Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on May 11, 2019, Bristow Group Inc. (the “Company”, “Bristow Group”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and its subsidiaries BHNA Holdings Inc., Bristow Alaska Inc., Bristow Helicopters Inc., Bristow U.S. Leasing LLC, Bristow U.S. LLC (“Bristow U.S.”), BriLog Leasing Ltd. (“Brilog”) and Bristow Equipment Leasing Ltd. (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered under the caption In re: Bristow Group Inc., et al., Main Case No. 19-32713. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Omnibus Agreement

On October 3, 2019, the Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) among Bristow Equipment Leasing Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”), PK Transportation Finance Ireland Limited, as lender (the “Lender”), PK AirFinance S.à r.l., as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for the Lender, and PK AirFinance S.à r.l., as security trustee (in such capacity, the “Security Trustee”) for the MAG Agent and the MAG Parties (each as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined herein)), the Agent and the Lender. Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, among other matters, the parties have agreed, effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the Omnibus Agreement (the “Agreement Effective Date”), to amend that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2017, by and among the Borrower, the Agent, the Security Trustee and the Lender (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”), to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the 24 loans made under the Credit Agreement (the “Loans”) by 18 months to January 27, 2025 and increase the principal amount of the Loans in an aggregate amount of approximately $17.3 million. The Omnibus Agreement also updates the amortization schedule as of October 3, 2019 to provide that, among other things, only interest will be payable on the Loans for the six months following the Agreement Effective Date, with a balloon amount of approximately $104,201,048 due on the maturity date. If the Loans are refinanced by full prepayment during the six-month period following the Effective Date (as defined herein), no prepayment penalty will be due. Each Loan is secured by an aircraft which has been pledged as collateral for the Loans.

The Omnibus Agreement also provides that the Borrower Guarantee and Indemnity Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be reduced by the amount of increased principal when paid. In addition, the Omnibus Agreement adjusts the information covenants under the Credit Agreement such that the Company shall provide a copy of the annual audit report for each fiscal year for the Company and its subsidiaries as soon as available and in any event within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year of the Company (or, in the case of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, by October 31, 2019), and quarterly financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company (and, in the case of each of the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, by December 31, 2019). In the Omnibus Agreement, the Lender also agreed to waive certain events of default arising from breaches of covenants in other agreements as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and failure to provide its financial statements by their required due dates.

The foregoing description of the Omnibus Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Omnibus Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2019, the Debtors filed a joint chapter 11 plan of reorganization and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, and on August 20, 2019, the Debtors filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (as subsequently modified on August 22, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the “Plan”) and the related disclosure statement for the Plan (as subsequently modified on August 22, 2019, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. On August 26, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order conditionally approving the Disclosure Statement and approving the Debtors’ commencement of solicitation of votes on the Plan. On October 8, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) approving the Disclosure Statement and confirming the Plan. The Plan is attached as Exhibit A to the Confirmation Order, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Debtors expect that the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”) will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied. Although the Debtors are targeting occurrence of the Effective Date as soon as reasonably practicable, the Debtors can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective. It is also possible that technical amendments could be made to the Plan prior to the Effective Date.

Under the Plan, the Debtors’ new organizational documents (the “New Organizational Documents”) will become effective on the Effective Date. The New Organizational Documents will authorize the Company to issue new equity, certain of which will be issued to holders of allowed claims pursuant to the Plan on the Effective Date.

Exit Financing

The Plan is expected to be funded by the following exit financings, subject to certain customary conditions:

•

up to $100 million in aggregate principal amount under a new secured credit facility (the “Exit Facility”) that the Reorganized Company and/or certain other Reorganized Debtors will enter into on the Effective Date;

•

if the Debtors do not enter into the Exit Facility on or prior to the Effective Date, $75 million in aggregate principal amount under a reinstated secured term loan facility to be entered into by the Reorganized Debtors; and

•

$385 million in proceeds from the Rights Offering, backstopped by the Backstop Commitment Parties.

Post-Emergence Governance and Management

On the Effective Date, and in accordance with the terms of the Plan confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, the term of any current members of the board of directors of the Company will expire, and they will resign from the board with the exception of L. Don Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who will remain on the board, and a new board of directors of the Company (the “New Board”) will take office. The New Board will consist of eight members pursuant to the New Organizational Documents, and is expected to include Mr. Miller, Robert J. Manzo, Wesley Kern, Lorin Brass, G. Mark Mickelson, Hooman Yazhari and Brian Truelove. One director has yet to be designated. The remaining director will be an independent director designated by the Nominating Committee pursuant to the New Organizational Documents. The Company’s current officers are expected to remain in their current positions after the consummation of the transactions necessary to implement the Plan.

Management Incentive Plan

As part of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court has approved the allocation of New Stock to a Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”), which is an equity-based compensation plan for directors, officers and participating employees of the Reorganized Debtors and affiliates, pursuant to which the Company may issue up to 4.0% of the New Stock on a fully diluted basis (of which 4.0%, 60.0% thereof will be in grants of restricted units and 40.0% will be in options) (the “Initial MIP Amount”). Following the Effective Date, the New Board will determine the terms and conditions of the MIP in excess of the Initial MIP Amount, which, in the aggregate and inclusive of the Initial MIP Amount, will be between 5.0% and 10.0% of the New Stock on a fully diluted basis (with the ratio of such New Common Stock and New Preferred Stock to be the same as the ratio of all New Common Stock to New Preferred Stock held by the average Backstop Commitment Party as set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement). The MIP is described in additional detail in the Amended Plan Supplement filed with the Bankruptcy Court on October 2, 2019, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Settlement, Releases and Exculpations

The Plan provides releases and exculpations for the benefit of the Debtors, certain of the Debtors’ claimholders, other parties in interest and various parties related thereto, each in their capacity as such, from various claims and causes of action, as further set forth in Article IV of the Plan.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Term Sheet Regarding Restructuring of Macquarie Credit Agreement

On October 3, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court approved a term sheet (the “Macquarie Term Sheet”) among the Company, as guarantor, Bristow U.S., as borrower and lessee, BriLog, as lessee, Macquarie Bank Limited, as administrative agent and security agent, Macquarie Leasing LLC, as lender and owner participant, and Macquarie Rotorcraft Leasing Holdings Limited, as owner participant, pursuant to which, among other matters, the parties have agreed to enter into definitive documentation at emergence for an amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2017 (as supplemented and amended to date, the “Macquarie Credit Agreement”), by and among Bristow U.S., as borrower and mortgagor, Macquarie Bank Limited, as administrative agent and security agent, and Macquarie Leasing LLC, as the current lender.

The definitive documentation contemplated by the Macquarie Term Sheet will also adjust the information covenants under the Macquarie Credit Agreement such that the Company shall provide a copy of the annual audit report for each fiscal year for the Company and its subsidiaries as soon as available and in any event within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year of the Company (or, in the case of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, by October 31, 2019), and quarterly financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company (and, in the case of each of the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, by December 31, 2019).

Other

The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that its equity holders may experience a significant or complete loss of their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases.

All Unsubscribed Shares of New Common Stock and New Preferred Stock issued to the Backstop Commitment Parties pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Agreement (other than shares of New Common Stock and New Preferred Stock issued on account of the Backstop Commitment Fee) will be issued without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local law in reliance on section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Persons who purchase the New Common Stock or the New Preferred Stock pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder will hold “restricted securities.” Resales of such restricted securities would not be exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Holders of restricted securities would, however, be permitted to resell New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock without registration if they are able to comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 144A or any other registration exemption under the Securities Act, or if such securities are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The New Common Stock issued as part of the Unsecured Common Equity Pool and the 1145 Rights Offering Stock shall be reflected through the facilities of DTC, and neither the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, nor any other Person shall be required to provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of such New Common Stock under applicable securities laws.

DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan or Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the New Common Stock issued as part of the Unsecured Common Equity Pool or the 1145 Rights Offering Stock are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

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 New Common Stock issued as part of the Unsecured Common Equity Pool or the 1145 Rights Offering Stock are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

L. Vesting of Assets

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, on the Effective Date, all property in each Debtor’s Estate, all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by each of the Debtors under the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and pursue, compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.

M. Cancellation of Instruments, Certificates, and Other Documents

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, on the Effective Date, (a) all notes, instruments, Certificates, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests, including the Indentures, (b) if the Debtors enter into the Exit Facility, the 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement, and (c) any other credit agreements and indentures, shall be terminated and canceled and the obligations of the Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be deemed satisfied in full and discharged and the Indenture Trustees shall be released from all duties thereunder without any need for further action or approval by the Bankruptcy Court or any Holder or other person. In addition to the foregoing, the Indentures and the 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement shall survive the occurrence of the Effective Date and shall continue in effect solely to the extent necessary to: (i) allow a disbursing agent, the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent or the Indenture Trustees to make distributions under the Plan to the Holders of Secured Notes Claims, Unsecured Notes Claims and 2019 Term Loan Facility Claims, as applicable; (ii) allow the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Indenture Trustees and the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent to make post-Effective Date distributions or take such other action pursuant to the Plan on account of Allowed Secured Notes Claims, Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims and Allowed 2019 Term Loan Facility Claims, as applicable, and to otherwise exercise their rights and discharge their obligations relating to the interests of the Holders of such Claims in accordance with the Plan; (iii) allow the Indenture Trustees and the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent to enforce their rights, claims and interests vis-à-vis any parties other than the Debtors; (iv) allow the Indenture Trustees and the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent to maintain or assert any rights it may have against the distributions to Holders of Secured Notes Claims, Unsecured Notes Claims and 2019 Term Loan Facility Claims, as applicable pursuant to the terms of the Indentures or 2019 Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement, as applicable, for the payment of outstanding fees, expenses and indemnification obligations arising under (and due pursuant to the terms of) the Indentures; provided that except as expressly provided in this Section IV.M, nothing in this Section IV.M shall affect the discharge of Claims pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order or the Plan or result in any liability or expense to the Reorganized Debtors; (v) permit the Indenture Trustees and the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent to assert their respective charging liens; (vi) permit the Indenture Trustees and the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent to appear in the Chapter 11 Cases; and (vii) allow the Indenture Trustees and the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent to maintain any right of indemnification, contribution, subrogation or any other claim or entitlement they may have under the applicable Indentures and 2019 Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement. Except for the foregoing with respect to such other rights of the Indenture Trustees that survive the Indentures, the Indenture Trustees and their respective agents shall be relieved of all further duties and responsibilities related to the Indentures and the Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, on or after the Effective Date, all duties and responsibilities of the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent arising under or related to the 2019 Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement shall be discharged except to the extent required in order to effectuate the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in the Plan shall in any way limit or affect the standing of the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent to appear and be heard in the Chapter 11 Cases on and after the Effective Date. The 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its professionals) incurred in connection with the matters set forth in this Section IV.M.

If the record holder of the Secured Notes or Unsecured Notes is DTC or its nominee or another securities depository or custodian thereof, and such Secured Notes or Unsecured Notes are represented by a global security held by or on behalf of DTC or such other securities depository or custodian, then each such Holder of the Secured Notes or Unsecured Notes shall be deemed to have surrendered such Holder’s note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness upon surrender of such global security by DTC or such other securities depository or custodian thereof.

N. Corporate Action

On and after the Effective Date, all actions contemplated by the Plan are and shall be deemed authorized and approved by the Bankruptcy Court in all respects without any further corporate or equity holder action, including, as applicable: (1) the adoption, execution, and/or filing of the New Organizational Documents and the New Shareholders’ Agreement; (2) the selection of the directors, managers, and officers for the Reorganized Debtors, including the appointment of the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board; (3) the authorization, issuance, entry into and distribution, as applicable, of the Exit Facility, the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Facility, the Amended PK Air Credit Facility Agreement, the New Common Stock and the New Preferred Stock and the execution, delivery, and filing of any documents pertaining thereto, as applicable; (4) the rejection, assumption, or assumption and assignment, as applicable, of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (5) the formation of any Entities pursuant to the Restructuring Transactions; (6) the implementation of the Restructuring Transactions, including any transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions Exhibit; (7) the adoption of the Management Incentive Plan by the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board; and (8) all other actions contemplated by the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date). Upon the Effective Date, all matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate, partnership, limited liability company, or other governance action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further corporate or other action by any Security holders, members, directors, or officers of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

On or before the Effective Date, as applicable, the appropriate directors and officers of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall be (or shall be deemed to have been) authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments contemplated by the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions) in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, including and any and all other agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing, to the extent not previously authorized by the Bankruptcy Court. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by this Article IV.N shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy law.

O. Corporate Existence

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, on the Effective Date, each Debtor shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form of entity, as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form of entity, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or other analogous formation documents) in effect before the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other analogous formation, constituent or governance documents) is amended by the Plan or otherwise, and to the extent any such document is amended, such document is deemed to be amended pursuant to the Plan and requires no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state or federal law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors reserve the right to modify the Debtors’ corporate structure as of the Effective Date, including by merger or liquidation of any Reorganized Debtor or otherwise.

P. New Organizational Documents

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other formation and constituent documents relating to limited liability companies) shall be amended or amended and restated, as applicable, as may be required to be consistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Restructuring Support Agreement (including the Governance Term Sheet) the New Organizational Documents, as applicable, and the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent required under the Plan or applicable nonbankruptcy law, the Reorganized Debtors will file their respective New Organizational Documents with the applicable Secretaries of State and/or other applicable authorities in their respective states, provinces, or countries of incorporation in accordance with the corporate laws of the respective states, provinces, or countries of incorporation.

The New Organizational Documents shall, among other things: (1) authorize the issuance of the New Common Stock and the New Preferred Stock; and (2) pursuant to and only to the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, include a provision prohibiting the issuance of non-voting equity Securities. After the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor may amend and restate its certificate of incorporation and other formation and constituent documents as permitted by the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation and the terms of the New Organizational Documents. It is currently expected that the Reorganized Debtors’ organizational documents will be amended immediately following Confirmation to incorporate provisions that preclude foreign control and prevent foreign ownership of the Reorganized Debtors from exceeding specified limitations required by U.S. federal law governing air carriers. These amendments will involve safeguards to ensure that at no time will the Reorganized Debtors (including Reorganized Bristow Parent) be out of compliance with the foreign ownership limitations contained in such laws.

Q. Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions

On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors and the officers and members of the boards of directors and managers (or other relevant governing body) thereof, including the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board, shall be authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, Securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the Amended PK Air Credit Facility Agreement, the Exit Facility Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement, as applicable, and the Securities issued pursuant to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorizations, or consents except for those expressly required under the Plan.

R. Section 1146(a) Exemption

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers (whether from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any other Person) of property under the Plan (including the Restructuring Transactions) or pursuant to: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, equity Security, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; (2) the creation, modification, consolidation, termination, refinancing, and/or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (3) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; (4) the grant of Collateral (or other property identified as “Collateral” therein) as security for the Amended PK Air Credit Facility Agreement, the Exit Facility or the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement, as applicable; or (5) the making, delivery, or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan (including the Restructuring Transactions), shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego 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, recordation fee, or governmental assessment. All filing or recording officers (or any other Person with authority over any of the foregoing), wherever located and by whomever appointed, shall comply with the requirements of section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment, and shall accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

S. Directors and Officers

As of the Effective Date, the term of the current members of the boards of directors of the Debtors shall expire, and the initial boards of directors, including the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board, as well as the officers of each of the Reorganized Debtors, shall be appointed in accordance with the New Organizational Documents and other constituent documents of each Reorganized Debtor. As set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement (including the Governance Term Sheet), the initial Reorganized Bristow Parent Board shall consist of 7 directors, with the directors of the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board being appointed consistent with the Governance Term Sheet and the New Organizational Documents. The Reorganized Debtors will comply with the requirements set forth in 49 U.S.C. § 40102(a)(15)(C) with respect to the citizenship of its officers, directors and senior management team.

The New Organizational Documents and the New Shareholders’ Agreement shall provide that any independent director appointed to the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board shall be unaffiliated with any person that has designation rights for the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board.

Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will, to the extent reasonably practicable, disclose in advance of the Confirmation Hearing the identity and affiliations of any Person proposed to serve on the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board, as well as those Persons that will serve as officers of the Reorganized Debtors. 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 will also be disclosed. Provisions regarding the removal, appointment, and replacement of members of the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board will be disclosed in the New Organizational Documents.

T. Preservation of Causes of Action

Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan, including pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan or a Final Order, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, such Causes of Action shall be Retained Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Plan Supplement, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Retained Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. 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 them as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan, including pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan or a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve 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. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance will any Cause of Action preserved pursuant to this Article IV.T include any claim or Cause of Action with respect to, or against, a Released Party that is released under Article VIII of the Plan.

In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action preserved pursuant to the first paragraph of this Article IV.T that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors. The applicable Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtors 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, or to decline to do any of the foregoing, without the consent or approval of any third party or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

U. Milestone Settlement

The terms of the Milestone Settlement are fully incorporated into the Plan by reference, and the Debtors and the Milestone Parties shall abide by the terms of the Milestone Settlement Order, including the payment by the Debtors, no later than the Effective Date, of the reasonable and documented professional fees of the Milestone Parties as set forth in the Milestone Settlement Order. To the extent of a conflict between this Plan and the Milestone Settlement Order, the Milestone Settlement Order will control.

V. Macquarie Settlement

The terms of the Macquarie Settlement are fully incorporated into the Plan by reference, and the Debtors and the Macquarie Parties shall abide by the terms of the Macquarie Settlement Order, including the payment by the Debtors of the reasonable and documented professional fees of the Macquarie Parties as and to the extent set forth in the Macquarie Settlement Order. To the extent of a conflict between this Plan and the Macquarie Settlement Order, the Macquarie Settlement Order will control.

W. Indenture Trustee Expenses

On the Effective Date, and without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall distribute Cash to the Indenture Trustees in an amount equal to the Indenture Trustee Expenses without a reduction to recoveries to Holders of the Secured Notes Claims or Unsecured Notes Claims; provided that the Indenture Trustees shall provide the Debtors with the invoices (subject to redaction to preserve attorney-client privilege) for which they seek payment no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Effective Date. If the Debtors dispute any Indenture Trustee Expenses, the Debtors shall (i) pay the undisputed portion of the Indenture Trustee Expenses, (ii) notify the Indenture Trustees with respect to any disputed portion of the Indenture Trustee Expenses within ten (10) days after presentation of the invoices by the Indenture Trustees, and (iii) escrow the amount of any disputed portion of the Indenture Trustee Expenses pending any resolution. Upon such notification, the applicable Indenture Trustee may submit such dispute for resolution by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein affects the Indenture Trustees’ rights to exercise their respective charging liens pursuant to the terms of the applicable Indentures.

To the extent the Indenture Trustees provide services or incur costs or expenses, including professional fees, related to or in connection with the Plan, the Confirmation Order or the Indentures after the Effective Date, such Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Reorganized Debtors, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred with such services. The payment of such compensation and expenses will be made promptly or as otherwise agreed to by the applicable Indenture Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors.

The payment of the applicable Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee as set forth in the applicable indenture or bond agreement shall be considered a distribution on account of Unsecured Notes Claims.

X. Closing the Chapter 11 Cases

On and after the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall be permitted to close all of the Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors except for the Chapter 11 Case of Bristow Parent and any other Debtor identified in the Restructuring Transactions Exhibit as having its Chapter 11 Case remain open following the Effective Date, and all contested matters relating to any of the Debtors, including objections to Claims, shall be administered and heard in the Chapter 11 Case of Bristow Parent, irrespective of whether such Claim(s) were Filed against a Debtor whose Chapter 11 Case was closed.

When all Disputed Claims have become Allowed or disallowed and all distributions have been made in accordance with the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall seek authority to close any remaining Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.

ARTICLE V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A. Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Unless otherwise assumed or rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Milestone Settlement Order and the Macquarie Settlement Order) entered prior to the Effective Date, on the Effective Date, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is listed on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, if any. The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the

above-described assumptions, rejections, and assumptions and assignments. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Backstop Commitment Agreement and Restructuring Support Agreement shall be assumed on the Effective Date, and the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s authorization for the Debtors to enter into the Backstop Commitment Agreement and Restructuring Support Agreement as of the Confirmation Date and perform any and all obligations of the Debtors thereunder.

Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors and the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases 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. To the extent applicable, no change of control (or similar provision) will be deemed to occur under any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

If certain, but not all, of a contract counterparty’s Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases are assumed pursuant to the Plan, the Confirmation Order shall be a determination that such counterparty’s Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases that are being rejected pursuant to the Plan are severable agreements that are not integrated with those Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases that are being assumed pursuant to the Plan. Parties seeking to contest this finding with respect to their Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases must file a timely objection to the Plan on the grounds that their agreements are integrated and not severable, and any such dispute shall be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing (to the extent not resolved by the parties prior to the Confirmation Hearing).

B. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases

Counterparties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases listed on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, if any, shall be served with a notice of rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Plan Supplement. Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, if any, must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court within 30 days after the date of the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that are not Filed within such time will be automatically disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or property of the foregoing parties, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in a Proof of Claim to the contrary. Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III of the Plan.

C. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay all Cure Costs relating to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are being assumed under the Plan. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, all requests for payment of Cure Costs that differ from the amounts paid or proposed to be paid by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to a counterparty must be Filed with the Solicitation Agent on or before 14 days after receiving the applicable Cure Notice. Any such request that is not timely Filed shall be disallowed and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Any Cure Costs shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of the applicable Cure Costs; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Reorganized Debtors from paying any Cure Costs despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to file such request for payment of such Cure Costs. The Reorganized Debtors

also may settle any Cure Costs (with the reasonable consent of the Required RSA Parties, and unless the Creditors’ Committee is dissolved, after satisfying the Committee Consent Right) without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, any objection to the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease under the Plan must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Confirmation Hearing. Any such objection will be scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing or at the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’, as applicable, first scheduled omnibus hearing for which such objection is timely Filed. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed to have consented to such assumption.

If there is any dispute regarding any Cure Costs, the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then payment of any Cure Costs shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right at any time to move to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease based upon the existence of any such unresolved dispute. If the Bankruptcy Court determines that the Allowed Cure Cost with respect to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is greater than the amount set forth in the applicable Cure Notice, the Debtors (with the reasonable consent of the Required RSA Parties, and unless the Creditors’ Committee is dissolved, after satisfying the Committee Consent Right) shall have the right to add such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, in which case such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date subject to the applicable counterparty’s right to object to such rejection.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise and full payment of any applicable Cure Costs pursuant to this Article V.C shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures, Claims, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time 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 Cases, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, and for which any Cure Costs have been fully paid pursuant to this Article V.C, 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.

D. Indemnification

On and as of the Effective Date, the Indemnification Obligations will be assumed, irrevocable with respect to any claims relating to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Date, and will survive the effectiveness of the Plan, and the New Organizational Documents will provide for the indemnification, defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of, and advancement of fees and expenses to the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’ directors, officers, employees, or agents that were employed by, or serving on the board of directors (or similar governing body) of, any of the Debtors as of the Petition Date and/or at any time in the period between the Petition Date and the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permitted by law and at least to the same extent as the organizational documents of each of the respective Debtors on the Petition Date or the applicable period between the Petition Date and the Effective Date, against any Claims or Causes of Action whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, and, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, none of the Reorganized Debtors will amend and/or restate the New Organizational Documents before or after the Effective Date to terminate or adversely affect any of the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations to provide such indemnification rights or such directors’, officers’, employees’, or agents’ indemnification rights with respect to any claims relating to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Date.

E. Insurance Policies

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, all of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall be deemed to

have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto, including all D&O Liability Insurance Policies (including tail coverage liability insurance). Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ assumption of all such insurance policies, including the D&O Liability Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption of insurance policies, including the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim or Claim for Cure Costs need be Filed, and shall survive the Effective Date.

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall purchase and maintain tail coverage under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies for the six-year period following the Effective Date on terms no less favorable than under, and with an aggregate limit of liability no less than the aggregate limit of liability under, the existing D&O Liability Insurance Policies. In addition to such tail coverage, the D&O Liability Insurance Policies shall remain in place in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Cases.

F. Employee Compensation and Benefits

1. Compensation and Benefits Programs

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for:

(a)

all employee equity or equity-based incentive plans, and any provisions set forth in the Compensation and Benefits Programs that provide for rights to acquire Interests in any of the Debtors;

(b)

any Compensation and Benefits Programs that, as of the entry of the Confirmation Order, have been specifically waived by the beneficiaries of any employee benefit plan or contract;

(c)

any agreement or arrangement between a Debtor and a former insider as of the Petition Date;

(d)

any deferred compensation plan for any participant that is not a current employee on the Effective Date; and

(e)

Compensation and Benefits Programs that have been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or is listed on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Any assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs pursuant to the terms herein shall not be deemed to trigger any applicable change of control, immediate vesting, termination, or similar provisions therein. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Programs assumed pursuant to the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption.

2. Workers’ Compensation Programs.

As of the Effective Date, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under: (a) all applicable workers’ compensation laws in states in which the Reorganized Debtors operate; and (b) the Debtors’ written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers’ compensation bonds, policies, programs, and plans for workers’ compensation and workers’ compensation insurance. All Proofs of Claim on account of workers’ compensation shall be deemed withdrawn automatically and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, Causes of Action, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans; provided further that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable state law.

G. Contracts and Leases After the Petition Date

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, will be performed by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such contracts and leases that are not rejected under the Plan shall survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

H. Reservation of Rights

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

I. 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 VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A. Distributions on Account of Claims and Interests Allowed as of the Effective Date

Except as otherwise provided herein, in a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) and the Holder of the applicable Claim or Interest, on the first Distribution Date, the Distribution Agent shall make initial distributions under the Plan on account of Claims and Interests Allowed on or before the Effective Date; provided, however, that (1) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice, and (2) Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid in accordance with Article II.C. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and the Holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business. A Distribution Date shall occur no more frequently than once in every 90-day period after the Effective Date, as necessary, in the Reorganized Debtors’ sole discretion.

B. Rights and Powers of the Distribution Agent

1. Powers of Distribution Agent

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

2. Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date

Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Distribution Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) made by the Distribution Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.

C. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims

Except as otherwise agreed 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. Any dividends or other distributions arising from property distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims in a Class and paid to such Holders under the Plan shall also be paid, in the applicable amounts, to any Holder of a Disputed Claim in such Class that becomes an Allowed Claim after the date or dates that such dividends or other distributions were earlier paid to Holders of Allowed Claims in such Class.

Any fund established to hold consideration to be received under the Plan pending resolution of Disputed Claims shall be treated as a “disputed ownership fund” pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9. Any such fund shall, therefore, be subject to entity-level taxation. For the avoidance of doubt, any New Stock shall not be issued to such fund; rather, Reorganized Bristow Parent shall retain sufficient authorized, but unissued, New Stock and issue them directly to Holders of Claims following the resolution of Disputed Claims.

D. Delivery of Distributions

1. Record Date for Distributions

Except as provided herein, on the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other party responsible for making distributions under the Plan shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims Register or any other transfer register for each Class of Claims as maintained by the Debtors or their agents, each of which shall be deemed closed as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and there shall be no further changes in the record Holders of the applicable Claims. In addition, with respect to payment of any Cure Costs or disputes over any Cure Costs, neither the Debtors nor the Distribution Agent shall have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease as of the Effective Date, even if such non-Debtor party has thereafter sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred its Claim for Cure Costs. The Distribution Record Date shall not apply to Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes deposited with DTC, the Holders of which shall receive distributions in accordance with the customary procedures of DTC.

2. Distribution Process

The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required under the Plan, except that with respect to distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims governed by a separate agreement, shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to implement appropriate mechanics governing such distributions in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the relevant governing agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, and notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests, including Claims and Interests that become Allowed after the Effective Date, shall be made to Holders of record or their respective designees as of the Distribution Record Date: (a) to the address of such Holder or designee as set forth in the applicable register (or if the appropriate notice has been provided pursuant to the governing agreement in writing, on or before the date that is 10 calendar days before the Effective Date, of a change of address or an identification of designee, to the changed address or to such designee, as applicable); or (b) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004, if no address exists in the applicable register, no Proof of Claim has been Filed, and the Distribution Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address on or before the date that is 10 calendar days before the Effective Date. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Claims and Holders of 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.

3. Delivery of Distributions to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or reasonably requested by the applicable Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, all distributions to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims shall be made to and deemed completed when received by the applicable Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that at such Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee’s written election, the applicable distributions shall not be distributed to Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims in the name of the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee. Upon such written election, the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall hold or direct such distributions for the benefit of Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, and the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustees shall arrange to deliver such distributions to or on behalf of such Holders, subject to the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee’s charging liens. The payment of the applicable Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee as set forth in the applicable indenture or bond agreement shall be considered a distribution on account of Unsecured Notes Claims. If an Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee is unable to make such distributions or consents to the Distribution Agent making such distributions in writing, the Distribution Agent, with the cooperation of such Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, shall make such distributions to the extent practicable to do so (provided that until such distributions are made, the applicable charging liens shall attach to the property to be distributed in the same manner as if such distributions were made through the applicable Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee).

4. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate

Except as otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.

5. Fractional, Undeliverable, and Unclaimed Distributions

Fractional Distributions. Whenever any distribution of fractional shares of New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock would otherwise be required pursuant to the Plan, the actual distribution shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest interest or share or dollar, as applicable, with half interests of shares, or any amount equal to $0.50, or less being rounded down. The total number of authorized shares of New Stock to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

Undeliverable Distributions. If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to the Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such Holder’s then-current address or other necessary information for delivery, at which time all currently due missed distributions shall be made to such Holder on the next Distribution Date. Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, or such distribution reverts to the Reorganized Debtors or is canceled pursuant to Article VI.D.5.c of the Plan, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind.

Reversion. Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution for a period of 6 months after distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution shall revest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is comprised of New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock, each shall be transferred to the Backstop Commitment Parties on a Pro Rata basis. Upon such revesting, the Claim of the Holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be canceled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.

6. Minimum; De Minimis Distributions

No Cash payment of less than $50 shall be made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of such Allowed Claim.

7. Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities

On the Effective Date, each Holder of a Certificate shall be deemed to have surrendered such Certificate to the Distribution Agent or a Servicer (to the extent the relevant Claim is governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer). Such Certificate shall be canceled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancelation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this Article VI.D.6 shall not apply to any Claims and Interests that are Reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

E. Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocations

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Distribution Agent shall request distributees to provide appropriate documentation that may be required for an exemption from withholding or reporting, and shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements unless an exception applies. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Distribution Agent shall take all actions 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 withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions. The Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent reserves the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances. All Persons holding Claims shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any Governmental Unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution.

F. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

1. Claims Paid by Third Parties

Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within 14 calendar days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the Reorganized Debtors to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in the Holder owing the Reorganized Debtors annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the 14-day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.

2. Claims Payable by Insurance Carriers

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

without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that the Debtors shall provide 21 calendar days’ notice to the Holder of such Claim prior to any disallowance of such Claim during which period the Holder may object to such disallowance, and if the parties cannot reach an agreed resolution, the matter shall be decided by the Bankruptcy Court.

3. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Article VIII of the Plan), nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a release, settlement, satisfaction, compromise, or waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any other Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers, under any policies of insurance or applicable indemnity, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

G. Setoffs

Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, each Reorganized Debtor, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the Holder of a Claim, may (but shall not be required to) set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtor of any such claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor may possess against such Holder. In no event shall any Holder of Claims be entitled to set off any such Claim against any claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor (as applicable), unless such Holder has Filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

H. Indefeasible Distributions

Any and all distributions made under the Plan shall be indefeasible and not subject to clawback.

I. Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest

Distributions in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Allowed Claims, to any portion of such Claims for accrued but unpaid interest.

ARTICLE VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS

A. Allowance of Claims

After the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the applicable Debtor had with respect to any Claim immediately before the Effective Date. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases before the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code, or the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final Order, including the Confirmation Order (when it becomes a Final Order), in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim.

B. Claims Administration Responsibilities

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and notwithstanding any requirements that may be imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole authority to: (1) File and prosecute objections to Claims; (2) settle, compromise, withdraw, litigate to judgment, or otherwise resolve objections to any and all Claims (with the reasonable consent of the Required RSA Parties), regardless of whether such Claims are in a Class or otherwise; (3) settle, compromise, or resolve any Disputed Claim (with the reasonable consent of the Required RSA Parties) without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (4) 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. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors will use commercially reasonable efforts to advance the claims resolution process through estimation or otherwise, subject to the provisions of Article VII.K of the Plan. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall resolve Disputed Claims in accordance with the Debtors’ fiduciary duties and pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

C. Estimation of Claims

Before, on, or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Claim pursuant to applicable law, including pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or Bankruptcy Rule 3012 for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the pendency of any appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Claim and does not provide otherwise, such estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions and discharge) and may be used as evidence in any supplemental proceedings, and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim. Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before seven (7) days after the date on which such Claim is estimated. Each of the foregoing Claims and objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

D. Disputed Claims Reserve

On or before the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish one or more reserves of Cash and/or New Common Stock for those General Unsecured Claims that are Disputed Claims as of the Distribution Record Date (for the avoidance of doubt, deducting such amounts from the Unsecured Equity Pool, GUC Distribution Cash Amount, and Unsecured 4(a)(2) Distribution Cash Amount), which reserves shall be administered by the Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent, as applicable. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent shall hold such Cash and/or New Common Stock in such reserve(s) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of General Unsecured Claims that are Disputed Claims as of the Distribution Record Date, that are ultimately determined to be Allowed after the Distribution Record Date. The Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent shall distribute such amounts (net of any expenses, including any taxes relating thereto), as provided herein, as such Claims are resolved by a Final Order or agreed to by settlement, and such amounts will be distributable on account of such Claims as such amounts would have been distributable had such Claims been Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date under Article III of the Plan solely to the extent of the amounts available in the applicable reserve(s); provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, and as set forth in the Rights Offering Procedures, there shall not be any reserve of any Unsecured 4(a)(2) Subscription Rights or Unsecured 1145 Subscription Rights, and any Holder of a General Unsecured Claim that is a Disputed Claim as of the Distribution Record Date shall not be entitled to receive or exercise any Unsecured 4(a)(2) Subscription Rights or Unsecured 1145 Subscription Rights.

Upon a Disputed Claim becoming disallowed by a Final Order, (a) the applicable amount of Cash that was in the disputed claims reserve on account of such Disputed Claim shall be distributed by the Reorganized Debtors to the applicable Holders of Claims that would have received such Cash pursuant to the Plan if such Disputed Claim did not exist as of the Distribution Record Date, with the Reorganized Debtors making such distributions of any such released Cash no less frequently than every three months following the Effective Date and (b) the applicable amount of New Common Stock that was in the disputed claims reserve on account of such Disputed Claim shall be cancelled by the Reorganized Debtors.

Any assets held in a disputed claims reserve shall be subject to the tax rules that apply to “disputed ownership funds” under 26 C.F.R. 1.468B–9. As such, such assets will be subject to entity-level taxation, and the Reorganized Debtors shall be required to comply with the relevant rules.

E. Adjustment to Claims Without Objection

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

F. Time to File Objections to Claims

Any objections to Claims shall be Filed on or before the later of (1) 180 days after the Effective Date and (2) such other period of limitation as may be specifically fixed by the Bankruptcy Court upon a motion by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

G. Disallowance of Claims

Any Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable under sections 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall not be Allowed or deemed Allowed, 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 Bankruptcy Court order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. All Proofs of Claim Filed on account of an Indemnification Obligation shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date to the extent such Indemnification Obligation is assumed (or honored or reaffirmed, as the case may be) pursuant to the Plan, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, any Holder of an Allowed Claim under section 502(h) of the Bankruptcy Code arising from an Avoidance Action shall, in lieu of any distribution to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, solely receive Cash from the proceeds of such Avoidance Action in an amount reasonably equivalent to the percentage recovery received by Holders of General Unsecured Claims based on the enterprise value of the Debtors for purposes of Confirmation; provided that the Reorganized Debtors may elect in their sole discretion (and without any further approval from the Court) to instead have such amount of Cash set off against the recovery from the applicable Avoidance Action.

Except as otherwise provided herein or as agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, any and all Proofs of Claim Filed after the Claims Bar Date shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless such late Proof of Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

H. Amendments to Claims

On or after the Effective Date, a Claim may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Reorganized Debtors, and any such new or amended Claim Filed shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court to the maximum extent provided by applicable law.

I. No Distributions Pending Allowance

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

J. Distributions After Allowance

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtors shall provide to the Holder of such Claim the distribution to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, less any previous distribution (if any) that was made on account of the undisputed portion of such Claim, without any interest, dividends, or accruals to be paid on account of such Claim unless required under applicable bankruptcy law or as otherwise provided herein.

K. Single Satisfaction of Claims

Holders of Allowed Claims may assert such Claims against the Debtors obligated with respect to such Claims, and such Claims shall be entitled to share in the recovery provided for the applicable Class of Claims against the Debtors based upon the full Allowed amount of such Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the aggregate value of all property received or retained under the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim exceed 100 percent of the underlying Allowed Claim (including applicable interest, if any such interest is Allowed).

L. Claims Consultation Rights

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall consult with the Creditors’ Committee with regard to the allowance of any claims participating in the GUC Distribution Cash Amount prior to the Effective Date.

ARTICLE VIII.

DISCHARGE, RELEASE, INJUNCTION AND RELATED PROVISIONS

A. Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests

Pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of the Effective Date, of Claims (including any Intercompany Claims resolved or compromised after the Effective Date by the Reorganized Debtors), Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against, and Interests in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or Interests relate to services performed by employees of the Debtors before the Effective Date and that arise from a termination of employment, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in

sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (1) a Proof of Claim based upon such debt or right is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (2) a Claim or Interest based upon such debt, right, or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the Holder of such a Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan. Any default or “event of default” by the Debtors or Affiliates with respect to any Claim or Interest that existed immediately before or on account of the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured (and no longer continuing) as of the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring.

B. Releases by the Debtors

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or for obligations or distributions issued or required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold Claims or Interests that have been released pursuant to the Plan, discharged pursuant to the Plan, or are subject to exculpation pursuant to the Plan, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Released Parties or the Exculpated Parties: (i) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (ii) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (iii) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or the estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (iv) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests unless such Entity has timely asserted such setoff right in a document Filed with the Bankruptcy Court explicitly preserving such setoff, and notwithstanding an indication of a claim or interest or otherwise that such Entity asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to applicable law or otherwise; and (v) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests released or settled pursuant to the Plan.

F. Protection Against Discriminatory Treatment

In accordance with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code, and consistent with Article VI of the United States Constitution, no Governmental Unit shall discriminate against any Reorganized Debtor, or any Entity with which a Reorganized Debtor has been or is associated, solely because such Reorganized Debtor was a Debtor under chapter 11, may have been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before such Debtor was granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

G. Release of Liens

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan,, the Milestone Settlement, the Exit Facility Credit Agreement or the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement, as applicable, the Amended PK Air Credit Facility Agreement or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan and, in the case of a Secured Claim, satisfaction in full of the portion of the Secured Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors and their successors and assigns, in each case, without any further approval or order of the Bankruptcy Court and without any action or Filing being required to be made by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or any other Holder of a Secured Claim. In addition, at the sole expense of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the Holders of Secured Claims shall execute and deliver all documents reasonably requested by the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors or administrative agent for the Exit Facility to evidence the release of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, and other security interests and shall authorize the Reorganized Debtors and their designees to file UCC-3 termination statements and other release documentation (to the extent applicable) with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this Article VIII.G shall not apply to any Secured Claims that are Reinstated pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

H. Reimbursement or Contribution

If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the Effective Date, such Claim shall be forever disallowed notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Effective Date (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent, or (2) the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

I. Recoupment

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

J. Subordination Rights

Any distributions under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be received and retained free from any obligations to hold or transfer the same to any other Holder and shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or other legal process by any Holder by reason of claimed contractual subordination rights. On the Effective Date, any such subordination rights shall be deemed waived, and the Confirmation Order shall constitute an injunction enjoining any Entity from enforcing or attempting to enforce any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination rights to property distributed under the Plan, in each case other than as provided in the Plan; provided, that any such subordination rights shall be preserved in the event the Confirmation Order is vacated, the Effective Date does not occur in accordance with the terms hereunder or the Plan is revoked or withdrawn.

K. Reservation of Rights of the United States

As to the United States of America, its agencies, departments, or agents (collectively, the “United States”), nothing in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order shall expand the scope of discharge, release, or injunction to which the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors are entitled under the Bankruptcy Code, if any. The discharge, release, and injunction provisions contained in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and the Confirmation Order are not intended and shall not be construed to bar the United States from, subsequent to the Confirmation Order, pursuing any actions, including but not limited to any police or regulatory action, against anyone.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement to the contrary, nothing in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall discharge, release, impair, or otherwise preclude: (a) any liability to the United States that is not a “claim” within the meaning of section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) any valid right of setoff or recoupment of the United States against any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors; or (c) the exercise of the United States’ police and regulatory powers against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any non-Debtor. Nor shall anything in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or the Plan Supplement: (a) enjoin or otherwise bar the United States and/or any Governmental Unit from asserting or enforcing, outside the Bankruptcy Court, any liability described in this paragraph, (b) divest any court, commission, or tribunal of jurisdiction from resolving any matters relating to the liabilities and/or claims set forth in this paragraph, or (c) confer in the Bankruptcy Court jurisdiction over any matter as to which it would not have jurisdiction under the Bankruptcy Code.

Moreover, nothing in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or the Plan Supplement shall release or exculpate any non-Debtor, including any Released Parties and/or Exculpated Parties, from any liability to the United States, including but not limited to any liabilities arising under the Internal Revenue Code, the environmental laws, or the criminal laws against the Released Parties and/or Exculpated Parties, nor shall anything in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or the Plan Supplement enjoin the United States from bringing any claim, suit, action, or other proceeding against the Released Parties and/or Exculpated Parties for any liability whatsoever; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall affect in any way any release by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Estates, any person exercising the rights of the Estates, or any successor to the Estates of the Released Parties provided for in Article VIII.B of the Plan.

Nothing contained in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to determine the tax liability of any person or entity, including but not limited to the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, nor shall the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order be deemed to have determined the federal tax treatment of any item, distribution, or entity, including the federal tax consequences of the Plan, nor shall anything in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order be deemed to have conferred jurisdiction upon the Bankruptcy Court to make determinations as to federal tax liability and federal tax treatment except as provided under 11 U.S.C. § 505.

ARTICLE IX.

EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court shall be deemed to have made and issued on the Confirmation Date, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, made applicable to this proceeding pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9014, the following findings of fact and conclusions of law as though made after due deliberation and upon the record at the Confirmation Hearing. Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, any and all findings of fact in the Plan shall constitute findings of fact even if they are stated as conclusions of law, and any and all conclusions of law in the Plan shall constitute conclusions of law even if they are stated as findings of fact.

A. Jurisdiction and Venue

On the Petition Date, the Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases by filing voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors were and are qualified to be debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code. Venue in the Southern District of Texas was proper as of the Petition Date and continues to be proper. Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). The Bankruptcy Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334 and the Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed.

B. Order Approving the Disclosure Statement

On August 26, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Conditional Disclosure Statement Order, which, among other things, (a) conditionally approved the Disclosure Statement as containing adequate information within the meaning of section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3017 and (b) conditionally approved certain procedures and documents for soliciting and tabulating votes with respect to the Plan.

C. Voting Report

Prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Solicitation Agent filed the Voting Report. All procedures used to distribute solicitation materials to the applicable Holders of Claims and Interests and to tabulate the ballots were fair and conducted in accordance with the Conditional Disclosure Statement Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations. Pursuant to sections 1124 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, at least one Impaired Class entitled to vote on the Plan has voted to accept the Plan.

D. Judicial Notice

The Bankruptcy Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and/or its duly appointed agent, including all pleadings and other documents Filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, or adduced at the hearings held before the Bankruptcy Court during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases (including the Confirmation Hearing). Resolutions of any objections to Confirmation explained on the record at the Confirmation Hearing are hereby incorporated by reference. All entries on the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases shall constitute the record before the Bankruptcy Court for purposes of the Confirmation Hearing.

E. Transmittal and Mailing of Materials; Notice

Due, adequate, and sufficient notice of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Confirmation Hearing, and the release and exculpation provisions set forth in Article VIII of the Plan, along with all deadlines for voting on or objecting to the Plan, has been given to (1) all known Holders of Claims and Interests, (2) parties that requested notice in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 2002, (3) all parties to Unexpired Leases and Executory Contracts, and (4) all taxing authorities listed on the Schedules or in the Claims Register, in compliance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002(b), 3017, 3019, and 3020(b), the Conditional Disclosure Statement Order, and such transmittal and service were appropriate, adequate, and sufficient. Adequate and sufficient notice of the Confirmation Hearing and other dates, deadlines, and hearings described in the Conditional Disclosure Statement Order was given in compliance with the Bankruptcy Rules and such order, and no other or further notice is or shall be required.

F. Solicitation

Votes for acceptance and rejection of the Plan were solicited in good faith and complied with sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018, and 3019, the Conditional Disclosure Statement Order, all other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations. The Debtors and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, representatives, attorneys, and advisors, as applicable, have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Conditional Disclosure Statement Order and are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the exculpation provisions set forth in Article VIII of the Plan. The Debtors and the Released Parties solicited acceptance of the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and they participated in good faith, and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of New Stock and any debt securities that were offered or sold under the Plan and, pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and no Released Party is or shall be liable on account of such solicitation for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing solicitation of acceptance of a chapter 11 plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of such debt securities.

G. Burden of Proof

The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have satisfied their burden of proving the elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard. The Debtors have satisfied the elements of section 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by clear and convincing evidence.

H. Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a) Compliance

The Plan is dated and identifies the proponents thereof, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).

I. Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code

The plan complies with all requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code as follows:

1. Section 1129(a)(1)–Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code

The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1121, 1122, 1123, and 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

a. Standing

Each of the Debtors has standing to file a plan and the Debtors, therefore, have satisfied section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code.

b. Proper Classification

Pursuant to sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan designates Classes of Claims and Interests, other than Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, DIP Facility Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which are not required to be classified. As required by section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class of Claims and Interests contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within that Class.

c. Specification of Unimpaired Classes

Pursuant to section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan specifies all Classes of Claims and Interests that are not Impaired.

d. Specification of Treatment of Impaired Classes

Pursuant to section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan specifies the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests that are Impaired.

e. No Discrimination

Pursuant to section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan provides the same treatment for each Claim or Interest within a particular Class, as the case may be, unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Interest has agreed to less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim or Interest, as applicable.

f. Plan Implementation

Pursuant to section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan provides adequate and proper means for the Plan’s implementation. Immediately upon the Effective Date, sufficient Cash and other consideration provided under the Plan will be available to make all payments required to be made on the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Moreover, Article IV and various other provisions of the Plan specifically provide adequate means for the Plan’s implementation.

g. Voting Power of Equity Securities; Selection of Officer, Director, or Trustee under the Plan

The New Organizational Documents comply with sections 1123(a)(6) and 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

h. Impairment/Unimpairment of Classes of Claims and Equity Interests

Pursuant to section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) Class 1 (Other Secured Claims), Class 2 (Other Priority Claims), Class 5 (Lombard (BULL) Term Loan Claims), Class 7 (Macquarie Term Loan Credit Facility Claims), Class 9 (Lombard (BALL) Term Loan Guarantee Claims and UK ABL Credit Facility), Class 10 (MCA and Other Customer Guarantee Claims) and Class 11 (Trade Claims) are Unimpaired under the Plan, (ii) Class 3 (2019 Term Loan Facility Claims), Class 4 (Secured Notes Claims), Class 6 (PK Air Credit Facility Claims and MAG Lease Obligation Claims), Class 8 (Unsecured Notes Claims), Class 12 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 15 (Existing Interests), and Class 16 (Section 510(b) Claims) are Impaired under the Plan, and (iii) Class 13 (Intercompany Claims) and Class 14 (Intercompany Interests) are either Unimpaired or Impaired under the Plan at the election of the Required RSA Parties.

i. Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

In accordance with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to Article V of the Plan, on the Effective Date, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is listed on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, if any. The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates. The Debtors’ assumption and assignment of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases listed on the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to Article V of the Plan governing assumption and rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases satisfies the requirements of section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and, accordingly, the requirements of section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining whether to reject, assume, or assume and assign each of their Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases under the terms of the Plan. Each pre- or post-Confirmation rejection, assumption, or assumption and assignment of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to Article V of the Plan will be legal, valid and binding upon the applicable Debtor and all other parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, as applicable, all to the same extent as if such rejection, assumption, or assumption and assignment had been effectuated pursuant to an appropriate order of the Court entered before the Confirmation Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be rejected, assumed, or assumed and assigned is deemed to be an executory contract or an unexpired lease, as applicable.

j. Settlement of Claims and Causes of Action

All of the settlements and compromises pursuant to and in connection with the Plan or incorporated by reference into the Plan comply with the requirements of section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, any and all compromise and settlement provisions of the Plan constitute good-faith compromises, are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and all Holders of Claims and Interests, and are fair, equitable, and reasonable.

Specifically, the settlements and compromises pursuant to and in connection with the Plan are substantively fair based on the following factors: (a) the balance between the litigation’s possibility of success and the settlement’s future benefits; (b) the likelihood of complex and protracted litigation and risk and difficulty of collecting on the judgment; (c) the proportion of creditors and parties in interest that support the settlement; (d) the competency of counsel reviewing the settlement; the nature and breadth of releases to be obtained by officers and directors; and (e) the extent to which the settlement is the product of arm’s-length bargaining.

k. Cure of Defaults

Article V of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of default claims associated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Cure Costs identified in the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and any amendments thereto, as applicable, represent the amount, if any, that the Debtors propose to pay in full and complete satisfaction of such default claims. Any disputed cure amounts will be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article V of the Plan, and applicable bankruptcy and nonbankruptcy law. As such, the Plan provides that the Debtors will cure, or provide adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly cure, defaults with Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in compliance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

l. Other Appropriate Provisions

The Plan’s other provisions are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including provisions for (i) distributions to holders of Claims and Interests, (ii) objections to Claims, (iii) procedures for resolving disputed, contingent, and unliquidated claims, (iv) cure amounts, procedures governing cure disputes, and (v) indemnification obligations.

2. Section 1129(a)(2)–Compliance of Plan Proponents with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code

The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018, and 3019. In particular, the Debtors are proper debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code and proper proponents of the Plan under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Furthermore, the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan was (i) pursuant to the Conditional Disclosure Statement Order; (ii) in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation; and (iii) solicited after disclosure to Holders of Claims or Interests of adequate information as defined in section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Debtors and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and Professionals have acted in “good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

3. Section 1129(a)(3)–Proposal of Plan in Good Faith

The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law based on the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation. The Chapter 11 Cases were filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the legitimate purpose of allowing the Debtors to reorganize.

4. Section 1129(a)(4)–Bankruptcy Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable

Pursuant to section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the payments to be made for services or for costs in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or the Plan are approved. The fees and expenses incurred by Professionals retained by the Debtors or the Creditors’ Committee shall be payable according to the orders approving such Professionals’ retentions, the Interim Compensation Order, other applicable Bankruptcy Court orders, or as otherwise provided in the Plan.

5. Section 1129(a)(5)–Disclosure of Identity of Proposed Management, Compensation of Insiders, and Consistency of Management Proposals with the Interests of Creditors and Public Policy

Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, information concerning the individuals proposed to serve on the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board and each such individual’s compensation upon Consummation of the Plan has been fully disclosed (in the Plan Supplement) to the extent available, and the appointment to, or continuance in, such office of such person is consistent with the interests of Holders of Claims and Interests and with public policy.

6. Section 1129(a)(6)–Approval of Rate Changes

Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable because the Plan does not provide for rate changes by any of the Debtors.

7. Section 1129(a)(7)–Best Interests of Creditors and Interest Holders

The liquidation analysis included in the Disclosure Statement, and the other evidence related thereto that was proffered or adduced at or prior to, or in affidavits in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, is reasonable. The methodology used and assumptions made in such liquidation analysis, as supplemented by the evidence proffered or adduced at or prior to, or in affidavits filed in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, are reasonable. With respect to each Impaired Class, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest in such Class has accepted the Plan or will receive under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount such Holder would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

8. Section 1129(a)(8)–Conclusive Presumption of Acceptance by Unimpaired Classes; Acceptance of the Plan by Each Impaired Class

Certain Classes of Claims and Interests are Unimpaired and are deemed conclusively to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, at least one Impaired Class that was entitled to vote has voted to accept the Plan. Because the Plan provides that the certain Classes of Claims and Interests will be Impaired and because no distributions shall be made to Holders in such Classes, such Holders are deemed conclusively to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

9. Section 1129(a)(9)–Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Pursuant to Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code

The treatment of Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, DIP Facility Claims, Other Priority Claims, and Priority Tax Claims under Article II of the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

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

At least one Impaired Class has voted to accept the Plan. Accordingly, section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied.

11. Section 1129(a)(11)–Feasibility of the Plan

The Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. Based upon the evidence proffered or adduced at, or prior to, or in affidavits filed in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, the Plan is feasible and Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the Debtors or any successor to the Debtors under the Plan, except as such liquidation is proposed in the Plan. Furthermore, the Debtors will have adequate assets to satisfy their respective obligations under the Plan.

12. Section 1129(a)(12)–Payment of Bankruptcy Fees

Article II.E of the Plan provides for the payment of all fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a) in accordance with section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

13. Section 1129(a)(13)–Retiree Benefits

The Plan provides for the treatment of all retiree benefits in accordance with section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.

14. Section 1129(a)(14)–Domestic Support Obligations

The Debtors are not required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay any domestic support obligations, and therefore, section 1129(a)(14) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

15. Section 1129(a)(15)–The Debtors Are Not Individuals

The Debtors are not individuals, and therefore, section 1129(a)(15) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

16. Section 1129(a)(16)–No Applicable Nonbankruptcy Law Regarding Transfers

Each of the Debtors that is a corporation is a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation or trust, and therefore, section 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

17. Section 1129(b)–Confirmation of Plan Over Rejection of Impaired Classes

The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Classes presumed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code or that have actually rejected the Plan (if any). To determine whether a plan is “fair and equitable” with respect to a class of claims, section 1129(b)(2)(B)(ii) of the Bankruptcy Code provides in pertinent part that “the holder of any claim or interest that is junior to the claims of such class will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior claim or interest any property.” To determine whether a plan is “fair and equitable” with respect to a class of interests, section 1129(b)(2)(C)(ii) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that “the holder of any interest that is junior to the interests of such class will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior interest any property.” There are no classes junior to the deemed (or actual) rejecting classes of claims or interests that will receive any distribution under the Plan. The Plan, therefore, satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

18. Section 1129(c)–Confirmation of Only One Plan With Respect to the Debtors

The Plan is the only plan that has been filed in these Chapter 11 Cases with respect to the Debtors. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

19. Section 1129(d)–Principal Purpose Not Avoidance of Taxes

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. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

20. Section 1129(e)–Small Business Case

Section 1129(e) is inapplicable because these Chapter 11 Cases do not qualify as small business cases thereunder.

J. Securities Under the Plan

Pursuant to the Plan, and without further corporate or other action, the New Stock and any debt issued or assumed by the Reorganized Debtors will be issued or entered into, as applicable, on the Effective Date subject to the terms of the Plan.

K. Releases and Discharges

The releases and discharges of Claims and Causes of Action described in the Plan, including releases by the Debtors and by Holders of Claims and Interests, constitute good faith compromises and settlements of the matters covered thereby. Such compromises and settlements are made in exchange for consideration and are in the best interest of Holders of Claims and Interests, are fair, equitable, reasonable, and are integral elements of the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Plan. Each of the discharge, release, indemnification, and exculpation provisions set forth in the Plan: (a) is within the jurisdiction of the Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a), 1334(b), and 1334(d); (b) is an essential means of implementing the Plan pursuant to section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code; (c) is an integral element of the transactions incorporated into the Plan; (d) confers material benefit on, and is in the best interests of, the Debtors, their estates, and their creditors; (e) is important to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve all Claims and Interests among or against the parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases with respect to the Debtors; (f) is consistent with sections 105, 1123, 1129, and all other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code; (g) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (h), without limiting the foregoing, with respect to the releases and injunctions in Article VIII of the Plan, are (i) essential elements of the Restructuring Transactions and Plan, terms and conditions without which the Supporting Noteholders would not have entered into the Restructuring Support Agreement, (ii) narrowly tailored, and (iii) in consideration of the substantial financial contribution of the Supporting Noteholders, the Backstop Commitment Parties, and the other Rights Offering Participants under the Plan. Furthermore, the injunction set forth in Article VIII is an essential component of the Plan, the fruit of long-term negotiations and achieved by the exchange of good and valuable consideration that will enable unsecured creditors to realize distributions in the Chapter 11 Cases.

L. Release and Retention of Causes of Action

It is in the best interests of Holders of Claims and Interests that the provisions in Article VIII of the Plan be approved.

M. Approval of Restructuring Support Agreement, Backstop Commitment Agreement and Other Restructuring Documents and Agreements

All documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan, including the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the other Restructuring Documents are essential elements of the Plan, are necessary to consummate the Plan and the Restructuring Transaction, and entry into and consummation of the transactions contemplated by each such document and agreement is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining which agreements to enter into and have provided sufficient and adequate notice of such documents and agreements. The terms and conditions of such documents and agreements have been negotiated in good faith, at arm’s-length, are fair and reasonable, and are hereby reaffirmed and approved, and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and execution and delivery in accordance with their respective terms, shall be in full force and effect and valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, or other action under applicable law, regulation, or rule.

N. Confirmation Hearing Exhibits

All of the exhibits presented at the Confirmation Hearing have been properly received into evidence and are a part of the record before the Bankruptcy Court.

O. Objections to Confirmation of the Plan

Any and all objections to Confirmation have been withdrawn, settled, overruled, or otherwise resolved.

P. Retention of Jurisdiction

The Bankruptcy Court may properly retain jurisdiction over the matters set forth in Article XII of the Plan and section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Q. Plan Supplement

The Debtors filed the Plan Supplement, which includes the following documents: (a) the material New Organizational Documents; (b) the Exit Facility Term Sheet, if applicable; (c) the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement and material related documents, if applicable, and the identity of the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent; (d) the schedule of Retained Causes of Action; (e) a disclosure of the members of the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board and their compensation; (f) the Schedule of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (g) the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (h) the Restructuring Transactions Exhibit, if needed; (i) a description of the material terms of the Management Incentive Plan; (j) the New Shareholders’ Agreement; (k) the Schedule of Other Customer Contracts; (l) the New Preferred Stock Agreement; (m) the New Common Stock Agreement; (n) the terms of the Amended PK Air Credit Facility Agreement (to the extent not set forth in the motion seeking approval of the Milestone Settlement); and (o) to the extent necessary in order to ensure compliance with 49 U.S.C. § 40102(a)(15)(C), the New Warrant Agreement. All such documents comply with the terms of the Plan, and the filing and notice of such documents was adequate, proper and in accordance with the Conditional Disclosure Statement Order, the Bankruptcy Code, and the Bankruptcy Rules.

ARTICLE XIII.

All Claims and debts shall be as fixed, adjusted, or compromised, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan regardless of whether any Holder of a Claim or debt has voted on the Plan.

C. Additional Documents

On or before the Effective Date, and subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Debtors may File with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all Holders of Claims receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.

D. Dissolution of the Statutory Committees

On the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Committee and any other statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall dissolve automatically and the members thereof shall be released and discharged from all rights, duties, responsibilities, and liabilities arising from, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and under the Bankruptcy Code, except for the purposes of (a) prosecuting requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the Effective Date by the Creditors’ Committee and its Professionals, (b) participating in any adversary proceeding commenced on or before the Effective Date in which the Creditors’ Committee (or any member thereof in its capacity as such) is named, and (c) participating in any appeals of the Confirmation Order.

F. Payment of Transaction Expenses

G. Reservation of Rights

The Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court shall enter the Confirmation Order. None of the Filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any Debtor with respect to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan Supplement shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.

J. Term of Injunctions or Stays

Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases (pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court) and existing on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

K. Entire Agreement

Except as otherwise indicated, the Plan supersedes all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into the Plan.

L. Plan Supplement

All exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated into and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. After any of such documents included in the Plan Supplement are Filed, copies of such documents shall be made available upon written request to the Debtors’ counsel at the address above or by downloading such exhibits and documents from the Solicitation Agent’s website at https://cases.primeclerk.com/Bristow or the Bankruptcy Court’s website at https://www.pacer.gov/.

M. Non-Severability

If, prior to Confirmation, the Bankruptcy Court holds any term or provision of the Plan to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan 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 shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the consent of the Debtors, the Required RSA Parties, and without satisfying the Committee Consent Right; and (3) non-severable and mutually dependent.

N. Votes Solicited in Good Faith

Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors will be deemed to have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, and pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors and each of the Supporting Noteholders and each of their respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, members, principals, equity holders (regardless of whether such interests are held directly or indirectly), officers, directors, managers, employees, advisors, and attorneys will be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code in the offer, issuance, sale, and purchase of Securities offered and sold under the Plan, and, therefore, neither any of such parties or individuals or the Reorganized Debtors will have any liability for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of votes on the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of the Securities offered and sold under the Plan.

O. Waiver or Estoppel

Each Holder of a Claim or an Interest shall be deemed to have waived any right to assert any argument, including the right to argue that its Claim or Interest should be Allowed in a certain amount, in a certain priority, Secured or not subordinated by virtue of an agreement made with the Debtors or their counsel, or any other Entity, if such agreement was not disclosed in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Restructuring Support Agreement, or papers Filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, after due deliberation thereon and good cause appearing therefor, the Court hereby makes and issues the following findings of fact, and conclusions of law:

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

IT IS DETERMINED, FOUND, ADJUDGED, DECREED AND ORDERED THAT:

A. Findings of Fact. The findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth herein, in the Plan, including specifically in Article IX of the Plan, in the Stipulated Facts and in the record of the Combined Hearing constitute the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law under Rule 52 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as made applicable herein by Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 9014. To the extent any of the following conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, or vice versa, they are adopted as such.

B. Jurisdiction, Venue, and Core Proceeding. The Court has jurisdiction over these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to section 1334 of title 28 of the United States Code. 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. Venue is proper in this district pursuant to sections 1408 and 1409 of title 28 of the United States Code. Approval of the Disclosure Statement and Confirmation of the Plan are core proceedings within the meaning of section 157(b)(2) of title 28 of the United States Code.

C. Disclosure Statement. The Disclosure Statement contains (a) sufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all applicable nonbankruptcy laws, rules, and regulations, including the Securities Act, (b) “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein and (c) specific descriptions of releases and injunctions related thereto in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c). The filing of the Disclosure Statement with the Clerk of the Court satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b).

D. Ballots. The Classes entitled to vote on the Plan (collectively, the “Voting Classes”) are set forth below:


Class		Designation
3		2019 Term Loan Facility Claims
4		Secured Notes Claims
6		PK Air Credit Facility Claims and MAG Lease Obligation Claims
7		Macquarie Term Loan Credit Facility Claims
8		Unsecured Notes Claims
12		General Unsecured Claims

As set forth and approved in the Solicitation Procedures Order, the ballots the Debtors used to solicit votes to accept or reject the Plan from holders in the Voting Classes adequately addressed the particular needs of these Chapter 11 Cases and were appropriate for holders in the Voting Classes to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

E. Notice. As evidenced by the Affidavits and the Voting Declaration, all parties required to be given notice of the Combined Hearing (including the deadline for filing and serving objections to approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan) have been given due, proper, adequate, timely, and sufficient notice of the Combined Hearing in accordance with the Solicitation Procedures Order and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules and all other applicable non-bankruptcy rules, laws, and regulations and such parties have had an opportunity to appear and be heard with respect thereto.

F. Solicitation. As described in and evidenced by the Affidavits and the Voting Declaration, transmittal and service of the Solicitation Materials (collectively, the “Solicitation”) were timely, adequate, appropriate, and sufficient under the circumstances. The Solicitation (i) was conducted in good faith and (ii) complied with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Solicitation and Scheduling Order, and all other applicable non-bankruptcy rules, laws, and regulations applicable to the Solicitation.

G. Vote Tabulation. As described in the Voting Declaration, the holders of Claims in the Class 3 (2019 Term Loan Facility Claims), Class 4 (Secured Notes Claims), Class 6 (PK Air Credit Facility Claims and MAG Lease Obligations Claims), Class 8 (Unsecured Notes Claims) and Class 12 (General Unsecured Claims) are Impaired under the Plan and have voted to accept the Plan in the numbers and amounts required by section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. All procedures used to tabulate the Ballots were fair, reasonable, and conducted in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Solicitation Procedures Order, and all other applicable non-bankruptcy rules, laws, and regulations. Additionally, Class 7 (Macquarie Term Loan Credit Facility Claims) is Impaired under the Plan and the Macquarie Parties, through the Macquarie Settlement, have voted to accept the Plan.

H. Service of Opt Out Form. The process described in the Voting Declaration and the Solicitation Affidavit that the Debtors and Prime Clerk followed to identify the relevant parties on which to serve the Opt Out Form and to distribute the Opt Out Form (i) is consistent with the industry standard for the identification and dissemination of such materials on holders of public securities, and (ii) was reasonably calculated to ensure that each of Holders of Interests in Class 15 and Claims in Class 16 was informed of its ability to opt out of the Third Party Releases and the consequences for failing to timely do so.

I. Modifications to Plan. Pursuant to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the modifications to the Plan set forth in the Modified Plan or in this Confirmation Order constitute technical or clarifying changes, changes with respect to particular Claims by agreement with holders of such Claims, or modifications that do not otherwise materially and adversely affect or change the treatment of any other Claim under the Plan. Notice of these modifications was

adequate and appropriate under the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, these modifications do not require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of votes under section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and they do not require that holders of Claims or Interests be afforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan is properly before this Court and all votes cast with respect to the Plan prior to such modification shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan.

J. Releases, Exculpation, Injunction, and Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action. Article VIII.B of the Plan describes certain releases granted by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the Estates (the “Debtor Releases”). Such releases are a necessary and integral element of the Plan, and are fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests. The Debtor Releases are: (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 Article VIII.B of the Plan; (c) given, and made, after due notice and opportunity for hearing; (d) appropriately tailored under the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases; and (e) a bar to any of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the Estates asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released by the Debtor Releases.

K. Article VIII.C of the Plan describes certain releases (the “Third-Party Releases”) granted by the Releasing Parties of the Released Parties which include: (a) the Debtors; (b) the Reorganized Debtors; (c) the DIP Facility Agent; (d) the DIP Facility Lenders; (e) the Backstop Commitment Parties; (f) the Holders of 2019 Term Loan Facility Claims; (g) the 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent; (h) the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Facility Lenders; (i) the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Facility Agent; (j) the Supporting Noteholders; (k) the Indenture Trustees; (l) the Exit Facility Lenders; (m) the Exit Facility Agent; (n) the Milestone Parties; (o) the Creditors’ Committee and each of its current and former members and the parties related to any of the foregoing as more fully set forth in Article I.A.175 of the Plan.

L. The Third-Party Releases are consensual with respect to the Releasing Parties and such parties were provided notice of the chapter 11 proceedings, the Plan, the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan, and received the Combined Hearing Notice and were properly informed that the Holders of Claims against or Interests in the Debtors that did not (a) check the “opt out” box on the applicable Ballot or opt out form attached to the Deemed to Reject Notice, returned in advance of the Voting Deadline, or (b) object to their inclusion as a Releasing Party on or before the Objection Deadline would be deemed to have consented to the release of all Claims and Causes of Action against the Debtors and the Released Parties as set forth in Article VIII.C. The Combined Hearing Notice was additionally published in The Wall Street Journal (National Edition) and the Houston Chronicle on August 29, 2019. The release provisions of the Plan were conspicuous, emphasized with boldface type in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Ballots, the Combined Hearing Notice, the Deemed to Accept Notice and the Deemed to Reject Notice. Importantly, the inclusion of the parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Milestone Parties in the Third-Party Releases was a material inducement for their participation, negotiation and ultimate resolution of Claims through the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Milestone Settlement and Plan, as applicable.

M. The Third Party Releases are: (a) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (b) a good-faith settlement and compromise of the Claims and Causes of Action released by the Third-Party Releases; (c) materially beneficial to, and in the best interests of, the Debtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and is important to

the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve certain Claims among or against certain parties in interest in these Chapter 11 Cases; (d) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (e) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; (f) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released by the Third Party Release against any of the Released Parties; and (g) consistent with sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129, and 1141 and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

N. The exculpation, described in Article VIII.D 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 good faith in these Chapter 11 Cases and is appropriately released and exculpated from any obligation, Cause of Action, or liability for any act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with, or arising from or relating in any way to, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, Filing, or termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement and related prepetition transactions (including the 2019 Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement), the Original RSA, the Original DIP Commitment Letter, the Initial Amended RSA, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Rights Offering, the Rights Offering Procedures, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the DIP Facility, the Exit Facility, the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Facility, any other Restructuring Documents, 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 Cases, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance of Securities pursuant to the Plan or the Rights Offering, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement with respect to the foregoing.

O. The injunction provisions set forth in Article VIII.E of the Plan are necessary to implement, preserve, and enforce the Debtors’ discharge, the Debtor Releases, the Third-Party Releases, and the Exculpation, and are narrowly tailored to achieve this purpose.

P. Article IV.T of the Plan provides that the Reorganized Debtors will retain, and may assert, all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action except for Causes of Action that have been expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated released, compromised or settled by the Plan, whether arising before or after the Petition Date in accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. The provisions regarding the preservation of Causes of Action in the Plan are appropriate, fair, equitable, and reasonable, and are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests.

Q. The release and discharge of all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates described in Article VIII.G of the Plan (the “Lien Release”), except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan and this Confirmation Order, is necessary to implement the Plan. The provisions of the Lien Release are appropriate, fair, equitable, and reasonable and are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests.

R. Management Incentive Plan. The Plan provides for the allocation of New Stock to the Management Incentive Plan. The Debtors disclosed the terms of the Management Incentive Plan in Exhibit I of the Plan Supplement. The Court finds that allocation of the New Stock to the Management Incentive Plan is fair and reasonable and is appropriate to align the incentives of participants with the goals of Reorganized Bristow Parent.

S. Rights Offering. The Debtors solicited subscriptions to the Rights Offering in good faith pursuant to the Rights Offering Procedures set forth in the Solicitation Procedures Order, applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules and any applicable non-bankruptcy laws, rules or regulations, and the Rights Offering Procedures are fair, equitable, and reasonable and provide for the Rights Offering to be conducted in a manner that is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates and holders of Claims and Interests.

T. Valuation. The evidence with respect to the valuation analysis of the Debtors introduced at the Combined Hearing and in the Declarations provides the basis for and supports the distributions and recoveries of Holders of Claims and Interests under the Plan, and is reasonable, persuasive and credible, and uses reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions. Based on all of the evidence presented by the Debtors and other parties both prior to and at the Combined Hearing, the enterprise value of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan does not exceed $1.25 billion. Given such enterprise value of the Debtors, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules, the Plan’s treatment of Existing Interests is appropriate and reasonable, and Holders of Existing Interests are not entitled to receive any distribution under the Plan.

U. Cram Down Requirements. Classes 1, 2, 5, 9, 10 and 11 constitute Unimpaired Classes, each of which is conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan in accordance with section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Voting Classes, Classes 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 12, has voted to accept the Plan. Holders of Existing Interests in Class 15 and Section 510(b) Claims in Class 16 were not solicited and are deemed to have rejected the Plan because the enterprise value of the Debtors is less than the aggregate amount of Claims against the Debtors. Additionally, Holders of Intercompany Claims in Class 13 and Intercompany Interests in Class 14 (together with

Class 13, Class 15 and Class 16, the “Deemed Rejecting Classes”) are conclusively presumed to accept or deemed to reject the Plan and, accordingly, were not solicited. Accordingly, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan is confirmable despite the failure to satisfy section 1129(a)(8) because, as set forth below, it satisfies sections 1129(a)(10) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

V. The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code. As evidenced by the Voting Declaration, each Voting Class voted to accept the Plan by more than 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), specified under the Bankruptcy Code.

W. The Plan also satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the fact that each Deemed Rejecting Class has been, or may be, deemed to reject the Plan, the Plan may be confirmed pursuant to section 1129(b)(l) 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 each Deemed Rejecting Class. 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 Deemed Rejecting 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 Class is receiving more than 100% of the amount of its Claim on account of such Claim. Accordingly, the Plan is fair and equitable towards all Holders of Claims and Interests in the Deemed Rejecting Classes. Third, the Plan does not discriminate unfairly because similarly situated creditors will receive substantially similar treatment on account of their Claims and Interests irrespective of Class. The Plan may therefore be confirmed despite the fact that not all Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan.

X. Good Faith. The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In so determining based on the evidence presented to this Court, including the Declarations, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and the other motions and pleadings filed and the testimony elicited at the Combined Hearing, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan itself, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the process leading to Confirmation, including the overwhelming support of holders of Claims in the Voting Classes for the Plan, and the transactions to be implemented pursuant thereto. These Chapter 11 Cases were filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the legitimate purpose of allowing the Debtors to reorganize and emerge from bankruptcy with a capital and organizational structure that will allow them to conduct their businesses and satisfy their obligations with sufficient liquidity and capital resources. The Plan is the product of good faith, arm’s length negotiations by and among the Debtors, the parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Creditors’ Committee, among others.

Y. Satisfaction of Confirmation. Based on the foregoing and the findings contained in Article IX of the Plan, the Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation, that the Plan satisfied all applicable elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code required for Confirmation.

21. Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the New Common Stock issued under the Plan as part of the Unsecured Common Equity Pool, or in connection with the 1145 Rights Offering, or the New Stock issued on account of the Backstop Commitment Fee, the Equitization Allocation New Common Stock, the Equitization Allocation New Preferred Stock, and the Equitization Consent Fee, may be sold without registration under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) 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 and compliance with any applicable state or foreign securities laws, if any, and the rules and regulations of the SEC, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments; (2) any other applicable regulatory approval; and (3) the transfer restrictions set forth in the New Shareholders’ Agreement and the New Organizational Documents, if any. All shares of New Common Stock and New Preferred Stock issued on account of (x) the Backstop Commitment Fee, (y) the Equitization Allocation New Common Stock and Equitization Allocation New Preferred Stock, and (z) the Equitization Consent Fee, will be issued without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local law in reliance on section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

22. Persons who purchase the New Common Stock or the New Preferred Stock pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder will hold “restricted securities.” Resales of such restricted securities would not be exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Holders of restricted securities would, however, be permitted to resell New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock without registration if they are able to comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 144A or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, or if such securities are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

XIV.

23. Pursuant to sections 1123(a) and 1142(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, upon the Effective Date, the provisions of this Confirmation Order and the Plan shall apply and be binding and enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable nonbankruptcy law.

XV.

Reservation of Rights of the United States

24. As to the United States of America, its agencies, departments, or agents (collectively, the “United States”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation Order, the Plan, the Plan Supplement or the Disclosure Statement, as to the United States, nothing in the Confirmation Order, Plan, or Disclosure Statement shall: (1) affect or impair the rights of the United States to assert setoff and recoupment and such rights (and the Debtors’ defenses and any corresponding setoff and recoupment rights of the Debtors) are expressly preserved; (2) affect or impair the exercise of the United States’ police and regulatory powers against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any non-Debtor; (3) be construed as a compromise or settlement of any

claim, liability, suit, cause of action, or interest of the United States; (4) release, enjoin, or discharge any non-Debtor from any claim, liability, suit, or cause of action of the United States nor shall anything in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, the Plan Supplement or the Disclosure Statement enjoin the United States from bringing any claim, suit, cause of action, or other proceeding against any non-Debtor for any liability whatsoever; or (5) shall affect or impair any rights or causes of action that the United States has or may have against any surety under any Customs or other bond pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law, nor shall anything in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, the Plan Supplement or the Disclosure Statement preclude or prohibit the ability of the United States to make demand on, be paid by, or otherwise pursue any surety that is jointly and severally liable for any debt owed to the United States; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall affect in any way any release by the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, their Estates, any person exercising the rights of the Estates, or any successor to the Estates of the Released Parties provided for in Article VIII.B of the Plan.

25. No provision in the Plan or this Confirmation Order relieves the Debtors or the reorganized Debtors from their obligation to comply with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules, regulations and orders promulgated thereunder by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). No transfer of any FCC license or authorization held by the Debtors or transfer of control of the Debtors, or transfer of control of a FCC licensee controlled by the Debtors shall take place prior to the issuance of FCC regulatory approval for such transfer pursuant to applicable FCC regulations. The FCC’s rights and powers to take any action pursuant to its regulatory authority including, but not limited to, imposing any regulatory conditions on any of the above described transfers, are fully preserved, and nothing herein shall proscribe or constrain the FCC’s exercise of such power or authority.

XVI.

Louisiana Department of Revenue

26. A failure by any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to make a payment due under the Plan or pay any tax due for any post-Confirmation tax period to the Louisiana Department of Revenue (“LDR”) shall be an “Event of Default”. LDR will give the Debtor written notice of the Event of Default (“Notice of Default”) at the address listed on the Debtor’s most recent filed tax return, with a copy to the Debtors’ counsel, provided however, that the failure to declare an Event of Default at the time of occurrence not constitute a waiver by LDR of its right to declare that the Debtor is in default. If the Debtor fails to cure the default within twenty (20) days after receipt of Notice of Default, LDR may (a) enforce the entire amount of its Claim; (b) exercise any and all rights and remedies allowed under state law or any other applicable non-bankruptcy law; and/or (c) seek such relief as my be available from a court of applicable jurisdiction. Any Allowed Administrative Claims of LDR not timely paid in accordance with applicable law shall include interest at the applicable statutory rate of the State of Louisiana. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Confirmation Order to the contrary, (i) LDR’s setoff rights, if any, are preserved, (ii) the Plan does not release any third party non-Debtor entity for any liability owed to LDR with respect to Sales or Withholding Taxes imposed pursuant to La. R.S. 47:1561:1.

27. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to section 503(b)(1)(D), LDR is not required to file a request for the payment of an expense described in sections 503(b)(1)(B) or (C) as a condition of its being an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Confirmation Order to the contrary, on and after the Effective Date, LDR is permitted to amend a previously timely filed proof of claim to the extent it relates back to such previously filed proof of claim. The Reorganized Debtors’ rights to dispute any such amendment are preserved.

28. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Bankruptcy Court’s retention of jurisdiction with respect to LDR’s prepetition claim(s) shall be limited to (i) resolving the amount of and all other matters with respect to any tax claim arising prior to Confirmation, and (ii) enforcing any discharge provision of the Plan. Subject to section 505 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court retains exclusive jurisdiction to address all matters pertaining to any LDR Claim arising prior to Confirmation.

XVII.

29. Reorganized Bristow Parent is authorized to implement the Management Incentive Plan to the extent provided for in the Plan.

XVIII.

Exit Facility and Amended Debt Facilities

30. The Reorganized Debtors are hereby authorized to enter into, on the Effective Date, and take such actions as necessary or desirable to perform under either of the Exit Facility and the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Facility and, in each case, all documents or agreements related thereto, including the payment or reimbursement of any fees, indemnities and expenses under or pursuant to any such documents and agreements in connection therewith. In addition, to the extent not entered into by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors are hereby authorized to enter into the Amended PK Air Loan Documents and the amendments to the Macquarie Term Loan Documents provided for in the Macquarie Settlement (the “Amended Macquarie Term Loan Credit Facility”), all transactions contemplated thereby, and all actions to be taken, undertakings to be made, and obligations to be incurred and fees paid by the Reorganized Debtors in connection therewith.

31. The Debtors shall continue and complete the Exit Facility marketing process in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement. In the event that the Exit Facility marketing process is not successfully completed, the Debtors shall provide for the treatment of the 2019 Term Loan Facility Claims in accordance with Article III.B.3.b.ii of the Plan, provided that any Amended and Reinstated 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement shall be acceptable to the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Facility), the Required Supporting Secured Noteholders (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) and the Required Backstop Parties (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) and shall be subject to the Committee Consent Right.

32. The lenders under the Exit Facility or the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Facility, as applicable, the Amended PK Air Credit Facility Agreement and the Amended Macquarie Term Loan Documents, shall have valid, binding, and enforceable Liens on the Collateral (or other property identified as “Collateral” therein) specified in, and to the extent required by, the Exit Facility Documents or the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Documents, as applicable, the Amended PK Air Loan Documents and the Amended Macquarie Term Loan Documents, as applicable, provided that no such Liens shall apply to those certain certificates of deposit assigned to Hancock Whitney Bank designated as CD# 707747 which secures Letter of Credit #7348399 in the amount of $195,000.00; CD# 707748 which secures Letter of Credit #5512899 in the amount of $235,000.00; CD# 707749 which secures Letter of Credit #3874799 in the amount of $250,000.00; and CD# 727158 which secures its card account, whose last four digits are #2374 in the amount of $112,000.00, as well as CD# 727161 which secures its card account, whose last four digits are #6554 in the amount of $70,000.00.

33. To the extent granted, the guarantees, mortgages, pledges, Liens and other security interests granted pursuant to either the Exit Facility Documents or the Amended and Restated 2019 Term Loan Documents, as applicable, the Amended PK Air Loan Documents and the Amended Macquarie Loan Documents are granted in good faith as an inducement to the lenders under either

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

34. Unless otherwise assumed or rejected pursuant to an order of the Court (including the Milestone Settlement Order and the Macquarie Settlement Order) entered prior to the Effective Date, on the Effective Date, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is listed on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases may include the assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates.

35. All of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, including the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan, and shall also be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or the Confirmation Order, with respect to their insurance policies, the Debtors are authorized to: (i) pay all insurance obligations in connection with their insurance, (ii) maintain and administer their insurance policies and honor and pay all claims, including but not limited to deductible amounts and self-insured retention amounts, and other costs and expenses related thereto, whether arising prior to or after the Petition Date and (iii) pay any undisputed prepetition amounts that are later determined to be due and owing as a result of an audit, including any additional fees and costs imposed as a result of any audit.

36. To the extent the Debtors assume the Debtors’ self-funded employee health benefits plan (“Health Plan”) and that certain Master Services Agreement No. MSA-476690 dated January 1, 2010 (the “Master Services Agreement”), through which Aetna Life Insurance Company (“Aetna”) administers the Health Plan, Aetna’s rights are hereby reserved to recover from the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors all amounts that become due to Aetna in the ordinary course under the Health Plan and the Master Services Agreement. This reservation includes without limitation, Aetna’s right to recover from the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors all amounts under the Health Plan and/or the Master Services Agreement which have been accrued but not yet submitted to or processed by Aetna, without regard to whether the dates of service for such benefits were prior to or after the Effective Date.

37. The Backstop Commitment Agreement and the Restructuring Support Agreement, which are hereby approved on a final basis, shall also be assumed on the Effective Date.

38. Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall survive and remain unaffected.

39. If certain, but not all, of a contract counterparty’s Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases are assumed pursuant to the Plan, such counterparty’s Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases that are being rejected pursuant to the Plan are deemed severable agreements that are not integrated with those Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases that are being assumed pursuant to the Plan.

BRS Investor Group

40. For purposes of the third-party release set forth in Article VIII.C and solely with respect to securities class action claims that have been asserted against the previously named Individual Defendants (the “Named Defendants”) in the securities litigation styled: In re Bristow Group Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 19-cv-00509 (KPE), in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (“Securities Litigation”), the term “Releasing Parties” shall not include Persons or Entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Existing Interests between February 8, 2018 and February 12, 2019, inclusive, that are seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the “Securities Class Members”), provided that (i) any recovery, if any, under or payment of proceeds of or settlement in such action or on account of such Claims is limited solely to amounts recoverable under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, (ii) the Securities Class Members shall be deemed to have waived any portion of any judgment that would (a) otherwise have to be satisfied by (x) an unexhausted self-insured retention or deductible payable by the Debtors or (y) the Named Defendants personally or their assets, or (b) otherwise not be covered by the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, (iii) the Securities Class Members shall not seek, and shall not be entitled to, any recovery from the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors and/or the assets of any of the foregoing other than the D&O Liability Insurance Policies; (iv) nothing in this paragraph shall affect the Debtors’ release of the Named Defendants pursuant to Article VIII.B of the Plan, it being

understood that the Securities Class Members shall be enjoined from asserting or prosecuting any derivative claim by or on behalf of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and (v) all proofs of claim filed by the Securities Class Members or their counsel, including without limitation Proof of Claim No. 107, filed in the name “BRS Investor Group, as Lead Plaintiff in the Consolidated Action (as set forth in the Addendum)” are hereby deemed withdrawn with prejudice except as provided for in this first sentence of this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, all claims and defenses of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Named Defendants and the insurers under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies are preserved and the inclusion of this paragraph in the Confirmation Order is not a determination of any claim or issue in the Securities Litigation. For the further avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall give rise to or provide a basis for the Named Defendants to assert a general unsecured claim against any of the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases.

41. Nothing in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall (a) constitute a finding or stipulation that any proceeds of any of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies are property of the Estate, (b) modify or supersede any provision (including but not limited to any priority of payments provision) of any of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, or (c) otherwise preclude any Person entitled to coverage under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies from seeking recovery under or payment of proceeds of any such D&O Liability Insurance Policy in accordance with the terms thereof.

XXI.

44. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Court retains jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or related to these Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan, including the matters set forth in Article XI of the Plan.

45. Notwithstanding the possible applicability of Bankruptcy Rules 6004(g), 7062, 9014, or otherwise, the terms and conditions of this Confirmation Order shall be effective and enforceable immediately upon its entry. Each term and provision of the Plan, and the transactions related thereto as it heretofore may have been altered or interpreted by the Court is: (a) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (b) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified except as provided by the Plan or this Confirmation Order; and (c) nonseverable and mutually dependent.

46. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Restructuring Support Agreement, and the Backstop Commitment Agreement, respectively, the Debtors are hereby authorized to amend or modify the Plan at any time prior to the substantial consummation of the Plan, but only in accordance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Article X.A of the Plan, without further order of this Court.

Exhibit I

Material Terms of Management Incentive Plan

October 1, 2019

REORGANIZED BRISTOW GROUP INC.

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN TERM SHEET

The following term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) summarizes the principal terms of a Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to be sponsored by Bristow Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and of grants to be made as of the Effective Date¹ to executives and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (each, a “Participant”), in accordance with the allocation set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. This Term Sheet is based on the understanding that the Participants will receive grants out of the Initial MIP Pool (as defined below), and the Reorganized Bristow Parent Board will determine the terms and conditions of any additional grants to be made from the remaining MIP Pool (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan (as defined below)). For the avoidance of doubt, no grants will occur prior to the Effective Date, and all grants are subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date.


Overview:		• Initial MIP Pool. A number of shares of the Company’s New Stock equal to 4% of the Company’s New Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date shall be reserved for the issuance of awards under the Plan (the “Initial MIP Pool”), with 60% of the Initial MIP Pool granted in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 40% of the Initial MIP Pool granted in the form of stock options (“Options” and, together with the RSUs, the “Initial Awards”). The ratio of New Common Stock to New Preferred Stock underlying the Initial Awards will be the same as the ratio of New Common Stock to New Preferred Stock held by the average Backstop Commitment Party.

Vesting:		• Normal Vesting. Subject to a Participant’s continued employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date, such Participant’s Initial Awards will vest 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the Effective Date (or the date of grant for awards made subsequent to the Effective Date, as applicable). • Vesting Upon a Qualifying Termination (Not in Connection with a Change in Control). If a Participant is terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries without Cause or resigns for Good Reason (in each case, as customarily defined for a private equity held company, and any such termination, a “Qualifying Termination”) and not within 12 months after a Change in Control (as defined below), such Participant will vest in a pro-rata portion of the then-current tranche of his or her Initial Awards (determined based on the length of his or her employment with the Company or one if its subsidiaries from the last vesting date through the Qualifying Termination date; provided that if the Qualifying Termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, vesting will be determined based on the Participant’s deemed employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries through such first anniversary). The additional vesting upon a Qualifying Termination will be subject to the Participant’s timely execution and non-revocation of a customary release of claims in favor of the Company. • Vesting in Connection with a Change in Control. Upon a Qualifying Termination that occurs within 12 months after a Change in Control, a Participant will vest in that portion of his or her Initial Awards that would have vested during the 12-month period following the Qualifying Termination date had such Participant remained employed with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Bristow Group Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates, as Modified (as may be amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time in accordance with its terms) (the “Chapter 11 Plan”).

Final Version


Exercise/Settlement:		• RSUs. Shares in respect of vested RSUs will be delivered upon the first to occur of (i) a Change in Control that also qualifies as a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) and (ii) the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date. • Options. • The Options in respect of the New Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Options”) will be structured in a manner compliant with Section 409A, and vested Preferred Options will be exercised upon the first to occur of (i) a Change in Control that also qualifies as a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A and (ii) the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date. • The Options in respect of the Common Stock will, to the extent feasible, be structured in a manner exempt from Section 409A, and vested Common Options will be exercisable until the first to occur of (i) the 10th anniversary of the grant date and (ii) either (A) the first anniversary of the Participant’s termination date, if the Participant’s termination occurs due to death or disability, or (B) the 90th day following the Participant’s termination date, if the Participant’s termination occurs for any other reason (other than for Cause, which will result in immediate forfeiture of the Options). • Net-Settlement. The Initial Awards will contain net-settlement provisions, which will apply only to the extent that the Company’s shares are not publicly traded at the time of settlement of the applicable Initial Award, that will allow for the Participants to cover their minimal income tax withholding obligations (collectively, the “Tax Payment”) and, if applicable, aggregate exercise price payment (the “Exercise Price Payment”) due in connection with the settlement by surrendering to the Company a number of shares that otherwise would be delivered upon settlement of the Initial Award and have an aggregate fair market value equal to the Tax Payment and, if applicable, the Exercise Price Payment.

Other Terms and Conditions:		• Awards under the Plan will be subject to other terms and conditions customary for awards under a management incentive plan established in connection with a private equity style investment, including, without limitation, transfer restrictions, drag-along rights, co-sale or tag-along rights and repurchase provisions, and Participants will be required to execute such definitive documentation as the Company may require in order to effectuate the foregoing.

Restrictive Covenants:		• Restrictive covenants will be addressed in the Company’s amended and restated severance plan effective as of the Effective Date (the “Severance Plan”) for Participants with a title of Vice President or above, including a minimum 12-month (or the actual duration of the salary severance continuation period, if longer) post-termination non-competition covenant, 24-month post-termination non-solicitation/non-hire covenant, perpetual confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants, and an assignment of inventions covenant. As a condition to receiving an Initial Award, each such Participant will be required to reaffirm his or her obligations thereunder.

Final Version



		• Each Participant in the Plan in job grades 7 through 11 who is an area manager or who receives an Initial Award representing at least 1.5% of the Initial MIP Pool will be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in his or her award agreement, which will be substantially the same as those used for the Severance Plan, except that (a) the non-compete covenant will incorporate changes to the extent minimally necessary to comply with applicable governing law, and (b) the duration of the non-competition covenant will be the period from the date on which the Participant executes his or her award agreement through the 6-month anniversary of his or her termination date.

Change in Control:		• To be defined in the same manner as the Severance Plan.

BRISTOW GROUP’S PLAN OF REORGANIZATION CONFIRMED BY COURT

Company expects to consummate its reorganization by October 31, 2019

Upon emergence, the Company will be a privately held, better capitalized global company with a

total of $535 million of new equity capital and strengthened liquidity

HOUSTON, October 7, 2019 — Bristow Group Inc. (OTC: BRSWQ) (“Bristow” or the “Company”) today announced that on October 4, 2019, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas confirmed the Company’s Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and indicated that it will enter a written order to this effect. The Company expects to consummate its financial restructuring process and successfully emerge from Chapter 11 by October 31, 2019.

Upon emergence as a privately held Company, Bristow’s largest owners are expected to be affiliates of Solus Alternative Asset Management LP, South Dakota Investment Council, Empyrean Capital Partners, LP, Bain Capital Credit and Oak Hill Advisors, who are expected to own in excess of 50% of Bristow’s equity collectively, with the remaining equity held by other secured creditors and unsecured noteholders.

Under the terms of the approved Plan, at emergence the Company will receive $535 million of new capital from a majority of Bristow’s secured and unsecured noteholders: (i) $385 million through an equity rights offering, and (ii) Bristow’s $150 million debtor-in-possession loan, which was funded in August 2019 and will convert into new equity of the reorganized Company at emergence.

L. Don Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bristow, said, “Achieving Plan confirmation is an important milestone that comes less than five months after we initially filed Chapter 11. As a reorganized Company, we will emerge a stronger, well capitalized global organization with an industry-leading balance sheet and strong liquidity. I commend the entire global Bristow organization for working diligently to navigate the restructuring process while flying safely and continuing to provide exceptional client service. I also express my gratitude to our clients for their continuing confidence in Bristow during this process. We look forward to continuing to work with our new owners, who have been very supportive of our global team and greatly value our market leading position.”

The consummation of the Plan will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions, including completion of the equity rights offering.
