to be dated as of October 1, 2015 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Initial Guarantors referred to below,
and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Company’s monetary obligations under

guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis (the “Guarantees”) (a) from and after the Closing
Date (as defined below), by the guarantors named on Exhibit B(I) hereto (the “Initial Guarantors”), and (b)
from and after the Supplemental Indenture Date (as defined below), by the guarantors named on Exhibit B(II) hereto (the “Acquired

or “Guarantors” shall mean (x) the Initial Guarantors prior to the Supplemental Indenture Date and (y) the Initial
Guarantors and the Acquired Company Guarantors on and immediately after the Supplemental Indenture Date, (ii) the term “subsidiary”

The Company has entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 27, 2015, as amended and supplemented from time to time (including all exhibits,
schedules and attachments thereto, the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which Beacon Leadership Acquisition
I, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will merge with and into CDRR Investors, Inc. (the “First Merger”),
with CDRR Investors, Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, followed by a merger
of CDRR Investors, Inc. with and into Beacon Leadership Acquisition II, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Second
Merger”, and, together with the First Merger, the “Acquisition”), with Beacon Leadership Acquisition
II, LLC continuing as the surviving limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company expects
to finance the Acquisition with (i) the cash proceeds from the sale of Securities under this Agreement and (ii) borrowings (the
“Borrowings”) under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as such term is defined in the Offering Memorandum).
As used herein, the term “Acquired Company” means CDRR Investors, Inc. and its successors and assigns including,
after the consummation of the Acquisition, Beacon Leadership Acquisition II, LLC.


 


Within two business
days after the consummation of the Acquisition, the Acquired Company Guarantors will enter into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental
Indenture”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, pursuant to which the Acquired Company Guarantors
will irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s monetary obligations under the Securities, jointly and severally
with respect to themselves and the Initial Guarantors (the time and date such Supplemental Indenture is entered into and delivered
by the parties being herein called the “Supplemental Indenture Date”). On the Supplemental Indenture Date, the
Acquired Company Guarantors will also enter into a joinder agreement to this Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit C (the “Purchase Agreement Joinder”), pursuant to which they will acknowledge and agree to (i) join
and become a party to this Agreement; (ii) be bound by all covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and acknowledgements
attributable to an Acquired Company Guarantor in this Agreement, as if made by, and with respect to, each Acquired Company Guarantor
on the date hereof; and (iii) perform all obligations and duties required of an Acquired Company Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement.


 


The Securities will
be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers without registration under the 1933 Act, in reliance on the exemption provided by
Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act. The Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated September 18, 2015 (the “Preliminary
Offering Memorandum”), a pricing term sheet substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Pricing
Term Sheet”) setting forth the terms of the Securities omitted from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and an offering
memorandum, dated September 24, 2015 (the “Offering Memorandum”), setting forth information regarding the Company
and the Securities. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as supplemented and amended as of the Applicable Time, together with the

Company and the Initial Guarantors hereby confirm that they have authorized the use of the General Disclosure Package and the Offering
Memorandum in connection with the offering and resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers.

13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, General Disclosure Package or the
Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, and prior to such specified date and incorporated by reference therein. All such documents
filed under the 1934 Act and so incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, General Disclosure Package or
the Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto, are hereinafter called the “Exchange
Act Reports.”


 


You have advised the

subsequent transferees) of the Securities will have the benefit of the registration rights set forth in the registration rights
agreement attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) among the Company, the Initial
Guarantors and the Representatives to be dated the Closing Date. On the Supplemental Indenture Date, the Acquired Company Guarantors

Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors party thereto will agree to file with

(a)          Securities
Law Compliance. The Company will (i) advise each Initial Purchaser promptly after obtaining knowledge (and, if requested by
any Initial Purchaser, confirm such advice in writing) of (A) the issuance by any U.S. or non-U.S. federal or state securities
commission of any stop order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Securities for offer or
sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose by any U.S. or non-U.S. federal or state securities
commission or other regulatory authority, or (B) the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in
the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Document or the Offering Memorandum, untrue or that requires the making
of any additions to or changes in the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Document or the Offering Memorandum,
in each case to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii)
use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or exemption from
qualification of any of the Securities under any securities or “Blue Sky” laws of U.S. state or non-U.S. jurisdictions,
and (iii) if, at any time, any U.S. or non-U.S. federal or state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue
an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Securities under any such laws, use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.

for the Initial Purchasers shall reasonably object in a timely manner. The Company will give the Representatives notice of its
intention to make any filing pursuant to the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations effecting any such amendment, supplement or revision
from and after the Applicable Time through the Closing Date (or, if later, through the completion of the distribution of the Securities
by the Initial Purchasers to Eligible Purchasers) and will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable
amount of time prior to such proposed filing, and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel
for the Initial Purchasers shall reasonably object. The Representatives shall notify the Company if the Initial Purchasers have
not completed the distribution of the Securities as of the Closing Date.


 


(c)          Delivery
of Disclosure Documents to the Representatives. The Company will deliver to the Representatives and counsel for the
Initial Purchasers, within two days after the date hereof and without charge, such number of copies of the Preliminary Offering

is necessary) to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum (or, in each case, any documents
incorporated by reference therein) so that the General Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, will
not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, not misleading, or if it is necessary
(or, if the Representatives or counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall notify the Company that, in their reasonable judgment,
it is necessary) to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum (or, in each case, any documents
incorporated by reference therein) in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934
Act or the 1934 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives of such event or condition and of its intention
to prepare such amendment or supplement (or, if the Representatives or counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have notified the
Company as aforesaid, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives of its intention to prepare such amendment or supplement)

untrue statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Initial Purchasers such number
of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request. If at any time an event shall occur
or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary (or if the Representatives or counsel for the Initial Purchasers
shall notify the Company that, in their reasonable judgment, it is necessary) to amend or supplement any Issuer Free Writing Document
so that it will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, not misleading, or if
it is necessary (or, if the Representatives or counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall notify the Company that, in their reasonable
judgment, it is necessary) to amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Document in order to comply with the requirements of
the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives
of such event or condition and of its intention to prepare such amendment or supplement (or, if the Representatives or counsel
for the Initial Purchasers shall have notified the Company as aforesaid, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives of
its intention to prepare such amendment or supplement) and will promptly prepare and, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, distribute
such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission or to comply with such
requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Initial Purchasers such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the
Initial Purchasers may reasonably request.


 


(e)          Use
of Offering Materials. The Company and each of the Guarantors consents to the use of the General Disclosure Package and the
Offering Memorandum in accordance with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Securities
are offered by the Initial Purchasers and by all dealers to whom Securities may be sold, in connection with the offering and sale
of the Securities.


 




     20


     


    

 


(f)          “Blue
Sky” and Other Qualifications. The Company will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers to qualify the Securities
for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Securities to be offered and sold, under the applicable securities laws
of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Representatives may designate and to maintain such qualifications
and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or
as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing
business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been so
qualified or exempt, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue
such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Securities.


 


(g)          Use
of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities and the Borrowings in the
manner specified in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum under “Use of Proceeds.”


 


(h)          Restriction
on Sale of Securities. From and including the date of this Agreement through and including the 90th day after
the date of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives,
directly or indirectly issue, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option
or contract to sell, grant any option or right to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any debt securities of or guaranteed
by the Company or any Guarantor (other than the Securities issued under this Agreement and the Exchange Notes (and related Exchange
Guarantees) issued in the Exchange Offer) or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any debt
securities of or guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor.


 


(i)          Rule
144A Information. So long as any of the Securities are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning
of Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act, the Company and the Guarantors will furnish, at their expense, to the Initial Purchasers
and, upon request, to the holders of the Securities and prospective purchasers of the Securities the information required by Rule
144A(d)(4) under the 1933 Act (if any). To the extent any such information is available on the Commission’s EDGAR filing
system or the Company’s website, it shall be deemed to have been so furnished in full satisfaction of this Section 3(i).


 


(j)          Pricing
Term Sheet. The Company will prepare the Pricing Term Sheet reflecting the final terms of the Securities, in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives. The Company
will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such Pricing Term Sheet and will not use any such Pricing Term Sheet to which
the Representatives or counsel to the Initial Purchasers shall object.


 




     21


     


    

 


(k)          Preparation
of the Offering Memorandum. As promptly as practicable, and in any event, within two business days following the execution
of this Agreement, the Company will, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, prepare the Offering Memorandum, which shall contain
the public offering price and terms of the Securities, the plan of distribution thereof and such other information as the Representatives
and the Company may deem appropriate.


 


(l)          DTC.
The Company will use their best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.


 


(m)         No
Stabilization. The Company, the Guarantors and their respective controlled affiliates will not take, directly or indirectly,
any action designed to or that has constituted or that reasonably could be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or
manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or the Guarantors in connection with the offering of the Securities.


 


(n)          No
Affiliate Resales. The Company and the Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their respective controlled affiliates
to, resell any of the Securities that have been acquired by any of them, except for Securities purchased by the Company, the Guarantors
or any of their respective affiliates and resold in a transaction registered under the 1933 Act.


 


(o)          No
Integration. The Company will not, and will ensure that no affiliate of the Company will, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers
to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in the 1933 Act) that would be integrated with
the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the 1933 Act of the sale to the Initial Purchaser
or to the Eligible Purchasers of the Securities.


 


(p)          Opinion
of Counsel for Company and the Guarantors. On the Supplemental Indenture Date, the Company will cause Sidley Austin LLP, counsel
for the Company and the Guarantors (“Company Counsel”), to deliver to the Representatives the opinion, dated
as of the Supplemental Indenture Date, in the form set forth in Exhibit G-2 hereto, together with signed or reproduced copies
of such opinion for each of the other Initial Purchasers; provided that, if the Supplemental Indenture Date is the Closing Date,
the substance of such opinion letter may be included within the opinion letter delivered pursuant to Section 5(a), in which case
this Section 3(p) shall immediately cease to have any force or effect.


 




     22

and graphics and the production and hosting of any electronic road shows, and 50% of the costs and expenses related to any chartered

Purchasers shall pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their counsel.


 


(b)          Termination

Section 9(a)(i), Section 9(a)(iii)(A) or Section 10 hereof, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse
the Initial Purchasers (but in the case of any termination in accordance with Section 10, only the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers)
for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers.

of Initial Purchasers’ Obligations. The obligations of the several Initial Purchasers hereunder are subject to the accuracy

Downgrade. There shall not have occurred, on or after the date of this Agreement, any downgrading in the rating of any
debt securities of or guaranteed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical

any such organization has placed its rating on the Company or any such debt securities under surveillance or review or on a so-called
“watch list” (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of

SECTION 6.  Indemnification.


 


(a)          Indemnification
by the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and each Guarantor agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold
harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners and members and each person,
if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934
Act as follows:


 


(i)          against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Document, the General
Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or in any materials, presentations
or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company or any Guarantor in connection with the marketing
of the offering of the Securities, including any road show or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether
in person or electronically), 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;


 




     25


     


    

 


(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, or pursuant to a judgment or other disposition in, any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental or
self-regulatory agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever arising out of or based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below)
any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company and the Guarantors; and


 


(iii)        against
any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental or self-regulatory agency
or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or
any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,


 


provided, however, that this
indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of or based upon
any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company or any Guarantor by any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Document, the General Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum (or in any amendment
or supplement to any of the foregoing), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Initial
Purchasers as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.


 


(b)          Indemnification
by the Initial Purchasers. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and the Guarantors, their respective officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage
and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 6, as incurred, but only with
respect to any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue statements or omissions,
or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Document or the
Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company or any Guarantor by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein. The
Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by the
Initial Purchasers through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing
Document or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), consists exclusively of the following
information appearing under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering
Memorandum: the information appearing in the third paragraph, the fourth and fifth sentences of the seventh paragraph and the first
and last sentences of the ninth paragraph, each under such caption.


 




     26


     


    

 


(c)          Actions
Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each
indemnifying party of any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to so notify
an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under this Section 6, except
to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section
6 that the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such
proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded based on the advice
of outside counsel that there are legal defenses available to it that may be different from or in addition to those available to
the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party, and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Initial Purchasers and the other indemnified
parties referred to in Section 6(a) above; and the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel)
separate from their own counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, their respective directors, each of their respective officers
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out 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 6 or Section 7 hereof (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, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such 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.


 




     27


     


    

 


(d)          Settlement
Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party
to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 6, such indemnifying party
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(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.


 


SECTION 7.  Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying
party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified
party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and
the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to
this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Initial Purchasers, on the 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.


 


The relative benefits
received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with
the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total
net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
and the Guarantors and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers, in each case as determined pursuant
to this Agreement, bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum.


 


The relative fault
of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, or by the Initial
Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission.


 


The Company and the
Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by
any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7.
The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above
in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.


 




     28


     


    

 


Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 7, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
the net proceeds from the sale to Eligible Purchasers of the Securities initially purchased by it exceed the amount of any damages
which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


 


For purposes of this
Section 7, each affiliate, officer, director, employee, partner and member of each Initial Purchaser and each person,
if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934
Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company and of each Guarantor,
each officer of the Company and of each Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.
The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to
the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Exhibit A hereto and not joint.


 


SECTION 8. Representations,
Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement
or in certificates signed by any officer of the Company or any of the Guarantors (whether signed on behalf of such officer, the
Company or such Guarantor) and delivered to the Representatives or counsel to the Initial Purchasers, shall remain operative and
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates and any
of its or their officers, directors, employees, partners, members or agents or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser, or
by or on behalf of the Company, any Guarantor, any officer, director or employee of the Company or any Guarantor or any person
controlling the Company, any Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.


 


SECTION 9.  Termination
of Agreement.


 


(a)          Termination;
General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the Guarantors, at any time
on or prior to the Closing Date (i) if there has been, at any time on or after the date of this Agreement or since the date
of the most recent financial statements of the Company and the Acquired Company included in the General Disclosure Package and
the Offering Memorandum (in each case exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement),
any material adverse change, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in business,
properties, financial position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising
in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in
the United States or the international financial markets, any declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States,
any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective
change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions (including as a result of terrorist activities),
in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) (A) if
trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Select
Market, or (B) if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended or
limited by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or (C) if a material
disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe
or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b)          Liabilities.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such termination shall be without liability of any party to
any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and except that Sections 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19

SECTION
10. Default by One or More of the Initial Purchasers.


 


If one or more of
the Initial Purchasers shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the aggregate principal amount of Securities which it or they
are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have
the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or
any other purchaser, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon
and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour
period, then:


 


(i)          if
the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities, each
of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount of such Defaulted
Securities in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of
all non-defaulting Initial Purchasers; or


 


(ii)         if
the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities, this Agreement shall terminate
without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser.


 


No action taken pursuant
to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of its default.


 


In the event of any
such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the Representatives shall have the right to postpone the
Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the General Disclosure Package or
Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes
any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section 10.

forum.

        fact that the Notes initially will settle T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent

not later than the close of business on the last Exchange Date, by (A) sending to the institution and at the address specified
in the notice, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities
delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities exchanged or (B) effecting
such withdrawal in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for the Registrable Securities.



 


As a condition to participating in the Exchange
Offer, a Holder will be required to represent to the Company and the Guarantors that (1) any Exchange Securities to be received
by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (2) 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 in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (3) it is not an “affiliate” (within
the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company or any Guarantor, (4) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that
it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities, and (5) if such Holder is
a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired
as a result of market-making or other trading activities, such Holder will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by
law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.


 


As soon as practicable after the last Exchange
Date, the Company and the Guarantors shall:


 


		(I)	accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions
thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and



 




    H-7


     


    

 


		(II)	deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation
all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly
authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable
Securities tendered by such Holder; provided that if any of the Registrable Securities are in book-entry form, the Company
shall, in cooperation with the Trustee, effect the exchange of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable book-entry
procedures.



 


The Company and the Guarantors shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall use reasonable best efforts to
comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection
with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not
violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff and that no action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened
in any court or by or before any governmental agency relating to the Exchange Offer which, in the Company’s judgment, could
reasonably be expected to impair the Company’s ability to proceed with the Exchange Offer.


 


(b)          In
the event that (i) the Company and the Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a)
hereof is not available or the Exchange Offer may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because
it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason
completed by the Target Registration Date or (iii) upon receipt of a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from
any Initial Purchaser representing that it holds Registrable Securities that are or were ineligible to be exchanged in the Exchange
Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after
such determination, date or Shelf Request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the
Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement
become effective; provided that (x) no Holder will be entitled to have any Registrable Securities included in any Shelf
Registration Statement, or entitled to use the prospectus forming a part of such Shelf Registration Statement, until such Holder
shall have delivered a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire and provided such other information regarding such Holder
to the Company as is contemplated by Section 3(b) hereof and, if necessary, the Shelf Registration Statement has been amended
to reflect such information, and (y) in no event shall the Company or the Guarantors be under any obligation to file any such Shelf
Registration Statement before they are obligated to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof.


 


In the event that the Company and the Guarantors
are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company and the Guarantors
shall use their reasonable best efforts to file, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to have become effective,
both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof with respect to all Registrable Securities and
a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement)
with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange Offer.


 




    H-8


     


    

 


The Company and the Guarantors agree to
use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date on which
the Securities covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company
and the Guarantors further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement,
the related Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and
regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested by a Participating Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information
relating to such Holder, and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required,
and such Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to become usable as soon as thereafter
practicable. The Company and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Participating Holders copies of any such supplement or amendment
promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC, as reasonably requested by the Participating Holders.


 


(c)          The
Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a)
or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer
taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement.


 


(d)          An
Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it
has been declared effective by the SEC. 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 or is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC
as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act.


 


If a Registration Default occurs, the interest
rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period beginning on the day immediately
following such Registration Default and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each
case until and including the date such Registration Default ends, up to a maximum increase of 1.00% per annum. A Registration Default
ends with respect to any Security when such Security ceases to be a Registrable Security or, if earlier, (1) in the case of
a Registration Default under clause (i) of the definition thereof, when the Exchange Offer is completed, (2) in the case of
a Registration Default under clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement
becomes effective, or (3) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (iv) or clause (v) of the definition
thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable. If at any time more
than one Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, then, until the next date that there is no Registration Default,
the increase in interest rate provided for by this paragraph shall apply as if there occurred a single Registration Default that
begins on the date that the earliest such Registration Default occurred and ends on such next date that there is no Registration
Default.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, if the Exchange Offer is consummated, any Holder who was, at the time the Exchange Offer was pending and consummated,
eligible to exchange, and withdrew or failed to validly tender its Securities in the Exchange Offer, will not be entitled to receive
any additional interest pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and such Securities will no longer constitute Registrable Securities
hereunder.


 




    H-9


     


    

 


(e)          The Company and the Guarantors shall
be entitled to suspend their obligation to file any amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish any supplement or amendment
to a Prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement or any Free Writing Prospectus, make any other filing with the SEC that
would be incorporated by reference into a Shelf Registration Statement, cause a Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective
or the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus usable or take any similar action (collectively, “Suspension Actions”),
for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of 60 consecutive days or more than two times during any 12-month period (each,
a “Suspension Period”), if there is a possible acquisition, disposition or business combination or other transaction,
business development or event involving the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries that would require disclosure
to be included or incorporated by reference in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (and disclosure would not be required
to be made at such time but for the use of such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus) and the Company determines in the exercise
of its reasonable judgment (and not for the purpose of avoidance of its obligations hereunder) that such disclosure is not in the
best interest of the Company and its stockholders or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the
Company or its business or the Company’s ability to effect a planned or proposed acquisition, disposition, business combination
or other similar transaction. Upon the occurrence of any of the conditions described in the foregoing sentence, the Company shall
give prompt notice of the delay or suspension (but not the basis thereof) to the Participating Holders. Upon the termination of
such condition, the Company shall promptly proceed with all Suspension Actions that were delayed or suspended and, if required,
shall give prompt notice to the Participating Holders of the cessation of the delay or suspension (but not the basis thereof).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to pay additional interest (and no
additional interest shall accrue) pursuant to Section 2(d) in the case of a Registration Default under clauses (ii)-(v) of the
definition thereof during a Suspension Period, and no such Suspension Period shall count against the periods and occasions set
forth in clauses (iv) and (v) of such definition.


 


(f)          Without
limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any
failure by the Company or the Guarantors 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 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 seek such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Guarantors’
obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.


 


3.          Registration
Procedures. (a) In connection with their obligations pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company
and the Guarantors shall as promptly as reasonably practicable:


 


(i)          prepare
and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (A) shall be selected
by the Company and the Guarantors, (B) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable
Securities by the Participating Holders thereof and (C) 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 their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for
the applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof;


 




    H-10


     


    

 


(ii)         prepare

such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof and cause each Prospectus
to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities
Act; and use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep each Prospectus current during the period described in Section 4(a)(3)
of and Rule 174 under the Securities Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to the Registrable
Securities or Exchange Securities;


 


(iii)        to
the extent any Free Writing Prospectus is used, file with the SEC any Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed by the
Company or the Guarantors with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act and to retain a copy of any Free Writing Prospectus
not required to be filed;


 


(iv)        in
the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Participating Holder, to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to counsel for such
Participating Holders and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as
many copies of each Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto (other
than, unless specifically requested and not publicly available via the SEC’s EDGAR filing system, any document that amends
or supplements any Prospectus or preliminary prospectus because it is incorporated by reference therein), as such Participating
Holder, counsel or Underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
thereunder; and, subject to Section 3(c) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors consent to the use of such Prospectus, preliminary
prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the
Participating Holders and any such Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered
by and in the manner described in such Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto in accordance with applicable law;


 


(v)         use
their commercially reasonable efforts to (1) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities
or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as any Participating Holder shall reasonably request in writing by
the time the applicable Registration Statement becomes effective; (2) cooperate with such Participating Holders in connection with
any filings required to be made with FINRA; and (3) do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable
to enable each Participating Holder to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by
such Participating Holder; provided that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to (A) qualify as a foreign
corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so
qualify, (B) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction if it is not already so subject;


 




    H-11


     


    

 


(vi)        notify
counsel for the Initial Purchasers and, in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Participating Holder and counsel for such
Participating Holders promptly and, if requested by any such Participating Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing (1)
when a Registration Statement has become effective, when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective,
when any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus
has been filed, (2) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration
Statement, Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement has become
effective, (3) 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, including the receipt by the Company of any notice
of objection of the SEC to the use of a Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2)
under the Securities Act, (4) if, between the applicable effective date of a Shelf Registration Statement and the closing of any
sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company or any Guarantor contained in
any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such Registrable
Securities cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Company or any Guarantor receives any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any U.S. jurisdiction or the initiation
of any proceeding for such purpose, (5) of the happening of any event during the period a Registration Statement is effective that,
in the reasonable judgment of the Company, makes any statement of a material fact made in such Registration Statement or the related
Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (6) of any determination
by the Company or any Guarantor that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus would be appropriate;


 


(vii)       use
their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement
or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the resolution of any objection of the SEC pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities
Act, including by filing an amendment to such Registration Statement on the proper form, as soon as reasonably practicable and
provide prompt notice to each Holder or Participating Holder of the withdrawal of any such order or such resolution;


 


(viii)      in
the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Participating Holder, without charge, upon request, at least one conformed copy
of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without any documents incorporated therein by reference
or exhibits thereto, unless requested and such documents are not publicly available via the SEC’s EDGAR filing system);


 




    H-12


     


    

 


(ix)         in
the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the Participating Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable
Securities to be issued in such denominations and, in the case of certificated securities, registered in such names (consistent
with the provisions of the Indenture) as such Participating Holders may reasonably request at least one Business Day prior to the
closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;


 


(x)          upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, use their reasonable best efforts to prepare and file
with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any
other required document so that, as thereafter delivered (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available) to purchasers of
the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, 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 the Company and the Guarantors shall notify the Participating Holders (in the case
of a Shelf Registration Statement) and the Initial Purchasers and any Participating Broker-Dealers known to the Company (in the
case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to suspend use of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus (but may exclude
the basis for the suspension) as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and such Participating Holders,
such Participating Broker-Dealers and the Initial Purchasers, as applicable, hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus or any
Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, until the Company and the Guarantors have amended or supplemented the Prospectus or
the Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to correct such misstatement or omission;


 


(xi)         a
reasonable time prior to the filing of any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus, any amendment to
a Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus or of any document that is to
be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement, a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus after initial filing of a
Registration Statement, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf
Registration Statement, to the Participating Holders and their counsel) and make such of the representatives of the Company and
the Guarantors as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration
Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) available for discussion of such document; and the Company and the Guarantors
shall not, at any time after initial filing of a Registration Statement, use or file any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus,
any amendment of or supplement to a Registration Statement or a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus, or any document that is
to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement, a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus, of which the Initial
Purchasers and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders and their counsel)
shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy or to which the Initial Purchasers or their counsel (and, in the case
of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably object within two Business Days
after the receipt thereof, unless the Company believes in good faith that use or filing of such Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus,
or any amendment of or supplement to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any document that is to
be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement, a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus is required by applicable
law. This clause (xi) shall not apply to any filing by the Company or the Guarantors of any Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to matters unrelated to the Exchange Offer or the Registrable Securities
and the offering thereof or exchange therefor;


 




    H-13


     


    

 


(xii)        obtain
a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not later than the initial effective
date of a Registration Statement;


 


(xiii)       cause
the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the registration of the Exchange Securities or Registrable
Securities, as the case may be; cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required
for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and execute, and use their commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to 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 to be so qualified in a timely manner;


 


(xiv)      in
the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection by a representative of the Participating Holders (an “Inspector”),
any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, any one firm of attorneys and one
firm of accountants designated by a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by the Participating
Holders to be covered by such Shelf Registration and one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants designated by such Underwriter,
at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of the Company
and its subsidiaries reasonably requested by any such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant, and cause the respective
officers, directors and employees of the Company and the Guarantors to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement; provided that, if any
such information is identified by the Company or any Guarantor as being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such
information shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information to the extent
such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of any Inspector,
Holder or Underwriter;


 


(xv)       in
the case of a Shelf Registration, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered thereby
to be listed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar debt securities issued or guaranteed
by the Company or any Guarantor are then listed if requested by Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of such
Registrable Securities, to the extent such Registrable Securities satisfy applicable listing requirements;


 


(xvi)      if
reasonably requested by any Participating Holder, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information with respect to such Participating Holder as such Participating Holder reasonably requests to be included therein,
based on a reasonable belief that such information is required to be included therein or is necessary to make the information about
such Participating Holder therein not misleading, and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective
amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be so included in such
filing;


 




    H-14


     


    

 


(xvii)     in the
case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including
those requested by the Participating Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities including, but not limited
to, an Underwritten Offering and in connection with any such Underwritten Offering, (1) to the extent possible, make such representations
and warranties to the Underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries
and the Registration Statement, Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated
by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten
offerings and consistent with the applicable representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement and confirm the same if and
when requested; provided that the Participating Holders’ representations and warranties shall be of the substance
and scope as are customarily made by selling securityholders to underwriters and issuers in underwritten offerings, (2) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (which opinions, in form, scope and substance,
shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each Underwriter of Registrable
Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and consistent with the opinions
delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided that, if required by the Underwriter, counsel for the Participating
Holders shall provide an opinion to the Underwriter covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested from selling
securityholders by underwriters in underwritten offerings, (3) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “comfort”
letters from the independent registered public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other registered
public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company or any Guarantor, or of any business acquired by the Company or any Guarantor
for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to
each Participating Holder (to the extent permitted by applicable professional standards) and Underwriter of Registrable Securities,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection
with underwritten offerings, including but not limited to financial information contained in any preliminary prospectus, Prospectus
or Free Writing Prospectus, and (4) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or by the Underwriters, and which are customarily
delivered in underwritten offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and
the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting
agreement; and


 


(xviii)    so long as
any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, cause each Additional Guarantor upon the creation or acquisition by the Company
of such Additional Guarantor, to execute a counterpart to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A and to deliver
such counterpart to the Initial Purchasers no later than five Business Days following the execution thereof.


 




    H-15


     


    

 


(b)          In
the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require, as a condition to including a Holder’s Registrable Securities
in such Shelf Registration Statement, such Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company a Notice and Questionnaire
and such other information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as
the Company and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Each Participating Holder of Registrable Securities
as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information about such Holder
required to be disclosed so that the information about such Holder disclosed by the Company in a Shelf Registration Statement is
not materially misleading and does not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made.


 


(c)          Each
Participating Holder and Participating Broker Dealer agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company and the Guarantors
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(vi)(3) or Section 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, such Participating
Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, respectively, until such Participating Holder’s
or Participating Broker Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(a)(x) hereof and, if so directed by the Company and the Guarantors, such Participating Holder or
Participating Broker Dealer, as the case may be, will deliver to the Company and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other
than permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s or Participating Broker Dealer’s possession, of the
Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such
notice.


 


(d)          If
the Company and the Guarantors shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement in accordance with Section 3(c), the Company and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such Registration
Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the
date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received
copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions or notice
that such supplement or amendment is not necessary; provided that, in the case where such suspension is solely a result
of the Company’s compliance with Section 3(a)(xvi) hereof, no such extension shall be required and the Company shall not
be obligated to pay additional interest (and no additional interest shall accrue) pursuant to Section 2(d) during such suspension
period . For the avoidance of doubt, any such suspension shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to pay additional interest,
if any, required by Section 2(d) hereof.


 


(e)          The
Participating Holders who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten
Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each an “Underwriter”) that will
administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities included
in such offering, subject in each case to consent by the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as
such bank or manager is nationally recognized as an underwriter of debt securities offerings).


 




    H-16


     


    

 


(f)          No Holder of Registrable Securities
may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable 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 questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.


 


4.          Participation
of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities
for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making
or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection
with any resale of such Exchange Securities.


 


The Company and the Guarantors understand
that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a
plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell
the Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned
by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available to
purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities
for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act.


 


(b)          In
light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors agree to amend or
supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to include the necessary plan of distribution
and related disclosure for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to
Section 3(d) hereof), in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers
consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above. The Company and the Guarantors further agree that
Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available)
during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4.


 


(c)          The
Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder with respect to any request that they may
make pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof.

5.          Indemnification
and Contribution. (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial
Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial
Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred
in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several,
that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”)
filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information
furnished to the Company in writing through the Representatives or any selling Holder, respectively, expressly for use therein.
In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally,
will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals participating
in the distribution, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested
in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information.


 


(b)          Each
Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and
the other selling Holders, the directors of the Company and the Guarantors, each officer of the Company and the Guarantors who
signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and
any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to
the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with any information furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration
Statement, any Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus.


 




    H-18


     


    

 


(c)          If
any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted
against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person
(the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought
(the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall
not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially
prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure. If any such proceeding shall be brought
or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall
retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the
fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred.
In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall
have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded based on the advice of outside
counsel that there are legal defenses available to it that may be different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person
and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding
or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition
to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.
Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial
Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, (y) for any Holder, its directors and officers and any control
Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Registrable Securities and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall
not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified
Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated
by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent
if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) the Indemnifying
Person shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into
and (iii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the
date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement
of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification
could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that
are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or
a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.


 


(d)          If
the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect
of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu
of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as
a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company and the Guarantors from the offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and
by the Holders from receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii)
if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Holders, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on
the one hand and the Holders on the other 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 and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.


 




    H-19


     


    

 


(e)          The
Company, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5
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 paragraph (d) above. The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d)
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount
by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that
such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such 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 Securities 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 5 are several and not joint.


 


(f)          The
remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be
available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.


 


(g)          The
indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 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 the Initial Purchasers or any Holder or
any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors or the officers
or directors of or any Person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and
(iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.


 


6.          General.


 


(a)          No
Inconsistent Agreements.  The Company and the Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that (i) the rights granted to the Holders
hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed
by the Company or any Guarantor under any other agreement and (ii) neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on
or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that conflicts with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable
Securities in, or the other provisions of, this Agreement.


 




    H-20


     


    

 


(b)          Amendments
and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the 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 unless the Company and the Guarantors
have obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable
Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided that no amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder
of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or
consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. Each
Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent thereafter
shall be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 6(b), whether
or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable
Securities or is delivered to such Holder. Each Holder may waive compliance with respect to any obligation of the Company or any
Guarantor under this Agreement as it may apply or be enforced by such particular Holder.


 


(c)          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 (i) 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 6(c), which address
initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Company and
the Guarantors, 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 6(c); and (iii) to such other persons at their
respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at
the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if
mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if faxed; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery. 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.


 


(d)          Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each
of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided
that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation
of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in
any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all the terms of this
Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable 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. The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company or
the Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of
such Holder under this Agreement.


 




    H-21


     


    

 


(e)          Third
Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and
the Guarantors, 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 other Holders hereunder.


 


(f)          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.


 


(g)          Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not limit
or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.


 


(h)          Governing
Law. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.


 


(i)          Waiver
of Jury Trial. The Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.


 


(j)          Entire
Agreement; Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained
in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes
as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions.


 


(k)        Majority of Holders. Whenever
an action or determination under this Agreement requires the consent or approval of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Registrable Securities, in determining such majority, (i) any Registrable Securities owned directly
or indirectly by the Company or any of its affiliates shall not be counted and (ii) if the Company shall issue any additional Securities
under the Indenture prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer or, if applicable, the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration
Statement, such additional Securities and the Registrable Securities to which this Agreement relates shall be treated together
as one class.
