commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective until the consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with its terms, and (iv) commence the Exchange Offer and use its commercially reasonable efforts to
issue on or prior to 60 Business Days after the date on which the Exchange Registration Statement is declared effective, Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject
to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.

issuance thereof shall accrue at the rate or rates borne by the Notes from time to time during such period. 
 (d) The Company may require
each Holder as a condition to participation in the Exchange Offer to represent (i) that any Exchange Notes received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) that at the time of the commencement and
consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder has not entered into any 

  
 5 








 
arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities
Act, (iii) that if such Holder is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent
applicable to it, (iv) 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 Notes and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer (as defined below),
that it will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. 
 (e) The Company shall (and shall cause each
Guarantor to) include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution” reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, which shall contain all of the information that the SEC
may require with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer for
its own account in exchange for Notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making or other trading activity and from whom the Company has received written notice that such broker-dealer will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the
applicable Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”). Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also allow, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all
Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the manner in which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement
effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers for such period of time as such Persons must comply with such requirements in order
to resell the Exchange Notes; provided, that such period shall not exceed the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Participating Broker Dealers have sold all Exchange Notes held by them (the “Applicable Period”). 

(f) In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to): 

(i) mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder of record a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Registration
Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal (substantially in the form attached as an exhibit to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) and any related documents; 

(ii) keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 Business Days after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or
longer if required by applicable law) 
 (iii) utilize the services of a depository for the Exchange Offer with an address in
the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate thereof; 

  
 6 








 (iv) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Notes at any time prior to
the close of business, New York City time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
 (v)
otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws. 
 (g) As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer the
Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to): 
 (i) accept for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered pursuant
to the Exchange Offer and not validly withdrawn; 
 (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all
Registrable Notes so accepted for exchange; and 
 (iii) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each
Holder validly tendering such Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes equal in principal amount to the Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange. 

(h) The Exchange Notes may be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture substantially identical to the Indenture (other
than such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualification thereof under the TIA), which in either event will provide that the Exchange Notes will not be subject to the transfer restrictions
set forth in the Indenture, and that the Exchange Notes and the Notes, if any, will be deemed one class of security (subject to the provisions of the Indenture). 

(i) If: (i) prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes
determines in its or their reasonable judgment that (A) upon the advice of counsel that the Exchange Notes would not, upon receipt, be tradeable by the Holders thereof without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
without material restrictions under applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws, or (B) the interests of the Holders under this Agreement, taken as a whole, would be materially adversely affected by the consummation of the Exchange Offer, and
in the case of (A) or (B), notifies the Company in writing of such determination; (ii) any change in law or in applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC would not permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer prior to the
Effectiveness Date; (iii) subsequent to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, if any Initial Purchaser continues to hold any Notes for its own account, and such Initial Purchaser so requests; (iv) the Exchange Registration Statement is
not declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Date for any reason; or (v) in the case of (A) any Holder not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy to participate in the Exchange Offer, (B) any Holder participating in the
Exchange Offer that receives Exchange Notes that may not be sold without restriction under federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities
Act) or (C) any broker-dealer that holds Notes acquired by such broker-dealer directly from the Company or any of its affiliates and, in each such case 

  
 7 








 
contemplated by clause (iii) or this clause (v), such Holder notifies the Company in writing within 20 Business Days of the consummation of the Exchange Offer, then the Company shall
promptly (and in any event within five Business Days of such notification) deliver to the Holders (or in the case of an occurrence of any event described in clause (v) of this Section 2(i), to any such Holder) and the Trustee notice
thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and shall as promptly as practicable thereafter file an Initial Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3. 
  

	 	Section 3.	Shelf Registration.  

 If a Shelf Notice is delivered pursuant to
Section 2(i) prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer, then this Section 3 shall apply to all Registrable Notes and the term “Shelf Notes” shall apply to all Registrable Notes. Otherwise, upon consummation of the Exchange
Offer in accordance with Section 2, the provisions of Section 3 shall apply solely with respect to (i) Notes held by any Holder thereof not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, (ii) Notes held by any broker-dealer that
acquired such Notes directly from the Company or any of its affiliates and (iii) Exchange Notes that are not freely tradeable, in each case as contemplated by Section 2(i)(v) hereof, provided that in each case that the relevant
Holder has duly notified the Company within 20 Business Days of consummation of the Exchange Offer as required by Section 2(i)(v), and the term “Shelf Notes” shall apply solely with respect to Registrable Notes held by such Holder.

 (a) Initial Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), as promptly as practicable, file with the
SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Shelf Notes (the “Initial Shelf Registration”). The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than the Shelf Effectiveness Date). The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 or
another appropriate form permitting registration of such Shelf Notes for resale by Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more Underwritten Offerings). The Company and Guarantors shall
not permit any securities other than the Shelf Notes to be included in any Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously
effective under the Securities Act until the date which is one year from the effectiveness date of the Initial Shelf Registration (subject to extension pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 6) (the “Effectiveness Period”),
or such shorter period ending when (i) all Shelf Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration (ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration covering all of the
Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (iii) there cease to be any outstanding Shelf Notes registered
thereunder or (iv) the date on which all Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf Registration become eligible for resale without regard to volume, manner of sale or other restrictions contained in Rule 144. 

  
 8 








 (b) Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent
Shelf Registration (as defined below) ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered thereunder), the Company shall (and shall cause each
Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within 30 days of such cessation of
effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file (and cause each Guarantor to file) a separate “shelf” Registration Statement pursuant to
Rule 415 covering all of the Shelf Notes (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective for a period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the
aggregate number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously continuously effective. As used herein the term “Shelf Registration” means the Initial Shelf Registration and
any Subsequent Shelf Registrations. 
 (c) Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its
reasonable best efforts to promptly supplement and amend any Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if
reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes covered by such Shelf Registration with respect to information relating to such Holders or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes in
connection with an Underwritten Offering. 
 (d) Provision of Information. No Holder of Shelf Notes shall be entitled to include any
of its Shelf Notes in any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes to the Company and the Trustee in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor, such information as the Company or the
Trustee reasonably believe is required for inclusion in any Shelf Registration or Prospectus included therein and so requests, and no such Holder shall be entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 4 hereof unless and until such Holder
shall have provided such information. 
 (e) Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any
time, the Company may delay the filing of any Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration or delay or suspend the effectiveness thereof, for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of 90 days in the aggregate during any
12-month period (a “Shelf Suspension Period”), if the Company determines reasonably and in good faith that the filing of any such Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration or the continuing effectiveness thereof
would require the disclosure of non-public material information that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, would be detrimental to the Company if so disclosed or would otherwise materially adversely affect a financing, acquisition,
disposition, merger or other material transaction or such action is required by applicable law.

	 	Section 4.	Additional Interest.  

 (a) The Company and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees
that the Holders of Registrable Notes will suffer damages if the Company or any Guarantor fails to fulfill its material obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such
damages with precision. Accordingly, the Company and the Guarantors agree to pay additional cash interest on the Notes (“Additional Interest”) under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each event described in
clauses (i) through (iii) below, a “Registration Default” and each of which shall be given independent effect): 

(i) if the Exchange Registration Statement (or in lieu thereof, a Shelf Registration) has not been filed on or prior to the
Filing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the first 90 days immediately following the Filing Date, such Additional
Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period; 
 (ii) if
the Exchange Registration Statement (or in lieu thereof, a Shelf Registration) is not declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of
0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the first 90 days immediately following the Effectiveness Date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day
period; 
 (iii) if (A) the Company (and any Guarantor) has not exchanged Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered
in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 60th Business Day after the Effectiveness Date, (B) the Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time prior to the time that the Exchange Offer is
consummated, (C) if applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time prior to the first anniversary of its effective date (other than such time as all Notes have been
disposed of thereunder) and is not declared effective again within 30 days, or (D) the Company issues a valid notice to suspend the use of the prospectus included in any Shelf Registration and such suspensions, when taken together with all
other suspensions, if any, during any 12-month period exceeds 120 days, then, in each such case, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes, over and above any stated interest, at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such
Notes commencing on (w) the 61st Business Day after the Effectiveness Date, in the case of (A) above, (x) the date the Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective without being declared effective again within 30 days, in
the case of clause (B) above, (y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective without being declared effective again 

  
 10 








 
within 30 days in case of (C) above, or (z) the day the Shelf Registration has ceased to be usable for a period exceeding 120 days during any 12-month period in case of clause
(D) above, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period; 

provided, however, that the maximum Additional Interest rate on the Notes may not exceed at any one time in the aggregate 1.00% per annum; and
provided further, that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Registration Statement (in the case of (i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement (in the case of (ii) above), (3) upon the
effectiveness of the Initial Shelf Registration or the Shelf Registration or, if Additional Interest shall be payable solely because an Initial Shelf Registration required pursuant to Section 2(i)(iv) has not been declared effective prior to
the Shelf Effectiveness Date, upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement (in the case of (i) or (ii) above) or (4) upon the exchange of Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered (in the case of clause (iii)(A) above),
or upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement that had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (iii)(B) above), or upon the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of
clause (iii)(C) above), or upon valid notice by the Company that the suspended Shelf Registration has again become usable (in the case of clause (iii)(D) above), Additional Interest on the Notes or the Shelf Note, as applicable, as a result of such
clause (or the relevant subclause thereof) shall cease to accrue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the amount of Additional Interest payable shall not increase because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is pending, and
(y) Additional Interest shall be payable for Registration Defaults related to a failure of the Company to cause a Shelf Registration to be declared effective only to Holders of Shelf Notes. Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 4
shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Holders with respect to a Registration Default. 
 (b) The Company shall notify the
Trustee within five Business Days after each and every date on which a Registration Default occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid. Any accrued amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of
this Section 4 will be payable in cash in arrears, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Indenture and whether or not any cash interest would then be payable on such date, commencing with the first such semi-annual date occurring after
any such Additional Interest commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the applicable principal amount of the Notes or the Shelf Notes, as applicable,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month,
the actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360. 
  

	 	Section 5.	Hold-Back Agreements. 

 The Company agrees that it will not effect any public or private
sale or distribution (including a sale pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act) of any 

  
 11 








 
securities the same as or substantially the same as those covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof (other than Additional Notes (as defined in the
Indenture) issued under the Indenture), or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 10 days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of any Registration Statement
filed pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof unless the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes to be included in such Registration Statement consent, if the managing underwriter thereof so requests in writing.

  

	 	Section 6.	Registration Procedures. 

 In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement
pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) effect such registrations to permit the sale of such securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and
pursuant thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to): 

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC, on or prior to the Filing Date, the Exchange Registration Statement, or if the Exchange Registration
Statement is not filed because of the circumstances contemplated by Section 2(a)(i), a Shelf Registration as prescribed by Section 3, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become effective
and remain effective as provided herein; provided that, if (A) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (B) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required
to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto from whom the Company has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating
Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), if requested, furnish to and afford, in the case of clause
(A) above, the Holders of the Registrable Notes to be registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration, in the case of clause (B) above, each Participating Broker-Dealer, the managing underwriters in an Underwritten Offering, if any, and
each of their respective counsel, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least five
Business Days prior to such filing). The Company and each Guarantor shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in respect of which the Holders must provide information for the inclusion
therein without the Holders being afforded an opportunity to review such documentation if the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, or any such Participating
Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriters in an Underwritten Offering, if any, or any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing within five Business Days after the receipt hereof. A Holder shall be deemed to
have reasonably objected to such filing if such Holder’s objection to such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, relates to an untrue statement of a


  
 12 








 
material fact or an omission to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or a failure to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act. 

(b) Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture (or other
indenture relating to the Registrable Notes) to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement; and in connection therewith, to effect such changes to such indenture as may be required for such
indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such 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 such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner. 
 (c) Prepare and file with the
SEC such pre-effective amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration or Exchange Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness

Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to them with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer in the manner disclosed to the Company by such Participating
Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus. The Company and each Guarantor shall not, during the Applicable Period, knowingly take any action that would result in selling Holders of the Registrable Notes covered by a Shelf Registration or
Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange Notes not being able to sell such Registrable Notes or such Exchange Notes during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law, rule or regulation or permitted by this Agreement.

 (d) Furnish to such selling Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers who so request in writing (i) upon the Company’s receipt,
a copy of the order of the SEC declaring such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto effective, (ii) such reasonable number of copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each
case including any documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits unless such documents or exhibits are publicly available) and (iii) such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement
(including each preliminary Prospectus) and each amendment and supplement thereto, and such reasonable number of copies of the final Prospectus as filed by the Company and each Guarantor pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and each amendment and supplement thereto (including any amendments required to be filed pursuant to clause (c) of this Section). Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, the Company and the
Guarantors hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus by each of the selling Holders 

  
 13 








 
of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto. 

(e) If (i) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (ii) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto from whom the Company has received
written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company shall notify in writing the selling Holders of Registrable Notes, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriters
in an Underwritten Offering, if any, and each of their respective counsel promptly (but in any event within two Business Days) (A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or
post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (B) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (C) if at any time when a Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in
connection with sales of the Registrable Notes the representations and warranties of the Company and any Guarantor contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(n) hereof cease to be true and
correct, in all material respects, during the relevant offering period, (D) of the receipt by the Company or any Guarantor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration
Statement or any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (E) of the happening of
any event, the existence of any condition or any information becoming known to the Company that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in, or amendments or supplements to, such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein to make the statement not misleading, or in the case of a Prospectus or documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference, it will
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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, (F) of
any reasonable determination by the Company or any Guarantor that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (G) of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the
Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto. 

  
 14 








 (f) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any
Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible date.

reasonably request in writing to be included or made therein and (B) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to
be incorporated in such Prospectus supplements or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action hereunder that would, in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, violate
applicable laws. 
 (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Notes or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Registration Statement by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes
or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or any managing underwriter or underwriters, if
any, in an Underwritten Offering reasonably request in writing; provided, that where Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or Registrable Notes are offered other than through an Underwritten Offering, the Company and each

Section 6(h), use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to do any and all other acts or things 

  
 15

Registration Statement; provided that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (ii) take any action that would subject it
to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 

(i) If (i) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (ii) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is requested to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable
Notes and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, in an Underwritten Offering to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive
legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company, and enable such Registrable Notes to be in such denominations permitted by the Indenture and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters,
if any, in an Underwritten Offering or Holders may reasonably request. 
 (j) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such U.S. governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter, if any, to consummate the

supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes being sold
thereunder or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein to make the statements not misleading or such Prospectus or documents 

  
 16 








 
incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, if SEC review is required, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared

the registration or the disposition of such Registrable Notes, and in such connection: (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as

underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances, and confirm the same if and when reasonably required; (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an opinion of counsel to
the Company and the Guarantors and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes being sold), addressed to each selling Holder and addressed to each of the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors requested in underwritten offerings
of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances; (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof (which letters and updates (in form, scope and

the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), 

  
 17 








 
addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with
underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances, and such other matters as reasonably requested in writing by the underwriters; and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may
be reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold and the managing underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the
Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other similar agreement entered into by the Company or any Guarantor. 

(o) If (i) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (ii) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration

such Registrable Notes being sold, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Notes, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such

Statement; provided that the foregoing inspection and information gathering on behalf of the Holders shall be coordinated by one counsel designated by and on behalf of the Holders. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that it will keep the
Records confidential and it will not disclose, any of the Records unless (A) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement, (B) the release of such Records is
ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (C) the information in such Records is public or has been made generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to
safeguard by such Inspector or (D) disclosure of such information is, in the reasonable written opinion of counsel for any Inspector, necessary or advisable in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly,
involving or potentially involving such Inspector and arising out of, based upon, related to, or involving this Agreement, or any transaction contemplated hereby or arising hereunder. Each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such
Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company
unless and until such information is made generally available to the public. Each Inspector, each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree that it will, upon learning that
disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent 

  
 18 








 
jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and, to the extent practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of the Records deemed confidential at its expense. 
 (p) Use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules
and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to the security holders of the Company with regard to any Applicable Registration Statement earning statements satisfying the provisions of section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158

fiscal quarter in which Registrable Notes are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts Underwritten Offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of
the Company after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods. 
 (q) If the Exchange
Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Notes by the Holders to the Company and the Guarantors (or to such other Person as directed by the Company and the Guarantors) in exchange for the Exchange Notes, the Company and the
Guarantors shall mark, or caused to be marked, on such Registrable Notes that the Exchange Notes are being issued as substitute evidence of the indebtedness originally evidenced by the Registrable Notes; provided that in no event shall such
Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
 (r) Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any
Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Notes and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA. 

(s) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Notes
covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 
 (t) Each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which
any registration is being effected shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such seller or Participating Broker-Dealer and the distribution of such Registrable Notes as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in
writing. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Notes of any seller who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time (which time in no event shall exceed 20 days, subject to Section 3(d) hereof) after
receiving such request. Each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the
information previously furnished by such seller not materially misleading. 

  
 19 








 (u) Each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition
of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(e)(ii)(B),
6(e)(ii)(D) and 6(e)(ii)(E) or the commencement of a Shelf Suspension Period, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement and such Participating Broker-Dealer will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such Exchange Notes pursuant to any Prospectus and, in each case, forthwith discontinue dissemination of such Prospectus until such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any
amendments or supplements thereto and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s or
Participating Broker-Dealer’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Notes current at the time of the receipt of such notice. In the event the Company and the Guarantors shall give any such notice, the Applicable Period shall
be extended by the number of days during such periods from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k) or (y) the Advice.

	 	Section 8.	Indemnification. 

 (a) Indemnification by the Company and the Guarantors. The
Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, each Person, if any, who controls each
such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents, employees and partners of each such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer and controlling person,
to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys” fees as provided in this Section 8) and
reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred,
directly or indirectly caused by, 

  
 21 








 
related to, based upon, or arising out of or in connection with, in the case of the Registration Statement or in any amendments thereto, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein to make the statements not misleading, or in the case of any Prospectus or form of
prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein 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 insofar as such Losses are solely based upon information relating to such Holder or Participating
Broker-Dealer and furnished in writing to the Company and the Guarantors by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer or their counsel expressly for use therein. 

(b) Indemnification by Holder. In connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus in which a Holder is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company and the Guarantors in writing such information as the Company and the Guarantors reasonably request for use in connection
with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors, officers, agents,
employees and each Person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantors (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, employees and partners of such
controlling persons, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon, in the case of the Registration Statement or in any amendments thereto, untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein to make the statements not misleading, or in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or
in any preliminary prospectus, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such losses are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, unappealable order to
have resulted solely from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company and
the Guarantors expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount (as defined below). 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnifying Parties”, as


  
 22 








 
applicable) in writing; but the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party (i) will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless
and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above. 
 The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an
Indemnified Party, within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such proceeding, to assume, at its expense, the defense of any such proceeding; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to
pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding or shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (3) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates or controlling persons, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there
may be one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in addition to, or in conflict with, those defenses available to the Indemnifying Party or such affiliate or controlling person (in which case, if such Indemnified Party
notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it being understood, however, that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Party). 

No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each Indemnifying Party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth
above, to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the
consent of an Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party
thereto) and (ii) does not include a statement assigning, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. 

  
 23 








 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this
Section 8), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent any such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with any proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) was available to such party. 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), a selling Holder shall not
be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount. A selling Holder’s “Maximum Contribution Amount” shall equal the excess of (i) the aggregate net proceeds
received by such Holder pursuant to the sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes over (ii) the aggregate amount of 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 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of the Registrable Notes held by each Holder hereunder and not joint. The Company’s
and the Guarantors’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are joint and several. 
 The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. 
  

	 	Section 9.	Rules 144 and 144A. 

 (a) The Company covenants that, so long as the Registrable Notes
remain outstanding, it shall (i) file the reports required to be filed by it (if so required) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company 

  
 24 








 
is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Notes, make publicly available other information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule
144 and Rule 144A and (ii) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Notes without registration under the Securities Act
pursuant to the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A. 
 (b) Availability of Rule 144 Not Excuse for Obligations under
Section 2. The fact that Holders of Registrable Notes may become eligible to sell such Registrable Notes pursuant to Rule 144 shall not (1) cause such Notes to cease to be Registrable Notes or (2) excuse the Company’s and the
Guarantors’ obligations set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations in respect of an Exchange Offer, Shelf Registration and Additional Interest.  

 

	 	Section 10.	Underwritten Registrations of Registrable Notes. 

 If any of the Registrable Notes
covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of such Registrable Notes included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers must be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall be required to effect an
Underwritten Offering only if the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration and in no event shall the Company be required to effect more than three Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Agreement. 

No Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such
Holder’s Registrable Notes on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
  

	 	Section 11.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and each of the
Guarantors have not entered, as of the date hereof, and the Company and each of the Guarantors shall not enter, after the date of this Agreement, into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted
to the Holders of Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company and each of the Guarantors have not entered and will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that will grant to
any Person piggy-back rights with respect to a Registration Statement. 
 (b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes. The Company
shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Notes as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders to include such Registrable Notes in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.


  
 25 








 (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified
or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, other than with the prior written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Registrable Notes in circumstances that would adversely affect any Holders of Registrable Notes; provided, however, that Section 8 and this Section 11(c) may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written
consent of each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Notes whose securities are being tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer or sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Notes may be given by Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being tendered or being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Shelf Registration. 
 (d)
