, right of setoff, or other legal or equitable defense which the Debtors had immediately prior to the Commencement Date against, or with respect to, any Claim left Unimpaired by this Plan. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert, all such Claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff, and other legal or equitable defenses which they had immediately prior to the Commencement Date fully as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Plan Debtors' legal and equitable rights with respect to any Reinstated Claim or Claim left Unimpaired by this Plan may be asserted by the applicable Reorganized Debtor after the Confirmation Date and the Effective Date to the same extent as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced.
ARTICLE IV.
MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
A.            Substantive Consolidation.
Solely for voting, confirmation, and distribution purposes under the Plan, the Consolidated Debtors are substantively consolidated for all purposes and actions associated with consummation of the Plan, including, without limitation, for purposes of voting and confirmation, and, solely for such purposes, on and after the Effective Date, (a) all assets and liabilities of the Consolidated Debtors shall be consolidated and treated as though they were merged into one estate, (b) all guarantees of any Consolidated Debtor of the obligations of any other Consolidated Debtor shall be eliminated so that any Claim against any Consolidated Debtor, any guarantee thereof executed by any other Consolidated Debtor, and any joint or several liability of any of the Consolidated Debtors shall be one obligation of the Consolidated Debtors, (c) each and every Claim filed or to be filed in the Reorganization Cases against any of the Consolidated Debtors shall be deemed filed against the Consolidated Debtors collectively and shall be one Claim against and, if and to the extent allowed, shall become one obligation of the Consolidated Debtors solely for purposes of distribution under the Plan, and (d) for all purposes associated with Confirmation, including, without limitation, for purposes of tallying acceptances and rejections of the Plan, the estates of the Consolidated Debtors shall be deemed to be one consolidated estate. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Effective Date any Allowed Claim that is Reinstated under the Plan shall be an obligation solely of the applicable Reorganized Debtor against whom such Allowed Claim is held and shall be paid in accordance with ordinary course terms.
Substantive consolidation shall not affect: (a) the legal and organizational structure of the Consolidated Debtors; (b) Intercompany Claims and Equity Interests between and among the Consolidated Debtors; and (c) distributions from any insurance policies or proceeds of such policies.
26


In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation of the Consolidated Debtors, then: (a) nothing in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an admission that one of the Debtors is subject to or liable for any Claim against any other Debtor; (b) Claims against multiple Debtors shall be treated as separate Claims with respect to each Debtor's estate for all purposes (including, without limitation, distributions and voting), and such Claims shall be administered as provided in the Plan; and (c) the Debtors shall not, nor shall they be required to, resolicit votes with respect to the Plan, nor will the failure of the Bankruptcy Court to approve substantive consolidation of the Consolidated Debtors materially alter the economics of the distributions set forth in the Plan. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation, the Plan shall be deemed to provide for thirty-two subplans of reorganization. A vote to accept the Plan shall also be deemed a vote to accept a separate plan for each of the Consolidated Debtors against whom you hold your claim in the event that the Bankruptcy Court denies approval of the substantive consolidation of the Consolidated Debtors; provided that the treatment of the claim being voted would not be materially different in the absence of substantive consolidation.
B.            General Settlement of Claims and Interests.
The provisions of the Plan shall, upon consummation, constitute a good faith compromise and settlement, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all Claims and controversies resolved under the Plan. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Court's approval of each of the compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan, and the Court's findings shall constitute its determination that such compromises and settlements are in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates, creditors, and other parties-in-interest, and are fair, equitable, and within the range of reasonableness. The Plan and the Confirmation Order shall have res judicata, collateral estoppel, and estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise) effect with respect to all matters provided for, or resolved pursuant to, the Plan and/or the Confirmation Order, including, without limitation, the release, injunction, exculpation, discharge, and compromise provisions contained in the Plan and/or the Confirmation Order.
C.            Effectuating Documents.
On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors and the managers, officers, and members of the boards of directors thereof, are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the securities issued pursuant to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorization, or consents except for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan.
D.            Cash Consideration.

Further, the Plan Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, will be entitled to transfer funds from non-Debtor affiliates to Debtors as they determine to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Reorganized Debtors to satisfy their obligations under the Plan.
On the Effective Date, the Plan Debtors' rights, if any, in the Debt Service Reserve Accounts will cease and IFC and OFID will have the right to withdraw or cause the withdrawal of the Debt Service Reserve Account Balance for their ratable benefit in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and to disburse or cause the disbursement of such funds in accordance with the applicable IFC-OFID Loan Agreements.

On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish the Fee Claims Escrow Account in an amount equal to all asserted Fee Claims of Professionals outstanding as of the Effective Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any reasonable estimates for unbilled amounts payable by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors). Amounts held in the Fee Claims Escrow Account shall not constitute property of the Reorganized Debtors. The Fee Claims Escrow Account may be an interest-bearing account. In the event there is a remaining balance in the Fee Claims Escrow Account following payment to all holders of Fee Claims under the Plan, any such amounts shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors.
O.            Indemnification of Directors, Officers, and Employees.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, indemnification obligations owed by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to directors, officers, or employees of the Plan Debtors who served or were employed by the Plan Debtors on or after the Commencement Date, to the extent provided in the articles or certificates of incorporation, by-laws, or similar constituent documents, by statutory law, or by written agreement, policies, or procedures of the Plan Debtors, will be deemed to be, and treated as though they are, executory contracts that are assumed pursuant to the Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. All such indemnification obligations shall survive confirmation of the Plan, remain unaffected thereby, and not be discharged, irrespective of whether indemnification, defense, reimbursement, or limitation is owed in connection with an event occurring before, on, or after the Commencement Date.
Indemnification obligations owed to any Professionals retained pursuant to sections 327 or 328 of the Bankruptcy Code and by order of the Court, to the extent such indemnification obligations relate to the period after the Commencement Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, executory contracts that are assumed pursuant to the Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as and to the extent such indemnification was approved by order of the Court.
P.            Closing of the Chapter 11 Cases.
After an Estate has been fully administered, the Reorganized Debtors shall promptly seek authority from the Bankruptcy Court to close the applicable Reorganization Case in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules.

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as expressly provided herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all Causes of Action, including without limitation those Causes of Action listed as retained Causes of Action on an exhibit to the Plan Supplement. Nothing contained in this Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any claim, Cause of Action, right of setoff, or other legal or equitable defense of any Plan Debtor that is not specifically waived or relinquished by this Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert, all such claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff, and other legal or equitable defenses that the Plan Debtors had immediately before the Commencement Date as fully as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Reorganized Debtors' legal and equitable rights respecting any claim that is not specifically waived or relinquished by this Plan may be asserted after the Effective Date to the same extent as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced. No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against such Person. The Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Person, in
36


accordance with the Plan. From and after the Effective Date, the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any Cause of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Court.

F.            Votes Solicited in Good Faith.
The Debtors have, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to have, solicited acceptances of the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors, and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, members, employees, and Professionals, have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer and issuance of the securities offered and sold under the Plan and therefore have not been, and on account of such offer and issuance 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 the offer or issuance of the securities offered and distributed under the Plan.
G.            Claims Incurred After the Effective Date.
Claims incurred by the Plan Debtors after the Effective Date may be paid by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of business and without application for or Court approval, subject to any agreements with such holders of a Claim and applicable law.
H.            Releases, Exculpations, and Injunctions of Released Parties.
The releases and discharges of Claims and Causes of Action described in the Plan, including releases by the Plan Debtors and by holders of Claims, constitute good faith compromises and settlements of the matters covered thereby and are consensual. Such compromises and settlements are made in exchange for consideration and are in the best interest of holders of Claims, are fair, equitable, reasonable and are integral elements of the resolution of the Reorganization Cases in accordance with the Plan. Each of the discharge, release, indemnification, and exculpation provisions set forth in the Plan (a) is within the jurisdiction of the Court under sections 1334(a), 1334(b), and 1334(d) of title 28 of the United States Code, (b) is an essential means of implementing the Plan, (c) is an integral element of the transactions incorporated into the Plan, (d) confers material benefit on, and is in the best interests of, the Plan Debtors, their Estates, and their Creditors, and (e) is important to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve all Claims among or against the parties-in-interest in the Reorganization Cases with provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
(a)            Releases by the Plan Debtors. On the Effective Date, except for the right to enforce the Plan, the Definitive Documents, and the Offshore Restructuring Definitive Documents that remain in effect after the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, the Released Parties' contributions to facilitating the reorganization and implementing the Plan, the Released Parties are
37


deemed conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged by the Plan Debtors, their Estates, and the Reorganized Debtors from (and the Plan Debtors, their Estates, and the Reorganized Debtors are deemed to covenant with, and to, the Released Parties not to sue or otherwise seek recovery from the Released Parties on account of) any and all Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, suits, judgments, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including, without limitation, any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the Plan Debtors, their Estates, or the Reorganized Debtors, 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 Interest or other entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the restructuring contemplated herein, the Reorganized Debtors, the Reorganization Cases, the purchase, sale or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the formulation or preparation of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Disclosure Statement, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Offshore Business RSA, the Offshore Business Restructuring Definitive Documents, the Investment Agreement, IFC-OFID Debt Purchase Agreement, or related agreements, instruments, or other documents, the solicitation of votes with respect to the Plan, or upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or at any time before the Effective Date in connection with the foregoing; provided , however , that no Person shall be released from any act or omission that constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud as determined by a Final Order.

The 2021 Notes Indenture Trustee and the IFC-OFID Security Trustees shall deliver to the Plan Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, any Collateral or other property of the Debtors held by each respective entity, together with any termination statements, instruments of satisfaction, or releases of all securities interest that may be reasonably required to terminate any related financing statements, mortgages, or similar interest or documents.

This exculpation shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, all other releases, indemnities, exculpations, and any other applicable law or rules protecting such Released Parties from liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Released Parties
39

Pursuant to section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, no holder or purported holder of an Administrative Claim, Claim, or Equity Interest shall be permitted to commence or continue any Cause of Action, employment of process, or any act to collect, offset, or recover any Claim against a Released Party that accrued on or before the Effective Date and that has been released or waived pursuant to this Plan.
I.            Preservation of Insurance.
The Plan Debtors' discharge and release from all Claims, as provided herein, shall not, except as necessary to be consistent with this Plan, diminish or impair the enforceability of any insurance policy that may provide coverage for claims, including Claims, against the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, their current and former directors and officers, or any other Person.
ARTICLE VI.
DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN
A.            Procedures for Treating Disputed Claims.
(a)            Filing Proofs of Claim . Other than with respect to Holders of Class 12 Claims in the case of a Parent-Excluded Plan, Holders of Claims need not file proofs of Claim with the Court, unless otherwise provided herein or by Order of the Court. In the case of a Parent-Excluded Plan, in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will request that the Bankruptcy Court issue an order (the " Bar Date Order ") establishing a date and time by which proofs of Class 12 Claims (other than claims of Governmental Units and taxing authorities) are to be filed.
(b)            In the event that a holder of a Claim elects to file a proof of Claim with the Court, it will be deemed to have consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court for all purposes with respect to the determination, liquidation, allowance, or disallowance of such Claim. With respect to any Claim for which a proof of Claim is required to be filed in accordance with the Plan or by Order of the Court, any and all such proofs of Claim filed after the applicable deadline set herein or by Order of the Court shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice or action, order, or approval of the Court, and holders of such Claims shall not receive any distributions on account of such Claims.
(c)            Disputed Claims . If the Plan Debtors dispute any Claim as to which no proof of Claim is required to be filed, such dispute shall be determined, resolved, or adjudicated, as the case may be, in a manner as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced, provided , however , that the Reorganized Debtors may elect, at their sole option, to object under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code to any Claim or proof of Claim filed by or on behalf of a holder of a Claim, including in the case of a Parent-Excluded Plan, any proof of Class 12 Claim.
(d)            Objections to Claims . Except insofar as a Claim is Allowed under the Plan, the Plan Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any other party in interest shall be entitled to object to Claims. Any objections to Claims shall be filed and served by the Claims Objection Deadline.
40


(e)            Disallowance of Claims . With respect to each Claim (other than a Class 12 Claim in the case of a Parent-Excluded Plan), except as provided herein or  otherwise agreed, any and all proofs of Claims shall be deemed expunged from the claims  register on the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court and the Claim on which such proof of Claim was filed shall be determined, resolved, or adjudicated, as the case may be, in the manner as if the Reorganization Cases  had not been commenced and shall survive the Effective Date as if the Reorganization  Cases had not been commenced.
B.            Allowed Claims and Equity Interests.
(a)            Delivery of Distributions in General. Except as otherwise provided herein, distributions under the Plan shall be made by the applicable Plan Debtor or Reorganized Debtor (or agent or designee of the Plan Debtor or Reorganized Plan Debtor) to the holders of Allowed Claims in all Classes for which a distribution is provided in this Plan at the addresses set forth on the Schedules (if filed) or in the Plan Debtors' books and records, as applicable, unless such addresses are superseded by proofs of Claim or transfers of Claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 by the Record Date (or at the last known addresses of such holders if the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address).
(b)            Delivery of Distributions to 2021 Note Claims . The 2021 Note Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be the holder of all 2021 Note Claims for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder, and all distributions on account of the 2021 Note Claims shall be made to the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee. As soon as practicable following compliance with the requirements set forth in Article VI of the Plan, the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee shall arrange to deliver or direct the delivery of such distributions to or on behalf of the holders of Allowed 2021 Note Claims in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Notes Indenture. Any unclaimed distributions shall be treated as provided in the 2021 Notes Indenture, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and applicable nonbankruptcy law. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, and without limiting the exculpation and release provisions of the Plan, the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability to any person with respect to distributions made or directed to be made by the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee.
(c)            Ocean Business . The Plan Debtors shall continue to market the Ocean Business for sale in accordance with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement; provided that in the event that the Acceptable Ocean Sale is not consummated by the Ocean Business Sale Deadline, the Plan Debtors shall, if requested by Supermajority Supporting Noteholders no later than the Ocean Business Election Deadline, transfer the Ocean Business Equity to an entity designated by the Majority Supporting Noteholders and held by the 2021 Notes Indenture Trustee (the " Ocean Business Transferee ") to receive such Ocean Business Equity on behalf of all 2021 Noteholders (the " Ocean Business Hand Over "). In the event of an Ocean Business Hand Over or consummation of an Acceptable Ocean Sale, all claims between Ocean Business Entities on the one-hand and Other UP Entities on the other hand, shall be waived, eliminated, and discharged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Supermajority Supporting Noteholders (1) do not request to receive the transfer of the Ocean Business Equity on or prior to the Ocean Business Election Deadline or (2) at any time prior to the Ocean Business Election Deadline notify the Debtors that they will not be electing to receive the transfer of the Ocean
41


Business Equity, in each case the Ocean Business Equity shall be retained by Princely International Finance Corp., or other Plan Debtor(s) if New Holdco 1 and the Plan Debtors so agree ( " Ocean Business Retention ") and all claims of the 2021 Noteholders with respect thereto shall be released. In connection with any Ocean Business Hand Over, the Plan Debtors and the Majority Supporting Noteholders shall negotiate in good faith regarding, and enter into, a mutually acceptable Ocean Administrative Services Agreement reasonably acceptable to Sparrow and Southern Cross. The Plan Debtors shall take all actions reasonably necessary to implement the Ocean Business Hand Over as agreed upon with the Supermajority Supporting Noteholders in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement. Following any Ocean Business Hand Over, the Supermajority Supporting Noteholders shall use reasonable commercial efforts to promptly sell the Ocean Business (in consultation with IFC and OFID) with the Ocean Business Subsequent Proceeds to be paid to the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee (i) to deliver or direct the delivery of such distributions to or on behalf of the holders of Allowed 2021 Note Claims or (ii) with respect to the amount of such proceeds equal to the True-Up Amount, to be held in trust for and paid directly to holders of the IFC-OFID Loan Claims, each in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Notes Indenture (if applicable) and the Plan. Any 2021 Noteholder on its own behalf may elect to not receive its Pro Rata share of the Ocean Business Transferee Equity by delivering written notice of such election to the 2021 Notes Indenture Trustee and the Plan Debtors no later than three (3) Business Days after the Ocean Business Election Deadline, in which case such equity will be allocated Pro Rata among the remaining 2021 Noteholders.
(d)            Distribution of Cash. Any payment of Cash by the Plan Debtors or Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall be made at the option and in the sole discretion of the Reorganized Debtors by (i) a check drawn on, or (ii) wire transfer from, a domestic bank selected by the Reorganized Debtors.
(e)            Unclaimed Distributions of Cash . Undeliverable distributions or unclaimed distributions shall remain in the possession of the Debtors until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable or holder accepts distribution, or such distribution reverts back to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends or other accruals of any kind. Such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of six (6) months after having been delivered (or attempted to be delivered) and shall become the property of the Reorganized Debtors notwithstanding any state or other escheat or similar laws to the contrary, and the entitlement by the holder of such unclaimed Allowed Claim to such distribution or any subsequent distribution on account of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest shall be extinguished and forever barred.
(f)            Saturdays , Sundays , or Legal Holidays. If any payment, distribution 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, and shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.
42


(g)            Distributions to Holders of Claims :
i.            Initial Distribution to Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date . On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, or as otherwise expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (or their agent or designee) shall distribute Cash or Collateral, as the case may be, to the holders of Allowed Claims as contemplated herein.
ii.            Claims Allowed after the Effective Date . Each holder of a Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim subsequent to the Effective Date shall receive the distribution to which such holder of an Allowed Claim is entitled as set forth in Article III, and distributions to such holder shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. As soon as practicable after the date that the Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Reorganized Debtors shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under this Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim.
(h)            Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims and Disputed Equity Interests . Except as otherwise agreed to by the relevant parties, no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim, respectively, have been resolved by settlement or Final Order. In the event that there are Disputed Claims requiring adjudication and resolution, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish appropriate reserves for potential payment of such Claims.
(i)            Interest on Claims and Equity Interests . Except as specifically provided for in the Plan, no Claims or Equity Interests, Allowed or otherwise (including Administrative Claims), shall be entitled, under any circumstances, to receive any interest on a Claim or Equity Interests.
C.            Allocation of Consideration.
The aggregate consideration to be distributed to the holders of Allowed Claims in each Class under the Plan shall be treated as first satisfying an amount equal to the principal amount of the Allowed Claim for such holders, and any remaining consideration as satisfying accrued, but unpaid and interest, as applicable.
D.            Estimation.
Before or after the Effective Date, the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to), at any time, request that the Court estimate (i) any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) any contingent or unliquidated Claim or Equity Interest pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, for any reason, regardless of whether the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have previously objected to such Claim or Equity Interest or whether the Court has ruled on any such objection. The Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim or Equity Interest at any time, including during proceedings concerning any objection to such Claim or Equity Interest. In the event that the Court estimates any Claim or Equity Interest, such estimated amount shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or Equity Interest or a maximum limitation on such Claim or Equity Interest for all purposes under the Plan
43


(including for purposes of distributions), as determined by the Court. If the estimated amount constitutes the maximum limitation on such Claim or Equity Interest, the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, may elect to pursue supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of such Claim or Equity Interest. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another.
E.            Insured Claims.
If any portion of an Allowed Claim is an Insured Claim, no distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of such Allowed Claim until the holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to any applicable insurance policies. To the extent that the Plan Debtors' insurers agree to satisfy a Claim in whole or in part, then immediately upon such agreement, the portion of such Claim so satisfied may be expunged without an objection to such Claim having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.
ARTICLE VII.
RETENTION OF JURISDICTION

(a)            to resolve any matters related to (i) the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to which any Plan Debtor or Reorganized Debtor is party or with respect to which any Plan Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may be liable, and to hear, determine, and, if necessary, liquidate, any Claims arising therefrom, including Cure Claims pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) the Reorganized Debtors amending, modifying, or supplementing, after the Effective Date, pursuant to Article VIII, any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases to the Rejection Schedule or otherwise, and (iii) any dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or expired;

44


(f)            to enter and implement such orders as may be appropriate in the event the Confirmation Order is for any reason stayed, revoked, reversed, modified, or vacated;
(g)            to issue such orders in aid of execution of the Plan, to the extent authorized by section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(m)            to hear and determine disputes arising in connection with compensation and reimbursement of expenses of professionals for services rendered during the period commencing on the Commencement Date through and including the Effective Date;
(n)            to hear and determine any Causes of Action preserved under the Plan;
(o)            to hear and determine any matter regarding the existence, nature, and scope of the Debtors' discharge;
(p)            to hear and determine any matter, case, controversy, suit, dispute, or Cause of Action (i) regarding the existence, nature, and scope of the discharge, releases, injunctions, and exculpation provided under the Plan, and (ii) enter such orders as may be necessary or appropriate to implement such discharge, releases, injunctions, exculpations, and other provisions;
(q)            to enter a final decree closing the Reorganization Cases;
(r)            to issue injunctions, enter and implement other orders, or take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to restrain interference by any entity with consummation or enforcement of the Plan;
(s)            to adjudicate any and all disputes arising from or relating to distributions under the Plan;
45


(t)            to enforce all orders previously entered by the Court; and
(u)            to hear any other matter not inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code.
ARTICLE VIII.
EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A.            Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
Except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease not previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected shall be deemed automatically assumed pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless any such executory contract or unexpired lease: (i) is expressly identified on the Rejection Schedule, (ii) has been previously rejected by the Plan Debtors by Final Order or has been rejected by the Plan Debtors by order of the Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date, (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject pending as of the Effective Date, or (iv) is otherwise rejected pursuant to the terms herein.
The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Court approving such assumptions pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date or as otherwise set forth in the Plan Supplement.
B.            Cure Claims.
At the election of the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed under the Plan shall be satisfied pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code in one of the following ways: (i) payment of the Cure Claim in Cash on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the later of (A) thirty (30) days after the determination of the Cure Claim, and (B) the Effective Date or such other date as may be set by the Court or (ii) on such other terms as agreed to by the applicable Plan Debtor or Reorganized Debtor and the non-Plan Debtor counterparty to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. In the event of a dispute pertaining to assumption or assignment, the Cure Claim payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. No later than the Commencement Date, to the extent not previously filed with the Court and served on affected counterparties, the Plan Debtors may provide for notices of proposed assumption and proposed cure amounts to be sent to applicable contract and lease counterparties, together with procedures for objecting thereto and resolution of disputes by the Court. Any objection by a contract or lease counterparty to a proposed assumption or related cure amount must be filed, served, and actually received by the Plan Debtors by the date on which objections to Confirmation are due (or such other date as may be provided in the applicable assumption notice). Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or cure amount will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or cure amount.
The only adequate assurance of future performance shall be the promise of the applicable Reorganized Debtor to perform all obligations under any executory contract or unexpired lease under this Plan.
46


ASSUMPTION OF ANY EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE PURSUANT TO THE PLAN OR OTHERWISE SHALL RESULT IN THE FULL RELEASE AND SATISFACTION OF ANY CLAIMS OR DEFAULTS, WHETHER MONETARY OR NONMONETARY, INCLUDING DEFAULTS OF PROVISIONS RESTRICTING THE CHANGE IN CONTROL OR OWNERSHIP INTEREST COMPOSITION OR OTHER BANKRUPTCY-RELATED DEFAULTS, ARISING UNDER ANY ASSUMED EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE DATE THE PLAN DEBTORS OR THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS ASSUME SUCH EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE. ANY PROOFS OF CLAIM FILED WITH RESPECT TO AN EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE THAT HAS BEEN ASSUMED SHALL BE DEEMED DISALLOWED AND EXPUNGED, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO OR ACTION, ORDER OR APPROVAL OF THE COURT.
Performance of obligations arising under insurance policies assumed by the Plan Debtors before the Effective Date shall be adequately assured in accordance with any order authorizing such assumption.
C.            Reservation of Rights.
Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, as applicable, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Plan Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. In the event a written objection is filed with the Court as to whether a contract or lease is executory or unexpired, the right of the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to move to assume or reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after the entry of a Final Order by the Court determining that the contract or lease is executory or unexpired, in which case the deemed assumptions and rejections provided for in the Plan shall not apply to such contract or lease.
D.            Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
(a)            Rejection Schedule. The Plan Debtors will file the Rejection Schedule, if any, with the Court no later than five (5) Business Days before the deadline to object to the Plan. The Rejection Schedule, if any, will include (a) the name of the non-Plan Debtor counterparty, (b) the legal description of the contract or lease to be rejected, and (c) the proposed effective date of rejection (if not the Effective Date). On or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Plan Debtors will serve a Rejection Notice, if any, as well as notice of filing of the Rejection Schedule, if any, upon each non-Plan Debtor counterparty listed thereon that will describe the procedures by which such parties may object to the proposed rejection of their respective Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and explain how such disputes will be resolved by the Court if the parties are not able to resolve a dispute consensually. The deadline for filing and serving an objection to a rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease shall be 4:00 pm (prevailing Eastern Time) on the 10th calendar day after the Rejection Schedule is filed and notice thereof is mailed. If no such objection is timely filed, such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed rejected as of the effective date stated on the Rejection Schedule. If after a reasonable period of
47


time the parties cannot mutually resolve a timely filed objection to such rejection, the Debtors, in consultation with the Bankruptcy Court, shall set a schedule including a deadline for the Debtors to reply to the objection and a date for the Bankruptcy Court to hear the objection.
The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Court approving such rejections pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date or as otherwise set forth in the Plan Supplement.
(b)            Rejection Damage Claims. All Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to the Plan must be served upon the Debtors and their counsel on or before the date that is ten (10) calendar days after the effective date of such rejection. Any Claims not filed within such time shall be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors, their estates, the Reorganized Debtors, and their property. For the avoidance of doubt, all Allowed Rejection Damage Claims shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims or General Unsecured Claims – Cornamusa, as the case may be.
E.            Insurance Policies.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all of the Plan Debtors' insurance policies and any agreements, documents or instruments relating thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Plan Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto.
F.            Post-Petition Contracts and Leases.
All contracts, agreements, and leases that were entered into by a Plan Debtor or assumed by a Plan Debtor after the Commencement Date shall be deemed assigned by that Plan Debtor to the applicable Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date.

D.            Vacatur of Confirmation Order.

The Plan will have no force or effect unless and until the Effective Date. Prior to the Effective Date, none of the filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or action taken by the Plan Debtors with respect to the Plan will be, or will be deemed to be, an admission or waiver of any rights of any Plan Debtor or any other party with respect to any Claims or Equity Interests or any other matter.

46

Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment or unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.05 and proposes to settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding.  If (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days of any Claim Notice, or (ii) legal counsel for the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party that there are or may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party or to other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, which, if the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party were to be represented by the same counsel, would constitute a conflict of interest for such counsel or prejudice prosecution of the defenses available to such Indemnified Party, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of a Third Party Claim and fail to diligently prosecute such defense, then in each such case the Indemnified Party, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, may employ its own counsel and control the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party (but in no event more than one counsel for all of the Indemnified Parties in any one jurisdiction); and the Indemnified Party shall be promptly reimbursed for any such fees, charges and disbursements, as and when incurred.  Whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party controls the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense thereof.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and provision to the counsel of the controlling Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge a Third Party Claim (other than any such Third Party Claim in which criminal conduct is alleged) without the Indemnified Party's consent if such settlement, compromise or discharge (A) constitutes a complete and unconditional discharge and release of the Indemnified Party, and (B) provides for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages and such monetary damages are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.
(b)  In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party, which shall include reasonable detail of the claim and, if reasonably practicable, the estimated amount of Losses sustained, promptly after the Indemnified Party obtains knowledge of the existence thereof; provided , however , that failure to give such Claim Notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party establishes that the defense of such claim is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure, in which case such claim shall be reduced to the extent of such actual prejudice.
Section 8.06  Remedies .  Except for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law, claims of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the Purchasers and the Company
47

acknowledge and agree that following the Closing, the indemnification provisions in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchasers and the Company, as applicable, for any breach by the other Party of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and for any failure by the other Party to perform and comply with any covenants and agreements in this Agreement.
Section 8.07  Miscellaneous .   For Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat all payments made pursuant to any indemnification obligation under this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(e)  by written notice by the Purchasers if a breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) shall have occurred that would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause the condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) not to be satisfied, and such condition is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within twenty (20) days (but not later than the Termination Date) of receipt of written notice by the Purchaser to the Company of such breach or failure; provided that none of
48

the Purchasers is then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 not to be satisfied;
(f)  by written notice by the Purchasers if the Bankruptcy Court enters an order, or if the Company files a motion seeking entry of an order, approving any sale or other disposition of the River Business (other than a sale or other disposition permitted by this Agreement) of (i) any material portion of the assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (ii) any equity interests in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to any Person(s) other than the Purchasers or any of their affiliates;
(g)  by written notice by the Purchasers if a trustee is appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Section 1104 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(h)  by written notice by the Purchasers if any Chapter 11 Case is dismissed or converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and neither such dismissal or conversion contemplates the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or
(i)  by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchasers, provided that all independent directors of the Company shall have affirmatively agreed that such termination is in the best interests of the Company.
Section 9.02  Effect of Termination .  In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.01 , this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party or its Affiliates or Representatives in respect thereof, except that (a) Section 5.03 , this Section 9.02 and Article X shall survive any termination and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document occurring prior to such termination.

Section 10.03  Public Announcements .  The initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a release mutually agreed to by the Company and the Purchasers and shall be issued promptly after the execution hereof at a time mutually agreed to by the Company and the Purchasers.  Thereafter, none of the Parties shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Party unless such press release or public announcement is required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, in which case the Parties shall, to the extent practicable, consult with each other as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication.
Section 10.04  Severability .  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Section 10.05  Entire Agreement .  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
52

and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Section 10.06  Assignment .  This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of the Company and the Purchasers (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Company or the Purchasers), as the case may be, and any such purported assignment shall be void ab initio ; provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights, interests and obligations of the Purchasers hereunder may be assigned, without the prior written consent of the Company, to one or more of the Purchasers' or Guarantors' Affiliates as designated by the Purchasers or such Guarantor; provided , that no such assignment shall relieve either of the Purchasers or any of the Guarantors of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 10.07  Amendment .  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by Company and the Purchasers that expressly references the Section(s) of this Agreement to be amended or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.08 .  Any amendment or modification to the Guaranty in Section 10.17 shall be governed by Section 10.17(d) .
Section 10.08  Waiver .  The Purchasers may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Company, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or in any document delivered by such Party pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the Company or conditions to such Party's obligations contained herein and (b) the Company may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Purchasers, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained herein or in any document delivered by the Purchasers pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the Purchasers or conditions to the Purchasers' obligations contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby.  Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.  The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.  Any waiver of any term or condition in Section 10.17 shall be governed by Section 10.17(e) .
Section 10.09  No Third Party Beneficiaries .  Except as provided for in Sections 5.06 , 8.02 , 8.03,   8.04 and 10.17 , this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 10.10  Specific Performance .  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and that any nonperformance or breach of this Agreement by any Party could not be adequately compensated
53

by monetary damages alone and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law.  Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which the Parties may be entitled, at Law or in equity (including monetary damages), such Party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking.
Section 10.11  Governing Law .  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws thereof which may require the application of the law of another jurisdiction.  All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York; provided , however , that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York.  Consistent with the preceding sentence, the Parties hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by either Party and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.  The Parties hereby agree that the mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.02 , or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof and hereby waive any objections to service accomplished in the manner herein provided.
Section 10.12  Waiver of Jury Trial .  EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR LIABILITY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR LIABILITY, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.12 .
Section 10.13  Effect of Investigation .  All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document shall not be affected or deemed waived by (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchasers (whether before, on or after the date hereof or before, on or after the Closing Date), (ii) knowledge obtained (or capable of being obtained) as a result of such investigation or
54

otherwise, or (iii) the Purchasers' participation in the preparation of the schedules pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 10.14  Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by scanned or facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, portable document format, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement

Section 10.16  No Recourse .  This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Claim or Action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any Party hereto or of any Affiliate of any Party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any Liability for any obligations or Liabilities of any Party hereto under this Agreement or for any Claim or Action based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 10.17  Guaranty .
(a)  Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees severally to the Company in accordance with their Guaranteed Percentage the full and punctual payment of the Purchase Price and any liability of the Purchasers arising from a breach of the Agreement prior to termination as contemplated by Section 9.02(b) when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the " Guaranteed Obligation ") (collectively, the " Guaranty ").  Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranty constitutes an absolute, present, primary, continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment by the Purchasers of the Guaranteed Obligation when due under this Agreement and not of collection only and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce such payment by a guaranteed party upon any other condition or contingency.  Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any right to require a proceeding first against the Purchasers.  Except as expressly set forth herein, the Guaranteed Obligation shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation or impairment for any reason (other than by indefeasible payment or performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligation) and shall not be subject to (i) any discharge of the Purchasers from the Guaranteed Obligation in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding (except by indefeasible payment or performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligation) or (ii) any other circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute an equitable or legal discharge of either of the Guarantors as guarantor
55

(iii)  Litigation .  No Action by or against such Guarantor is pending or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened, which could affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.17 .
(c)  This Guaranty and all of the Guarantors' obligations under this Section 10.17 shall terminate and expire on the earlier of (i) the date this Agreement is terminated in
56

accordance with Article IX ; provided , however , that the Guarantors' obligations under this Guaranty with respect to any liability of the Purchasers for a breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of the Agreement as described in Section 9.02(b) shall not terminate or expire and shall continue notwithstanding termination of this Agreement or (ii) the Closing Date (" Expiration Date ").  No claims may be made under this Guaranty after the Expiration Date.
(d)  The maximum aggregate liability of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be $73.0 million,; plus, in the event of a UP Offshore Purchase up to an additional $2.5 million.

The Supporting Creditors (as defined in the RSA) are intended third party beneficiaries of Section 10.17 (but only as it relates to the River Business); provided that any obligations of the Guarantors hereunder and under the RSA (to the extent related to the River Business) shall be without duplication and shall not be in excess of $73.0 million in the aggregate.
(f)  Any waiver of any term or condition of this Guaranty must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.  Any waiver of any term or condition of this Guaranty shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Guaranty.

(j)   Accuracy of Information . The Company represents that none of the materials and information provided in writing by or on behalf of the Company to the Supporting Noteholders or the IFC-OFID Lenders in connection with the Restructuring contemplated in this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(l)   Ocean Business .  The assets (including any and all existing rights, permits, approvals and authorizations necessary to operate the Company's ocean business) and liabilities of the entities set forth on Schedule 3 represent in all material respects the Company's ocean business and such assets and liabilities together with (i) the services to be provided under the Management Services Agreement, if applicable, and (ii) the services of a chief executive officer are sufficient to operate such ocean business as a standalone business in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice, including those rights, permits, approvals, temporary flagging rights and authorizations necessary for the operation of the ocean business in the jurisdiction in which it operates (i.e. Argentina) as currently conducted, and all such assets, rights, permits, approvals, flagging rights and authorizations  shall be transferred to or retained by the Ocean Business, as applicable, pursuant to the Ocean Business Restructuring and transferred to any purchaser of the Ocean Business in connection with any Acceptable Ocean Sale or, if applicable, the Ocean Business Transferee as part of the Ocean Business Hand Over.  The Company represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, the Ocean Business has a current cash balance of no less than $2.0 million. To the best of the Company's knowledge, the Ocean Business Hand Over will not impose upon any Noteholder or IFC-OFID Lender any regulatory or reporting requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Ocean Business operates.
16.   Direction to Indenture Trustee and Security Trustees .
(a)   The Supporting Noteholders agree that, as long as this Agreement has not been terminated, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, this Agreement shall be deemed a direction to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture to take all actions consistent with this Agreement to support consummation of the Restructuring and the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Documents so long as such direction by the Supporting Noteholders does not give rise to any additional indemnification or other material obligations to the Indenture Trustee.
21


(b)   Each IFC-OFID Lender agrees that, as long as this Agreement has not been terminated, to the extent permitted by the Collateral Trust Agreements, this Agreement shall be deemed a direction to each Security Trustee under their respective Collateral Trust Agreement to take all actions consistent with this Agreement to support the consummation of the Restructuring and the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Documents so long as such direction by the applicable IFC-OFID Lender does not give rise to any additional indemnification or other obligations to either Security Trustee.
17.   Tax Implications .  Each Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, including by agreeing to, executing and delivering any necessary documents consistent with the terms of the Restructuring and the Term Sheet, to minimize the tax ramifications of the Restructuring, including, but not limited to, any cancellation of debt income; provided   that such actions do not require such Party to incur or assume any material obligation or liability or otherwise have a material adverse effect on such Party.
18.   Enforceability .  Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning the Restructuring and in contemplation of the Chapter 11 Cases, and (a) the rights granted in this Agreement are enforceable by each signatory hereto without approval of the Bankruptcy Court and (b) the Company waives any right to assert that the exercise of such rights by Southern Cross, any Supporting Party or the Indenture Trustee violates the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
19.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction .
(a)   THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISION WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
(b)   By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that from the Petition Date any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, shall be brought in the Bankruptcy Court.  By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding, and waives any objection it may have to venue or the convenience of the forum.
(c)   In the event the Bankruptcy Court does not have or refuses to exercise jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement and any disputes arising therefrom, any legal action, suit, or proceeding against or among the Parties with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, may be brought in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the District Court for the Southern District of New York, as applicable.
20.   Entire Agreement .  This Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exhibits) constitute the entire agreement with respect to the Restructuring and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings of each of the Parties, whether oral, written, or implied, as to the subject matter hereof.
22


21.   Amendment or Waiver .  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented unless such modification, amendment, or supplement is in writing and has been signed by the Company and the Supporting Parties; provided   that (a) no such modification waiver, amendment, or supplement shall without the consent of each of the Supporting Noteholders reduce the amount of cash consideration to be distributed on account of the Notes as set forth in the Term Sheet and (b) the Majority Supporting Noteholders and the IFC-OFID Lenders may amend the definitions of "Initial IFC/OFID Cash Recovery" and "Initial Noteholder Cash Recovery" without the consent of any other Party.   No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver be deemed a continuing waiver (unless such waiver expressly provides otherwise).
22.   Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative .  This Agreement is intended as a binding commitment enforceable in accordance with its terms.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the exact nature and extent of damages resulting from a breach of this Agreement are uncertain at the time of entering into this Agreement and that any such breach of this Agreement would result in damages that would be difficult to determine with certainty.  It is understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any such breach of this Agreement, and that any non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach, and each Party further agrees to waive, and to cause each of their representatives to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with requesting such remedy.  Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for the breach of this Agreement by any Party or its representatives.  All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Party hereto shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy hereunder.
23.   Construction .  This Agreement constitutes a fully negotiated agreement among commercially sophisticated parties and therefore shall not be construed or interpreted for or against any Party, and any rule or maxim of construction to such effect shall not apply to this Agreement.
24.   Receipt of Information; Representation by Counsel .  Each Party acknowledges that it has received adequate information to enter into this Agreement and that it has been, or has had an opportunity to be, represented by counsel in connection with the Restructuring, this Agreement, the Term Sheet and the transactions contemplated herein and therein.  Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived.
25.   Binding Effect; Successor and Assigns .  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, transferees, executors, administrators, and representatives, in each case solely as such parties are permitted under this Agreement.
26.   Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  The signatures of all of the Parties need not appear on the same counterpart.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page of this Agreement.
23


27.   Headings; Schedules and Exhibits .  The headings of the sections, paragraphs and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.  References to sections, unless otherwise indicated, are references to sections of this Agreement.
28.   Severability and Construction .  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect if the essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for each Party remain valid, binding, and enforceable.
29.   Waiver of Jury Trial .  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR IN RESPECT OF ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY OR ARISING OUT OF ANY EXERCISE BY ANY PARTY OF ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING, WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.  THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
30.   Notices .  All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the Party to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day; (c) three days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

32.   No Waiver of Participation and Reservation of Rights .
(a)   Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and in any amendment among the Parties, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each Party to protect and preserve, its rights, remedies, and interests, including any claims against the other Parties (or their affiliates or subsidiaries) and any defenses to any claims of other Parties.  If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in the Term Sheet are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, each Party fully reserves any and all of their rights remedies, or interests, including with respect to the Company's use or disposition of cash collateral.
(b)   With respect to the IFC-OFID Lenders, no provision of this Agreement shall limit or shall be construed to be a waiver of any right or privilege of (i) the IFC Lender under its Articles of Establishment and each applicable international convention or applicable law or (ii) the OFID Lender under The Agreement Establishing the OPEC Fund for International Development, the OFID Lender's Headquarters Agreement, each applicable international convention or treaty and the Agreement for the Encouragement and Protection of Investment between the OFID Lender and Paraguay.

35.   Disclosure of Holdings .  Unless required by a court of competent jurisdiction, no Party shall disclose the principal amount of the debt instruments held by any Supporting Noteholder or IFC-OFID Lender to any person other than its legal counsel.

(f)     Ownership by Parties .
(i)     Each Offshore Supporting Lender represents and warrants that as of the date such Offshore Supporting Lender executes this Agreement: (A) such Offshore Supporting Lender either (1) is the legal and beneficial owner of the Exposures set forth on its signature page, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal or other limitation on disposition of any kind, in each case that is reasonably expected to adversely affect such Offshore Supporting Lender's performance of its obligations contained in this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed, or (2) has investment or voting discretion or control with respect to discretionary accounts for the Exposures set forth on its signature page and has the power and authority to bind the beneficial owner(s) of such claims and interests to the terms of this Agreement, in each case free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal or other limitation on disposition of any kind, in each case that is reasonably expected to adversely affect such Offshore Supporting Lender's performance of its obligations contained in this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed, and (B) such Offshore Supporting Lender (subject to internal credit committee approval) has full power and authority to vote on and consent to all matters concerning the Exposures set forth on its signature page and to exchange, assign, and transfer its claims.
(ii)     Southern Cross represents and warrants that as of the date Southern Cross executes this Agreement: (A) Southern Cross is the ultimate beneficial owner of 119,266,821 shares of common stock in the Parent (the "SC Equity Interests"), free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal or other limitation on disposition of any kind, in each case that is reasonably expected to adversely affect Southern Cross' performance of its obligations contained in this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed, and (B) Southern Cross, through its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, has full power and authority to vote on and consent to all matters concerning the SC Equity Interests and to exchange, assign and transfer its claims.

        17.     Tax Implications . Each Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, including by agreeing to, executing and delivering any necessary documents consistent with the terms of the this Agreement and the Restructuring, to minimize the tax ramifications of the Restructuring, including, but not limited to, any cancellation of debt income; provided that such actions do not require such Party to incur or assume any material obligation or liability or otherwise have a material adverse effect on such Party.
        18.     Governing Law ; Jurisdiction .
(a)     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISION WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding, and waives any objection it may have to venue or the convenience of the forum.
(c)     With respect to any legal action, suit or proceeding in which neither of the Parent or the River Supporting Party is a named party, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any such legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, generally and

This Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exhibits) constitute the entire agreement with respect to the Restructuring and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings of each of the Parties, whether oral, written, or implied, as to the subject matter hereof.
20.     Amendment or Waiver . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement, including any Exhibits or Schedules hereto, may not be waived, modified, amended, or supplemented unless such waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement is in writing and has been signed by (a) the Offshore Supporting Lenders or, upon direction from the Offshore Supporting Lenders in accordance with the Facility Agreements, the Agents, (b) the Parent and (c), in the case that any such waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement would have a material, adverse and disproportionate effect on a Party relative to the other Parties, such Party.

21.     Specific Performance ; Remedies Cumulative . This Agreement is intended as a binding commitment enforceable in accordance with its terms. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the exact nature and extent of damages resulting from a breach of this Agreement are uncertain at the time of entering into this Agreement and that any such breach of this Agreement would result in damages that would be difficult to determine with certainty. It is understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any such breach of this Agreement, and that any non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach, and each Party further agrees to waive, and to cause each of their representatives to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with requesting such remedy. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for the breach of this Agreement by any Party or its representatives. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Party hereto shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy hereunder.
22.     Construction . This Agreement constitutes a fully negotiated agreement among commercially sophisticated parties and therefore shall not be construed or interpreted for or against any Party, and any rule or maxim of construction to such effect shall not apply to this Agreement.
23.     Receipt of Information ; Representation by Counsel . Each Party acknowledges that it has received adequate information to enter into this Agreement and that it has been, or has had an opportunity to be, represented by counsel in connection with the Restructuring, this Agreement, the Term Sheet and the transactions contemplated herein and therein. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived.
24.     Binding Effect ; Successor and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, transferees, executors, administrators, and representatives, in each case solely as such parties are permitted under this Agreement.
20


25.     Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The signatures of all of the Parties need not appear on the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page of this Agreement.
26.     Severability and Construction . If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect if the essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for each Party remain valid, binding, and enforceable.
        27.     Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR IN RESPECT OF ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY OR ARISING OUT OF ANY EXERCISE BY ANY PARTY OF ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING, WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER. THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
        28.     Notices . All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the Notice Party (as defined below) to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day; (c) three days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the parties identified on Schedule 2 hereto (each, a " Notice Party ") at the addresses set forth therein.
        29.     No Third-Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto (or any other party that may become a party to this Agreement) and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.
        30.     No Waiver of Participation and Reservation of Rights . Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and in any amendment among the Parties approved in accordance with the terms hereof, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each Party to protect and preserve, its rights, remedies, and interests, including any claims against the other Parties (or their affiliates or subsidiaries) and any defenses to any claims of other Parties. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in the Term Sheet are not consummated, or if this
21


Agreement is terminated for any reason, each Party fully reserves any and all of their rights remedies, or interests.
31.     No Admissions . This Agreement shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever. Each Party denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert. No Party shall have, by reason of this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Party or any person or entity, and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Party any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. This Agreement and the Restructuring are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute among the Offshore Obligors, Southern Cross and the Offshore Supporting Creditors. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto and related to the Restructuring shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding involving enforcement of the terms of this Agreement.
        32.      Public Disclosure of Agreement . The Company may disclose the existence of and material terms of this Agreement and the Term Sheet (a) in a press release or public filing to the extent required by law (provided that the Parent has provided a copy of such press release or public filing to the Offshore Supporting Creditors reasonably in advance of its publication and take reasonable comments from the Offshore Supporting Creditors on such press release or public filing received prior to the date and time any such press release or public filing must be released or filed in accordance with applicable law or under the circumstances, unless impracticable with respect to the Company's compliance with its legal obligations), (b) to its affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, managers, counsel, advisors and auditors of the Company and its affiliates (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or (c) to any other person or entity solely with the written consent of the Offshore Supporting Creditors. Except as set forth in the sentence immediately above, without the consent of any Offshore Supporting Creditor, the Offshore Obligors (other than the Parent), the Southern Cross Supporting Parties and the River Supporting Party may not publish or disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may make any disclosures required to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation (i) the public filing in the Bankruptcy Court of this Agreement, the Amended River Silo Plan, the River Silo Plan Disclosure Statement, and the River Silo Plan Disclosure Statement Supplement, (ii) the inclusion in the Solicitation materials of this Agreement, the Amended River Silo Plan, and the Supplemented River Silo Plan Disclosure Statement, and (iii) public filing of this Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a 6-K.

2.           Objections to Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report :
Unless an Agent has submitted to UP Offshore Bahamas (with a copy to each other Agent and the Common Agent) a written objection (an "Objection") to any Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report within ten (10) days of receipt thereof, such Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report for the relevant quarterly period shall be deemed "Final."
 
If an Objection is timely delivered, UP Offshore Bahamas, the Common Agent and the Agents shall work to consensually resolve the Objection promptly. If the Objection is not consensually resolved within ten (10) days of its delivery, the Objection shall be referred to a financial advisor, which financial advisor shall be selected jointly by UP Offshore Bahamas and the Common Agent and will act as an expert and not an arbitrator and will resolve the Objection within fifteen (15) days of his appointment. Such determination shall be binding on all parties and on the date on which such determination is made, the Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report shall be deemed Final. Where an Objection to a Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report has been delivered and the Objection has not been consensually resolved within ten (10) days of its delivery, the Free Cash Flow Sweep shall occur the date that is thirty (30) days after delivery of the Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report (in an amount equal to the Free Cash Flow set out in the contested Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report delivered by UP Offshore Bahamas) and New Holdco shall make such payments from the Free Cash Flow Concentration Accounts as required under the Payment Waterfall immediately as if the Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report had become Final. In the event that the financial advisor subsequently resolves the Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report in a manner which results in there being more Free Cash Flow than originally reported in a Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report, such additional amount shall be immediately swept into the relevant Free Cash Flow Concentration Account for payment to the Lenders in accordance with the Payment Waterfall on the next quarterly amortization and interest payment date.
 
C.           Cash Management, Payment of Operating Expenses and UPO Overhead Allocation, and Payment Waterfall
 
1.           Payments of Operating Expenses from Current Accounts on a Current Basis : 5
Beginning on the Effective Date, during any period each Offshore Entity shall pay from its Current Accounts Operating Expenses in respect of the Vessels and Direct Overhead Expenses in the case of Operating Expenses.
 
Subject to the foregoing solely as it relates to UP OPAL and UP RUBI, in the event that (i) there are Operating Expense Shortfalls (as defined below) in respect of UP OPAL or (ii) after a period of three years, Operating Expense Shortfalls in respect of UP RUBI, as applicable, for a period of 6 consecutive months, 6 then without consent of the Common Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) no payments of amounts from any Deposit Account of any Offshore Entity shall be made to fund such Shortfalls (as defined below) and the owner of UP OPAL or UP RUBI, as applicable, shall dispose of such vessel in accordance with the applicable covenants regarding the disposition of UP OPAL and the disposition of UP RUBI in Section III.B.9. and 10. below.
 
"Operating Expense Shortfalls" shall mean, for any period, if the daily rate payable in respect of any Vessel under any charter or other contract of employment under which such Vessel is employed does not exceed the Operating Expenses (including Direct Overhead Expenses) for such Vessel.
 
At the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Effective Date, an amount equal to the sum of (i) Agents Fees and Expenses for such quarter, plus (ii) to the extent payable for such quarter, subject to the thresholds set forth in this Term Sheet, (a) the UP OPAL Cumulative Cash Flow Amount, (b) the interest expense for each Facility, (c) the scheduled amortization expense for each Facility, and (d) Excess Cash will be swept into the relevant Free Cash Flow Concentration Account and thereafter distributed to the Lenders pursuant to the Payment Waterfall (as defined below) set forth in Section II.C.3. hereof (the "Free Cash Flow Sweep").
 
Amounts swept via the Free Cash Flow Sweep and denominated in U.S. dollars or any amounts denominated in currencies other than reais or U.S. dollars will be swept into the USD Free Cash Flow Concentration Account (with amounts in any non-U.S. dollar currency converted to U.S. dollars using the relevant FX Spot Rate).  Amounts swept via the Free Cash Flow Sweep and denominated in reais will be swept into the BR Free Cash Flow Concentration Account.  Upon the date on which the Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report for any applicable fiscal quarter ended after the Effective Date is deemed Final or as otherwise provided in II.B.2, all amounts in the BR Free Cash Flow Concentration Account shall be converted to U.S. dollars using the relevant FX Spot Rate and transferred to the USD Free Cash Flow Concentration Account prior to such amounts being distributed via the Payment Waterfall (or shall be converted to USD and distributed via the Payment Waterfall pursuant to other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Common Agent). If, as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange ratios, the amount on deposit in the BR Free Cash Flow Concentration Account is less than the amount (in U.S. dollars) transferred to such account via the Free Cash Flow Sweep, an additional amount shall be swept into the USD Free Cash Flow Concentration Account from the Current Accounts in the amount of such shortfall.  If there are not sufficient funds in the Current Accounts to fund such shortfall, UP Offshore Bahamas shall pay such shortfall amount to the Common Agent within 30 days for distribution to the Lenders which would have been paid under the Payment Waterfall if such fluctuations in currency exchange ratios had not occurred.



5    Explanatory Note: This Section contemplates that all Operating Expenses, Direct Operating Expenses and debt service due under the BNDES Loan Agreement and the Guarantee Facility Agreement will be paid on a rolling, current basis, in the ordinary course and in accordance with the payment schedules under each Third Party Expense Contract, the BNDES Loan Agreement, and the Guarantee Facility Agreement, to the extent that there is sufficient Total Revenue to make such payments.
6    In the event that the Operating Expense Shortfalls in respect of UP OPAL or the Operating Expense Shortfalls in respect of UP RUBI are the result of either such vessel being off-contract and either or both such vessels have been tendered for re-employment on or prior to the expiration of such 6-month period, upon prior written approval by the Common Agent granted in its reasonable discretion and subject to the Re-Tendering Covenant (as defined below), such 6-month period may be extended for a reasonable period ending no later than the date on which the results of such tender have been announced.
 
17

2.           Payment of UPO Overhead Expenses :
In each fiscal quarter commencing after the Effective Date, immediately prior to the distribution of cash from the USD Free Cash Flow Concentration Account pursuant to the Payment Waterfall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, New Holdco shall pay, for the prior fiscal quarter in arrears, the amount of UPO Overhead Expenses and Severance Costs due and payable (in each case, subject to the UPO Overhead Expenses Cap as determined according Section I.B.1 hereof); provided that the UPO Overhead Expenses and Severance Costs due and payable may only be paid from the Current Accounts if the sum of all cash in the Current Accounts and the Minimum Liquidity Account on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter equals at least $5,500,000 (the "Overhead Expenses Payment Threshold") and only in an amount equal to the excess over the Overhead Expenses Payment Threshold on deposit on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in the Current Accounts and Minimum Liquidity Account; provided, further, that for purposes of determining whether the Overhead Expenses Payment Threshold has been satisfied, amounts in currencies other than the U.S. dollar will be included based on a conversion value in U.S. dollars using the FX Spot Rate on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. If the funds in the Current Accounts are insufficient to pay the full amount of UPO Overhead Expenses and Severance Costs in any fiscal quarter, subject to the Minimum Liquidity Covenant, such unpaid UPO Overhead Expenses and Severance Costs (the "Deferred UPO Overhead Expenses") shall be paid in subsequent fiscal quarters from the Current Accounts to the extent such amounts would have been permitted to be paid in accordance with the requirements set forth above in the quarter in which such UPO Overhead Expense was incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall not increase the UPO Overhead Expenses Cap for Overhead Expenses incurred during such subsequent fiscal quarter. No default shall arise as a result of Deferred UPO Overhead Expenses and no interest shall accrue on any Deferred UPO Overhead Expenses and the Allocation Agreement shall expressly so provide.
 
 
3.           Payment Waterfall of Free Cash Flow of the Vessels :
Upon the date on which the Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report for any applicable fiscal quarter ended after the Effective Date is deemed Final (or, in the event that an Objection to such Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report has been delivered and not consensually resolved within ten (10) days of the delivery of such Objection, the date that is thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Cash Flow and Overhead Expenses Report as provided under Section II.B.2 hereof) and, after amounts required to be paid or transferred pursuant to Sections II.C.1-2 above have been paid or transferred, the amount on deposit in the USD Free Cash Flow Concentration Account shall be used to make payments to the Common Agent for further distribution to the Agents (for distribution to the applicable Lenders in accordance with their applicable percentages) in the amounts and order specified below (the "Payment Waterfall"):

In the event that (a) the Common Agent or any Agent exercises foreclosure rights and consummates a foreclosure sale (or receives insurance proceeds and condemnation awards), or (b) the Common Agent or any Agent receives insurance proceeds from a total loss or any disposition in violation of the Common Terms Agreement or the Amended Loan Agreements, in each case, in respect of any Vessel (which shall not include UP OPAL or UP RUBI for purposes of this covenant) (or 100% of the equity interests of the Offshore Entity which owns such Vessel), the proceeds of such sale (or such proceeds) shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) an amount equal to fees and expenses in connection with such sale, if any, (ii) an amount up to the amount of principal and other amounts due under the Amended Loan Agreement, the obligations in respect of which the sold Vessel secured, to the Agent or Agents for such Amended Loan Agreement for the permanent reduction of principal, with such payments to be applied in inverse order of maturity under the Amended Loan Agreements against the Attributable Loan Amount (as defined in III.B.14) for such Vessel (and with respect to Vessels with first lien, second lien and/or third lien priority claims, to repay such indebtedness in the order of priority), (iii) an amount up to the amount of principal and other amounts due under the Amended Loan Agreement the obligations in respect of which the sold Vessel secured that were not otherwise paid pursuant to (ii) above, to the Agent or Agents for such Amended Loan Agreement for the permanent reduction of principal, with such payments to be applied ratably (based on the aggregate amount of principal outstanding across all such Amended Loan Agreements) with such payments applied within such Amended Loan Agreements in inverse order of maturity (and with respect to Vessels with first lien, second lien and/or third lien priority claims in the order of priority) and (iv) to the Agents to be applied as a prepayment of the outstanding principal balances under the Amended Loan Agreements (including any Deficiency Claims) ratably (based on the aggregate amount of principal outstanding across all Facilities), with such payments applied within such Facilities in inverse order of maturity. For the avoidance of doubt, any sale of a Vessel (other than UP OPAL) other than a foreclosure sale shall be applied as set forth in Section III.B.13.
 
To the extent that all Vessels (other than UP OPAL or UP RUBI) securing the obligations under any Amended Loan Agreement have been sold or subject to a total loss or other disposition and the proceeds of any such sale, total loss or other proceeds are (with the consent of all Lenders under the Amended Loan Agreements secured by such Vessel(s)) insufficient to satisfy principal and other amounts outstanding under such Amended Loan Agreement, the outstanding principal amount under such Amended Loan Agreement on such date shall represent a claim (together with an UP RUBI Deficiency Claim, a "Deficiency Claim") and shall be entitled to be paid (i) pursuant to Section II.C.3 hereof in the event that any Excess Cash is paid in accordance with an Excess Cash Sweep, (ii) pursuant to Section II.D.3 hereof, (iii) pursuant to the Payment Waterfall as set forth therein and (iv) as otherwise provided for in this Term Sheet in connection with payments of principal of all Facilities.

With respect to a foreclosure sale (or receipt of insurance proceeds and condemnation awards)  of UP OPAL, the proceeds of such sale (or such proceeds) shall be applied as set forth under Section II.D.3.

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
A.   Substantive Consolidation.
Solely for voting, confirmation, and distribution purposes under the Plan, the Consolidated Debtors are substantively consolidated for all purposes and actions associated with consummation of the Plan, including, without limitation, for purposes of voting and confirmation, and, solely for such purposes, on and after the Effective Date, (a) all assets and liabilities of the Consolidated Debtors shall be consolidated and treated as though they were merged into one estate, (b) all guarantees of any Consolidated Debtor of the obligations of any other Consolidated Debtor shall be eliminated so that any Claim against any Consolidated Debtor, any guarantee thereof executed by any other Consolidated Debtor, and any joint or several liability of any of the Consolidated Debtors shall be one obligation of the Consolidated Debtors, (c) each and every Claim filed or to be filed in the Reorganization Cases against any of the Consolidated Debtors shall be deemed filed against the Consolidated Debtors collectively and shall be one Claim against and, if and to the extent allowed, shall become one obligation of the Consolidated Debtors solely for purposes of distribution under the Plan, and (d) for all purposes associated with Confirmation, including, without limitation, for purposes of tallying acceptances and rejections of the Plan, the estates of the Consolidated Debtors shall be deemed to be one consolidated estate. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Effective Date any Allowed Claim that is Reinstated under the Plan shall be an obligation solely of the applicable Reorganized Debtor against whom such Allowed Claim is held and shall be paid in accordance with ordinary course terms.
Substantive consolidation shall not affect: (a) the legal and organizational structure of the Consolidated Debtors; (b) Intercompany Claims and Equity Interests between and among the Consolidated Debtors; and (c) distributions from any insurance policies or proceeds of such policies.
26


In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation of the Consolidated Debtors, then: (a) nothing in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an admission that one of the Debtors is subject to or liable for any Claim against any other Debtor; (b) Claims against multiple Debtors shall be treated as separate Claims with respect to each Debtor's estate for all purposes (including, without limitation, distributions and voting), and such Claims shall be administered as provided in the Plan; and (c) the Debtors shall not, nor shall they be required to, resolicit votes with respect to the Plan, nor will the failure of the Bankruptcy Court to approve substantive consolidation of the Consolidated Debtors materially alter the economics of the distributions set forth in the Plan. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation, the Plan shall be deemed to provide for thirty-two subplans of reorganization. A vote to accept the Plan shall also be deemed a vote to accept a separate plan for each of the Consolidated Debtors against whom you hold your claim in the event that the Bankruptcy Court denies approval of the substantive consolidation of the Consolidated Debtors; provided that the treatment of the claim being voted would not be materially different in the absence of substantive consolidation.

The Plan and the Confirmation Order shall have res judicata, collateral estoppel, and estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise) effect with respect to all matters provided for, or resolved pursuant to, the Plan and/or the Confirmation Order, including, without limitation, the release, injunction, exculpation, discharge, and compromise provisions contained in the Plan and/or the Confirmation Order.

As soon as practicable following compliance with the requirements set forth in Article VI of the Plan, the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee shall arrange to deliver or direct the delivery of such distributions to or on behalf of the holders of Allowed 2021 Note Claims in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Notes Indenture. Any unclaimed distributions shall be treated as provided in the 2021 Notes Indenture, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and applicable nonbankruptcy law. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, and without limiting the exculpation and release provisions of the Plan, the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability to any person with respect to distributions made or directed to be made by the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee.
(c)   Ocean Business . The Plan Debtors shall continue to market the Ocean Business for sale in accordance with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement; provided that in the event that the Acceptable Ocean Sale is not consummated by the Ocean Business Sale Deadline, the Plan Debtors shall, if requested by Supermajority Supporting Noteholders no later than the Ocean Business Election Deadline, transfer the Ocean Business Equity to an entity designated by the Majority Supporting Noteholders and held by the 2021 Notes Indenture Trustee (the " Ocean Business Transferee ") to receive such Ocean Business Equity on behalf of all 2021 Noteholders (the " Ocean Business Hand Over "). In the event of an Ocean Business Hand Over or consummation of an Acceptable Ocean Sale, all claims between Ocean Business Entities on the one-hand and Other UP Entities on the other hand, shall be waived, eliminated, and discharged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Supermajority Supporting Noteholders (1) do not request to receive the transfer of the Ocean Business Equity on or prior to the Ocean Business Election Deadline or (2) at any time prior to the Ocean Business Election Deadline notify the Debtors that they will not be electing to receive the transfer of the Ocean
41


Business Equity, in each case the Ocean Business Equity shall be retained by Princely International Finance Corp., or other Plan Debtor(s) if New Holdco 1 and the Plan Debtors so agree ( " Ocean Business Retention ") and all claims of the 2021 Noteholders with respect thereto shall be released. In connection with any Ocean Business Hand Over, the Plan Debtors and the Majority Supporting Noteholders shall negotiate in good faith regarding, and enter into, a mutually acceptable Ocean Administrative Services Agreement reasonably acceptable to Sparrow and Southern Cross. The Plan Debtors shall take all actions reasonably necessary to implement the Ocean Business Hand Over as agreed upon with the Supermajority Supporting Noteholders in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement. Following any Ocean Business Hand Over, the Supermajority Supporting Noteholders shall use reasonable commercial efforts to promptly sell the Ocean Business (in consultation with IFC and OFID) with the Ocean Business Subsequent Proceeds to be paid to the 2021 Note Indenture Trustee (i) to deliver or direct the delivery of such distributions to or on behalf of the holders of Allowed 2021 Note Claims or (ii) with respect to the amount of such proceeds equal to the True-Up Amount, to be held in trust for and paid directly to holders of the IFC-OFID Loan Claims, each in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Notes Indenture (if applicable) and the Plan. Any 2021 Noteholder on its own behalf may elect to not receive its Pro Rata share of the Ocean Business Transferee Equity by delivering written notice of such election to the 2021 Notes Indenture Trustee and the Plan Debtors no later than three (3) Business Days after the Ocean Business Election Deadline, in which case such equity will be allocated Pro Rata among the remaining 2021 Noteholders.
(d)   Distribution of Cash. Any payment of Cash by the Plan Debtors or Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall be made at the option and in the sole discretion of the Reorganized Debtors by (i) a check drawn on, or (ii) wire transfer from, a domestic bank selected by the Reorganized Debtors.
(e)   Unclaimed Distributions of Cash . Undeliverable distributions or unclaimed distributions shall remain in the possession of the Debtors until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable or holder accepts distribution, or such distribution reverts back to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends or other accruals of any kind. Such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of six (6) months after having been delivered (or attempted to be delivered) and shall become the property of the Reorganized Debtors notwithstanding any state or other escheat or similar laws to the contrary, and the entitlement by the holder of such unclaimed Allowed Claim to such distribution or any subsequent distribution on account of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest shall be extinguished and forever barred.
(f)   Saturdays , Sundays , or Legal Holidays. If any payment, distribution 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, and shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.
42


(g)   Distributions to Holders of Claims :
i.   Initial Distribution to Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date . On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, or as otherwise expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (or their agent or designee) shall distribute Cash or Collateral, as the case may be, to the holders of Allowed Claims as contemplated herein.
ii.   Claims Allowed after the Effective Date . Each holder of a Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim subsequent to the Effective Date shall receive the distribution to which such holder of an Allowed Claim is entitled as set forth in Article III, and distributions to such holder shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. As soon as practicable after the date that the Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Reorganized Debtors shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under this Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim.
(h)   Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims and Disputed Equity Interests . Except as otherwise agreed to by the relevant parties, no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim, respectively, have been resolved by settlement or Final Order. In the event that there are Disputed Claims requiring adjudication and resolution, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish appropriate reserves for potential payment of such Claims.
(i)   Interest on Claims and Equity Interests . Except as specifically provided for in the Plan, no Claims or Equity Interests, Allowed or otherwise (including Administrative Claims), shall be entitled, under any circumstances, to receive any interest on a Claim or Equity Interests.
C.   Allocation of Consideration.
The aggregate consideration to be distributed to the holders of Allowed Claims in each Class under the Plan shall be treated as first satisfying an amount equal to the principal amount of the Allowed Claim for such holders, and any remaining consideration as satisfying accrued, but unpaid and interest, as applicable.
D.   Estimation.
Before or after the Effective Date, the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to), at any time, request that the Court estimate (i) any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) any contingent or unliquidated Claim or Equity Interest pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, for any reason, regardless of whether the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have previously objected to such Claim or Equity Interest or whether the Court has ruled on any such objection. The Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim or Equity Interest at any time, including during proceedings concerning any objection to such Claim or Equity Interest. In the event that the Court estimates any Claim or Equity Interest, such estimated amount shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or Equity Interest or a maximum limitation on such Claim or Equity Interest for all purposes under the Plan
43


(including for purposes of distributions), as determined by the Court. If the estimated amount constitutes the maximum limitation on such Claim or Equity Interest, the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, may elect to pursue supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of such Claim or Equity Interest. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another.
E.   Insured Claims.
If any portion of an Allowed Claim is an Insured Claim, no distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of such Allowed Claim until the holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to any applicable insurance policies. To the extent that the Plan Debtors' insurers agree to satisfy a Claim in whole or in part, then immediately upon such agreement, the portion of such Claim so satisfied may be expunged without an objection to such Claim having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.
ARTICLE VII.

ARTICLE VIII.
EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A.   Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
Except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease not previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected shall be deemed automatically assumed pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless any such executory contract or unexpired lease: (i) is expressly identified on the Rejection Schedule, (ii) has been previously rejected by the Plan Debtors by Final Order or has been rejected by the Plan Debtors by order of the Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date, (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject pending as of the Effective Date, or (iv) is otherwise rejected pursuant to the terms herein.
The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Court approving such assumptions pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date or as otherwise set forth in the Plan Supplement.
B.   Cure Claims.
At the election of the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed under the Plan shall be satisfied pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code in one of the following ways: (i) payment of the Cure Claim in Cash on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the later of (A) thirty (30) days after the determination of the Cure Claim, and (B) the Effective Date or such other date as may be set by the Court or (ii) on such other terms as agreed to by the applicable Plan Debtor or Reorganized Debtor and the non-Plan Debtor counterparty to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. In the event of a dispute pertaining to assumption or assignment, the Cure Claim payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. No later than the Commencement Date, to the extent not previously filed with the Court and served on affected counterparties, the Plan Debtors may provide for notices of proposed assumption and proposed cure amounts to be sent to applicable contract and lease counterparties, together with procedures for objecting thereto and resolution of disputes by the Court. Any objection by a contract or lease counterparty to a proposed assumption or related cure amount must be filed, served, and actually received by the Plan Debtors by the date on which objections to Confirmation are due (or such other date as may be provided in the applicable assumption notice). Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or cure amount will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or cure amount.
The only adequate assurance of future performance shall be the promise of the applicable Reorganized Debtor to perform all obligations under any executory contract or unexpired lease under this Plan.
46


ASSUMPTION OF ANY EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE PURSUANT TO THE PLAN OR OTHERWISE SHALL RESULT IN THE FULL RELEASE AND SATISFACTION OF ANY CLAIMS OR DEFAULTS, WHETHER MONETARY OR NONMONETARY, INCLUDING DEFAULTS OF PROVISIONS RESTRICTING THE CHANGE IN CONTROL OR OWNERSHIP INTEREST COMPOSITION OR OTHER BANKRUPTCY-RELATED DEFAULTS, ARISING UNDER ANY ASSUMED EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE DATE THE PLAN DEBTORS OR THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS ASSUME SUCH EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE. ANY PROOFS OF CLAIM FILED WITH RESPECT TO AN EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR UNEXPIRED LEASE THAT HAS BEEN ASSUMED SHALL BE DEEMED DISALLOWED AND EXPUNGED, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO OR ACTION, ORDER OR APPROVAL OF THE COURT.
Performance of obligations arising under insurance policies assumed by the Plan Debtors before the Effective Date shall be adequately assured in accordance with any order authorizing such assumption.
C.   Reservation of Rights.
Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, as applicable, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Plan Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. In the event a written objection is filed with the Court as to whether a contract or lease is executory or unexpired, the right of the Plan Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to move to assume or reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after the entry of a Final Order by the Court determining that the contract or lease is executory or unexpired, in which case the deemed assumptions and rejections provided for in the Plan shall not apply to such contract or lease.
D.   Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
(a)   Rejection Schedule. The Plan Debtors will file the Rejection Schedule, if any, with the Court no later than five (5) Business Days before the deadline to object to the Plan. The Rejection Schedule, if any, will include (a) the name of the non-Plan Debtor counterparty, (b) the legal description of the contract or lease to be rejected, and (c) the proposed effective date of rejection (if not the Effective Date). On or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Plan Debtors will serve a Rejection Notice, if any, as well as notice of filing of the Rejection Schedule, if any, upon each non-Plan Debtor counterparty listed thereon that will describe the procedures by which such parties may object to the proposed rejection of their respective Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and explain how such disputes will be resolved by the Court if the parties are not able to resolve a dispute consensually. The deadline for filing and serving an objection to a rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease shall be 4:00 pm (prevailing Eastern Time) on the 10th calendar day after the Rejection Schedule is filed and notice thereof is mailed. If no such objection is timely filed, such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed rejected as of the effective date stated on the Rejection Schedule. If after a reasonable period of
47


time the parties cannot mutually resolve a timely filed objection to such rejection, the Debtors, in consultation with the Bankruptcy Court, shall set a schedule including a deadline for the Debtors to reply to the objection and a date for the Bankruptcy Court to hear the objection.
The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Court approving such rejections pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date or as otherwise set forth in the Plan Supplement.
(b)   Rejection Damage Claims. All Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to the Plan must be served upon the Debtors and their counsel on or before the date that is ten (10) calendar days after the effective date of such rejection. Any Claims not filed within such time shall be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors, their estates, the Reorganized Debtors, and their property. For the avoidance of doubt, all Allowed Rejection Damage Claims shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims or General Unsecured Claims – Cornamusa, as the case may be.
E.   Insurance Policies.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all of the Plan Debtors' insurance policies and any agreements, documents or instruments relating thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Plan Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto.
F.   Post-Petition Contracts and Leases.
All contracts, agreements, and leases that were entered into by a Plan Debtor or assumed by a Plan Debtor after the Commencement Date shall be deemed assigned by that Plan Debtor to the applicable Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date.

EXHIBIT D

Offshore Business Projected Financial Information



DEBTORS' FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS

Offshore Supply Business
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's Offshore Business owns and operates vessels that provide critical logistical and transportation services for offshore petroleum exploration and production companies in the coastal waters of Brazil and the North Sea.  The Offshore Business fleet is comprised of thirteen Platform Supply Vessels, or PSVs, which are designed to transport supplies such as containerized equipment, drill casing, pipes, and heavy loads on deck, along with fuel, water, drilling fluids, and bulk cement in under deck tanks and a variety of other supplies to drilling rigs and platforms. In addition, the Offshore Business fleet includes one Remotely Operated Vehicle Support Vessel, which is chartered with Petrobras in Brazil, and three offshore barges. Out of the thirteen PSVs, seven were chartered in Brazil (including the formerly blocked UP Turquoise which is expected to commence operations with Petrobras in January 2017), four were laid-up in Brazil and two remained laid-up in the North Sea. Ultrapetrol is currently seeking employment for these laid-up vessels in Brazil and the North Sea. The PSV UP Jade finalized its contract on August 1, 2016, and is now currently seeking employment along with the other laid-up vessels. The current Petrobras contract of the RSV UP Coral was extended until August 24, 2017. The Offshore Business transportation services contributed approximately 31% and 28% of the Company's consolidated operating revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Income Statement Assumptions - Revenue
 
A.
Revenues
The Revenues in these Projections reflect a hypothetical analysis in which the Offshore Supply Business, River Business and Ocean Business continue operations under a combined parent. To develop the Projections, the Debtors' management team evaluated market and competitive conditions and, in collaboration with the Company's advisors, developed its revenue projections. The Projections assume a global recovery in demand for supply vessels and a stable foreign exchange rate similar to current rates as of October 2016. The underlying assumptions are outlined by business below.
Offshore Supply Business: A substantial portion of the Revenue generated by the Offshore Supply business is through its capacity under time charters to charterers in Brazil.   The primary drivers of revenue and growth include:
i.
Charter rates per day for active vessels of $20,800 to $53,260;
ii.
Seven PSVs with charters in fiscal year 2017 (including the formerly blocked UP Turquoise which is expected to commence operations with Petrobras during January 2017);

iii.
The remaining six laid-up in Brazil and in the North Sea are assumed to resume operations in 2019, resulting in twelve implicit number of vessels in operation by such year;
iv.
Remobilization after lay-up of UP Jade and UP Agate in 4Q18 at a rates consistent with the market for such ships. Additional immaterial bunker costs might be incurred by UP Esmerelda, UP Amber, UP Pearl and UP Jasper while in lay-up until their commencement of operations;
v.
After the UP Coral contract with Petrobras finalizes in August 2017, Ultrapetrol assumes the vessel will be granted with a further extension of her contract and will continue with its operation. Ultrapetrol assumes that such agreement might include, amongst other clauses, a significant reduction in the daily time charter rate;
vi.
Lower rates for certain vessels after current contracts expire, due to adverse market conditions;
vii.
Three to four off-hire days per quarter per active vessel; and
viii.
Dry-dock down-time for all operating vessels as required by the Company's maintenance schedule, with one-time quarterly downtime ranging from 11-24 days. Vessel in lay-up will have their dry-docks performed during the quarter prior to the assumed commencement of operations.
