Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Companies by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final
Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Written Communication. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Companies acknowledge that the statements
set forth in the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids and the third sentence in the fourteenth paragraph, each under the heading “Private Placement” in the Preliminary Memorandum and Final
Memorandum, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party
(i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and
defenses; 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 paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be
entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not
thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying
party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel 

  
 -24- 







 
chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any
such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of
the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not
the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or
proceeding. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 8 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by
such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Companies and the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to contribute to the aggregate
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which one or more of the Companies and the Initial
Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Companies on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities; provided, however,
that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser (except as may be provided in any agreement among the Initial Purchasers relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission
applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Companies and the Initial Purchasers shall contribute in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Companies on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Companies shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer, and benefits received by the
Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material 

  
 -25- 







 
fact relates to information provided by the Companies on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Companies and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director,
officer, employee and agent of an Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls a Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer, director,
employee and agent of a Company shall have the same rights to contribution as such Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 

9. Default by an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the
Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated
severally to take up and pay for (at the respective purchase prices set forth in Section 2 and in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount
of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the
aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers
shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any
nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Companies. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives
shall determine in order that the required changes in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken under this paragraph
shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Companies or any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice
given to the Issuer prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in any of Holdings’ securities shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or Nasdaq National Market;
(ii) a 

  
 -26- 







 
banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the
United States or the European Union or any member state thereof of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other
statements of the Companies or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial
Purchasers or the Companies or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 11 hereof
shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 
 12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in
writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Initial Purchasers, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Representatives (fax no.: +44 (0)20 7595 2555 and confirmed to BNP Paribas, 10 Harewood Avenue, London NW1 6AA, United
Kingdom, Attention: Fixed Income Syndicate (High Yield, Stanford Hartman) and fax no.: +44 (0)20 7595 2555 and confirmed to The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, 135 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3UR, United Kingdom, Attention: High Yield Syndicate, Kevin

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(h) hereof, no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any claim or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction or conduct in connection herewith is
waived. 
 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile, email or other electronic transmission (i.e., “pdf’ or
“tif’) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement. 

  
 -27- 







 16. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Companies acknowledges and
agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s length commercial transaction between the Companies, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, (ii) in connection
therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Companies, (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in
favor of the Companies with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Companies on other matters) or any other obligation to
the Companies except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Companies have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. Each of the Companies agree that they will not claim
that any Initial Purchaser has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to them, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 

17. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
