• Oroville Hospital and OroHealth Corporation: A Nonprofit Healthcare System, as Borrowers
• The liability of the Debtors for the DIP Obligations shall be joint and several
• The Debtors filed voluntary chapter 11 petitions on Dec. 8, 2025, and continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession under sections 1107(a) and 1108

Agent / Lender(s)

• UMB Bank, N.A., as successor Series 2019 Bond Trustee, as DIP Lender
• One or more holders of the Bonds to the extent necessary as identified in the DIP Orders
• The Directing Bondholders with respect to the DIP Lender are the beneficial owners of a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Series 2019 Bonds

DIP Commitments

• $40 million senior secured super-priority term loan facility comprised of:
  • $24 million sourced from funds held by the DIP Lender under the Bond Indentures
  • $16 million from funds to be advanced to the DIP Lender from the Funding Bondholders
• The DIP Facility will be made available through:
  • An initial maximum aggregate amount of up to $16 million in accordance with the Approved Budget (the Interim Advance) following entry of the Interim DIP Order
  • Following entry of the Final DIP Order, additional draws under the DIP Facility will be made available on a regular basis to be agreed upon in accordance with the Approved Budget in the aggregate amount not to exceed $24 million
  • Further additional draws may be made on 5 days' notice, as needed and agreed to by the DIP Lender, subject to Court approval
• On Feb. 20, 2026, the court entered the Final DIP Order [Docket No. 480] approving the Secured Superpriority Debtor in Possession Financing Summary of Terms and Conditions dated Dec. 11, 2025, which together with the Final DIP Order and all related documents constitute the DIP loan documents
• The Debtors and UMB Bank have entered into an Amendment to Secured Superpriority Debtor in Possession Financing Loan Documents dated July 24, 2026, for which the Debtors have sought court approval
  • As the sale order milestone approached, the Debtors and UMB negotiated a further extension that permits continued negotiations with bidders and presents an avenue for the Debtors to negotiate a potential consensual restructuring with UMB; the DIP loan documents had originally contemplated that the Debtors would solely pursue a sale
  • The DIP amendment is "notably narrow in scope," amending only certain portions of the DIP loan documents necessary to effectuate the potential restructuring pathway, and provides that "[t]he DIP Loan Documents shall continue to be valid and binding, except as amended" (DIP amendment, § 4 at 4)
  • The amendment provides the Debtors with continued access to liquidity to explore these alternative resolutions of the chapter 11 cases
  • The Debtors contend that the Final DIP Order does not require Committee consent or court approval to enter into the DIP amendment, and further contend that the Committee's stated concerns are unfounded or premature; the motion does not describe the substance of those concerns
• As of the week ending July 24, 2026, the Debtors had approximately $12.9 million of cash on hand, exceeding the amount anticipated in the approved budget attached to the DIP amendment by approximately $2 million
• The Debtors nonetheless anticipate drawing approximately $10 million in additional DIP loan proceeds in August and September, reflecting projected $5 million draws in the weeks ended Aug. 28, 2026, and Sept. 18, 2026
  • The Debtors anticipate these will be the last draws necessary on the DIP Facility, projecting receipts of supplemental Hospital Quality Assurance Fee payments in November and December sufficient to fund operations through the effective date of a plan
  • The Debtors state they cannot sustain operations to those supplemental receipt payments without the contemplated draws

• Cash Collateral includes the Hospital's revenues, accounts receivable, cash, and other assets (excluding certain real property), as defined in the Final Order

Fees

• Exit Fee: 3.0% of the DIP Commitment, fully earned and non-refundable upon entry of the Final DIP Order and payable on the DIP Termination Date
• The DIP Fees are approved on a final basis and are deemed to be allowed, fully earned, non-refundable, and payable in accordance with the terms of the DIP Term Sheet without the need for any further order of the Court

Carve Out

• The Winddown Expense Surcharge includes:
  • Allowed administrative expenses for fees payable to the Office of the U.S. Trustee pursuant to 28 USC §1930(a)(6) and for fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 156(c), in each case plus interest at the applicable statutory rate
  • Chapter 7 Trustee Fee: $25,000
  • All accrued but unpaid fees and expenses (excluding any restructuring, sale, success, or other transaction fee of any investment bankers or financial advisors) incurred by Estate Professionals at any time on or before the date of delivery by the DIP Lender of a Remedies Notice (the Pre-Remedies Notice Amount)

Use of Proceeds

• Pay working capital and maintenance capital expenditure requirements of the Debtors
• Pay administrative and operating expenses of the Debtors
• Pay reasonable fees and expenses of the DIP Lender and its professionals, provided that such fees and expenses shall be payable in kind and added to the principal amount of the DIP Loans and become DIP Obligations
• Neither the proceeds of the DIP Loans nor the Master Trustee's cash collateral shall be transferred to or used by any entity other than a Debtor, except as permitted by the Approved Budget, as approved by the Court, or as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet
• No portion of the DIP Loans or any cash collateral of the Master Trustee or the DIP Lender shall be used to assert any claim or cause of action against the DIP Lender, the Master Trustee, the Bondholders, or their advisors, agents and subagents, and/or challenging any claim or lien of the Master Trustee or the validity or enforceability of the Bond Documents; provided that any DIP Loans used to pay any counsel of and financial advisor to the Committee to investigate any of the foregoing shall not exceed $25,000.00 in the aggregate
• The approved budget attached to the July 24, 2026 DIP amendment projects use of DIP loan proceeds to, among other things, continue delivering critical patient care; maintain business relationships with affiliated physicians, vendors, suppliers, and payors; make payroll to over one thousand employees, including primary care providers, physicians, nurses, and other critical hospital staff; and satisfy other working capital and operational needs during the chapter 11 cases

• If the actual variances for such period are less than or equal to the applicable Permitted Variance, the amount by which the actual variances is less than the applicable Permitted Variance shall be carried forward to the next Measurement Period and added to the applicable Permitted Variance for such next Measurement Period; provided that such carryforward, if unused, shall not be permitted to be carried forward to the next two succeeding Measurement Periods
• The Debtor will deliver a weekly variance and compliance report by each Thursday at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, beginning on the 2nd Thursday following the Petition Date, showing the comparison of, and the variances between, actual performance to projections for each line item of the Approved Budget for each trailing four-week measurement period (or, solely in the case of the line item for HQAF receipts, each trailing eight-weeks)
• Failure to comply with the Permitted Variance relating to HQAF receipts shall not constitute an Event of Default, except with respect to HQAF Program VIII receipts to the extent such variance exceeds twenty-five percent (25%); for the avoidance of doubt, the budgeted amounts and any applicable variance relating to HQAF Program IX shall be determined at a later date by further agreement among the Debtors, DIP Lender and Committee or by further order of the Court

Milestones

• The Debtors agree to comply with the following Milestones:
  • The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Interim DIP Order on or before December 17, 2025
  • The Debtors shall have sought in the Cases the retention of Michael Lane as chief restructuring officer, or any other person(s) acceptable to the DIP Lender (the CRO), by the date that is no later than ten (10) days following the filing of the DIP Motion
  • By the date that is no later than ten (10) days following the filing of the DIP Motion, the Debtors shall have sought the retention of Cain Brothers, a division of KeyBanc Capital Markets, as investment banker
  • The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Final DIP Order by the date that is no later than February 20, 2026
  • The Debtors shall file, by the date that is no later than thirty (30) days after the Petition Date, a motion to approve bidding procedures and to sell all or substantially all of the Debtors' assets through a sale pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the DIP Lender
  • The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order approving the bidding procedures for the sale contemplated by the Sale Motion by the date that is no later than February 20, 2026
  • The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order approving the Sale by the date that is no later than June 12, 2026
  • The Sale shall be consummated by the date that is no later than December 31, 2026
  • An order confirming a liquidating chapter 11 plan shall have been entered by the Bankruptcy Court by the date that is no later than ninety (90) days after consummation of the Sale
• The DIP term sheet and Final DIP Order milestones generally required the Debtors to commit to a sale process for substantially all of their assets, and originally contemplated that the Debtors would solely pursue a sale
  • The Debtors were originally required to obtain entry of a sale order no later than May 15, 2026, which the Final DIP Order extended to June 12, 2026
  • The original bid procedures, approved by order entered Feb. 20, 2026 [Docket No. 490], contemplated a sale hearing on June 11, 2026, a day before the then-established sale order milestone, and reserved the Debtors' rights, in consultation with the consultation parties, "to modify these Bidding Procedures in any manner that will best promote the goals of the bidding process"
  • On May 30, 2026, the court entered a stipulated order [Docket No. 852] further extending the sale order milestone, and related bid procedures deadlines, to Aug. 14, 2026; per the underlying stipulation [Docket No. 851], the extension was sought because "Potential Bidders require additional time to conduct due diligence" and because extending the deadlines to accommodate those requests "will best promote the goals of the Bidding Procedures"
  • The Debtors engaged in negotiations with multiple interested parties and made material progress in negotiating a potential stalking horse bid, but the process again required the Debtors to exercise their discretion to further extend bid procedures deadlines to "best promote the goals of the bidding process" [Docket No. 857]; throughout this process the Debtors also maintained productive negotiations with UMB Bank
• The revised chapter 11 case deadlines under the July 24, 2026 DIP amendment are generally as follows (the Debtors note the summary of deadlines is provided for convenience only, and that the terms of the DIP amendment control to the extent of any conflict):
  • Aug. 14, 2026 — deadline for the Debtors to provide information specified in the DIP amendment
  • Aug. 28, 2026 — deadline for the Debtors to provide supplemental information
  • Sept. 11, 2026 — deadline for the Debtors to provide supplemental information
  • Oct. 16, 2026 — deadline for the parties to enter into a term sheet for a recapitalization and reorganization of the Debtors' assets and liabilities (the "Restructuring Term Sheet")
  • Oct. 30, 2026 — deadline for the Debtors to file a bid procedures motion that either (i) provides for an auction with a floor, if the parties enter into a Restructuring Term Sheet, based on the economics of the Restructuring Term Sheet, or (ii) provides for an auction with no floor
  • March 31, 2027 — deadline for the effective date of a plan implementing the winning bid, or 30 days after receipt of the regulatory approvals necessary to close such transaction, if later than March 31, 2027
• Extension of any milestone "is subject to the consent of the DIP Lender at its sole discretion or further Court order"
• The Debtors' failure to achieve any milestone, including the sale order milestone, would constitute an event of default under the DIP loan documents, which could result in acceleration of all DIP loan obligations and termination of the DIP loan, among other things
