The Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Disclosure Statement and the Plan comply with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be approved and confirmed, respectively.

C. Eligibility for Relief.

3. The Debtor was and is an entity eligible for relief under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code.

D. Commencement of the Chapter 11 Case.

4. On the Petition Date, the Debtor filed a voluntary case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Since the Petition Date, the Debtor has operated its business and managed its properties as a debtor in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No official committee has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case and no trustee or examiner has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.

5

F. Objections.

6. All parties have had a fair opportunity to litigate all issues raised, or that might have been raised, in objection to approval of the Disclosure Statement and Confirmation of the Plan and all such unresolved objections, statements, or informal objections, if any, related to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or Confirmation are hereby overruled as set forth and stated on the record at the Confirmation Hearing on the merits.

G. Bankruptcy Rule 3016.

7. The Plan is dated and identifies the Entities submitting it, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). The Debtor appropriately filed the Disclosure Statement and the Plan with the Court, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b).

H. Burden of Proof-Confirmation of the Plan.

8. The Debtor, as proponent of the Plan, has met its burden of proving the applicable elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation of the Plan.

I. Notice.

9. As evidenced by the ConfirmationHearing Notice Affidavit, the Publication Notice Affidavit and the record in this Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor provided due, adequate, and sufficient notice of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the release, exculpation, and injunction provisions contained in the Plan, the Confirmation Hearing, the Plan and Disclosure Statement Objection Deadline, and any other applicable bar dates described in the Solicitation Procedures Order to all parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Case. Such notice was adequate and sufficient and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, including Bankruptcy Rules 2002(b), 3016, 3017, 3019, and 3020(b), the Bankruptcy Local rules, the

6

Complex Case Procedures, the Solicitation Procedures, and the Solicitation Procedures Order. No other or further notice is or shall be required.

J. Disclosure Statement.

10. The Disclosure Statement contains (a) sufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all applicable nonbankruptcy laws, rules, and regulations, and (b) "adequate information" (as such term is defined in section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and used in section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtor, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein. The filing of the Disclosure Statement with the clerk of the Court satisfies Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b).

K. Ballots.

11. The Classes of Claims entitled under the Plan to vote to accept or reject the Plan (the "Voting Classes") is set forth below:

Class

Designation

3

Bridge Notes Claims

4

Senior Secured Notes Claims

5

Convertible Notes Claims

12. The Ballots the Debtor used to solicit votes to accept or reject the Plan from holders in the Voting Classes adequately addressed the particular needs of this Chapter 11 Case and were appropriate for holders of Claims in the Voting Classes to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

L. Solicitation.

13. As described in the Voting Report, the solicitation of votes on the Plan complied with the solicitation procedures set forth in the Solicitation Procedures Motion and approved in the Solicitation Procedures Order (the "Solicitation Procedures"), was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of this Chapter 11 Case, and was in compliance with the provisions

7

of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Complex Case Procedures, and any other applicable rules, laws, and regulations.

14. As described in the Voting Report, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the applicable Ballot (collectively, the "Solicitation Packages"), and the Confirmation Hearing Notice were transmitted and served, including to all holders of Claims in the Impaired Classes, in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1125 and 1126 thereof, the Bankruptcy Rules, including Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, the Local Rules, the Complex Case Procedures, the Solicitation Procedures Order, and any applicable nonbankruptcy law. Transmission and service of the Solicitation Packages and the Confirmation Hearing Notice were timely, adequate, and sufficient. No further notice is required.

15. As set forth in the Voting Report, the Solicitation Packages were initially distributed to holders of Claims in the Voting Classes that held a Claim as of January 6, 2023 (the date specified in such documents for the purpose of the solicitation). The establishment and notice of the Voting Record Date were reasonable and sufficient.

16. The period during which holders of Claims in the Voting Classes had to submit acceptances or rejections to the Plan was a reasonable and sufficient period of time for such holders to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan.

17. Under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor was not required to solicit votes from the holders of Claims or Interests, as applicable, in the Unimpaired Classes (defined below), each of which is conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan. Holders of Other Priority Claims in Class 1, Other Secured Claims in Class 2 and General Unsecured Claims in Class 6 are Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan, and, therefore, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Holders of Interests in the Debtor in Class 7

8

and Section 510(b) Claims in Class 8 (collectively, the "Deemed Rejecting Classes") are Impaired under the Plan and are not entitled to receive or retain any property under the Plan and, therefore, are deemed to have rejected the Plan.

M. Voting.

18. As evidenced by the Voting Report, votes to accept or reject the Plan have been solicited and tabulated fairly, in good faith, and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Complex Case Procedures, the Solicitation Procedures Order, the Disclosure Statement, and any applicable nonbankruptcy law, rule, or regulation.

N. Service of Opt-Out Form.

19. The Notice of Non-Voting Status included the Opt-Out Form and instructions for opting out of the Third-Party Release (as defined below) through the submission of the Opt-Out Form to the Claims and Noticing Agent for recording by the Plan and Disclosure Statement Objection Deadline. The process described in the Solicitation Procedures Order, the Solicitation Procedures, and the Confirmation Hearing Notice Affidavit that the Debtor and the Claims and Noticing Agent followed to identify the relevant parties on which to serve the Notice of Non-Voting Status and to distribute the Opt-Out Forms was reasonably calculated to ensure that each of the Holders of Claims and Interests was informed of its ability to opt of the Third-Party Release and the consequences for failing to timely do so. Transmission and service of the Opt-Out Forms was timely, adequate, and sufficient under the facts and circumstances of this Chapter 11 Case. No other or further notice is or shall be required.

O. Plan Supplement.

20. The Plan Supplement complies with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the Plan, and the filing and notice of such documents are good and proper in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and the Complex Case Procedures and

9

no other or further notice is required. All documents included in the Plan Supplement are integral to, part of, and incorporated by reference into the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Debtor reserves the right to alter, amend, update, or modify the Plan Supplement before the Effective Date, subject to compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.

P. Compliance with Bankruptcy Code Requirements-Section 1129(a)(1).

21. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122 and 1123, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the Plan is dated and identifies the Entities submitting it, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).

(i) Proper Classification-Sections 1122 and 1123.

22. The Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1122(a), 1122(b), and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests into nine Classes. Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of such Classes of Claims and Interests. The classifications were not implemented for any improper purpose and do not unfairly discriminate between, or among, holders of Claims or Interests. Each Class of Claims and Interests contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within that Class.

(ii) Specified Unimpaired Classes-Section 1123(a)(2).

23. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims in Classes 1, 2, and 6 (the "Unimpaired Classes") are Unimpaired under the Plan and Claims and Interests in Class 7 and Claims in Class 8 are Impaired under the Plan. Additionally, Article II of the Plan specifies that Administrative Expense Claims, Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims will be paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Plan, although these Claims are not separately classified under the Plan.

10

(iii) Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes-Section 1123(a)(3).

24. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims and Interests, as applicable, in Classes 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 (the "Impaired Classes") are Impaired under the Plan and Claims in Class 1, 2 and 6 are Unimpaired under the Plan, and describes the treatment of such Classes.

(iv) No Discrimination-Section 1123(a)(4).

25. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtor for each Claim or Interest in each respective Class unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Interest.

(v) Adequate Means for Plan Implementation-Section 1123(a)(5).

26. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. The provisions in Article V and elsewhere in the Plan, and in the exhibits and attachments to the Plan and the Disclosure Statement provide, in detail, adequate and proper means for the Plan's implementation, including regarding: (a) the continuation of operations between the Confirmation Date and Effective Date; (b) the funding of distributions to satisfy applicable Allowed Claims with Cash on hand and proceeds of the Private Placements; (c) the issuance of Additional Quotient Limited Common Equity and Newco Partnership Interests; (d) authorizing the Debtor and/or Reorganized Debtor to take all corporate actions contemplated by the Plan; (e) the vesting of estate assets in the Reorganized Debtor and in Finance Co; (f) authorizing the cancellation of existing securities and agreements, and the surrender of existing securities (except as otherwise provided therein); (g) the cancellation of Liens and surrender and cancelation of notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing claims; (h) authorizing the Debtor and/or Reorganized Debtor to take any other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to Reinstate

11

Claims or Interests or render Claims or Interests not Impaired, as provided for under the Plan; and (i) the comprehensive settlement of Claims and controversies. Moreover, the Debtor will have sufficient Cash to make all payments required upon the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

(vi) Voting Power of Equity Securities-Section 1123(a)(6).

27. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. On the Effective Date, the certificates of incorporation of the Reorganized Debtor shall prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities, to the extent required by such section. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may amend and restate its certificates or articles of incorporation, by-laws, or similar governing documents, as applicable, as permitted by applicable law.

(vii) Directors and Officers-Section 1123(a)(7).

28. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with Section 5.8.2 of the Plan, the number and identity of the members of the New Board of the Reorganized Debtor were selected and approved by the Requisite Consenting Holders and the constitution of the New Board of the Reorganized Debtor was identified in the Plan Supplement. The selection of the Reorganized Debtor's directors is consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and Interests and public policy. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(viii) Section 1123(b)-Discretionary Contents of the Plan.

29. The Plan's discretionary provisions comply with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and are not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The failure to specifically address a provision

12

of the Bankruptcy Code in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of this Confirmation Order.

a. Impairment / Unimpairment of Classes-Section 1123(b)(1).

30. The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan leaves each Class of Claims and Interests Impaired or Unimpaired.

b. Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases-Section 1123(b)(2).

31. The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article VI of the Plan provides that on the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtor will be assumed by the Debtor in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (a) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtor by prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (c) is subject to a motion to reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease filed prior to the Effective Date, or (d) appears on the "List of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be rejected at the Combined Hearing" that was filed with the Plan Supplement.

32. The Debtor's determinations regarding the assumption (or assumption and assignment) or rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases are based on, and within, the sound business judgment of the Debtor, are necessary to the implementation of the Plan, and are in the best interests of the Debtor, its Estate, Holders of Claims and Interests, and other parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Case. Entry of this Order by the Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions, assumptions and assignments, and/or rejections, as applicable, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

13

c. Settlement, Releases, Exculpation, Injunction, and Cancellation of Liens-Section 1123(b)(3).

33. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in consideration for the classification, distribution, and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan, including all Claims, Causes of Action, and controversies arising prior to the Effective Date, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, by or against any Released Party, or holders of Claims, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the business or affairs of or transactions with the Debtor other than Causes of Action preserved pursuant to the Plan for the benefit of the Reorganized Debtor, including as set forth in Section 5.10.1 of the Plan.

34. The entry of this Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval of each of the foregoing compromises or settlements, and all other compromises and settlements provided for in the Plan, and the Bankruptcy Court's findings shall constitute its determination that such compromises and settlements are in the best interests of the Debtor, the Estate, creditors, and other parties in interest, and are fair, equitable, and within the range of reasonableness. The provisions of the Plan, including its release, injunction, exculpation, and compromise provisions, are mutually dependent and non-severable.

35. Section 10.4 of the Plan contains the following releases granted by the Debtor (the "Debtor Release"):

As of the Effective Date, each Released Party will be deemed released and discharged by each and all of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, and its Estate, in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns, and representatives, and any and all other entities who may purport to assert any Cause of Action, directly or derivatively, by, through, for, or because of the foregoing entities, from any and all claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, causes of action,

14

remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or its Estate, as applicable, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or its Estate or Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the holder of any claim against, or interest in, the Debtor or other entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtor, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any claim or interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between the Debtor and any Released Party, the Debtor's in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions, the Chapter 11 Case, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, filing, or consummation of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Transaction Support Agreement, or any other restructuring transaction, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with the Disclosure Statement or the Plan, the filing of the Chapter 11 Case, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the pursuit of consummation of the Plan, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance or distribution of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, or upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date, other than claims or liabilities primarily arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party that constitutes actual fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, each solely to the extent as determined by a Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that any right to enforce the Plan and Confirmation Order is not so released by this section; provided, further, however, that nothing in this section shall operate as a release, waiver, discharge or impairment of any Cause of Action related to the non-occurrence of the Merger Date, and all Causes of Action related to the non-occurrence of the Merger Date are preserved notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section.

36. The Debtor has satisfied the business judgment standard with respect to the propriety of the Debtor Release. Such releases are a necessary and integral element of the Plan.

15

Also, the Debtor Release is: (a) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (b) a good-faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by the Debtor Release; (c) in the best interests of the Debtor, the Estate, and all holders of Claims and Interests; (d) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (e) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (f) a bar to any of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or the Estate asserting any claim or Cause of Action released pursuant to the Debtor Release. The Debtor Release is hereby approved as set forth in the Plan.

37. The Debtor has satisfied its burden with respect to the propriety of the Debtor Release. The Debtor Release appropriately offers protection to parties that provided consideration to the Debtor and that participated in the Debtor's restructuring process. The Released Parties made significant concessions and contributions to the Chapter 11 Case, including by actively supporting the Plan and the Chapter 11 Case. The scope of the Debtor Release is appropriately tailored under the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Case.

38. Section 10.5 of the Plan contains the following releases granted by the Releasing Parties (the "Third-Party Release"):

As of the Effective Date, each of the Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever, released and discharged the Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, and each Released Party from any and all claims, interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, causes of action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of any of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or its Estate, that such entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtor, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to,

any claim or interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between the Debtor and any Released Party, the Debtor's in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions, the Chapter 11 Case, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, filing, or consummation of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Transaction Support Agreement, or any restructuring transaction, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with the Disclosure Statement or the Plan, the filing of the Chapter 11 Case, the pursuit of confirmation, the pursuit of consummation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance or distribution of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, or upon any other related act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date, other than claims or liabilities primarily arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party that constitutes actual fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, each solely to the extent as determined by a Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that any right to enforce the Plan and Confirmation Order is not so released by this section; provided, further, however, that nothing in this section shall operate as a release, waiver, discharge or impairment of any Cause of Action related to the non-occurrence of the Merger Date, and all Causes of Action related to the non-occurrence of the Merger Date are preserved notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section.

39. The Third-Party Release provides finality for the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, and the Released Parties regarding the parties' respective obligations under the Plan and with respect to the Reorganized Debtor. The Third-Party Release is consensual with respect to the Releasing Parties and is necessary and integral to the Plan. Also, the Third-Party Release is: (a) given in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (b) a good-faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by the Third-Party Release; (c) in the best interests of the Debtor, the Estate, and all holders of Claims and Interests; (d) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (e) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (f)

17

a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any claim or Cause of Action released pursuant to the Third-Party Release. The Third-Party Release is hereby approved as set forth in the Plan.

40. The Releasing Parties were provided proper and sufficient notice of this Chapter 11 Case, the Plan, the Third-Party Release, and the Plan and Disclosure Statement Objection Deadline through the service of the Solicitation Materials and distribution of the Ballots. No further notice is necessary. The Plan and each of the Solicitation Materials included the Third-Party Release provision in conspicuous, boldface type, and the Notice of Non-Voting Status informed Holders of Claims or Interests in the Debtor that they would be deemed to have consented to the Third-Party Release if they did not (a) timely return the Opt-Out Form included in the Notice of Non-Voting Status by the Voting Deadline or (b) object to their inclusion as a Releasing Party by the Objection Deadline. The Plan provides appropriate and specific disclosure with respect to the claims and Causes of Action that are subject to the Third-Party Release, and no other disclosure is necessary. The Third-Party Release is specific in language, integral to the Plan, and given for substantial consideration.

41. The exculpation, described in Section 10.6 of the Plan (the "Exculpation"), is appropriate under applicable law because it was proposed in good faith, was formulated following extensive good-faith, arm's-length negotiations with key constituents, and is appropriately limited in scope. Without limiting anything in the Exculpation, each Exculpated Party has participated in this Chapter 11 Case in good faith and, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur any liability to any Entity for any exculpated Claims, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated as set forth in the Plan; provided that the foregoing "Exculpation" shall have no effect on the liability of any entity that results from any such act or omission that is determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud, willful

18

misconduct, or gross negligence. The Exculpated Parties have participated in any and all activities potentially underlying any Exculpated Claim in good faith and in compliance with the applicable laws. The Exculpation, including its carve-out for actual fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, is consistent with established practice in this jurisdiction and others.

42. The injunction, described in Section 10.7 of the Plan (the "Injunction"), is necessary to implement, preserve, and enforce the Debtor's discharge, the Debtor Releases, the Third-Party Release, and the Exculpation, and is narrowly tailored to achieve these purposes.

43. The cancelation of Liens described in Section 5.10 of the Plan (the "Lien Cancelation") is necessary to implement the Plan. The provisions of the Lien Cancelation are appropriate, fair, equitable, and reasonable and are in the best interests of the Debtor, the Estate, and holders of Claims and Interests.

44. Section 5.15.1 of the Plan appropriately provides for the preservation by the Debtor of certain Causes of Action in accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. Causes of Action not released or exculpated by the Debtor will be preserved and transferred to, and vest in, the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with section 1123(b) and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, as provided by the Plan. The Plan is specific and unequivocal with respect to Causes of Action to be preserved and retained by the Debtor and complies with the standards set forth in Dynasty Oil & Gas, LLC v. Citizens Bank (In re United Op., LLC), 540 F.3d 351, 355 (5th Cir. 2008) and its progeny. All parties in interest received adequate notice with respect to such Retained Causes of Action. The provisions regarding Retained Causes of Action in the Plan are appropriate and in the best interests of the Debtor, its respective Estate, and Holders of Claims and Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, Causes of Action released or exculpated under the Plan will not be retained by the Reorganized Debtor.

19

d. Modification of Rights-Section 1123(b)(5).

45. The Plan is consistent with 1123(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan modifies or leaves unaffected, as the case may be, the rights of certain Holders of Claims or Interests.

e. Additional Plan Provisions-Section 1123(b)(6).

46. The other discretionary provisions of the Plan are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(ix) Cure of Defaults-Section 1123(d).

47. The Plan is consistent with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 6.2 of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of any cure amounts associated with Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be assumed pursuant to the Plan in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Q. Debtor Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code-Section 1129(a)(2).

48. The Debtor has complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126, and 1128, and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018, and 3019, except as otherwise provided or permitted by orders of the Court, and thus, satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor:

a. is an eligible debtor under section 109, and a proper proponent of the Plan under section 1121(a), of the Bankruptcy Code; and

b. complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1125 and 1126, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Complex Case Procedures, any applicable nonbankruptcy law, rule and regulation, the Solicitation Procedures Order, and all other applicable law, in transmitting the Solicitation Packages, and related documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating the votes on the Plan.

20

R. Plan Proposed in Good Faith-Section 1129(a)(3).

49. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor has proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In so determining, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of this Chapter 11 Case, the Plan itself, the Transaction Support Agreement, and the process leading to Confirmation of the Plan, including the support of holders of Claims and Interests for the Plan, and the transactions to be implemented pursuant thereto. This Chapter 11 Case was filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the legitimate purpose of allowing the Debtor to reorganize and emerge from bankruptcy with a capital and organizational structure that will allow it to conduct its business and satisfy its obligations with sufficient liquidity and capital resources. All unresolved objections, statements, or informal objections, if any, related to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or Confirmation of the Plan are overruled on the merits.

50. The Debtor and each of the constituents who negotiated the Plan, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, employees, advisors, and professionals (a) acted in good faith in negotiating, formulating, and proposing, where applicable, the Plan and the agreements, compromises, settlements, transactions, transfers, and documentation contemplated by the Plan and (b) will be acting in good faith in proceeding to (i) consummate the Plan and the agreements, compromises, settlements, transactions, transfers, and documentation contemplated by the Plan, and (ii) take any actions authorized and directed or contemplated by this Confirmation Order.

S. Payment for Services or Costs and Expenses-Section 1129(a)(4).

51. The procedures set forth in the Plan for the Court's review and ultimate determination of the fees and expenses to be paid by the Debtor in connection with this Chapter

21

11 Case, or in connection with the Plan and incident to this Chapter 11 Case, satisfy the objectives of, and are in compliance with, section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

T. Directors, Officers, and Insiders-Section 1129(a)(5).

52. The Debtor has satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to Section 5.8.2 of the Plan, the Debtor disclosed in the Plan Supplement in advance of the Confirmation Hearing the identity and affiliations of the members of the New Board of the Reorganized Debtor, as well as those Persons that will serve as an officer of any of the Reorganized Debtor. To the extent any such director or officer is an "insider" under the Bankruptcy Code, the nature of any compensation to be paid to such director or officer was also disclosed. Each such director and officer shall serve from and after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the New Organizational Documents and other constituent documents of the Reorganized Debtor. The method of appointment of members of the New Board of the Reorganized Debtor was, is, and will be consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and public policy. The proposed officers and directors for the Reorganized Debtor are qualified, and their appointment to, or continuance in, such roles is consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and with public policy.

U. No Rate Changes-Section 1129(a)(6).

53. Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to this Chapter 11 Case. The Plan proposes no rate change subject to the jurisdiction of any governmental regulatory commission.

V. Best Interest of Creditors-Section 1129(a)(7).

54. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The analysis provided in the Disclosure Statement, the argument and analysis provided in the Confirmation Brief, and the other evidence related thereto in support of the Plan that were

22

proffered or adduced in the Declarations in Support of Confirmation or at, prior to, or in connection with the Confirmation Hearing: (a) are reasonable, persuasive, credible, and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not been controverted by other evidence; and (d) establish that holders of Allowed Claims and Interests in each Class will recover at least as much under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest, as of the Effective Date, as such holder would receive if the Debtor was liquidated, on the Effective Date, under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

W. Acceptance by Certain Classes-Section 1129(a)(8).

55. Classes 1, 2, and 6 are each Classes of Unimpaired Claims under the Plan and are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Nevertheless, because the Plan has not been accepted by the Deemed Rejecting Classes the Debtor seeks Confirmation of the Plan under section 1129(b), solely with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes, rather than section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. Although section 1129(a)(8) has not been satisfied with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes, the Plan is confirmable because the Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes and thus satisfies section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Classes as described further below. As a result, the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.

X. Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority under Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code-Section 1129(a)(9).

56. The treatment of Administrative Expense Claims, Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, under Article II of the Plan, and of Other Priority Claims under Article III of

23

the Plan, satisfies the requirements of, and complies in all respects with, section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Y. Acceptance by at Least One Impaired Class-Section 1129(a)(10).

57. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code. As evidenced by the Voting Reports, Classes 3, 4, and 5 voted to accept the Plan by the requisite numbers and amounts of Claims, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider (as that term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code).

Z. Feasibility-Section 1129(a)(11).

58. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. Although it is impossible to predict with certainty the precise future profitability of the Debtor's operations, as demonstrated by the evidence in the record, including the Declarations in Support of Confirmation, Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any successor to the Reorganized Debtor under the Plan, except as provided under the Plan. Furthermore, the evidence supporting Confirmation of the Plan proffered or adduced by the Debtor at, or prior to, or in the Declarations in Support of Confirmation filed in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing: (a) are reasonable, persuasive, credible, and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not been controverted by other evidence; (d) establish that the Plan is feasible; and (e) establish that the Reorganized Debtor will have sufficient funds available to meet its obligations under the Plan. Therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.

24

AA. Payment of Fees-Section 1129(a)(12).

59. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 12.3 of the Plan provides for the payment of all fees due and payable by the Debtor under 28 U.S.C. § 1930.

BB. Non-Applicability of Certain Sections-Sections 1129(a)(13), (14), (15), and (16).

60. Sections 1129(a)(13), 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15), and 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to this Chapter 11 Case. The Debtor does not provide retiree benefits (as that term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), does not owe domestic support obligations, is not an individual, and is not a nonprofit corporation.

CC. "Cram Down" Requirements-Section 1129(b).

61. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the fact that the Deemed Rejecting Classes have not accepted the Plan, the Plan may be confirmed pursuant to section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. First, all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code other than section 1129(a)(8) have been met. Second, the Plan is fair and equitable with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes. The Plan has been proposed in good faith, is reasonable, and meets the requirements that no holder of any Claim or Interest that is junior to each such Class will receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such junior Claim or Interest and no holder of a Claim or Interest in a Class senior to such Classes is receiving more than payment in full on account of its Claim or Interest. Accordingly, the Plan is fair and equitable towards all holders of Claims or Interests in the Deemed Rejecting Classes. Third, the Plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes because similarly situated holders will receive substantially similar treatment on

25

account of their Claims or Interests in such class. Therefore, the Plan may be confirmed despite the fact that not all Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan.

DD. Only One Plan-Section 1129(c).

62. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan is the only chapter 11 plan filed in this Chapter 11 Case.

EE. Principal Purpose of the Plan-Section 1129(d).

63. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. The principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act.

FF. Good Faith Solicitation-Section 1125(e).

64. The Debtor has acted in "good faith" within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules in connection with all of its respective activities relating to support and consummation of the Plan, including the execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Support Agreement and solicitation and receipt of acceptances of the Plan, and are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

GG. Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements.

65. Based on the foregoing, the Plan satisfies the requirements for Confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

HH. Likelihood of Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date.

66. Each of the conditions precedent to the Effective Date, as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Plan, has been or is reasonably likely to be satisfied or, as applicable, waived in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Plan.

26

II. Implementation.

67. All documents necessary to implement the Plan and all other relevant and necessary documents (including, without limitation, the documents contemplated in the Transaction Support Agreement and the New Organizational Documents) have been negotiated in good faith and at arm's length and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid, binding, and enforceable agreements and will not be in conflict with any federal or state law.

JJ. Disclosure of Facts.

68. The Debtor has disclosed all material facts regarding the Plan and the transactions contemplated therein.

KK. Good Faith.

69. The Debtor, the Released Parties, and the Releasing Parties have been and will be acting in good faith if they proceed to: (a) consummate the Plan and the agreements, settlements, transactions, and transfers contemplated thereby; and (b) take the actions authorized and directed by this Confirmation Order to reorganize the Debtor's businesses and effect the documents contemplated in the Transaction Support Agreement and the New Organizational Documents. The Released Parties have made a substantial contribution to the Debtor's reorganization.

LL. Essential Elements of the Plan.

70. The transactions described in the Transaction Support Agreement and the Implementation Plan are essential elements of the Plan, and entry into such transactions is in the best interests of the Debtor, its Estate, and its creditors. The Debtor has exercised sound business judgment in determining to enter into the transactions described in the Transaction Support Agreement and the Implementation Plan and has provided adequate notice thereof. The transactions described in the Transaction Support Agreement and the Implementation Plan have been negotiated in good faith and at arm's length among the Debtor and the other parties.

27

MM. Objections.

71. All parties have had a full and fair opportunity to litigate all issues raised in the objections to Confirmation of the Plan, or which might have been raised, and the objections have been fully and fairly litigated or resolved, including by agreed-upon reservations of rights as set forth in this Confirmation Order.

On and after the Effective Date, the appropriate officers of the Reorganized Debtor, Newco, GP, Finance Co, and Merger Co and members of the New Board shall be authorized and directed to issue, execute and deliver the agreements, documents, securities and instruments contemplated by the Plan and the Implementation Plan in the name of and on behalf of the respective entities.

The Holders of Other Secured Claims (other than Other Secured Claims that are Reinstated pursuant to the Plan) shall be authorized and directed to release any collateral or other property of the Debtor (including any Cash collateral) held by such Holder and to take such actions as may be requested by the Debtor (or the Reorganized Debtor, as the case may be) to evidence the release of any Liens, including the execution, delivery, and filing or recording of such release documents as may be requested by the Debtor (or the Reorganized Debtor, as the case may be). Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan, (a) on the Effective Date, all notes, instruments, certificates, indentures and other documents evidencing Claims, including the Convertible Notes Claim, shall be cancelled, the Notes Trustee on account of the Convertible Notes Claims shall be automatically relieved of any further obligations under the Notes Documents, and the obligations of the Debtor discharged in accordance with section

35

1141(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) on the Merger Date, all notes, instruments, certificates, indentures and other documents evidencing Senior Secured Notes Claims not previously cancelled under subsection (a) hereof, including the Retained Debt, shall be cancelled and the Notes Trustee on account of the Senior Secured Notes Claims shall be automatically relieved of any further obligations under the Notes Documents, and the obligations of the Debtor discharged in accordance with section 1141(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided however, that the Notes Documents shall survive the Effective Date, shall not be subject to the releases set forth in Article V and Article X, and shall continue in effect solely for the purposes of, with respect to the Notes Trustees, (i) allowing and instructing each Notes Trustee to receive distributions from the Debtor and to make further distributions to the applicable Holders of Claims (subject to any applicable charging liens), if applicable, and allowing such Holders to accept distributions on account of such Claims; (ii) maintaining, enforcing, and exercising any right or obligation to compensation (including any fees and expenses), indemnification, exculpation, expense reimbursement, or contribution, or any other claim or entitlement that any Notes Trustee may have under the Notes Documents or principle of law against any money or property distributed or allocable on account of such Claims and permitting any Notes Trustee to maintain, enforce and exercise its charging liens and priority of payment rights in connection with the foregoing; (iii) seeking compensation and reimbursement for any reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Notes Trustees in connection with the implementation of the Plan or this Confirmation Order; (iv) allowing the Notes Trustees to enforce their rights, claims, and interests against any Person or Entity that is not a Released Party; (v) preserving the right of the Notes Trustees to indemnification from the Debtor or any other Entity pursuant and subject to the terms of the applicable Notes Documents, including for the purposes of and relating to any steps or actions

36

taken by the Notes Trustees or documents, agreements, releases, or instruments entered into by the Notes Trustees in connection with the implementation of the Plan and the Transaction Support Agreement; (vi) permitting and directing the Notes Trustees to perform any functions that are necessary to effectuate any of the foregoing or any provisions of the Plan, this Confirmation Order and the Transaction Support Agreement; and (vii) preserving any Notes Trustee's right to appear and be heard in the Chapter 11 Case or in any other proceeding before or in the Bankruptcy Court, including to enforce any obligations owed to each Notes Trustee under the Plan or Confirmation Order or under the Notes Documents; provided, further, that all provisions in the Notes Documents which by their own terms survive the termination, discharge, expiration or maturity thereof, shall also survive and continue in full force and effect. Holders of or parties to such cancelled notes, securities, instruments, certificates, and other documents will have no rights arising from or relating to such notes, securities, instruments, certificates, and other documents, or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided for pursuant to this paragraph and the other provisions of the Plan.

93. Additional Transactions Authorized under the Plan. On or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to take any such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to Reinstate Claims or Interests or render Claims or Interests not Impaired, as provided for under the Plan, provided, however, that any such action that would be subject to the consent of the Requisite Consenting Holders pursuant to any Definitive Documentation remains subject to such consent notwithstanding this provision.

94. Provisions Governing Distributions. The distribution provisions of Article VII of the Plan shall be, and hereby are, approved in their entirety. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, the Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required under

37

the Plan. The timing of distributions required under the Plan or this Confirmation Order shall be made in accordance with and as set forth in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, as applicable.

95. Comprehensive Settlement of Claims and Controversies. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will constitute a good-faith compromise and settlement of all Claims or controversies relating to the rights that a Holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest or any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. The entry of this Confirmation Order constitutes the Bankruptcy Court's approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court's finding that all such compromises or settlements are in the best interests (a) of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Estate, and its respective property and (b) Claim and Interest holders, and are fair, equitable, and reasonable.

96. Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtor will be assumed by the Debtor in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (a) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtor by prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (c) is subject to a motion to reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease filed prior to the Effective Date, or (d) appears on the "List of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be rejected at the Combined Hearing" filed with the Plan Supplement. Entry of this Confirmation Order constitutes approval of such assumptions and the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease for which a motion

38

to reject has been filed, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any motions to assume or reject Executory Contracts of Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective Date.

97. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, including any "change of control" provision, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.

98. Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or in the ordinary course of business, subject to the limitations described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree (the "Cure Claim Amount"). In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any payments to cure such a default, (b) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the Bankruptcy Court shall hear such dispute prior to the assumption becoming effective. The Cure 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 and shall not prevent or delay implementation of the Plan or the occurrence of the Effective Date.

39

99. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of this Confirmation Order shall constitute a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that (a) each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor and its Estate, (b) the requirements of section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code are deemed satisfied, and (c) the 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 money or nonmonetary, as of the Effective Date.

100. All contracts, agreements and leases that were entered into by the Debtor or assumed by the Debtor after the Petition Date shall be deemed assigned by the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date.

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

102. Survival of Indemnification and Exculpation Obligations. The obligations of the Debtor to indemnify and exculpate any past and present directors, officers, agents, employees and representatives who provided services to the Debtor prior to or after the Petition Date, pursuant to certificates or articles of incorporation, by-laws, contracts, indentures, and/or applicable

40

statutes, in respect of all actions, suits, and proceedings against any of such officers, directors, agents, employees, and representatives, based upon any act or omission related to service with, for or on behalf of the Debtor, shall not be discharged or Impaired by Confirmation or consummation of the Plan and shall be assumed by the Reorganized Debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 10.8 of the Plan affects only the obligations of the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor with respect to any indemnity or exculpation owed to or for the benefit of past and present directors, officers, agents, employees, and representatives of the Debtor, and shall have no effect on nor in any way discharge or reduce, in whole or in part, any obligation of any other Person, including any provider of director and officer insurance, owed to or for the benefit of such past and present directors, officers, agents, employees, and representatives of the Debtor.

103. Authorization to Consummate. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to consummate the Plan at any time after the entry of this Confirmation Order subject to satisfaction or waiver (by the required parties) of the conditions precedent to Consummation set forth in Article IX of the Plan.

104. Restructuring Expenses. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall pay any and all Restructuring Expenses (as defined in the Plan).

105. Final Fee Applications. All Professionals or other entities requesting compensation or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 503 and/or section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code for services rendered before the Effective Date (including, without limitation, any compensation requested by any Professional or any other entity for making a substantial contribution in the Chapter 11 Case) shall file and serve final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims no later than the first Business Day that is 45 days after the Effective Date. Objections to any Professional Fee Claim must be filed and served on the Reorganized

41

Debtor and the applicable Professional within 21 days after the filing of the final fee application with respect to the Professional Fee Claim. Any such objections that are not consensually resolved may be set for hearing on 21 days' notice by the Professional asserting such Professional Fee Claim. The Professional Fees Escrow Account shall in no way limit or act as a cap on Professional Fee Claims.

106. Release, Exculpation, Discharge, and Injunction Provisions. The release, exculpation, discharge, injunction, and related provisions set forth in the Plan are approved and authorized as set forth on the record of the Confirmation Hearing, and such provisions are effective and binding on all Persons and Entities to the extent provided therein.

107. Management Incentive Plan. Following the Effective Date, Newco, may, in accordance with the Transaction Support Agreement, (a) reserve a certain percentage of Newco Partnership Interests as determined by Newco, on a fully diluted, fully distributed basis, for grants made from time to time to employees of the Reorganized Debtor and Newco and (b) otherwise contain terms and conditions (including with respect to participants, allocation, structure, and timing of issuance) generally consistent with those prevailing in the market at the discretion of the New Board.

108. Compliance with Tax Requirements. In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Reorganized Debtor shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding

42

taxes or establishing such other mechanisms that the Reorganized Debtor believes are reasonable and appropriate. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, reserves the right to allocate and distribute all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, Liens, and similar encumbrances.

109. Exemption from Transfer Taxes. To the maximum extent permitted pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code: (a) the issuance, transfer or exchange of equity securities under the Plan; (b) the creation of any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, pledge or other security interest; or (c) the making or delivery of any deed or other instrument of transfer under the Plan, including, without limitation, merger agreements, agreements of consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation or dissolution, deeds, bills of sale, and transfers of tangible property, will not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing, or recording fee or other similar tax or governmental assessment in the United States. The appropriate federal, state, or local governmental officials or agents shall forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

110. Insurance Policies and Agreements. Insurance policies issued to, or insurance agreements entered into by, the Debtor prior to the Petition Date (including, without limitation, any policies covering directors' or officers' conduct) shall continue in effect after the Effective Date. To the extent that such insurance policies or agreements are considered to be Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, the Plan shall constitute a motion to assume or ratify such insurance policies and agreements, and, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry

43

of this Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor and its Estate. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the Effective Date, no payments shall be required to cure any defaults of the Debtor existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to each such insurance policy.

111. Documents, Mortgages, and Instruments. Each federal, state, commonwealth, local, foreign, or other governmental agency is authorized to accept any and all documents, mortgages, and instruments necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, or consummate the Plan and this Confirmation Order.

112. Continued Effect of Stays and Injunction. All injunctions or stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Case under section 105 or section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date.

113. Nonseverability of Plan Provisions upon Confirmation. Each provision of the Plan is: (a) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (b) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified except as provided in paragraph 114 below; and (c) nonseverable and mutually dependent.

114. Amendment or Modification of the Plan. Subject to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor may alter, amend, or modify the Plan or any exhibits thereto at any time prior to or after the Confirmation Date but prior to the substantial consummation of the Plan provided that any such changes are (a) reasonably satisfactory to the Consenting Noteholders; or (b) if not reasonably satisfactory to the Consenting Noteholders, subject to a Final Order of the

44

Court after notice to the Consenting Noteholders and a hearing before the Court. Any holder of a Claim that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, or modified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, or modification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Holder.

115. Governing Law. Subject to the provisions of any contract, certificates, or articles of incorporation, by-laws, instruments, releases, or other agreements or documents entered into in connection with the Plan, and subject further to Section 11.1 of the Plan, the rights and obligations arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with (a) the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, or other federal law to the extent applicable and (b) if none of such law is applicable, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law of such jurisdiction.

116. Applicable Nonbankruptcy Law. The provisions of this Confirmation Order, the Plan and related documents, or any amendments or modifications thereto, shall apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable nonbankruptcy law.

117. Governmental Approvals Not Required. Except as set forth in paragraph 124 below, this Confirmation Order shall constitute all approvals and consents required, if any, by the laws, rules, or regulations of any state, federal, or other governmental authority with respect to the dissemination, implementation, or consummation of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, any certifications, documents, instruments, or agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereto, and any other acts referred to in, or contemplated by, the Plan and the Disclosure Statement.

118. Notice to Debtor and Reorganized Debtor. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor to be effective shall be in writing and, unless

45

otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when actually delivered or, in the case of notice by facsimile transmission, when received and telephonically confirmed, addressed as follows:

47

under the Securities Act, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any other applicable securities laws to the fullest extent permitted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or, if section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. To the extent section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code is available, the Finance Co Notes, Additional Quotient Limited Common Equity, and the Newco Partnership Interests may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws by the recipients thereof, subject to (a) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, (b) compliance with, or the limitations of, any rules and regulations of the Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such securities, (d) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such securities under the terms of the Finance Co Notes Documents or the New Organizational Documents, as applicable, and (d) applicable regulatory approval. In addition, such section 1145 exempt securities generally may be resold without registration under state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the several states.

120. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, DTC) shall be entitled to require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the initial sale and delivery by the issuer thereof to the Holders of Finance Co Notes, Additional Quotient Limited Common Equity, and the Newco Partnership Interests is exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services. DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan or Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the Finance Co Notes, Additional Quotient Limited Common Equity, and the

48

Newco Partnership Interests is exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

123. Opt-Out Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation Order, the Third-Party Release set forth in Section 10.5 of the Plan and any other provisions of the Plan invoking or effectuating the Third-Party Release set forth in Section 10.5 of the Plan, shall not apply to any holder of a Claim or Interest that (a) timely elected to opt out of the Third-Party Release by properly completing and returning an opt-out election form, or (b) timely objected to the Third-Party Release contained in the Plan, either through (i) a formal objection filed on the docket of the Chapter 11 Case or (ii) an informal objection provided to the Debtor by electronic mail, and such objection was not withdrawn on the docket of the Chapter 11 Case or via electronic mail, as applicable, before Confirmation of the Plan.

124. Governmental Units. Nothing in this Confirmation Order or the Plan discharges, releases, resolves, precludes, exculpates, or enjoins: (a) any liability to any Governmental Unit

49

that is not a Claim; (b) any Claim of a Governmental Unit arising on or after the Confirmation Date; (c) any police or regulatory liability to a Governmental Unit to the extent of such entity's liability under non-bankruptcy law on account of its status as the owner or operator of property after the Confirmation Date; or (d) any liability to a Governmental Unit on the part of any Person other than the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the scope of discharge of all Claims and Interests arising prior to the Effective Date under sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, or limit the Debtor's or Reorganized Debtor's rights under section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing in this Confirmation Order or the Plan shall affect any setoff or recoupment rights of any Governmental Unit.

125. Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date. The Debtor shall serve notice of the entry of this Confirmation Order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Confirmation Order Notice") in accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), on all known holders of Claims and Interests and the Bankruptcy Rule 2002 service list within three Business Days after the date of the entry of this Confirmation Order. On, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall file with the Court a notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the above, no notice of the Confirmation or Effective Date or service of any kind shall be required to be mailed or made upon any Entity to whom the Debtor mailed notice of the Confirmation Hearing, but received such notice returned marked "undeliverable as addressed," "moved, left no forwarding address," or "forwarding order expired," or similar reason, unless the Debtor has been informed in writing by such Entity, or are otherwise aware, of that Entity's new address. The above referenced notices are adequate under the circumstances of this Chapter 11 Case and no other or further notice is necessary.

50

126. Effect of Non-Consummation.

If the Effective Date shall not have occurred by March 3, 2023 (which date may be extended with the sole consent of Newco in accordance with that certain Subscription Agent Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2023, by and among the Debtor, Newco, and Kroll Restructuring Administration LLC (the "Subscription Agent Agreement")), all funds in the Subscription Account (as defined in the Subscription Agent Agreement) shall be promptly returned to the parties funding such amounts in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agent Agreement.

127. Substantial Consummation. On the Effective Date, the Plan shall be deemed to be substantially consummated under sections 1101 and 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code.

128. Waiver of Stay. For good cause shown, the stay of this Confirmation Order provided by any Bankruptcy Rule is waived, and this Confirmation Order shall be effective and enforceable immediately upon its entry by the Court.

129. References to and Omissions of Plan Provisions. References to articles, sections, and provisions of the Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the interpretation of the Plan. The failure to specifically include or to refer

51

to any particular article, section, or provision of the Plan in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such article, section, or provision, it being the intent of the Court that the Plan be confirmed in its entirety, except as expressly modified herein, and incorporated herein by this reference.

130. Headings. Headings utilized herein are for convenience and reference only, and do not constitute a part of the Plan or this Confirmation Order for any other purpose.

131. Effect of Conflict. This Confirmation Order supersedes any Court order issued prior to the Confirmation Date that may be inconsistent with this Confirmation Order. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Confirmation Order, then the terms of this Confirmation Order govern and control.

(a) In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article X hereof, the Reorganized Debtor shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and the Reorganized Debtor's rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, other than the Causes of Action released by the Debtor pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article X.

(b) The Reorganized Debtor may pursue such Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtor. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against it. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article X of the Plan. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserves all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or consummation.

(c) The Reorganized Debtor reserves and shall retain such Causes of Action notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Case or pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article X of the Plan. The Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtor 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 such Causes of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

5.16. Debtor's Waiver and Release of Claims Against Holders of Interests in the Debtor. On the Merger Date, the Debtor and its Estate shall forever waive, relinquish, and release any and all Causes of Action related to distributions made to any Holder of a Class 7 (Interest in Quotient Limited), including any Avoidance Actions, the Debtor and its Estate had, have, or may have had against any such Holder of a Class 7 (Interest in Quotient Limited) that (a) does not elect to opt out of the Third-Party Release contained in the Plan, (b) does not timely object to the Third-Party Release contained in the Plan, or (c) does timely object to the Third-Party Release contained in the Plan but such objection is resolved before Confirmation of the Plan.

Article VI::
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS, Unexpired Leases, AND INSURANCE POLICIES

6.1. Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the Debtor will be assumed by the Debtor in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (a) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtor by prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (c) is subject to a motion to reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease filed prior to the Effective Date, or (d) appears on the "List of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be rejected at the Combined Hearing" that will be filed with the Plan Supplement. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions and the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease for which a motion to reject has been filed, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any motions to assume or reject Executory Contracts of Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective Date. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, including any "change of control" provision, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.

6.2. Cure Obligations.

6.2.1 Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or in the ordinary course of business, subject to the limitations described in below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree (the "Cure Claim Amount"). In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any payments to cure such a default, (b) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the Bankruptcy Court shall hear such dispute prior to the assumption becoming effective. The Cure 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 and shall not prevent or delay implementation of the Plan or the occurrence of the Effective Date.

6.2.2 Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that (a) each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor and its Estate, (b) the requirements of section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code are deemed satisfied, and (c) the 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, as of the Effective Date.

28

6.2.3 Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise and full payment of any applicable Cure Claim Amount pursuant to this Article VI shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claim, 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 prior to the effective date of assumption. Any and all Proofs of Claim based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Case, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, and for which any Cure Claim Amount has been fully paid pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without the need for any objection thereto or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

6.3. Insurance Policies and Agreements. Insurance policies issued to, or insurance agreements entered into by, the Debtor prior to the Petition Date (including, without limitation, any policies covering directors' or officers' conduct) shall continue in effect after the Effective Date. To the extent that such insurance policies or agreements are considered to be Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, this Plan shall constitute a motion to assume or ratify such insurance policies and agreements, and, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of the Debtor and its Estate.

6.4. Existing Compensation and Benefit Plans. Except as noted in the next sentence, all written contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans for, among other things, compensation, bonuses, reimbursement, indemnity, health care benefits, disability benefits, deferred compensation benefits, travel benefits, vacation and sick leave benefits, savings, severance benefits, retirement benefits, welfare benefits, relocation programs, life insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance shall be deemed assumed and assigned by the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date. On or after the Effective Date, each current employee who is currently party to an employment agreement with the Debtor (each, an "Employment Agreement") shall either: (a) have such Employment Agreement assigned to Newco; or (b) receive a new employment agreement on terms satisfactory to such employee and to the Requisite Consenting Holders.

6.5. Postpetition Contracts and Leases. All contracts, agreements and leases that were entered into by the Debtor or assumed by the Debtor after the Petition Date in compliance with the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement shall be deemed assigned by the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date.

6.6. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

29

6.7. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date. In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Article VII::

7.1. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date (or if a Claim is not an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, on the date that such a Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article VIII. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Claims or Interests shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall, on account of such Allowed Claim, receive a distribution in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim. All distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent.

7.2. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan and 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 have been resolved by settlement or Final Order. In the event that there are Disputed Claims requiring adjudication and resolution, the relevant Disbursing Agent shall establish appropriate reserves for potential payment of such Claims.

7.3. Means of Cash Payment. Payments of Cash made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of relevant Disbursing Agent by (a) checks or (b) wire transfers. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of the relevant Disbursing Agent, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

7.4. Minimum; De Minimis Distributions. No Cash payment of less than $25.00, in the reasonable discretion of the relevant Disbursing Agent, shall be made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of such Allowed Claim.

7.5. Withholding and Reporting Requirements. In connection with this Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Disbursing Agent and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding

30

and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes or establishing such other mechanisms that the Disbursing Agent and Reorganized Debtor, as appropriate, believes are reasonable and appropriate. All persons holding Claims or Interests shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes. Each Holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution pursuant to this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. No distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to this Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent and Reorganized Debtor, as appropriate, for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

7.6. Compliance Matters. The Disbursing Agent shall be entitled to allocate and distribute all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, Liens and similar encumbrances.

7.7. Setoff and Recoupment. The Disbursing Agent may, pursuant to sections 553 and/or 558 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy laws, but shall not be required to, set off and/or recoup against any Claim the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Claim, or claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided,however, that neither the failure to assert such rights of setoff and/or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may assert against any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

7.8. Reinstated Claims. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing shall affect, diminish or impair the Debtor's or the Reorganized Debtor's rights and defenses, both legal and equitable, with respect to any Reinstated Claim, including, but not limited to, legal and equitable rights of setoff and/or recoupment against the Holders of any Reinstated Claims.

7.9. Undeliverable or Non-Negotiated Distributions and Unclaimed Property. In the event that any distribution to any Holder of Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests (as applicable) is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then-current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest; provided that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one year from the Effective Date. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor automatically and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy Court (notwithstanding any applicable federal, provincial or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and any Claim or Interest of any Holder related to such property shall be discharged and forever barred.

31

7.10. Claims Paid by Third Parties. To the extent a Holder receives a distribution on account of an Allowed Claim and also receives payment from a party that is not the Disbursing Agent on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within thirty calendar days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the Disbursing Agent, to the extent the Holder's total recovery on account of such Allowed Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of the Allowed Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

7.11. Applicability of Insurance Policies. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtor or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

7.12. Allocations. Unless otherwise required by law (as reasonably determined by the Debtors), distributions in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claims, to the remainder of such Claims, including any portion of such Claims for accrued but unpaid interest as Allowed herein.

Article VIII::
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,
UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

8.1. Disputed Claims Process. Notwithstanding section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in light of the Unimpaired status of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims under this Plan, Holders of Claims need not File Proofs of Claim, and the Reorganized Debtor and the Holders of Claims shall determine, adjudicate, and resolve any disputes over the validity and amounts of such Claims in the ordinary course of business as if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced except that (unless expressly waived pursuant to this Plan) the Allowed amount of such Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 502 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent applicable. All Proofs of Claim Filed in this Chapter 11 Case shall be considered objected to and Disputed without further action by the Debtor. Upon the Effective Date, all Proofs of Claim Filed against the Debtor, regardless of the time of filing, and including Proofs of Claim Filed after the Effective Date, shall be deemed withdrawn and expunged, other than as provided below. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, disputes regarding the amount of any Cure Claim Amount pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Claims that the Debtor seeks to have determined by the Bankruptcy Court, shall in all cases be determined by the Bankruptcy Court.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no requirement to File a Proof of Claim (or move the Bankruptcy Court for Allowance) to be an Allowed Claim under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Entities must File Cure Claim Amount objections as set forth in Section 6.2 of this Plan to the extent such Entity disputes the amount of the Cure Claim Amount paid or proposed to be paid by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor to a counterparty.

32

8.2. Allowance of Claims. After the Effective Date and subject to the terms of this Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Debtor may affirmatively determine to deem Unimpaired Claims Allowed to the same extent such Claims would be allowed under applicable non-bankruptcy law.

8.3. Claims Administration Responsibilities. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall have the sole authority to: (a) reconcile, file, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims or Interests; (b) settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (c) administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided herein, from and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim or Interest.

8.4. Disallowance of Claims. Any Claims held by an Entity that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Final Order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the applicable Entity.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Persons or Entities who have held, hold or may hold Claims or Interests that arose prior to the Effective Date and all other parties-in-interest, along with their respective present or former employees, agents, officers, directors, principals, representatives and Affiliates, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind with respect to any such Claim (including a Section 510(b) Claim) against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtor or property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to the Plan, (b) the enforcement, attachment, collection or recovery by any manner or means of any judgment, award, decree or order against the Reorganized Debtor or property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to this Plan, (c) creating, perfecting or enforcing any Lien or encumbrance of any kind against the Reorganized Debtor or against the property or interests in property of the Reorganized Debtor, other than to enforce any right to a distribution pursuant to this Plan or (d) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from the Reorganized Debtor or against the property or interests in property of the Reorganized Debtor, with respect to any such Claim or Interest.

As of the Effective Date, each Released Party will be deemed released and discharged by each and all of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, and their Estate, in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns, and representatives, and any and all other entities who may purport to assert any Cause of Action, directly or derivatively, by, through, for, or because of the foregoing entities, from any and all claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, causes of action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or its Estate, as applicable, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or its Estate or Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the holder of any claim against, or interest in, the Debtor or other entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtor, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any claim or interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between the Debtor and any Released Party, the Debtor's in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions, the Chapter 11 Case, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, filing, or consummation of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Transaction Support Agreement, or any other restructuring transaction, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with the Disclosure Statement or the Plan, the filing of the Chapter 11 Case, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the pursuit of consummation of the Plan, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance or distribution of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, or upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date, other than claims or liabilities primarily arising out of or relating to any act or omission

Article XII::
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

12.1. Effectuating Documents and Further Transactions. Each of the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor is authorized to execute, deliver, file or record such contracts, instruments, certificates, notes, 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 this Plan, the Implementation Plan, the Additional Quotient Limited Common Equity, the Newco Partnership Interests, the GP Membership Interests and the Finance Co Notes issued under or in connection with this Plan.

12.2. Exemption from Transfer Taxes. To the maximum extent permitted pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code: (a) the issuance, transfer or exchange of equity securities under this Plan; (b) the creation of any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, pledge or other security interest; or (c) the making or delivery of any deed or other instrument of transfer under this Plan, including, without limitation, merger agreements, agreements of consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation or dissolution, deeds, bills of sale, and transfers of tangible property, will not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing, or recording fee or other similar tax or governmental assessment in the United States. The Confirmation Order shall direct the appropriate federal, state, or local governmental officials or agents to forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

12.3. Payment of Statutory Fees. All fees due and payable pursuant to section 1930(a)(6) of Title 28 of the United States Code ("Quarterly Fees") prior to the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtor on the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall be liable for any and all Quarterly Fees when they are due and payable after the Effective Date. The Debtor shall file all Monthly Reports due prior to the Effective Date when they become due, in a form reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Trustee. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall file with the Bankruptcy Court Quarterly Reports in a form reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Trustee, which reports shall include a separate schedule of disbursements made by the Reorganized Debtor during the applicable period, attested to by an authorized representative of the Reorganized Debtor. The Reorganized Debtor shall remain obligated to pay Quarterly Fees to the U.S. Trustee until the earliest of the Debtor's cases being closed, dismissed or converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

12.4. Amendment or Modification of this Plan. Subject to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor may alter, amend or modify this Plan or any exhibits thereto at any time prior to or after the Confirmation Date but prior to the substantial consummation of this Plan, solely in accordance with the Transaction Support Agreement. Any Holder of a Claim that has accepted this Plan shall be deemed to have accepted this Plan, as altered, amended or modified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, or modification is made in accordance with the Transaction

43

Support Agreement and does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Holder.

12.5. Severability of Plan Provisions. If, prior to the Confirmation Date, any term or provision of this Plan is determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court will have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision will then be applicable as altered or interpreted, provided that any such holding, alteration or interpretation complies and is consistent with the Transaction Support Agreement and does not adversely impact the Holders of Convertible Notes Claims, Holders of Bridge Notes Claims and Holders of Senior Secured Notes Claims. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of this Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination and will provide that each term and provision of this Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

12.6. Closing of Chapter 11 Case; Caption Change. The Reorganized Debtor shall, promptly after the full administration of the Chapter 11 Case, file with the Bankruptcy Court all documents required by Bankruptcy Rule 3022 and any applicable order of the Bankruptcy Court to close the Chapter 11 Case, provided, as of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor may submit separate orders to the Bankruptcy Court under certification of counsel closing each of the closing cases and changing the caption of the Chapter 11 Case accordingly, provided further that matters concerning Claims may be heard and adjudicated in a remaining case regardless of whether the applicable Claim is against a Debtor in a closing case. Nothing in this Plan shall authorize the closing of any case nunc pro tunc to a date that precedes the date any such order is entered. Any request for nunc pro tunc relief shall be made on motion served on the United States Trustee, and the Bankruptcy Court shall rule on such request after notice and a hearing. Upon the filing of a motion to close the last remaining case, the Reorganized Debtor shall file a final report with respect to all of the Chapter 11 Case pursuant to Local Rule 3022-1(c).

12.7. Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor, and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation, the Reorganized Debtor. The rights, benefits and obligations of any entity named or referred to in this Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of such entity.

12.8. Non-Consummation. If consummation of this Plan does not occur, then (a) this Plan shall be null and void in all respects, (b) any settlement or compromise embodied in this Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount certain any Claim or Interest or Class of Claims or Interests), assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases affected by this Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed null and void, and (c) nothing contained in this Plan shall (i) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, the Debtor or any other Person, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor, or any other Person, or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtor, or any other Person.
