F. Necessity for Relief Requested; Immediate and Irreparable Harm. The Debtors requested entry of this Interim Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 4001(b)(2) on the terms described herein. The Debtors have an immediate need to use the Cash Collateral to, among other things, preserve and maximize the value of the assets of each Debtor’s bankruptcy estate (as defined under section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, the “Estate”) in order to maximize the recovery to all creditors of each Debtor’s Estate, absent which immediate and irreparable harm will result to the Debtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders. Absent the Debtors’ ability to use Cash Collateral, the Debtors would not have sufficient available sources of working capital or financing and would be unable to pay their payroll and other operating expenses, or maintain their assets to the detriment of their Estates and creditors. Accordingly, the relief requested and the terms set forth herein are (i) critical to the Debtors’ ability to maximize the value of the Estates, (ii) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, and (iii) necessary, essential, and appropriate to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors and the Debtors’ Estates, stakeholders, assets, goodwill, reputation, and employees. G. Adequate Protection. Each of the Prepetition Agents and Prepetition Lenders are entitled to the adequate protection provided in this Interim Order as and to the extent set forth herein pursuant to sections 361, 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Based on the record presented to the Court, the terms of the proposed adequate protection arrangements and of the use of the Collateral (as defined below), including the Cash Collateral, are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ prudent exercise of business judgment and constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the use of Cash Collateral. Each of the Prepetition Agents and Prepetition Secured Parties reserves the right to seek additional adequate protection beyond the adequate protection provided in this Interim Order, and nothing in this Interim Order or otherwise shall be deemed or construed to limit, impair or otherwise prejudice any of the Prepetition -7-

Case 20-32564 Document 78 Filed in TXSB on 05/11/20 Page 8 of 39 Agents’ and/or the Prepetition Secured Parties’ rights to seek and/or obtain such other or additional adequate protection or any other relief. H. Section 506(c) and 552(b). Subject to entry of the Final Order only, in consideration for the Prepetition Agents’ and Prepetition Secured Parties’ agreement to subordinate the Adequate Protection Superpriority Claim, the Adequate Protection Replacement Lien, and the Prepetition Liens, as applicable, on the Prepetition Collateral to fund the Budget (as defined below) and the Carve-Out (as defined below), in each case solely to the extent set forth in this Interim Order, the Prepetition Agents and the Prepetition Secured Parties are entitled to the benefits of a waiver of the provisions of Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and any “equities of the case” claims under section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. I. Good Cause. Good cause has been shown for immediate entry of this Interim Order, and the entry of this Interim Order is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates and their stakeholders. Among other things, the relief granted herein will minimize disruption of the Debtors’ business and permit the Debtors to meet payroll and other expenses necessary to maximize the value of the Estates. The terms of the Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral and proposed adequate protection arrangements, as set forth in this Interim Order, are fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties. J. Good Faith. The Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof has been negotiated in good faith and at arms’ length among the Debtors and the Prepetition Agents, and the consent of the Prepetition Agents to the Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been made in “good faith.” BASED UPON THE STIPULATED TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN, AND FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED: 1. Relief Granted. The relief requested in the Motion is GRANTED to the extent provided herein. Any objection to entry of this Interim Order, to the extent not withdrawn, waived or resolved, is hereby overruled. -8-

If such written consent is given, the Debtors shall be authorized pursuant to this Interim Order to expend Cash Collateral for any such Non- Conforming Use or any such Subsequent Budget Period in accordance with a subsequent Budget (a “Subsequent Budget”) without further Court approval, and the Prepetition Agents and Prepetition Lenders shall be entitled to all of the protections specified in this Interim Order for any such use of Cash Collateral; provided, that each such permitted Non-Conforming Use shall be deemed a modification to the Budget for all testing purposes.

Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Interim Order, (i) the failure of the Carve Out Reserves to satisfy in full the Allowed Professional Fees shall not affect the priority of the Carve Out, and (ii) in no way shall the Budget, Carve Out, Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap, Carve Out Reserves, or any of the foregoing be construed as a cap or limitation on the amount of the Allowed Professional Fees due and payable by the Debtors. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Interim Order or in any Prepetition Financing Documents, the Carve Out shall be senior to all liens and claims securing the Prepetition Collateral, the Adequate Protection Replacement Lien (defined below), and the Adequate Protection Superpriority Claim, and any and all other forms of adequate protection, liens, or claims securing the Prepetition Obligations solely to the extent provided herein.

Furthermore, nothing in this Interim Order or otherwise shall be construed: (i) to obligate the Prepetition Agents in any way to pay compensation to or to reimburse expenses of any Professional Person, or to guarantee that the Debtors have sufficient funds to pay such compensation or reimbursement; or (ii) to increase the Carve Out if allowed fees and/or disbursements are higher in fact than the amounts subject to the Carve Out as set forth in this Interim Order. 5.
