 REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER 
 Unless, due to a change in law or Commission policy after the date hereof, the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable federal law or Commission policy, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall
(i) cause to be filed with the Commission as soon as practicable on or prior to 135 days after the Closing Date, a Registration Statement under the Act relating to the New Notes and the Exchange Offer and (ii) use their best efforts to
cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable on or prior to 225 days after the Closing Date. In connection with the foregoing, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall (A) file all
pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, file a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under
the Act, (C) cause all necessary filings in connection with the registration and qualification of the New Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer (provided,
however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be obligated to qualify as foreign corporations in any jurisdiction in which they are not so qualified or to take any action that would subject them to general service of process or
taxation in any jurisdiction where they are not so subject) and (D) upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer and use their best efforts to issue on or prior to 45 days after the date on which such
Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, New Notes in exchange for all Old Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the New Notes to be offered in
exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit resales of New Notes held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) below. If, after such Exchange Offer Registration Statement initially is declared effective by the
Commission, the Exchange Offer or the issuance of New Notes under the Exchange Offer or the resale of New Notes received by Broker-Dealers in the Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 3(c) below is interfered with by any stop order,
injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement shall be deemed not to have become effective for purposes of this Agreement during the period that such stop order,
injunction or other similar order or requirement shall remain in effect. 
 The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
to be effective continuously and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that
in no event shall such period be less than 20 business days nor longer than 90 days. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall only offer to exchange New Notes for Old Notes in the Exchange Offer, and only the New Notes shall be registered under the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use its
best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event later than 45 business days after such effective date. 
  

 5 








 The Company shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus
included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer that holds Old Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities
(other than Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Company), may exchange such Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with any resales of the New Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer. Such “Plan of Distribution”
section shall allow the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Act, including Participating Broker-Dealers, and shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by
Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Old Notes held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the
extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement. 
 The Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall use their best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) below to the extent necessary to ensure that it is
available for resales of New Notes acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the
policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time. The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such period in order to
facilitate such resales. 
 The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not consummate the Exchange Offer later than 270 days following
the Closing Date. 
 SHELF REGISTRATION 
 Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable
law or Commission policy or (ii) any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall notify the Company within 20 business days of the Consummation of the Exchange Offer that such Holder (A) is prohibited by applicable law or Commission
policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, or (B) may not resell the New Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is
not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) is a Broker-Dealer and holds Old Notes (including the Initial Purchaser who holds Old Notes as part of an unsold allotment from the original offering of the Old Notes) acquired
directly from the Company or one of its affiliates or (iii) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors do not consummate the Exchange Offer within 45 days following the effectiveness date of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, then the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall (x) cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer 

  

 6 








 
Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”), on or prior to the earliest to occur of (1) the 135th day
after the date on which the Company determines that it is not required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (2) the 135th day after the date on which the Company receives notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities as
contemplated by clause (ii) above (such earliest date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have
provided the information required pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Agreement, and (y) use its best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or before the 225th day after the Shelf
Filing Deadline. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) of this
Agreement to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of New Notes by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a continuous period of two years following the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective under the Act or such
shorter period that will terminate when all the New Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted 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 regarding such Holder as the Company may reasonably
request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included in such Shelf Registration Statement. 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 to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. 
 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 
 If (i) any of the Registration Statements required by this Agreement is not filed
with the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such filing in this Agreement, (ii) any of such Registration Statements has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in this
Agreement (the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 45 business days after the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or
(iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods required by this
Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay liquidated damages to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to the first
90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default, in an amount equal to $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes constituting Transfer Restricted Securities held 

  

 7 








 
by such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default continues. The amount of the liquidated damages shall increase by an additional
$.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes constituting Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages of $.20 per
week per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes constituting Transfer Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay liquidated damages to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities if the Registration
Default arises from the failure of the Company to file, or cause to become effective, a Shelf Registration Statement within the time period required by Section 4 of this Agreement and such Registration Default is by reason of the failure of the
Holders to provide the information regarding the Holder reasonably requested by the Company, the NASD or any other regulatory agency having jurisdiction over any of the Holders at least 10 business days prior to such Registration Default. All
accrued liquidated damages shall be paid by the Company on each Damages Payment Date to the Holders by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by federal funds check and to the Holders of certificated securities by mailing a check to such
Holders’ registered addresses. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the accrual of liquidated damages with respect to such Transfer Restricted Securities will cease.

 All obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security
at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Transfer Restricted Security shall have been satisfied in full. 
 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 
 Exchange Offer Registration
Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) below, shall use their best efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer
Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and shall comply with all of the following provisions: 
 If, due to a change in law or Commission policy after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of special counsel to the Company there
is a question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law or Commission policy, the Company hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Old Notes. The Company hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a no-action letter or favorable decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially
unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. The Company hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission an analysis prepared by special counsel to the
Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a resolution (which need not be favorable) by the Commission of such submission. The
Initial Purchaser shall be given prior notice of any action taken by the Company under this clause (i). 
  

 8 








 As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal
contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement
or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the New Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the New Notes in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the Company’s preparations for the Exchange Offer. 
 The Company and
the Initial Purchaser acknowledge that the staff of the Commission has taken the position that any broker-dealer that owns New Notes that were received by such broker-dealer for its own account in the Exchange Offer (a “Participating
Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes (other than a resale of an unsold
allotment resulting from the original offering of the Old Notes). 
 The Company and the Initial Purchaser also acknowledge
that it is the Commission 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 New Notes, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of New Notes owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery
obligations under the Act in connection with resales of New Notes for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Act. 
 Shelf Registration Statement. In the event that a Shelf Registration Statement is required by this Agreement, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c)
of this Agreement and shall use their best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution of such Transfer Restricted
Securities and, in connection therewith, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the
Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities. 
 General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of
Transfer Restricted 

  

 9 








 
Securities (including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, to the extent that the same are required to be available to
permit resales of New Notes by Broker-Dealers), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall: 
 use their best efforts to
keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable time period required hereunder and provide all requisite financial statements (including, if required by the Act or any regulation thereunder, financial statements of the
Subsidiary Guarantors) for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a
material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders to suspend use of the Prospectus,
and the Holders shall suspend use of the Prospectus, and such Holders shall not communicate non-public information to any third party, in violation of the securities laws, until the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have made an appropriate
amendment to such Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their best efforts to cause
such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter; 
 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been
sold; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act during the applicable time period required hereunder and to comply fully with the applicable
provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement during
such period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers of such securities set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented; 
 advise the underwriter(s), if any, the Initial Purchaser, and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each of the selling Holders
promptly and, if requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the 

  

 10 








 
qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding
purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus,
as the case may be, or any document incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement or Prospectus untrue in any material respect, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in
order to make the statements in such Registration Statement or Prospectus not misleading and that in the case of the Prospectus, 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time; 
 furnish to each of the underwriter(s), if any, the Initial Purchaser and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each of the selling Holders before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus
included in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement),
which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of such underwriter(s), if any, the Initial Purchaser, and such Holders for a period of at least five business days, and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not file any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to which any underwriter, Initial Purchaser or selling
Holder shall reasonably object within five business days after the receipt of such Registration Statement or Prospectus. A selling Holder or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration
Statement, Prospectus, amendment or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission; 
 promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus, (a) provide copies of such document to the selling Holders and to the
underwriter(s), if any, (b) make the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ representatives available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters; provided that such discussion and due diligence
shall be coordinated on behalf of the selling Holders by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such selling Holders and (c) include such information in such document prior to the filing of such document as such selling Holders or
underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request 
  

 11 








 make available at reasonable times for inspection by the selling Holders, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by such selling Holders or any of the underwriter(s), if any, at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all
relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and cause the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ officers, directors and employees to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness; provided, however, that such
persons shall first agree in writing with the Company that any information that is reasonably and in good faith designated by the Company in writing as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such
persons, unless and to the extent that (i) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (ii) disclosure of such information is required by
law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities laws in connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus), (iii) such information becomes generally available to the public
other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard such information by such person or (iv) such information becomes available to such person from a source other than the Company and its Subsidiaries and such source is not bound by a
confidentiality agreement; 
 if requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without
limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities, information with respect to the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price
being paid for Transfer Restricted Securities and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as
practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this
Section 6(c)(vii) that would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate applicable law; 
 furnish to each
underwriter, if any, the Initial Purchaser and upon request to the Company to a selling Holder without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including,
upon the request of such Person, all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits to the extent requested (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference); 
 deliver to each selling Holder, each of the underwriter(s), if any, and the Initial Purchaser, without charge, as many copies of the

use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the
terms thereof and with U.S. Federal securities laws and Blue Sky laws covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
 enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings of securities of this type) and take all such other reasonable actions in
connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, all as may be reasonably requested by any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities or the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with any sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement; and whether or not an underwriting agreement is
entered into and whether or not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of such Transfer Restricted Securities and the
underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including with respect to businesses or assets acquired or to be acquired by any of them), and the Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if

and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company or any such
subsidiary for which financial statements and financial data is, or is required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed (where reasonably possible) to each selling Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities and each of the
underwriters, if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings; (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into,
the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable to the selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, than those set forth in Section 8 hereof (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement 

  

 13 








 
and the underwriters, if any); and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold and the underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any
customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. 
 If at any time
the representations and warranties of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors contemplated in clause (i) above cease to be true and correct, the Company shall so advise the Initial Purchaser and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling
Holder promptly and, if requested by any of them, shall confirm such advice in writing; 
 prior to any public offering of
Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with and cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification (or exemption
from such registration or qualification) of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in writing and do
any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions
relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject; 
 if a Shelf Registration is
filed pursuant to Section 2(b), cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing Underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities 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 Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names
as the managing Underwriters, if any, or Holders may reasonably request; 
 in connection with any sale or transfer of
Transfer Restricted Securities that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with and cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such
names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two business days prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such underwriter(s); 
  

 14 








 use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers of such Transfer Restricted Securities or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the
disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in clause (xi) above; 
 if any fact
or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) of this Agreement shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 provide a CUSIP
number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities that are in a form eligible
for deposit with The Depository Trust Company; 
 cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD and in
the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any “qualified independent underwriter” that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD); and 
 otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission in regards to any Registration
Statement, and make generally available to its securityholders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earning statement of the Company meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited) for the twelve-month period (A) commencing
at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or reasonable best efforts Underwritten Offering or (B) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the
first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement. 
 Each Holder
agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) of this Agreement, such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xv) of this Agreement, or
until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If
so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) 

  

 15 








 
all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was
current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event that the Company shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable,
shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) of this Agreement to and including the date when each selling Holder covered by such
Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xv) of this Agreement or shall have received the Advice. 
 REGISTRATION EXPENSES 
 All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s and the Subsidiary
Guarantors’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses

 16 








 INDEMNIFICATION 
 The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Initial Purchaser, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities and each Participating Broker Dealer, (ii) each
person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (any of the persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a
“controlling person”) and (iii) the agents, employees, officers and directors and the agents, employees, officers and directors of any such controlling person (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and
against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and reasonable expenses whatsoever (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all reasonable amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the 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; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person relating to such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors may otherwise have,
including, but not limited to, under this Agreement. 
 In connection with any Registration Statement pursuant to which a Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities offers or sells Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and any person
controlling the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors to
each Indemnified Person but only with respect to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement. In any such case in which any action shall be brought against
the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, any director or officer of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or any person controlling the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor based on such Registration Statement and in respect of which indemnity may be
sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (except that if the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have assumed the defense thereof,
such Holder shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Holder), and the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, their 

  

 17 








 
respective directors and officers and any person controlling the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the rights and duties given to the Indemnified
Persons by Section 8(a) hereof. 
 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice
of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding (collectively, an “Action”), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, promptly notify each
party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement of such Action (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under this
Section 8 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may otherwise have). In case any such Action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an
indemnifying party of the commencement of such Action, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense of such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own
counsel in any such Action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in
connection with the defense of such Action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such Action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Action, or (iii) such
indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them that are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying
parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. In no event shall the
indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all indemnified parties in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related
Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or Action effected
without its written consent; provided, however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld. 
 In order to provide for
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable from the indemnifying party, or is insufficient to hold harmless a party
indemnified under this Section 8, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Indemnified Parties shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification
provision (including any reasonable investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any Action or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses suffered by the indemnifying party, any contribution received by the indemnifying party, from persons other than the indemnified party who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the indemnified party within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or 

  

 18 








 
Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) to which the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Indemnified Parties may be subject, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, from the offering of the Old Notes or, if such allocation is not permitted by
applicable law or indemnification is not available as a result of the indemnifying party not having received notice as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 8, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the
offering of Old Notes (net of discounts but before deducting expenses) received by the Company as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, 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, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Indemnified Parties and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraph (d) of this Section 8, (i) in no case shall an Indemnified Party be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Indemnified Party with respect to its sale of its
Transfer Restricted Securities or New Notes, as the case may be, exceeds the amount of any damages that such Indemnified Party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and
(ii) 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 paragraphs
(d) and (e) of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Indemnified Party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Indemnified Party, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or
the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 8(e). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any Action against such party in respect of
which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under paragraphs 8(d) or (e) of this Section 8, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or
parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section 8 or otherwise. No party shall be liable for contribution with
respect to any Action or claim settled without its written consent; provided, however, that such written consent was not unreasonably withheld. 
  

 19 








 RULE 144A 
 The Company shall use its best efforts, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale of such
securities and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to Rule 144A. 
 PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS 
 No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration under this Agreement unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Persons entitled under this Agreement to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorneys, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other
documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS 
 The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities
in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, that such investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
in this Agreement, in the Indenture, the Purchase Agreement or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate. 
 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement
with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement. The Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any
registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person. The rights granted to the Holders under this Agreement do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities
under any agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement. 
  

 20 








 Adjustments Affecting the Notes. Without the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to such Transfer Restricted Securities that would materially
and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer. 
 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 of this Agreement may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding
principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions of this Agreement that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold or tendered
pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being sold or tendered pursuant to such Registration Statement may be given by the Holders of a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being so sold or tendered.

communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivering, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), facsimile transmission or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:
