(b) In the event that (i) the Company and the Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided
for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be Consummated as soon as practicable after the last Acceptance Date because it would violate applicable law or the applicable interpretations or policy of the Staff of the SEC,

 8 








 
SEC on or before the 60th day after the Shelf Filing Deadline (or if such 60th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the
earlier of (X) two years following the effectiveness date of such Shelf Registration Statement or (Y) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement. The Company and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company and the
Guarantors for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the 1933 Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their
best efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of
any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC. To the extent that the Company and the Guarantors are required to include any Registrable Securities in a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the
Guarantors may include such Registrable Securities on any other shelf registration statement otherwise filed by the Company with respect to any of its other securities. 
 (c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to this Section 2. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and 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) or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been
declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that, if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other
order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have become effective during the period of such interference until the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement may legally resume. 
 (e) If either (i) the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement covering the offer by the Company and the Guarantors to the Holders to exchange all of the Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities has not been filed within 210 days after the Closing Date (or, if such 210th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day),
(ii) such Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective within 330 days after the Closing Date (or, if such 330th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated
by the Exchange Date, (iv) any Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has not been declared effective by the SEC within the required period following the Shelf Filing Deadline or (v) any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement has been declared effective but ceases to be effective at any time at which it is required to be effective under this Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (v), a “Registration Default”), the
Company hereby agrees that the interest rate borne by the Registrable Securities shall be increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period 

  
 9 








 
immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such
increase exceed 1.00% per annum, immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default (such increased interest being “Special Interest”). At such time as all Registration Defaults relating to the particular
Registrable Securities are cured, the interest rate borne by the relevant Registrable Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such
reduction in interest rate pursuant to the preceding clause, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Registrable Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions. All obligations of
the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Registrable Security at the time such security ceases to be a Registrable Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations
with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full. 
 (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) may result in material irreparable injury to the
Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain
such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s or the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b).

sale of the Registrable Securities covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law; 

(d) use their best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or

contemplated by Section 3(e)(v), use their best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file
any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements

Initial Purchasers and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders and their counsel) and make such of the representatives of the Company and the Guarantors as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial

(l) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), 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

Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 
 (m) in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for
inspection by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Securities, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, and attorneys and accountants designated by the Holders, at reasonable times

reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement; 
 (n) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar securities
issued by the Company or any Guarantor are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders, to the extent such Registrable Securities satisfy applicable listing requirements; 

(o) use their best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, to continue
to be rated by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (as such term is defined in Rule 436(g)(2) under the 1933 Act); 
 (p) if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information with respect to such Holder as such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as the Company has received notification
of the matters to be incorporated in such filing; and 

  
 13 









 (q) 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 Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities
including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (i) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect to the business
of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, 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 confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in connection with underwritten firm
commitment offerings, (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other certified 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 selling Holder and Underwriter of
Registrable Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten firm commitment offerings, and (iv) deliver such documents and
certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or 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 (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement. 

(r) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors may require each Holder of Registrable
Securities to furnish to the Company and the Guarantors such information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably request in
writing. 
 (s) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder 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(e)(v), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such
Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i), and, if so directed by the Company and the Guarantors, such Holder will 

  
 14 









 
deliver to the Company and the Guarantors (at its expense) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company and the Guarantors shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company and the
Guarantors shall extend the period during which the 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 shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company and the Guarantors may give any such notice only twice during any 365-day period and any such suspensions
may not exceed 30 days for each suspension and there may not be more than two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period. 
 (t) The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering,
the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers (the “Underwriters”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such offering. 

 

	 	4.	Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. 

 (a) The Staff of the SEC 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 1933 Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the 1933 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 to satisfy their
prospectus delivery obligation under the 1933 Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the 1933 Act. 

(b) In light of the above, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors agree that the
provisions of this Agreement as they relate to a Shelf Registration shall also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration to the extent, and with such reasonable modifications thereto as may be, reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or by one
or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in each case as provided in clause (ii) below, 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; provided, however, that: 

  
 15 









 (i) the Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to amend or
supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be contemplated by Section 3(i), (A) after the Participating Broker-Dealers shall have disposed of the Registrable Securities or
(B) for a period exceeding 180 days after the last Acceptance Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(s)) and Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Company and the Guarantors to deliver and shall
not deliver such Prospectus after such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4; and 
 (ii) the application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement to an Exchange Offer Registration, to the extent not required by the positions of the Staff of the
SEC or the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, will be in conformity with the reasonable request to the Company and the Guarantors by the Initial Purchasers or with the reasonable request in writing to the Company and the Guarantors
by one or more broker-dealers who certify to the Initial Purchasers and the Company and the Guarantors in writing that they anticipate that they will be Participating Broker-Dealers; and provided, further, that, in connection with such
application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 to an Exchange Offer Registration, the Company and the Guarantors shall be obligated (x) to deal only with one entity representing the Participating Broker-Dealers,
which shall be Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated unless it elects not to act as such representative, (y) to pay the fees and expenses of only one counsel representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be
counsel to the Initial Purchasers unless such counsel elects not to so act and (z) to cause to be delivered only one, if any, “cold comfort” letter with respect to the Prospectus in the form existing on the last Acceptance Date and
with respect to each subsequent amendment or supplement, if any, effected during the period specified in clause (i) above. 

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

	 	5.	Indemnification and Contribution. 

 (a) The Company agrees and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act) any Holder (any of the persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the respective officers,
directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder or any controlling person (any person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest
extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including without limitation and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing,


  
 16 









 
pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
(B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except (i) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by an untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders expressly for use therein and (ii) the Company and
the Guarantors shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon the use of a Registration Statement after (x) a stop order has been issued by the SEC in respect of a
Registration Statement or any proceedings for such purposes have been initiated or (y) a Registration Statement has been suspended, so long as in the case of (x) and (y), the Holders shall have received prior notice of such action from the
Company in accordance with this Agreement. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have. 
 In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity
may be sought against the Company or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Company and the Guarantors in writing (provided, that the failure to give
such notice shall not relieve the Company or the Guarantors of their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement). Such Indemnified Holder shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the Company and the Guarantors (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Holder is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). The Company and the Guarantors shall not, in
connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated by the Holders. The Company and the Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of any
such action or proceeding effected with the Company’s and each Guarantor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Company. The Company and the Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent
of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which


  
 17 









 
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes (i) an
unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on
behalf of any Indemnified Holder. 
 (b) Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors and their respective directors, officers who sign a Registration Statement, and any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act) the
Company, the Guarantors and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to each of the Indemnified
Holders, but only with respect to claims and actions based on information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company, the Guarantors or
their directors or officers or any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Registrable Securities, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company and/or the Guarantors and the Company,
the Guarantors or their directors or officers or such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph. 
 (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in
those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds from the Initial Placement as set forth on the cover page of the Offering
Memorandum), the amount of Special Interest which did not become payable as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement,
or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Indemnified Holder 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 or by the Indemnified Holder and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 5(a), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or
claim. 

  
 18 









 The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder of Registrable Securities agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(c) 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 which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 5, none of the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to
the Initial Notes exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(c) are several
in proportion to the respective principal amount of Initial Notes held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint. 
  

	 	6.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) No
Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor the Guarantors have entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable
Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s or the
Guarantors’ other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements. 
 (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, however, that no
amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such 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, telecopier, 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


  
 19 









 
this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) if to the Company or 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). 

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five
business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; 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, however, 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. 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 of 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. 
 (e) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries 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 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 and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 

(h) References. References to sections, paragraphs or provisions herein, unless otherwise qualified, or unless the context
otherwise requires, are to sections, paragraphs or provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 20 









 (i) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE. 
 (j)
Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be
instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each
party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantors irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System, as its agent to receive service of process or other
legal summons for purposes of any such suit, action or proceeding that may be instituted in the Specified Courts. Service of any process, summons, notice or document upon such agent, and written notice of said service by mail to such party’s
address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection to
the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any such court that any such suit,
action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (k) Waiver of
Immunity. With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment
(both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect to any proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of the Specified Courts (a “Related
Judgment”), each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or
Related Judgment, including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended. 
 (l) Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than U.S. dollars, the parties hereto agree, to
the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Initial Purchasers could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in The City of New
York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of each of the Company and the Guarantors in respect of any sum due from it to any Initial Purchaser shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other
than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by such Initial Purchaser of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Initial Purchaser may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser 

  
 21 









 
hereunder, each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Initial Purchaser against such loss. If the U.S.
dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder, such Initial Purchaser agrees to pay the Company and the Guarantor (but without duplication) an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased
over the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder. 
 (m) Severability. In the event that any one or more
of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (n) Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the
Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Indenture is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the
subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Registrable
Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
