In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on June 30, 2020, the Company entered into that certain Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (as amended on August 17, 2020, August 21, 2020, August 28, 2020, and September 8, 2020, the “DIP Credit Agreement”) with the Filing Subsidiaries, as guarantors, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”).
