Item 7.01			Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 5, 2020, we issued a news release announcing results for the Company’s second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020. A copy of the news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 7.01.

Debt Commitment Letter

On August 4, 2020, Weatherford International Ltd. (“Weatherford Bermuda”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Weatherford plc, entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with certain parties (such parties, the “Note Purchasers”) that are holders of Weatherford Bermuda’s 11.00% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) or their respective affiliates or affiliated funds, pursuant to which the Note Purchasers committed to purchase $500 million of new 8.75% senior secured first lien notes due 2024 (the “New Notes”) issued by Weatherford Bermuda, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Note Purchasers’ commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter will expire on August 14, 2020, unless the closing of the New Notes issuance occurs on or prior to such date.

The proceeds of the New Notes would be used to (a) repay all obligations outstanding under, and terminate, the Credit Agreement dated as of December 13, 2019 (the “ABL Credit Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto, Weatherford plc, as parent, and Weatherford Bermuda and Weatherford International, LLC (“Weatherford Delaware”), as borrowers, and/or cash collateralize the letters of credit outstanding thereunder, and (b) provide liquidity to the Company for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and to pay fees, costs and expenses associated with the New Notes and the other transactions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter.

The New Notes would be guaranteed by (a) Weatherford plc, (b) Weatherford Delaware, (c) all of Weatherford plc’s subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under (i) the LC Credit Agreement dated as of December 13, 2019 (the “LC Credit Agreement”), among Weatherford Bermuda and Weatherford Delaware, as borrowers, Weatherford plc, as parent, the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “LC Agent”), and (ii) the Senior Unsecured Notes and (d) within a mutually agreed period following the issuance of the New Notes, certain other subsidiaries of Weatherford plc satisfactory to the Note Purchasers (clauses (a) through (d), collectively, the “Guarantors”). The New Notes would be senior secured obligations of Weatherford Bermuda and the Guarantors, and would bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum. The scheduled maturity of the New Notes would be September 1, 2024. Weatherford Bermuda will pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Debt Commitment Letter.

The Note Purchasers’ obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter are subject to certain conditions precedent, including, among others, (a) execution and delivery of all documentation related to the New Notes (subject to post-closing periods to be agreed for certain security matters), (b) execution and delivery of an amendment to the LC Credit Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Note Purchasers, which, among other things, shall permit the issuance of the New Notes on the terms contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, (c) execution and delivery of an intercreditor agreement between the

trustee for the New Notes and the LC Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Note Purchasers, and (d) execution and delivery of a customary notes purchase agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Note Purchasers.

There can be no assurance that such conditions precedent, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, will be satisfied or waived before the Debt Commitment Letter expires on August 14, 2020. If the conditions precedent cannot be satisfied and are not waived by such date, there are no assurances that the Note Purchasers will extend such expiration date. Additionally, under such circumstances, there can be no assurance that Weatherford Bermuda will be able to obtain alternative financing to the transactions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter. Accordingly, the failure to consummate the New Notes issuance on or prior to August 14, 2020 could result in the Company being unable to issue the New Notes or obtain alternative financing.

A copy of the Debt Commitment Letter is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2.

			News Release

Weatherford Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results

•Total cash of $756 million as of June 30, 2020, a decrease of $8 million from March 31, 2020

•Signed financing commitment for $500 million of new senior secured first lien notes, subject to certain closing conditions

•Cash flows from operations of $31 million and unlevered free cash flow of $108 million

•Operating loss of $497 million and adjusted EBITDA of $79 million

•Cost savings plan expanded to deliver an expected $650 million of savings in 2020, of which approximately 85% has been implemented

Note: Upon completing its financial restructuring in late 2019, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting resulting in Weatherford becoming a new entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As required by GAAP, results up to and including December 13, 2019 are presented separately as the predecessor period (the “Predecessor” period) and results from December 14, 2019 and onwards are presented as the successor period (the “Successor” period). The results from these Predecessor and Successor periods are not comparable. Nevertheless, for discussion purposes herein, the Company has presented the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods as we believe this provides the most meaningful basis to analyze our results.

Houston, August 5, 2020 – Weatherford International plc (“Weatherford” or the “Company”) announced today its results for the second quarter of 2020.

On a GAAP basis, revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $821 million, a decline of 32% sequentially and 37% year-on-year. Reported operating loss was $497 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to an operating loss of $822 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $118 million in the second quarter of 2019. The Company’s second-quarter 2020 net loss was $581 million, compared to a net loss of $966 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $316 million in the second quarter of 2019. Second-quarter 2020 cash flows from operations were $31 million and capital expenditures were $35 million. Available liquidity of $771 million as of June 30, 2020 was comprised of $680 million of cash and cash equivalents and $91 million of availability under the Company’s senior secured asset-based lending agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”).

On a non-GAAP basis:

•Adjusted EBITDA ^[1][2] of $79 million declined 56% sequentially and 39% year-on-year and associated margins of 10% decreased 503 basis points sequentially and were flat year-on-year

•Unlevered free cash flow of $108 million ^[1] during the quarter improved $108 million sequentially and $306 million year-on-year

Karl Blanchard, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, commented, “Disruptions to the global supply and demand of commodities and the resulting decline in prices, combined with COVID-related restrictions, led to unprecedented reductions in customer spending in the quarter. This had a material impact on the industry, with significant declines in activity in North America and internationally. As such, we aggressively expanded our cost reduction actions, and bolstered our financial strength, preserving our margins and enhancing our liquidity position.

“We are pleased to announce a new $500 million financing commitment which, subject to closing conditions, will strengthen the Company’s liquidity as it continues to support customers during this challenging environment.

“Global oil demand is in the early stages of what will likely be an uneven path to recovery, and we expect the market environment to remain challenging over the near-term. Over the medium- to long-term, the backlog of crude inventory, continued uncertainty associated with COVID-19 outbreaks and the resulting changes to global oil consumption patterns are expected to serve as headwinds for commodity prices, yielding a protracted timeline for a rebound in activity.

“We continue to focus on delivering operational excellence to our valued customers, making structural improvements to minimize the impact of activity reductions and further improve the Company’s operating efficiency. We began taking action early in the year, expanded our efforts in the quarter, and will take additional actions as needed going forward. We will maintain disciplined controls on costs and spending to maximize liquidity and preserve our margins as we progress through the cycle. We are proud of how our employees managed in this difficult environment, in both supporting our customers and executing on our plans.”

Notes:

^[1]Adjusted EBITDA excludes, among other items, impairments on long-lived assets, including goodwill, property plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and inventory. Unlevered free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures plus proceeds from the disposition of assets, plus cash paid for interest. Adjusted EBITDA and unlevered free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Each measure is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.

^[2] In the first quarter of 2020 the Company began reporting adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation expense. Additional detail for the current and historical periods is provided in the tables below.

Enhancing Liquidity

In conjunction with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company obtained the $450 million ABL Credit Agreement and the $200 million senior secured letter of credit agreement (the “LC Credit Agreement”). Borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Agreement is primarily driven by certain of the Company’s assets in North America, including working capital items such as accounts receivable and inventory. As activity in North America deteriorated during the first half of the year and working capital balances decreased, the Company’s availability under the ABL Credit Agreement reduced meaningfully below the $450 million facility size. This deterioration, combined with the fact that a meaningful portion of the Company’s operations are derived outside of North America, created a mismatch between the Company’s available liquidity and letter of credit capacity and its operational needs. As such, during the Company’s first quarter 2020 earnings release, the Company highlighted concerns around the uncertainty associated with its declining borrowing base.

On August 4, 2020 Weatherford signed a commitment letter for a senior secured first lien notes issuance that, assuming the conditions thereto are satisfied or waived and the notes issued, would substantially increase the Company’s liquidity and enhance its financial strength. Consistent with this financing commitment, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions thereto, Weatherford expects to issue $500 million of new senior secured first lien notes maturing in September 2024. The proceeds of this note issuance are intended to be used to repay the ABL Credit Agreement, cash collateralize any letters of credit outstanding thereunder, and increase the Company’s liquidity position. This financing is subject to documentation and certain closing conditions that are more fully disclosed in the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 5, 2020. There can be no assurance that the closing conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, will be satisfied or waived before the financing commitment expires on August 14, 2020.

In addition, the Company has reduced capital expenditures and is monetizing net working capital, with second-quarter 2020 unlevered free cash flow of $108 million having improved $108 million sequentially and $306 million year-on-year.

Weatherford was compliant with the financial covenants under its indentures, the ABL Credit Agreement, and its LC Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2020.

Preserving Margin

In light of current market conditions and the outlook for the coming quarters, Weatherford has significantly expanded its cost savings plan and the Company expects to generate $650 million of savings in 2020. Approximately 85% of these actions have already been implemented, with the remainder to be completed during the second half of 2020. On an annualized basis, these actions are expected to yield over $800 million of cost savings.

The Company took aggressive actions to reduce costs during the quarter, and the impact materialized in the Company’s second-quarter results. Second-quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA margins were flat year-on-year, despite a 37% reduction in revenue over the same period, yielding year-on-year adjusted EBITDA decrementals of 10%.

Leveraging Our Portfolio

Weatherford was awarded a five-year deepwater tubular-running service contract for work in the Gulf of Mexico. As part of this award, Weatherford will design and manufacture equipment to run high-spec tubulars and will provide mechanized equipment for an efficient, hands-free operation. This award highlights the strength of Weatherford’s leading tubular-running services portfolio and leverages the Company’s technology, service quality and its unique solution-based approach.

The Company installed a customer’s first annulus gas-lift system (“AGLS”) in two wells as part of an offshore operation in Norway. The AGLS includes non-standard sizes of completion equipment in an all-new well design. To deliver the installations, the Weatherford team partnered with the customer’s engineering team during the planning, design and testing phases to provide several high-value solutions to its operations achieving a successful outcome. Additionally, certain services were performed remotely from onshore. The operation highlights how Weatherford is quickly adapting operational procedures and is closely collaborating with customers to address their challenges.

Weatherford deployed pressure pumping services in a high-pressure, high-temperature well for the first time in Southern Mexico. The Company used its AcidSure® acidizing system to optimize formulations and applied nodal analysis from its Interpretation and Evaluation Services group to deliver hydrocarbon production that was 30% higher than initial estimates. This operation is one of many highlights of how Weatherford is leveraging its broad portfolio of products and services to increase production at the wellsite.

Weatherford was awarded a large integrated project with a major drilling company in Iraq. The contract includes drilling and completing 20 wells in Southern Iraq, with the customer providing rigs, civil works and drilling services and Weatherford providing project management and all other services. This contract is a testament to the strength of Weatherford’s capabilities across the Middle East.

Weatherford was named “Contractor of the Year” by Santos for the operational performance the Company delivered on an offshore campaign in Australia. Weatherford replaced a competitor who had served on previous campaigns and the Company was expressly recognized for its enhancements to operational efficiency and safety.

Second-quarter 2020 Western Hemisphere revenues of $310 million decreased 47% sequentially and 57% year-on-year.

In North America, second-quarter 2020 revenues of $172 million declined by 50% sequentially due to activity reductions and production shut-ins in the United States and activity decreases in Canada associated with spring break-up and the COVID-19 pandemic. The 50% sequential revenue decline compares favorably to the market, as the average rig count in North America declined by 57% during the second quarter.

Second-quarter 2020 revenues of $138 million in Latin America declined 44% sequentially, driven primarily by activity reductions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The activity reductions were the most significant in Argentina and Colombia, where average rig counts declined approximately 90% during the quarter and, for reference, Argentina and Colombia comprised approximately 50% of Weatherford’s revenues in Latin America in 2019.

Second-quarter 2020 adjusted segment EBITDA of $6 million decreased $70 million sequentially and associated margins of 2% decreased by 1,100 basis points versus the first quarter of 2020. The decline in adjusted segment EBITDA was driven by activity reductions in North and Latin America which were offset by meaningful reductions in fixed and variable costs, as evidenced by year-on-year adjusted segment EBITDA decrementals of 12%.

Eastern Hemisphere


	Successor									Predecessor

Second-quarter 2020 Eastern Hemisphere revenues of $511 million declined 19% sequentially and 13% year-on-year.

In the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, second-quarter 2020 revenues of $341 million declined 15% sequentially, due to activity reductions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and OPEC+ production cuts, which were partially offset by growth in Saudi Arabia driven by increased product sales.

Second-quarter 2020 revenues in Europe, Sub Saharan Africa and Russia of $170 million declined 24% sequentially, driven by activity reductions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Sub Saharan Africa.

Second-quarter 2020 adjusted segment EBITDA of $100 million decreased $27 million sequentially and associated margins of 20% declined 70 basis points versus the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in adjusted segment EBITDA was primarily driven by the aforementioned reductions in activity and was partially offset by fixed and variable cost reductions, as evidenced by the 280 basis point year-on-year improvement in adjusted segment EBITDA margins.

Impairment and Restructuring Charges

In accordance with accounting guidelines, the Company is required to assess its goodwill, tangible and other intangible assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recovered. Due to the challenging industry environment, management determined that impairment indicators existed and conducted an assessment resulting in impairment charges of $384 million during the second quarter of 2020. The charges are broken down as follows:

•Goodwill: $72 million

•Other intangible assets: $22 million

•Right of use assets: $15 million

•Property, plant, and equipment: $141 million

•Inventory: $134 million

Additionally, Weatherford recorded pre-tax restructuring and other charges of $79 million related to the Company’s headcount reductions, facility consolidation, and other activities.

[1]Working capital is defined as the cash changes in accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable.

[2]Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from the disposition of assets. Management believes free cash flow is useful to understand liquidity and should be considered in addition to but not substitute cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities.

[3]Predecessor Free Cash Flow for the second quarter of 2019 was negative $265 million and was comprised of cash used in operating activities of $229 million less capital expenditures of $55 million plus proceeds from the disposition of assets of $19 million.

[1]During the second quarter of 2020 to support the streamlining and realignment of the businesses, we combined our prior reported four product lines into two product lines. Our two primary product lines are as follows: (1) Production and Completions and (2) Drilling, Evaluation and Intervention. Production and Completions includes Artificial Lift Systems, Stimulation and Testing and Production Services, Completion Systems, Liner Systems and Cementing Products. Drilling, Evaluation and Intervention includes Drilling Services, Managed Pressure Drilling, Wireline Services, Tubular Running Services, Intervention Services, and Drilling Tools and Rental Equipment.

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Weatherford’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K) may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods and comparisons with peer companies. The non-GAAP amounts shown in the following tables should not be considered as substitutes for operating income, provision for income taxes, net income or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Weatherford International Ltd.

2000 St. James Place

Attention: Karl Blanchard

Interim Chief Executive Officer,

Executive Vice President and

Chief Operating Officer

August 4, 2020

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Weatherford International Ltd. (“Weatherford”, the “Issuer” or “you”) has advised the entities listed on Schedule I hereto (each, a “Notes Purchaser” and together, the “Notes Purchasers”, “we” or “us”) that Weatherford intends to refinance and/or cash collateralize all outstanding obligations under its ABL Credit Agreement (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning assigned to such term in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”)).

Weatherford has further advised that, in connection therewith, and subject solely to the conditions set forth in Section 4 of this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet under the paragraph titled “Conditions to New Notes Purchase,” it will issue the 8.75% senior secured first lien notes (the “New Notes”) described in the Term Sheet, in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the date of the issuance of the New Notes, the “Closing Date”).

1.Commitments.

In connection with the foregoing, the Notes Purchasers hereby commit, on a several and not joint basis, to purchase, for cash, in the aggregate for all such entities, 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes, in each case upon the terms, and subject solely to the conditions, set forth in this commitment letter (including the Term Sheet and other attachments hereto, this “Commitment Letter”), which commitment is allocated among the Notes Purchasers as set forth on Schedule I hereto.

2.Information.

You hereby represent that (a) all written factual information (other than projections (such projections, the “Projections”), forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to any Notes Purchaser by you or any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions

contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto) and (b) the Projections and other forward looking information that have been or will be made available to any Notes Purchaser by you or any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made and at the time such Projections or other forward looking information are made available to us; it being understood by the Notes Purchasers that such Projections and other forward looking information are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, such Projections and other forward looking information are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections or other forward looking information may differ significantly from the projected results, such differences may be material, and that no assurance can be given that the projected results will be realized. You agree that, if at any time prior to the Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances. The Notes Purchasers will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.

3.Fees.

As consideration for the Notes Purchasers’ commitments hereunder, you agree to pay to us the fees set forth in the Term Sheet on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Once paid, such fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances except as agreed to between you and us.

4.Conditions Precedent.

Each Notes Purchaser’s obligation to purchase its portion of the New Notes on the Closing Date are subject solely to the satisfaction (or waiver by such Notes Purchaser) of the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet under the paragraph titled “Conditions to New Notes Purchase.” There shall be no conditions to the issuance and purchase of the New Notes other than those expressly referred to in this Section 4.

5.Indemnification; Expenses.

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each Notes Purchaser and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject or that may be incurred or asserted or awarded against such Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter or any related transaction or any actual or threatened claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any such claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding, a “Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by you, your equity holders, creditors or any other third party or by any of your subsidiaries or affiliates), and to reimburse each such

Indemnified Person promptly upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing by one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, if necessary, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel with your prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), of another firm of counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for such affected Indemnified Person)) and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing or in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this Commitment Letter; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to (A) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of an Indemnified Person or an Indemnified Person’s controlled or controlling affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or representatives (collectively, such Indemnified Person’s “Related Persons”), or (ii) arising out of a material breach by an Indemnified Person (or an Indemnified Person’s Related Persons) of any obligations under this Commitment Letter (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), or (iii) arising out of any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of you or any of your affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person, (B) any settlement entered into by such Indemnified Person (or any of such Indemnified Person’s Related Persons) without your written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); or (C) any expenses of the type referred to in clause (b) of this sentence, (b) to reimburse the Notes Purchasers from time to time, upon demand, for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to expenses of our due diligence investigation and fees, disbursements and other charges of (i) Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, (ii) local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, (iii) special counsel with respect to each relevant specialty and (iv) such other counsel identified in the Term Sheet), in each case, incurred in connection with the New Notes and the preparation and negotiation of this Commitment Letter, the definitive documentation for the New Notes and any ancillary documents and security and intercreditor arrangements in connection therewith and (c) to pay the fees, expenses, disbursements and other charges of the trustee and collateral agent for the New Notes and their respective counsel. It is further agreed that the Notes Purchasers shall have no liability to any person other than you, and you shall have no liability to any person other than the Notes Purchasers and the Indemnified Persons in connection with this Commitment Letter, the New Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. None of the Indemnified Persons or you or any of your affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, and agents of the foregoing shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with this Commitment Letter, the New Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The provisions of this Section 5 shall be superseded in each case by the applicable provisions contained in the definitive financing documentation in respect of the New Notes upon execution thereof and thereafter shall have no further force and effect. You shall not, without the prior written consent of each applicable Indemnified Person (which consent, except with respect to a settlement including a statement of the type referred to in clause (b) below, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings, (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person and (c) requires no action on the part of the Indemnified Person other than its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

6.Sharing Information; Absence of Fiduciary Relationship; Affiliate Activities.

You acknowledge that we may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein or otherwise. We will not furnish confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or our other relationships with you to other companies. You also acknowledge that we do not have any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained by us from other companies.

You further acknowledge and agree that (a) each Notes Purchaser will act as an independent contractor and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between you and us is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, (b) each Notes Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not as an agent of yours hereunder and the Notes Purchasers, on the one hand, and you, on the other hand, have an arm’s-length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do you rely on, any fiduciary duty on the part of us in connection with this Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (c) you are capable of evaluating and understanding, and you understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter.
