 -6- 








 
Offer and (D) use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Exchange Offer within 300 days after the Issue Date, and issue Exchange Securities in
replacement for all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn in the Exchange Offer. Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Issuers shall commence the Exchange Offer. 
  
 (i) In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers
shall: 
  
 (A) mail as promptly as practicable
after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with, in the case of a Holder who holds
Securities held in physical certificated form, an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents and, in the case of a Holder who is the beneficial owner of such Securities held in book-entry form, instructions regarding the procedures for
automated delivery of such Securities pursuant to the Depositary’s Automated Tender Offer Program and related documents; 
  
 (B) keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for a period of not less than 20 Business Days after the date notice thereof is mailed to
the Holders (or longer if required by applicable law) (such period referred to herein as the “Exchange Period”); 
  
 (C) utilize the services of the Depositary for the Exchange Offer; 
  
 (D) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Transfer Restricted Securities at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New

will not retain any rights under this Agreement (except in the case of the Initial Purchasers and Participating Broker-Dealers as provided herein); and 
  
 (F) otherwise comply in all respects with all applicable laws relating to the Exchange Offer. 
  
 (ii) If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, the
Initial Purchasers hold any Transfer Restricted Securities acquired by them and having the status of an unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the Company, upon the request of any 

  

 -7- 








 
Initial Purchaser shall, to the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable policy of the SEC and to the extent the CUSIP Service Bureau will
issue the same CUSIP numbers (other than any letter, number or such other notation, the purpose of which is to identify the Private Exchange Securities as securities subject to transfer restrictions not applicable to the Exchange Securities),
request the CUSIP Service Bureau to issue the same CUSIP numbers for the Private Exchange Securities as for the Exchange Securities simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to such Initial
Purchaser in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company, guaranteed by the Guarantors, issued pursuant to, and entitled to the
benefits of, the Indenture and identical to, and representing the same continuing indebtedness as, the Exchange Securities, except that such securities shall be subject to and bear appropriate transfer restrictions (the “Private Exchange
Securities”). The Company shall not have any liability hereunder solely as a result of such Private Exchange Securities not bearing the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Securities. 
  
 (iii) The Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange
Securities shall be issued under (A) the Indenture or (B) an indenture identical in all material respects to the Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA or is exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the
Exchange Securities shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture or such indenture shall provide that the Exchange Securities, the Private Exchange Securities and the Securities shall vote and consent
together on all matters as one class and that none of the Exchange Securities, the Private Exchange Securities or the Securities shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. 
  
 (iv) The Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange shall not
be subject to any conditions, other than (A) that, in the opinion of counsel to the Issuers, the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as the case may be, does not violate applicable law or any applicable policy of the SEC, (B) that no action or
proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency which, in the Issuers’ reasonable judgment, might impair the ability of the Issuers to proceed with the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange nor
shall any material adverse development have occurred in any such action or proceeding with respect to the Issuers, (C) that all governmental approvals shall have been obtained which approvals the Issuers deem necessary for the consummation of the
Exchange Offer or Private Exchange and (D) the due tendering of Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer and/or the Private Exchange, as the case
may be, the Issuers shall: 
  
 (1) accept for
exchange all Transfer Restricted Securities properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the
letter of transmittal and related documents or automated delivery instructions and related documents, as the case may be, of which shall be exhibit thereto; and 
  


 -8- 








 (2) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Transfer
Restricted Securities so accepted for exchange by the Issuers, and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder, a new Exchange Security or Private Exchange Security, as the case may be, equal in principal amount
to the principal amount of the Securities surrendered by such Holder and accepted for exchange; provided, however that in the case of any Transfer Restricted Securities held in global form by a depository, authorization and delivery to such
depository of one or more Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities in global form in such amount shall satisfy such requirement. 
  
 (v) To the extent not prohibited by any law or applicable policy of the SEC, the Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to
complete the Exchange Offer as provided above, and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws in connection with the Exchange Offer. Each Holder of Securities who wishes to
exchange such Securities for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer will be required to make certain customary representations in connection therewith, including representations that (i) such Holder is not an affiliate of an Issuer within the
meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (ii) such Holder is not a broker-dealer tendering
Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Issuers for its own account, (iii) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (iv) that at the time of the commencement of the Exchange
Offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities and (v) such Holder has full power and authority to transfer the Transfer
Restricted Securities in exchange for the Exchange Securities and that the Issuers will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto (other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable law) and not subject to any adverse claims. Each
Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further represent that any Transfer Restricted Securities to be exchanged for Exchange Securities were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledge
that it will deliver the Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in connection with the resale of Exchange Securities to the extent it is subject to the 

  

 -9- 








 
prospectus delivery requirements of the SEC. The Company shall inform the Initial Purchasers of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange
Offer is made, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Securities in the Exchange Offer. 
  

(vi) Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Section 2(a), the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to
apply, modified as necessary, solely with respect to Transfer Restricted Securities that are Private Exchange Securities, Exchange Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers and Transfer Restricted Securities entitled to a Shelf Registration
pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 2(b) hereof. 
  
 (vii) Any distribution in Canada of Exchange Securities will be effected solely to holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who would be eligible to acquire Exchange Securities pursuant to exemptions from the
requirement under Canadian Securities Laws that the Issuers prepare and file a prospectus with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities and, as a condition to the tender of their Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange
Offer, holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in Canada will be required to make certain representations to the Issuers, including a representation that they are entitled under applicable provincial securities laws to acquire the Exchange
Securities without the benefit of a prospectus qualified under applicable provincial securities laws. 
  
 (b) Shelf Registration. In the event that (A) filing the Exchange Offer Registration Statement would not be permitted by applicable law or SEC
policy, (B) the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 300 days after the Issue Date or (C) any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities notifies the Company within 20 Business Days after the commencement of the Exchange Offer that (1) due to a
change in applicable law or SEC policy it is not entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer, (2) due to a change in applicable law or SEC policy it may not resell the Exchange Securities to be 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 (3) it is a broker-dealer and owns Transfer Restricted Securities acquired
directly from an Issuer or an affiliate of an Issuer or (D) the Holders of a majority of the Securities may not resell the Exchange Securities to be acquired by them in the Exchange Offer to the public without restriction under the Securities Act
and without restriction under applicable blue sky or state securities laws (any of the events specified in (A)-(D) being a “Shelf Registration Event”), then the Issuers shall, at their cost, use their reasonable best efforts to file
prior to the later of (1) 300 days after the Issue Date or (2) 60 days after such filing obligation arises, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 90 days
after such Shelf Registration Statement was filed with the SEC; provided, however, that if the Company has 

  

 -10- 








 
not consummated the Exchange Offer within 300 days of the Issue Date, then the Issuers will use their reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC on or
prior to the 360th day after the Issue Date a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the Transfer Restricted Securities, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement
declared effective by the SEC no later than 60 days after such Shelf Registration Statement was first filed with the SEC; provided further that to the extent a Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed pursuant to clause (B) and the
Exchange Offer is subsequently completed, upon completion of the Exchange Offer, the Issuers will no longer be required to file, make effective or continue the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement except as may be required by clauses
(A), (C), or (D). No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing such
information as the Issuers may, after conferring with counsel with regard to information relating to Holders that would be required by the SEC to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, reasonably request for
inclusion in any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein (it being understood that no Additional Interest shall be payable to such Holder until such Holder provides such information). Each Holder as to which any Shelf
Registration is being effected agrees to furnish to the Company all information with respect to such Holder necessary to make any information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. 
  
 (i) The Issuers agree to use their reasonable best efforts
to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the second anniversary of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement (subject to extension pursuant to the last two paragraphs of Section 3 hereof) (or such shorter
period that will terminate when all of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or cease to be outstanding or otherwise cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities) (the
“Effectiveness Period”). The Company further agrees, if necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the
Issuers for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registrations, and the Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities copies of any such
supplement or amendment (or, with respect to documents incorporated by reference, to make available) promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC. 
  
 (c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof. Each
Holder shall pay all expenses of its counsel (other than as set forth otherwise in this Agreement), all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or 

  

 -11- 








 
disposition of such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 (d) Effective Registration Statement. An Exchange Offer Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if, after
it has been declared effective, the offering of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the
SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have been effective during the period of such interference, until the offering of Transfer Restricted Securities may legally resume. The Issuers will be
deemed not to have used their best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite period if they voluntarily take any action
that would result in any such Registration Statement not being declared effective or in the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such Transfer Restricted Securities during that
period, unless such action is required by, or advisable under, applicable law. 
  
 (e) Additional Interest. 
  
 (i) In the event that (A) the applicable Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the date specified herein for such filing, (B) the applicable Registration Statement is not declared effective
by the SEC on or prior to the date specified herein for such effectiveness, (C) the Exchange Offer is required to be consummated hereunder and the Issuers fail to consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to the date specified for such
effectiveness, or (D) the applicable Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or usable in connection with the Exchange Offer or resales of Transfer Restricted Securities, as the case may be,
during the periods specified herein (as a result of an order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or otherwise) without being immediately succeeded by an additional Registration Statement covering the Transfer Restricted
Securities which has been filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (A) through (D), a “Registration Default”), then the Issuers shall pay, jointly and severally, additional interest to each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities as to which such Registration Default relates (“Additional Interest”), with respect to the first 90-day period (or portion thereof) while a Registration Default is continuing immediately following the
occurrence of such Registration Default, in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the affected Transfer Restricted Securities of such Holder. The amount of Additional Interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum of
the principal 

  

 -12- 








 
amount of the affected Transfer Restricted Securities of such Holder for each subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof) while a Registration Default is
continuing until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to an aggregate maximum amount of 1.00% per annum of the principal amount of the affected Transfer Restricted Securities of such Holder. Additional Interest shall be computed based on
the actual number of days elapsed during which any such Registration Default exists. Immediately following the cure or other termination of all outstanding Registration Defaults, the accrual of Additional Interest will cease and no more Additional
Interest will be due or payable to any Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the amount of Additional Interest payable shall not increase because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is pending and (2) a Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities that is not entitled to the benefits of the Shelf Registration Statement (e.g., such Holder has not elected to include information) shall not be entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default that
pertains to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 (ii) The Company shall notify the Trustee within five Business Days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event Date”). Additional Interest
shall be paid in arrears by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities, on or before the applicable semiannual interest payment date, immediately available funds in sums sufficient to pay
the Additional Interest then due. The Additional Interest due shall be payable in arrears on each interest payment date set forth in the Indenture to the record Holder of Securities entitled to receive the interest payment to be paid on such date as
set forth in the Indenture. Each obligation to pay Additional Interest shall be deemed to accrue from, and including the day following, the applicable Event Date. 
  
 (iii) A Registration Default referred to in Section 2(e)(i)(D) shall be deemed not to have occurred and be
continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement if the Company has determined to suspend to the use of a Shelf Registration Statement for the following reasons: (1) its board of directors determines, in good faith, a bona fide business
purpose exists or is pending which makes such suspension necessary, or (2) the disclosure otherwise relates to a material business transaction which has not been publicly disclosed and its board of directors determines, in good faith, that any such
disclosure would jeopardize the success of the transaction or that disclosure of the transaction is prohibited pursuant to terms thereof; provided that if such Registration Default occurs for a period of more than 60 days in any calendar year,
Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with this Section 2(e) from the 61st day after such suspension occurs until such suspension is terminated or until the Company is no longer required pursuant to this Agreement to keep such
Registration Statement or related prospectus usable. In addition, Additional Interest shall not be 

  

 -13- 








 
payable in respect of a Registration Default if the Company has not exceeded the time periods set forth in Section 2(b). 
  
 (f) Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies available to
the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Issuers acknowledge that any failure by the Issuers to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) 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 would 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 Issuers’ obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof. 
  
 3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the obligations of the Issuers with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to Sections 2(a)
and 2(b) hereof, the Issuers shall: 
  
 (a) prepare and file with
the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements as prescribed by Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof within the relevant time period specified in Section 2 hereof on the appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (i) shall be
selected by the Company, (ii) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities by the selling Holders thereof and (iii) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements
of the applicable form and include or incorporate by reference all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective in
accordance with Section 2 hereof; 
  
 (b) prepare and file with
the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary under applicable law to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be;
and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, and comply in all material respects with
the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by each Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period or
the Applicable Period, as the case may be, in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof described in this Agreement (including sales by any Participating Broker-Dealer); 
  
 (c) in the case of a Shelf Registration, (i) furnish to each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the disposition of the Transfer
Restricted Securities; and (ii) subject to the last paragraph of Section 3 hereof, hereby consent to the use of the 

  

 -14- 








 
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with the offering and sale
of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
  
 (d) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, as may be required by applicable law, the Transfer
Restricted Securities under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC as any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered
by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in advance of such date of effectiveness, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such
jurisdiction of such Transfer Restricted Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject, (iii) make any changes to its constituent
documents or by-laws or any agreement between it and/or its subsidiaries and its shareholders or (iv) file a prospectus in any province or territory of Canada to make the Transfer Restricted Securities freely tradeable in Canada; 
  
 (e) in the case of (i) a Shelf Registration or (ii) Participating Broker
Dealers who have notified the Company that they will be utilizing the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement as provided in Section 3(r) hereof, notify each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, or such Participating
Broker-Dealers, as the case may be, their counsel, if any, promptly and confirm such notice in writing (if such notice was not originally given in writing) (A) when a Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments
and supplements thereto become effective, (B) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement has
become effective, (C) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) if any of the Issuers receives
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (E)
of the happening of any event or the failure of any event to occur or the discovery of any facts or otherwise during the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be, which makes any statement made in such Registration Statement
or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which causes such Registration Statement or Prospectus to omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading and (F) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate; 
  

 -15- 








 (f) use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable; 
  
 (g) in the
case of a Shelf Registration, if requested, furnish to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement relating to such Shelf Registration and any post-effective amendment

 (h) in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive legends representing Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration to be sold and relating to the subsequent transfer of such Securities; and cause such Securities to be in
such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) and registered in such names as the selling Holders may reasonably request at least three Business Days prior to the closing of any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities;

  
 (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration or an Exchange Offer
Registration, upon the occurrence of any circumstance contemplated by Section 3(e)(E) hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the subject Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any
document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that (subject to Section 3(a)), as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Transfer Restricted Securities to whom a Prospectus is being delivered by a
Participating Broker-Dealer who has notified the Company that it will be utilizing the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement as provided in Section 3(a) hereof, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to notify each Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as applicable, to
suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event; 
  
 (j) obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or, if issued, Private Exchange Securities (with respect to the Private Exchange Securities, subject
to the provisions of the last two sentences of Section 2(a)(iv) hereof), as the case may be, not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement, and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for the Exchange Securities or the Private
Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with the Depositary; 
  
 (k) (i) cause the Indenture or the indenture provided in Section 2(a) to be qualified under United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), in connection with the registration of

execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture or such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 
  
 (l) in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into underwriting agreements,
agency agreements or similar agreements, as appropriate, and take all such other customary and appropriate actions in connection therewith as are reasonably requested by the Majority Holders in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
Transfer Restricted Securities, and in such connection, (i) make such representations and warranties to Holders of such Transfer Restricted Securities and the underwriters (if any) with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as
then conducted and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and confirm
the same if and when requested by the Majority Holders; (ii) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, obtain opinions of counsel to the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, addressed to each of the
underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriters; (iii) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, obtain “cold
comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent chartered accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent chartered accountants or certified public accountants, as the case may be, 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 the Company and each of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary
form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings and similar to the comfort letter provided pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and (iv) if an underwriting
agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures substantially identical to those set forth in Section 4 hereof (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to the Company and the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriters) with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section (including, without limitation,
such selling Holders and such underwriters). The above shall be done at each closing in respect of the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities, or as and to the extent required thereunder; 
  
 (m) if a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 2(b), make available for the period specified in Section 2(b)(i)
for inspection by not more than one counsel for all selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities and each such person who would be an “underwriter” as a result of the sale by such person of the Transfer Restricted Securities of any
such Holder and any attorney or accountant retained by any such underwriters (collectively, the “Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business 

  

 -17- 








 
hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
“Records”), and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Issuers to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement and, in each case as shall
be reasonably necessary, in the judgment of the respective counsel referred to above, to enable them to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act. Records which the Company determines, in good faith,
to be confidential and any Records which they notify the Inspectors are confidential shall be maintained in confidence and shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors to any other Person until such time as (1) the disclosure of such Records is required
to be set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or in an amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to such prospectus in order that such Shelf Registration Statement,
prospectus, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing (in which case the subject information may only be disclosed to another Person following such time as the Shelf Registration Statement in which such information is included is publicly filed by the Company with the
SEC), (2) such Person shall be legally compelled to disclose such information pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction (but only after such Person shall have given the Issuers prior written notice of such
requirement) or (3) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public. Each such Inspector will be required to agree to keep information obtained by it as a result of its inspections pursuant to this Agreement
confidential and not to use such information as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Inspector will be required to further agree that it will,
upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought under (1) above, give notice to the Company and allow the Company at its expense to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential; 
  
 (n) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC so long as
the provisions of this Agreement are applicable and make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated
under the Securities Act) no later than 180 days after the end of the first fiscal year following the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effective date of any Shelf Registration Statement; 
  
 (o) upon the request of any Holder, upon consummation of an Exchange Offer or
a Private Exchange, obtain a customary opinion of counsel to the Issuers addressed to the Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities participating in the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, and
which includes an opinion that (i) the Issuers have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Exchange Securities and 

  

 -18- 








 
Private Exchange Securities and (ii) each of the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, constitute a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Issuers, enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with its respective terms (in each case, with customary exceptions); 
  
 (p) if an Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon proper delivery of Transfer Restricted Securities by Holders to the Company (or
to such other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or cause to be marked, on such Transfer Exchange Securities and on the books of
the Trustee, the Note Registrar (as defined in the Indenture) and, if necessary, the Depositary, delivered by such Holders that such Transfer Restricted Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
Securities, as the case may be; but in no event shall such Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied solely as a result of being exchanged for Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer or the Private
Exchange, as the case may be; 
  
 (q) cooperate with each seller
of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Registration Statement participating in the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities and one counsel acting on behalf of all such sellers in connection with the filings, if any, required to
be made with the NASD; 
  
 (r) use its reasonable best efforts to
effect the registration of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby and to comply with any requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws, rules, regulations and policies (“Canadian
Securities Laws”) in respect of the registration and exchange of Transfer Restricted Securities under the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as
a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(r), (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject, (iii) make any changes to its constituent documents or by-laws or any agreement between it and/or its subsidiaries and its shareholders or (iv) file a prospectus in any province or territory of Canada to make the Transfer Restricted
Securities or Exchange Securities freely tradeable in Canada; and 
  
 (s) in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (A) include in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” which section shall be reasonably acceptable to the Representative,
and which shall contain a summary statement of the positions publicly taken or policies made public by the staff of the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer (a “Participating
Broker-Dealer”) that holds Transfer Restricted Securities acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that will be the beneficial 

  

 -19- 








 
owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Securities to be received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer, including a
statement that any such Participating Broker-Dealer who receives Exchange Securities for Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be deemed a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of
the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities, (B) furnish to each Participating Broker-Dealer who has delivered to the Company the notice referred to in Section 3(e), without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus
included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as such Participating Broker-Dealer may reasonably request, (C) hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus forming
part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Participating Broker-Dealers in connection with the sale or transfer of the Exchange Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, (D) use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein in order to permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by Participating
Broker-Dealers for such period of time as such Participating Broker-Dealers must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that such period shall not be required to exceed the earlier
of (i) 180 days from the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement was first declared effective by the SEC (or such longer period if extended pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3 hereof) and (ii) such time after the Exchange Offer is
completed as the Company reasonably believes that there are no Participating Broker-Dealers owning Exchange Securities but not earlier than 90 days (the “Applicable Period”), and (E) include in the transmittal letter or similar
documentation to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to participate in the Exchange Offer (1) a provision substantially similar to the following: 
  
 “If the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding Securities acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of Exchange Securities received in respect of such Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer”; 
  
 and (2) a statement to the effect that by a broker-dealer making the acknowledgment described
in clause (1) and by delivering a Prospectus in connection with the resale of Exchange Securities, such broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
  
 The Company may require each seller of Transfer Restricted Securities as to
which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such seller and the proposed distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. The
Company may exclude from such registration the Transfer Restricted Securities of any seller who fails to furnish such information 

  

 -20- 








 
within a reasonable time (not to exceed 15 Business Days) after receiving such request and shall be under no obligation to compensate any such seller for any
lost income, interest or other opportunity forgone, or any liability incurred, as a result of the Company’s decision to exclude such seller (it being understood that no Additional Interest shall be payable to such Holder until such Holder
provides such information). 
  
 In the case of (i) a Shelf
Registration Statement or (ii) Participating Broker-Dealers who have notified the Company that they will be utilizing the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement as provided in Section 3(s) hereof that are seeking to sell
Exchange Securities and are required to deliver Prospectuses, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e)(B), 3(e)(C), 3(e)(D), 3(e)(E) or 3(e)(F) hereof,
such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s or
Participating Broker-Dealer’s, as the case may be, receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use
of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, 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 or Participating Broker-Dealer’s, as the case may be,
possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s, as the case may be, possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be,
current at the time of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject to Section 2(e)(iii), upon notice to the Holders, the Company may suspend use of the Prospectus included in any Shelf Registration Statement
in the event that (1) its board of directors determines, in good faith, a bona fide business purpose exists or is pending which makes such suspension necessary, or (2) the disclosure otherwise relates to a material business transaction which has not
been publicly disclosed and its board of directors determines, in good faith, that any such disclosure would jeopardize the success of the transaction or that disclosure of the transaction is prohibited pursuant to terms thereof. 
  
 If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of
Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall, if applicable, use its reasonable best efforts to file and have declared effective (if an amendment) as soon as
practicable an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and, in the case of an amendment, have such amendment declared effective as soon as practicable and shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be
maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days in the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Company shall have made available to the Holders or Participating
Broker-Dealers, as the case may be, (A) copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions or (B) the Advice (or such shorter period that will terminate when 

  

 -21- 








 
all of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or cease to be outstanding or
otherwise cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities). 
  
 4.
Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each of the Issuers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each Holder, each Participating Broker-Dealer, each underwriter who participates in an offering of
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, their respective affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls any of such parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, as follows: 
  
 (i) against any and all
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, joint or several, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement
thereto), pursuant to which Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus provided by the Company to any Holder or any
prospective purchaser of Exchange Securities or Transfer Restricted Securities (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any “wrapped” version thereof used in connection with the offering of the Exchange Securities in Canada under
Canadian Securities Laws, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
  
 (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any
such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 4(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the prior written consent of the Company; and 
  
 (iii) against any and all expenses whatsoever, as incurred
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) chosen as provided in Section 4(c) below) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or
proceeding by any court or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged 

  

 -22- 








 
untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 4(a); 
  
 provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Initial
Purchasers, such Holder, such Participating Broker-Dealer or any underwriter with respect to such Initial Purchasers, Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or underwriter, as the case may be, expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, further, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to losses, liabilities, claims, damages, or expenses resulting from an untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in a preliminary prospectus in any Shelf Registration Statement shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder (or to the benefit of any underwriter with respect to such Holder or to the benefit of
any person controlling such Holder or underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities purchased Transfer Restricted Securities if (i) such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in such preliminary prospectus was eliminated or remedied in the final Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto to such Holder or underwriter prior to
confirmation for the sale of such Transfer Restricted Securities to such person by such Holder or underwriter) and (ii) a copy of the final Prospectus (as so amended and supplemented) was not furnished to such person at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of such Transfer Restricted Securities to such person, unless such failure to deliver was a result of non-compliance by the Company with Section 3(c). 
  
 (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, the Initial Purchasers, and
the other selling Holders and each of their respective directors and each Person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers, the Initial Purchasers, any underwriter or any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever described in the indemnity contained in Section 4(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue
statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by
or on behalf of such selling Holder with respect to such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any supplement thereto), or any such Prospectus (or any amendment thereto); provided, however, that, in the case of the
Shelf Registration Statement, no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

  

 -23- 








 (c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying
party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially
prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 4(a) above, counsel to all the
indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 4(b) above, counsel to all the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Issuer. An indemnifying party may participate at its
own expense in the defense of any such action, in which case, counsel to such indemnifying party may also be counsel to the indemnified party; provided, however, that, if such indemnified party at any time determines in its reasonable
judgment that (i) there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party or (ii) there are legal defenses available to the indemnified party that would not be available to the indemnifying
party, then, counsel to the indemnifying party shall not be (or shall cease to be, as applicable) counsel to the indemnified party. For further clarification, should the indemnifying party participate in the defense of such action under the
circumstances set forth in the proviso of the preceding sentence, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party against any and all expenses described in subsection (a)(iii) above. If it so elects within a reasonable time after
receipt of notice of such action, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties defendant (including
any impleaded parties) in such action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided,
however, that, if such indemnified party at any time determines in its reasonable judgment that (i) there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party or (ii) there are legal
defenses available to the indemnified party that would not be available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense. If such indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of such
action as a result of the proviso to the preceding sentence, then counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party and, for further clarification, the
indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party against any and all expenses described in subsection (a)(iii) above. If any indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and
expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from
their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions arising out 

  

 -24- 








 
of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or
contribution could be sought under this Section 4 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from
all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim 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 any indemnified party. 
  
 (d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying
party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel incurred by such indemnified party as contemplated under this Section 4, then such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice
of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii) effected without its consent if such indemnifying party (i) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request to the extent the indemnifying party, in its good faith judgment,
considers such requests to be reasonable and (ii) provides written notice to the indemnified party substantiating the unpaid balance as unreasonable, in each case prior to the date of such settlement. 
  
 (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances
under which any of the indemnity provisions set forth in this Section 4 is for any reason held to be unavailable to the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Issuers and the Holders, as applicable, shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Issuers and the Holders; provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. As between the Issuers and the Holders, such parties shall
contribute to such aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and the
Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Participating Broker-Dealer or Initial Purchasers, as the case may be, on the 

  

 -25- 








 
other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. 
  
 (i) The
relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Participating Broker-Dealer or the Initial Purchasers, as the case may be, 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 Issuers, or by the Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, the
Participating Broker-Dealer or the Initial Purchasers, as the case may be, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no
Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price (without deduction for any underwriter’s commission, discount or other fee) at which the Securities sold by it under the Shelf Registration
Statement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 
  
 (iii) The Issuers and the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities and the Initial Purchasers agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
Section 4. 
  
 (iv) For purposes of this Section
4, each affiliate of any Person, if any, who controls a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Initial Purchasers or a Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each director of the Company, each affiliate of an Issuer, each executive officer of an Issuer who signed the Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuers within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers. 
  
 5. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees
to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting 

  

 26 








 
arrangements. The Issuers shall be under no obligation to compensate or pay any Holder for lost income, interest (including any Additional Interest) or other
opportunity foregone, or other liability incurred, as a result of the Issuers’ decision to exclude such Holder from any underwritten registration if such Holder has not complied with the provisions of this Section 5 in all material respects
following 15 Business Days’ written notice of non-compliance and the Issuers’ decision to exclude such Holder. 
  
 6. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may
sell the securities covered by such Shelf Registration in an underwritten offering. In any such underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that such underwriters and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

  
 7. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) No Prospectus in Canada. For greater certainty, the parties hereto
acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Issuers to file a prospectus or other offering document in Canada in respect of the Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration or to entitle Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities resident in Canada to obtain, upon the Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration, securities which are “free trading” in Canada under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. 
  
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The rights granted to the Holders
hereunder do not, and will not for the term of this Agreement in any way conflict with and are not, and will not during the term of this Agreement be inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Issuers other issued and outstanding
securities under any other agreements entered into by the Issuers. 
  
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
otherwise than with the prior written consent of the Issuers and the Majority Holders; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, or supplement or waiver or consent to the departure with respect to the provisions of Section 4
hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or the Issuers unless consented to in writing by such Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or the Issuers, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect, directly or indirectly, the rights of other
Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of the 

  

 -27- 








 
outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to such Exchange Offer. 
  
 (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by
hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, facsimile, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (A) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 7(d), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (B) if to any Issuer, to the Company, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase
Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(d), and to CSC as contemplated by Section 7(j) hereof. 
  
 (i) All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by
hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is confirmed, if sent by facsimile; and on the next Business Day, if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery. 
  
 (ii) Copies of all such
notices, demands, or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture. 
  
 (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns
and transferees of the Company and the Initial Purchasers, including, without limitation, and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders. 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 perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. 
  
 (f) Third Party Beneficiary. Each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary of the agreements made hereunder between
the Issuers, 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 it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders
hereunder. 
  
 (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  

 -28-

limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 
  
 (i) GOVERNING
LAW SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION AND TIME. THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE EXCHANGE NOTES AND THE PRIVATE EXCHANGE NOTES, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE ISSUERS HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND NEW YORK STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTERS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR DOCUMENT BY REGISTERED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH ISSUER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST SUCH ISSUER FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT

 (j) Agent for Service of Process and
Waiver of Immunities. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Issuers (i) acknowledge that they have designated and appointed Corporation Service Company, a Delaware corporation (“CSC”) (and any successor entity thereto)
as their authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities that may be instituted in any federal or
state court in the State of New York or brought under federal or state securities laws, and acknowledges that CSC has accepted such designation, (ii) submit to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit or proceeding, and (iii) agree that
service of process upon CSC and written notice of said service to an Issuer in accordance with Section 12 shall be deemed effective service of process upon an Issuer in any such suit or proceeding. The Issuers further agree to take any reasonable
action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of CSC in full force and effect so long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding;
provided, however, that the Issuers may, by written notice to the Initial Purchasers, designate such additional or alternative agent for service of process under this Section 7(j) that (i) maintains an office located in the Borough of
Manhattan, City of New 

  

 -29- 








 
York in the State of New York and (ii) is either (x) counsel for the Issuers or (y) a corporate service company which acts as agent for service of process
for other persons in the ordinary course of its business. Such written notice shall identify the name of such agent for process and the address of the office of such agent for process in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New
York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall, at all times, be at least one agent for service of process for the Company appointed and acting in accordance with this Section 7(j). 
  
 (k) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein
shall not be affected or impaired thereby. 
  
 (l) Securities
Held by the Company or Any of Its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Transfer Restricted Securities is required hereunder, Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Issuers or any affiliate of
an Issuer (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 
  
 (m) Judgment Currency. The Company agrees to indemnify each Initial
Purchaser, each Holder, each Participating Broker-Dealer, each underwriter who participates in an offering of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and each of their respective affiliates and each Person, if any,
who controls such parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any loss incurred by such party as a result of any judgment or order being given or made against the Company for any United
States dollar amount due under this Agreement and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of
exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in The City of New York at which such party on the date of payment of such
judgment or order purchases United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such party if such party had utilized such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase United States dollars as promptly as practicable upon
such party’s receipt thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent agreement and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “spot rate of
exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, United States dollars.
