the following: 
  

	 	(i)	that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange; 


 

	 	(ii)	that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not retain any rights under this Agreement, except as otherwise specified herein; 


 

	 	(iii)	that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to (A) surrender such Registrable Security, together with the appropriate letters of transmittal, to
the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and in the manner specified in the notice, or (B) effect such exchange otherwise in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for
such Registrable Security, in each case prior to the close of business on the last day of the Exchange Period; and 

  

	 	(iv)	that any Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election, not later than the close of business on the last day of the Exchange Period, by (A) sending to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice, a telegram, telex, 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
(i) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) 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, (iii) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of
the Company or any Guarantor and (iv) 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, then 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 Exchange Period, 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 


 

	 	(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.

 The Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to complete the Exchange
Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws 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. 
 (b)
Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company and the Guarantors are not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC
policy, (ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not Consummated by the Exchange Date or (iii) prior to the Exchange Date: (A) the Initial Purchasers request from the Company with respect to Registrable Securities not eligible to be
exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer, (B) with respect to any Holder of Registrable Securities such Holder notifies the Company that (i) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the
Exchange Offer, (ii) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not
appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder, or (iii) such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer and holds Registrable Securities acquired directly from the Company or one of its affiliates or (C) in the case of the Initial
Purchasers, the Initial Purchasers notify the Company they will not receive Exchange Securities in exchange for Registrable Securities constituting any portion of the Initial Purchasers’ unsold allotment, the Company and the Guarantors shall
(x) cause to be filed a Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable (such date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Registrable Securities by the
Holders thereof and (y) use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC. 

The Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective,
supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Registrable Securities by the Holders of such Registrable Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 2(b), and to ensure that it conforms
with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the SEC as announced from time to time, from the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC until the
expiration of the two-year period after the Closing Date (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement;
provided that the Company may for a period of up to 60 days in any three-month period, not to exceed 90 days in any calendar year, determine that the Shelf Registration Statement is not usable under certain circumstances relating to corporate
developments, public filings with the SEC and similar events, and suspend the use of the prospectus that is part of the Shelf Registration Statement). 

No Holder of Registrable Securities may include any of its Registrable Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this
Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Company may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the
information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. 

  
 6 








 (c) Registration Expenses. 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) Effective Date. 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. 

(e) Liquidated Damages. If (i) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated by the Exchange Date, (ii) any Shelf Registration
Statement, if required hereby, has not been declared effective by the SEC 120 days after any obligation to file a Shelf Registration Statement arises or (iii) 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 (iii), 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 immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent
90-day period (such increase, “Liquidated Damages”), but in no event shall Liquidated Damages exceed 0.50% per annum. At the earlier of (i) the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to the particular Registrable
Securities or (ii) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, 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, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Registrable Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
Such Liquidated Damages shall be the sole remedy of any Holder hereunder (other than a Participating Broker-Dealer). 
 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.

permitted by law, made available) to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus will cease to have the identified deficiencies and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to

preliminary prospectus or Prospectus and (4) 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 (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary
conditions contained in an underwriting agreement; and 

  

	 	(xvi)	prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer, or, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, prior to the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, and 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. 

 (b) In the case of
a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such 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. 
 (c) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of
Registrable Securities covered in such Shelf Registration Statement 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)(iv)(3) or 3(a)(iv)(5) hereof,
such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(a)(viii) hereof and, if so directed by the Company and the Guarantors, such Holder will deliver to the Company and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses covering such Registrable Securities that are current at the time of receipt of such notice. 

  
 11 








 (d) If the Company and the Guarantors shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, 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 necessary to resume such dispositions
(such period, the “Suspension Period”). The Company and the Guarantors may give any such notice for a period of up to 60 days in any three-month period, not to exceed 90 days in any calendar year. 

(e) 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 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. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, no Underwritten Offering hereunder may be conducted without the Company’s written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that any request for an Underwritten Offering must be made by written request of Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Securities; provided
further, that the Company shall not be required to complete more than one Underwritten Offering pursuant to the terms hereof. 

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, upon notice from a Participating Broker-Dealer that certifies that it may be deemed an “underwriter” as contemplated in Section 4(a) above, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best efforts to keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by Section 3 hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available to participating Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that is conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the SEC as announced from time to time, for a period ending
on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Participating Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with
market-making or other trading activities. The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of the Prospectus to Participating Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such 180-day (or shorter period as provided in
the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales. 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. 

  
 12 








 (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) above. 
 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 or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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 provided by any Initial Purchaser or Holder expressly for
use therein or arise as a result of sales made during a Suspension Period. 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 or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. 

(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, (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the
Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (ii) any sales made during a Suspension Period. 

(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; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability 

  
 13 








 
that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. 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 that there
may be legal defenses available to it that are 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) if designated for one or more Initial Purchasers or affiliates, directors, officers or control Persons of one or more Initial Purchasers shall be designated in writing by the
Representative unless such representation is to include Holders that are not Initial Purchasers, (y) if designated for one or more Holders or directors, officers or control Persons of any Holder, in each case including one or more Holders other
than Initial Purchasers, shall be designated in writing by a majority of the Holders to be represented 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 prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final non-appealable 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 30 days after receipt by the
Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person for such amounts as are not in dispute in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) the
Indemnifying Person shall not have notified the Indemnified Person in writing (and in reasonable detail) of its good faith belief that such reimbursement is not required. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior 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


  
 14 








 
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 applicable Holders, and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (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 incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with 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) Rule 144A. The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree with each Holder, for so long as any Registrable Securities remain
outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Registrable Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information
required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 

(b) Adjustments Affecting the Securities. The Company and the Guarantors will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with
respect to the Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer. 
 (c)
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 and are not 

  
 15 








 
inconsistent 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 is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions hereof. 
 (d) 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 a majority of the Holders 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(d) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. 

(e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery,
registered first-class mail, telex, 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(e), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the addresses 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(e); 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(e). 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 transmitted by facsimile; 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. 

(f) 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. 
 (g) 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. 

  
 16 








 (h) 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. 

(i) 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. 
 (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York, including the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in connection with any claim brought with respect to this Agreement or related matter and waives any right to claim such forum would be inappropriate, including concepts of forum
non conveniens. 
 (k) Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company, the Guarantors and each of the Initial Purchasers hereby irrevocably
waives, 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. 

(l) 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.

 (m) Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Holder represents that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or referred
to, and agrees that it will not prepare or have prepared on its behalf or use or refer to, any Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities without the prior express written consent of the Company. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees
that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the SEC, legends and record-keeping. 

(n) Majorities. Any reference herein to a majority of Holders shall be deemed to refer to a majority of the relevant aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities; provided that whenever the consent or approval of Holders is required hereunder, any Registrable Securities owned directly or indirectly by the Company or any of its affiliates shall
not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the required majority.
