 SECTION 2. HOLDERS 

A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each, a “Holder”) whenever such Person owns
Transfer Restricted Securities. 
 SECTION 3. REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER 

(a) The Company shall (i) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission on or prior to July 31,
2017 (such date being the “Filing Deadline”), (ii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the Exchange Offer Registration Statement declared effective on or prior to 90 days after the Filing Deadline (such date
being the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement Effectiveness Deadline”), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be
necessary in order to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement and (C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in
connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) unless the Exchange Offer shall not be
permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below have been complied with), upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange
Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Initial Notes and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the
Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as
contemplated by Section 3(c) below. 
 (b) The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement to be effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided,
however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event later than 30 days after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement Effectiveness
Deadline, unless a later date is required by the federal securities laws (such date, or such later date required by the federal securities laws, being the “Consummation Deadline”). 

(c) The Company shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes
acquired directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect
to such sales by such Broker-Dealers 

  
 4 








 
that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement. See the Shearman & Sterling no-action
letter (available July 2, 1993). 
 Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the
Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company shall permit the use of the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement; provided that such Broker-Dealer, in its reasonable judgment, determines that it is subject to such prospectus
delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, if requested by one or more Broker-Dealers, the Company
agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by, and subject to the provisions of, Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in
conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer is Consummated or such shorter
period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities held by such requesting Broker-Dealers covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such
Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon request, and in no event later than two Business Days after such request, at any time during such period. 

SECTION 4. SHELF REGISTRATION 
 (a)
Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company is not (A) required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (B) permitted to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or
Commission policy (after the Company has complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below) or (ii) any Holder notifies the Company prior to the 20th Business Day following Consummation of the Exchange Offer that
(A) such Holder, alone or together with Holders who hold in the aggregate at least $1.0 million in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities, was prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer,
(B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for
such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company, subject to the Suspension Rights set forth in Section 6(c)(i) below,
shall: 
 (x) use all commercially reasonable efforts on or prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Company
determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement will not be or cannot be, as the case may be, filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above and (ii) the date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above (30
days after such earlier date, the “Shelf Filing Deadline” provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shelf 

  
 5 








 
Filing Deadline shall be no earlier than the Filing Deadline), to file a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”)), covering resales by Holders of such Transfer Restricted Securities, and  

(y) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Act on or prior to
90 days after the Shelf Filing Deadline for the Shelf Registration Statement (such 90th day the “Shelf Effectiveness Deadline”).  

If, after the Company has filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the
Company is required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i)(B) above), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Company shall remain obligated to meet the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y) above. 

To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the
Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Shelf
Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) or 6(d)) following the Closing Date, or such shorter period
as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or are no longer Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company may include other securities in any Shelf
Registration Statement in connection with an exchange offer or exchange offers relating to such securities. 
 (b) Provision by Holders of
Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the
Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or
preliminary Prospectus included therein. No Holder shall be entitled to additional interest pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until (and from and after such time) such Holder shall have provided all such required information. Each selling
Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading and shall promptly supply such other information as the
Company may from time to time reasonably request.

 SECTION 5. ADDITIONAL INTEREST 

Subject to the Suspension Rights referred to in Section 6(c)(i) below, if (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement
is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline or the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline, as applicable, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline, as applicable, (iv) the Exchange Offer has not
been Consummated by the Consummation Deadline with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (v) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or
usable for its intended purpose (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (v), a “Registration Default”), then the Company hereby agrees to pay to each Holder affected thereby additional interest in an amount
equal to a per annum rate of 0.25% on the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder while the Registration Default continues for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default,
with such rate increasing by an additional per annum rate of 0.25% with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of additional interest for all Registration Defaults of
0.5% per annum of the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities; provided that the Company shall in no event be required to pay additional interest for more than one Registration Default at any given time. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of clause (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement in the case of clause (ii) above, (3) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, if applicable, in the case of clause (iii) above, (4) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case
of clause (iv) above, or (5) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf
Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the case of clause (v) above, the additional interest payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or
(v), as applicable, shall cease. All accrued additional interest shall be paid by the Company (or the Company will cause the Paying Agent to make such payment on their behalf) to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment
of interest in the Indenture, on the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture, the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes. All accrued additional interest shall be computed in the manner provided for the
computation of interest in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which additional interest are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Company to pay additional interest with respect to
securities that accrued prior to the time that such securities ceased to be Transfer Restricted Securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full. 

SECTION 6. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 

(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (x) comply with all applicable
provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of Exchange 

  
 7 








 Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for
its own account as a result of its market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions: 
 (i) If, following the date hereof there
has been announced a change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by
applicable federal law, the Company hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company hereby agrees to
pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take action not commercially reasonable to affect a change of Commission policy. In connection with the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees to take
all such other actions as may be requested by the Commission or otherwise required in connection with the issuance of such decision, including without limitation (A) participating in telephonic conferences with the Commission,
(B) delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursuing
a resolution (which need not be favorable and which need not be a written resolution) by the Commission staff. 
 (ii) As a
condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder (including, without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written
representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, or, if it is an Affiliate of the
Company, that such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act to the extent applicable, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any
person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and (D) only if such Holder is a Broker-Dealer that will receive
Exchange Notes in exchange for Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own private account as a result of market making or other trading activities, it will deliver a Prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any sale of such
Exchange Notes. As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by
such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in
Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2,
1993, and similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-action letter 

  
 8 








 
obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and
that such a secondary resale transaction 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. 

(iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall provide a supplemental letter to
the Commission (A) stating that the Company is registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co.,
Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above,
(B) including a representation that the Company has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s information
and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes received
in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable. 

(b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall: 

(i) comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such
registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b)
hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted
Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof, and 

(ii) issue to any Holder or purchaser of Initial Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this
Agreement, upon the request of any such Holder or purchaser, registered Initial Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes in the names as such Holder or purchaser shall designate. 

(c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the
Company shall: 
 (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and
provide all requisite financial statements for the 

  
 9 








 
period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein
(A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or
(B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to, or document that is incorporated by reference in, such
Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, curing such defect, and, if Commission review is required, use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective, if applicable, as soon as practicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may allow the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, at any time after Consummation of the Exchange Offer (if otherwise required to keep it effective), or the Shelf Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus to cease to remain effective and usable or may delay the filing or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement if not then filed or effective, as applicable (“Suspension Rights”), for one or more periods
of 90 days in aggregate in any twelve month period if (x) the board of directors of the Company (or a duly-appointed committee of the board of directors having power over the subject matter) determines in good faith that it is in the best
interests of the Company not to disclose the existence of or facts surrounding any proposed or pending material corporate transaction involving the Company, and the Company mails notification to the Holders within five Business Days after the board
of directors makes such determination, or (y) the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, contains an untrue statement of the material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the 180-day period referred to in Section 3(c) during which the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is required to be effective and usable or the two-year period referred to in Section 4(a) hereof during which the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be effective and usable shall be extended by the number of days
during which such Registration Statement was not effective or usable pursuant to the foregoing provisions (which such extension shall be the Holders’ sole remedy for the exercise by the Company of the Suspension Rights during the time period
permitted hereunder, but only to the extent that any suspension period does not violate the 90-day period set forth above). 

(ii) Subject to the Suspension Rights set forth in Section 6(c)(i) above, prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may be; cause the
Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply
with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth
in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 

  
 10 








 (iii) advise (a) each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been
included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) and (b) each Holder who has provided notice to the Company promptly and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the
Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by
the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the
preceding purposes, and (D) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto
or any document incorporated by reference therein do not contain an untrue statement of material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory
authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time; 
 (iv) subject to Section 6(d), if any fact or event
contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other
required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 (v) furnish to each Holder whose
Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement, if any, and each Initial Purchaser in connection with the Exchange Offer, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus
included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such Holders in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least
three Business Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus to which such Holders shall reasonably object within three Business Days
after the receipt thereof. The objection of a Holder, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a


  
 11 








 
material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made) not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act; 
 (vi) promptly prior to the
filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus in connection with such exchange, registration or sale, if any, provide copies of such document to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted
Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) in connection with such exchange, registration or sale, if any, make the Company’s representatives available for discussion of such
document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such Holders may reasonably request; 

(vii) make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been
included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents of the Company reasonably requested
and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness; provided that any Holder or representative thereof requesting or receiving such information shall agree to be bound by reasonable confidentiality agreements and procedures with
respect thereto; 
 (viii) if requested by any Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf
Registration Statement or a Broker-Dealer participating in an Exchange Offer, in connection with such exchange, registration or sale, promptly include in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment
if necessary, such information as such Holders may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities and the use of the
Registration Statement or Prospectus for market making activities; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be included in such
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (ix) furnish to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have
been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) in connection with such exchange, registration or sale, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the
Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference); 

(x) deliver to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the
case of a Shelf Registration Statement) 

  
 12 








 
without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holders reasonably may request; the Company hereby
consents to the use (in accordance with law and subject to Section 6(d) hereof and any Suspension Rights) of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder in connection with the offering and the sale of the
Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
 (xi) enter into such
agreements (including an underwriting agreement containing customary indemnification provisions by the Company), and make such representations and warranties, and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate
the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be customarily and reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or, in the case of registration
for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, by any Holder or Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who hold at least $25 million in aggregate principal amount of such class of Transfer Restricted
Securities; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to enter into any such agreement more than once with respect to all of the Transfer Restricted Securities and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, may delay entering
into such agreement if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Company not to disclose the existence of or facts surrounding any proposed or pending material corporate transaction
involving the Company. In such connection, the Company shall: 
 (A) upon the request of any Holder, furnish (or in the case
of paragraphs (2) and (3), use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be furnished) to each such Holder (in the case of the Shelf Registration Statement) and any underwriter, upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness
of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be: 
 (1) a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the
Company by (x) the Chief Executive Officer or any Vice President and (y) a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, confirming, as of the date thereof, such matters as such Holders may reasonably request; 

(2) an opinion, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the Company in customary form and covering such other matters as such Holder may reasonably request, and in any event including a statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in conferences
with officers and other representatives of the Company and representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and representatives of the underwriters, if any, and their counsel at which the contents of the Registration Statement
and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel need not pass upon or assume responsibility for the accuracy, 

  
 13 








 
completeness or fairness of such statements (relying as to materiality to the extent such counsel deems appropriate upon the statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and
without independent check or verification), no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that the applicable Registration Statement, at the time such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto became effective and, in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as of its date and, in the case of the opinion dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date
of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Such counsel may
state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included in any Registration Statement
contemplated by this Agreement or the related Prospectus and need express no view as to the accounting or financial records from which such financial statements, schedules and data are derived; and 

(3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, or as of the date of effectiveness of
the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with underwritten
offerings, and affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 8(q) of the Purchase Agreement; and 

(B) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance
with the matters covered in clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to this clause (xi); 

(xii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in
connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation
where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and 

  
 14 








 
transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject; 

(xiii) in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities that will result in such securities no longer being
Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such
Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations and such names as the selling Holders may request at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Transfer Restricted Securities; 

(xiv) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to
the proviso contained in clause (xii) above; 
 (xv) provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not
later than the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for
deposit with the Depository Trust Company; 
 (xvi) otherwise use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule
158 under the Act (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act); 

(xvii) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement
required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute
and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so
qualified in a timely manner; and 
 (xviii) provide promptly to each Holder, upon request, each document filed with the
Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 
 (d) Restrictions on Holders.
Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(c)(i) or 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section


  
 15 








 
6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in each case, a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the
applicable Registration Statement until (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of
the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the “Recommencement Date”). Each Holder receiving a
Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession which have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated Prospectuses or
(ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of
receipt of the Suspension Notice. The time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days in the period from
and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice to the Recommencement Date; provided, however, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing shall delay or otherwise
effect the date of the Filing Deadline or Consummation Deadline with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and commencing and Consummating the Exchange Offer as provided in Section 3. Each Holder, by acquisition of a Transfer
Restricted Security, further agrees to hold the fact that it has received any Suspension Notice, and any communication from the Company to the Holder relating to an event giving rise to a Suspension Notice, in confidence. 

SECTION 7. REGISTRATION EXPENSES 

(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of
whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws;
(iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company and one special counsel for all of the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being registered; and (v) all fees and
disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be
responsible for any underwriting discounts, commissions or fees attributable to the sale or other disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities. 

The Company will, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and
employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company. 

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and the Shelf 

  
 16 








 
Registration Statement), the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who are tendering Initial Notes in the Exchange Offer and/or selling
or reselling Initial Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not
more than one counsel, who shall be Latham & Watkins LLP, unless another firm shall be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being
prepared. 
 SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities whose Transfer Restricted
Securities are included in a Registration Statement, its affiliates, directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, (including without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus, Free Writing
Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or that arise out of or are
based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments arise
out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon information relating to any Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. 

(b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the other selling Holders and their respective
directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company and the other selling Holders to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company set forth in section (a) above, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In no event shall any
Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the sum of: (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities plus (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who
controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 

(c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or
8(b) (the “indemnified party”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought 

  
 17 








 
(the “indemnifying party”) in writing (provided, that the failure to notify the indemnifying person shall not relieve it from any liability that
it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the
indemnifying person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8) and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a
Holder shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall
be at the expense of the Holder). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified
party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party has been advised by such counsel that there may be
one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party), in any of which events such fees and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying person. In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and
all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any
action effected with the written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or
could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject matter
of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. 

(d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such


  
 18 








 
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company from the offering of the Notes and the
Exchange Notes, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on the other
hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
judgments referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action
or claim. 
 The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
amount received by such Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the sum of: (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities plus (ii) the
amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the
respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint. 
 The remedies provided for in
this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. 

The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
(i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or any Person controlling any Holder, or by or 

  
 19 








 
on behalf of the Company or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Notes and (iv) any sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. 
 SECTION 9. RULE 144A AND RULE 144 

The Company agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the
Company (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any
prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule
144A under the Act, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144. 

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 
 (a)
Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Company to comply with their respective obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for
which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to
specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

(b) Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents, warrants and covenants that it (including its agents and representatives) will not
prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with the issuance and sale of the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes, other than (i) any
communication pursuant to Rule 134, Rule 135 or Rule 135c under the Securities Act, (ii) any document constituting an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes that falls within the exception from
the definition of prospectus in Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Securities Act or (iii) a prospectus satisfying the requirements of section 10(a) of the Securities Act or of Rule 430, Rule 430A, Rule 430B, Rule 430C or Rule 431 under the
Securities Act. 
 (c) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any
agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof; provided that the Holders acknowledge and agree that the Company may
include other securities in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement in connection with an exchange offer or exchange offers relating to such securities, and can enter into agreements that permit the same. The
Company has not previously entered into, nor is currently a party to, any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any 

  
 20 








 
Person that would require such securities to be included in any Registration Statement filed hereunder. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not
inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
 (d)
Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof
and this Section 10(d)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written consent of
Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the
provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose Transfer
Restricted Securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to such Exchange Offer. 

(e) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the
one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder. 

(f) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery,
first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery: 

(i) if to a Holder, at the address set forth on the records of the Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy to the Registrar
under the Indenture; and

disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities in violation of the terms hereof or of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Transfer Restricted Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, such Transfer Restricted Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to
