 (e) Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Registered Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes (x) could not under Commission policy as in effect on
the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (pub. avail. May 13, 1988) and Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (pub. avail. June 5, 1991), as interpreted in the
Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993 and similar no-action letters, and (y) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with any secondary resale
transaction, and any secondary resale transactions by such Holder must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder and plan of distribution information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of
Regulation S-K under the Act if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for New Notes acquired by such Holder directly from the Company or one of its Affiliates. Accordingly, each Holder participating in the Registered
Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that, at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer: 
 (i) any Exchange Notes received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business;

Act, otherwise designate an existing filing with the Commission, and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective, within 120 days after so required or requested, under the Act a Shelf Registration Statement
relating to the offer and sale of the New Notes by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Holder
shall be entitled to have the New Notes held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder; and 

  

 6 








 
provided further that with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement required pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 3(a), the consummation of a
Registered Exchange Offer shall relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 3(b) but only in respect of its obligations under such clause (ii) of Section 3(a). 
 (ii) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and
amended as required by the Act, in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period of two years from the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission or such shorter period
that will terminate when all the New Notes or Exchange Notes, as applicable, covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or are freely tradeable pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities
Act and the applicable interpretations of the Commission (in any such case, such period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement effective during the Shelf Registration Period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of New Notes covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such New Notes during the Shelf Registration Period, unless
(A) such action is required by applicable law or (B) such action is taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or
divestiture of assets, so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with the requirements of Section 4(k) hereof, if applicable. 
 (iii) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration
Statement or such amendment or supplement, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of the date thereof, (A) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission; and
(B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
 4. Additional Registration
Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement and, to the extent applicable, any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the following provisions shall apply. 
 (a) The Company shall: 
 (i)
furnish to you, not less than three Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any Shelf Registration Statement, and each amendment thereof and each amendment or supplement,

confirm such advice in writing (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) below shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Company shall have remedied the basis for such suspension): 
 (i) when a Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto, any Prospectus Supplement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to a Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information;

of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement thereto, the Prospectus, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and 
 (vi) when any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes information that may conflict with the information contained in the Registration
Statement. 
 Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of any of the events listed in this Section 4(c), each Holder will, upon request
by the Company in writing, immediately discontinue disposition of New Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(k)
or until it is advised in writing by the Company that use of the applicable Prospectus may resume, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies in such Holder’s
possession, other than permanent file copies, of the Prospectus covering such New Notes or Exchange Notes that was current at the time of receipt of such notice.

 (e) The
Company shall furnish to each Holder of New Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, at least one copy of such Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including all material incorporated

to any Registration Statement, the Company shall arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the New Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder shall reasonably request and shall
maintain such qualification in effect so long as required; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to (i) qualify to do business or as a broker or dealer of securities in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified,
(ii) take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the Initial Exchange Offer, the Registered Exchange Offer or any offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction if it is not already so subject.

pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and to notify each Holder to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and each Holder hereby agrees to suspend use of the Prospectus
until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission. In such circumstances, the period of effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 2 and the Shelf

Statement the New Notes of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 
 (p)
The Company shall, if requested, use its reasonable best efforts to incorporate promptly in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement such information as a Holder may reasonably provide from time to time
to the Company in writing for inclusion in a Prospectus or any Shelf Registration Statement concerning such Holder and the distribution of such Holder’s New Notes and shall make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.

public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are
required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to you, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in 

  

 13 








 
connection with primary underwritten offerings, or if requested by you or your counsel in lieu of a “comfort” letter, an agreed-upon procedures
letter under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 35, covering matters requested by you or your counsel; and 
 (vi)
deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by you or your counsel, including those to evidence compliance with Section 4(k) and with conditions customarily contained in underwriting agreements. 
 The actions set forth in the foregoing subclauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) shall be performed at (A) the close of the Registered Exchange Offer and
(B) the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
 (t) If a Registered Exchange
Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of the New Notes by Holders to the Company (or to such other person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange Notes, the Company shall mark, or cause to be marked, on the New Notes so
exchanged that such New Notes are being cancelled in exchange for the Exchange Notes. In no event shall the New Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
 (u) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts if the New Notes have been rated prior to the Settlement Date, to confirm such ratings will apply to the New Notes or the Exchange Notes. 
 (v) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, if any Broker-Dealer shall underwrite any New Notes or participate as a member of an underwriting
syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Rules of Fair Practice and the By-Laws of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.) thereof, whether as a Holder of such New Notes or as an
underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist such Broker-Dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules and By-Laws. 

5. Additional Interest 
 (a) The
parties hereto acknowledge that the Holders of New Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, will suffer damages if the Company fails to perform its obligations under Section 2 or 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the
extent of such damages. Accordingly, in the event that: 
 (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been filed on
or prior to the 90th day following the Settlement Date; 
 (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the 180th day following the Settlement Date; 
 (iii) neither the Exchange Offer has been completed nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective on or prior to the 210th day following the Settlement Date; 
  

 14 








 (iv) the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the
45th day following the request or requirement therefore pursuant to section 3(b) hereof; 
 (v) after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective, such Registration Statement ceases to be effective or
usable in connection with the Registered Exchange Offer or resales of the New Notes prior to the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer; or 
 (vi) after the Shelf Registration Statement, if applicable, has been declared effective, but ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of the New Notes for a period of time that exceeds 60 days in
aggregate in any 12-month period in which it is required to be effective under this Agreement; 
 (each such event referred to in the foregoing clauses
(i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), then additional interest (“Additional Interest”) will accrue on the principal amount of the New Notes and the Exchange Notes, respectively (in addition to the stated interest on
the New Notes and the Exchange Notes), from and including the date on which any Registration Default first occurs and while any such Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, to but excluding the date on which all filings, declarations of
effectiveness and consummations, as the case may be, have been achieved which, if achieved on a timely basis, would have prevented the occurrence of all of the then existing Registration Defaults. Additional Interest will accrue at a rate of
0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following such first occurrence of a Registration Default and while any such Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each
subsequent 90-day period up to a maximum of 0.50% per annum with respect to all Registration Defaults, until the date on which all of the filings, declarations of effectiveness and consummations referred to in the preceding sentence have been
achieved, on which date the interest rate on the New Notes and the Exchange Notes, respectively, will revert to the interest rate originally borne by such notes. 
 (b) The Company shall notify the Trustee or the Exchange Notes Trustee, as applicable, immediately upon its knowledge of the happening of each and every Registration Default. The Company shall pay the Additional
Interest due on the New Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, by depositing with the Trustee or the Exchange Notes Trustee, as applicable, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders thereof, prior to 11:00 A.M. on the next interest payment date
specified in the Indenture or the Exchange Notes Indenture, as applicable, sums sufficient to pay the Additional Interest then due. The Additional Interest due shall be payable on each interest payment date specified by the Indenture or the Exchange
Notes Indenture, as applicable, to the record holders entitled to receive the interest payment to be made on such date. 
 (c) The parties
hereto agree that the Additional Interest provided for in this Section 5 constitutes a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by Holders of New Notes or Exchange Notes by reason of the happening of any Registration Default.

  

 15 








 (d) All of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Section 5 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement. 
 6. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its
obligations under Sections 2, 3, and 4 hereof and, in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement, shall reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel (which shall initially be Cleary Gottlieb
Steen & Hamilton LLP, but which may be another nationally recognized law firm experienced in securities matters designated by the Majority Holders) to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith, and, in the case of any Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, will reimburse the Dealer Managers for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel acting in connection therewith. 
 7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of New Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, covered by any Registration Statement (including
each Dealer Manager and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer), the directors, officers, employees and agents of each such Holder and each person who controls you or any such
Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state
statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus approved by the Company, any preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and provided further, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that a Holder fails to deliver, at or prior to the written confirmation of sale, the most recent Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if such Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, had
been previously furnished by or on behalf of the Company to such Holder and corrected such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact and the delivery thereof by such Holder was required by law or any
rule or regulation of any applicable stock exchange. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. 
 The Company also agrees to indemnify as provided in this Section 7(a) or contribute as provided in Section 7(d) hereof to Losses of each underwriter of New Notes, registered under a Shelf Registration
Statement, its directors, officers, employees or agents and 

  

 16 








 
each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the selling Holders provided in this
Section 7(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 4(p) hereof. 
 (b) Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including each Dealer Manager and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer),
severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors and officers who signs such Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act, to the same extent as the indemnity in Section 7(a) from the Company to each such Holder, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such control persons may become subject under
the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to
any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 or
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the
indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or
(b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which
indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified
party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of legal expenses of any indemnified party in
connection 

  

 17 








 
with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any
local counsel) for all such indemnified parties. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
(including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such
counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party. An indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. 
 (d) In the event
that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several
obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified
party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Exchange Offer and the Registration
Statement which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall any Dealer Manager or any Holder of any New Note or Exchange Note be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the Fee applicable to such New Note, or
in the case of an Exchange Note, applicable to the New Note that was exchangeable into such Exchange Note, in connection with the Initial Exchange Offer as set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any
amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the New Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, purchased by such underwriter under the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided
by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of
such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the
Company shall be deemed to be equal to (x) the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes exchanged in the Initial Exchange Offer (before deducting expenses), plus (y) the total amount of Additional Interest which the Company was not
required to pay as a result of registering the New Notes or Exchange Notes covered by the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses, 

  

 18 








 
minus (z) the aggregate amount of Fees paid by the Company in connection with the Initial Exchange Offer under the Dealer Manager Agreement. Benefits
received by the Dealer Managers shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate amount of Fees received by the Dealer Managers in connection with the Initial Exchange Offer under the Dealer Manager Agreement, and benefits received by any Holders shall
be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving New Notes or Exchange Notes, as applicable, registered under the Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth
on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity
for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the
Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

 (e) The provisions of this Section 7 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in this Section 7, and shall survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement. 
 8. Underwritten Registrations. (a) If any of the New Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Majority Holders. 
 (b) No Holder may participate in any underwritten offering
pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s New Notes on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangements, and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 9. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall the Company, on or after the date hereof, enter
into, any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 
  

 19 








 10. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this
sentence, may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders (or, after the
consummation of any Registered Exchange Offer in accordance with Section 2 hereof, the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes); provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects
the rights of any Dealer Manager hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Dealer Manager against which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect
the rights of other Holders may alternatively be given by the Majority Holders of the New Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, being sold rather than registered under such Registration Statement. 
 11. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail,
telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery: 
 (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such Holder maintained by the Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy in like manner to you;

 (b) if to you, initially at the address set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement; and 
 (c) if to the Company, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement. 
 All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received. 
 Each party hereto by notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses of such party for subsequent notices or communications.

 12. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties,
including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders of New Notes and Exchange Notes. The Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of New Notes and
Exchange Notes, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by
the Company of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  

 20 








 14. Headings. The headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof. 
 15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this agreement.

 16. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any
circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or
affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 17. Securities Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of New Notes or Exchange Notes is required hereunder, New Notes or Exchange
Notes, as applicable, held by the Company or any of its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of New Notes or Exchange Notes if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such New Notes or Exchange
Notes) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

 ANNEX A 
 Each Broker-Dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.
The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for New Notes where such New Notes were acquired by such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities. The Company has agreed that, starting on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) and ending on the close of business one year after the Expiration Date, they will make this Prospectus available to any Broker-Dealer for use in
connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” 
  

 23 








 ANNEX B 
 Each Broker-Dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for New Notes, where such New Notes were acquired by such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.” 
  

 24 








 ANNEX C 
 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Each Broker-Dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant
to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be
used by a Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for New Notes where such New Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, starting on
the Expiration Date and ending on the close of business one year after the Expiration Date, they will make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
[                    ,         ,] all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Notes may be required to
deliver a prospectus. 
 The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers. Exchange Notes received
by Broker-Dealers for their own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange
Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers
or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such Broker-Dealer and/or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any Broker-Dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own
account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and any profit of any such resale of
Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act. 
 For a period of one year
after the Expiration Date, the Company shall promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any Broker-Dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed
to pay all expenses incident to the Registered Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the New Notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the New Notes
(including any Broker-Dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act. 
 [If applicable, add information required
by Items 507 and 508 of Regulation S-K.]

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Please be advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with regard to all of the Notes referenced above. Accordingly, there is
no longer any restriction as to whom such Notes may be sold and any restrictions on the CUSIP designation are no longer appropriate and may be removed. I understand that upon receipt of this letter, DTC will remove any stop or restriction on its
system with respect to this issue. 
 As always, please do not hesitate to call if we can be of further assistance. 
 Very truly yours,
