“Holder”) whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities. 
 SECTION 3. Registered Exchange Offer. 

(a) Unless the Company shall reasonably determine that it is not permitted to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to Consummate
the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 6(a) hereof, the Company shall (i) cause to be filed with the Commission as soon as
practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 120 days after the Closing Date (or if such 120th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act relating to the Exchange Securities and the Exchange Offer, (ii) use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective at the earliest possible time, but in no event later than 180 days
after the Closing Date (or if such 

  
 3 













 
180th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, file (A) all pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Registration
Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) cause all filings in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Securities to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange
Securities to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit resales of Initial Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof. 

(b) 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 after the date
notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement. The Company 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 30
days after such date (or if such 30th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 
 (c) The Company shall indicate in a
“Plan of Distribution” or similar section contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer, who holds Initial Securities 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 Initial Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer;
provided, however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resales of the Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” or similar section shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such
“Plan of Distribution”, or similarly titled section, shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Initial Securities 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 shall use its best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as
a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the


  
 4 













 
Commission as announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and
(ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities. 

The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time
during such 180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales. 

SECTION 4. Shelf Registration. 

(a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company reasonably determines that it is not permitted 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 (subject to the requirements of Section 6(a) hereof), (ii) for any other reason the Exchange Offer is not
Consummated within 210 days after the Closing Date (or if such 210th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), or (iii) with respect to any Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities (A) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, or (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities 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) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Securities acquired
directly from the Company or one of its affiliates, then the Company shall: 
 (x) use its best efforts to prepare and cause
to be filed with the Commission a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on
or prior to the earliest to occur of (1) in the case of clause (i) above, the 45th day after the date on which the Company determines that it is not permitted to file the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, (2) in the case of clause (ii) above, the 210th day after the Closing Date (or if such 210th day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) and (3) in the case of clause (iii) above, the 45th day after the date on which the Company receives notice from such a Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities (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) hereof; and 
 (y) use its best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to
be declared effective by the Commission on or before the day after the Shelf Filing Deadline (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 

The Company shall use its best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required
by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and
to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from 

  
 5 













 
time to time, for a period of at least two years following the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Initial Securities covered
by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement). 
 (b) 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 as the Company may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or
preliminary Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously
furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. 
 SECTION 5. Additional Interest. 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 by the Company within the time period set forth in this Agreement, or
(iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but thereafter the Commission shall have issued a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, or proceedings have been initiated with respect to the Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a
“Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately
following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such increase exceed 1.00% per annum (as
applicable, the “Additional Interest”). Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities will be reduced to
the original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer
Restricted Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions. 
 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 security shall
have been satisfied in full. 
 SECTION 6. Registration Procedures. 

(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall comply with all of the provisions
of Section 6(c) hereof, shall use its best efforts 

  
 6 













 
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: 
 (i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company there is a question as to whether the
Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such
Initial Securities. The Company hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a 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 staff an analysis prepared by 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 favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such submission. 

(ii) 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 thereof, 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, (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 Exchange
Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities 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. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer
(1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings
Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale
transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company. 

(b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall comply with all the provisions
of Section 6(c) hereof and shall use its 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 thereof, and pursuant
thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the
Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof. 

  
 7 













 (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any
Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus required to permit resales of Initial Securities by
Broker-Dealers), the Company shall: 
 (i) use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective
and provide all requisite financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 hereof, 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 file promptly 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), use its 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; 
 (ii) prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof,
as applicable, 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 Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or
supplement to the Prospectus; 
 (iii) advise the underwriter(s), if any, and 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 a Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the 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 or (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in a Registration Statement, Prospectus, any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in a Registration 

  
 8 













 
Statement or Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a 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 shall use
its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time; 
 (iv) furnish via e-mail or other delivery method as determined by the Company without charge to each of the representatives of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement, each selling Holder named
in any Registration Statement and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein 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 review and comment of such Holders and underwriter(s) in connection with such sale, if
any, for a period of at least two Business Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus to which an Initial Purchaser of Transfer
Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object in writing within two Business Days after the receipt thereof (such objection to be deemed timely made upon confirmation of telecopy
transmission within such period). The objection of an Initial Purchaser or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains a
material misstatement or omission; 
 (v) upon request, promptly provide copies of any document that is to be incorporated by
reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus to the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement and to the underwriter(s), if any, and make the Company’s representatives available for discussion of such
document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, reasonably may request; 

(vi) make available at reasonable times, for inspection by the Initial Purchasers, the managing underwriter(s), if any,
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by such Initial Purchasers or any of the underwriter(s) (each, an “Inspector”), all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness and to participate in meetings with investors to the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any; records that
the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to


  
 9 













 
the Company if the Company shall so request) unless (x) the disclosure of such records is necessary, in the Inspector’s judgment based upon the advice of counsel, to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement, (y) the release of such records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) the information in such records has been made generally
available to the public; and each Initial Purchaser agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, if legally permitted, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the
Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the records deemed confidential; 
 (vii) 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 or
underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution”, or similarly titled section, 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 therefor 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; 

(viii) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least
one copy of any Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated by reference therein and if requested, all exhibits (including
exhibits incorporated therein by reference); 
 (ix) deliver to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any,
without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; the Company hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto 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 covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 

(x) in the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement), and make
such representations and warranties, and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this
Agreement, all to such extent as may be requested by any Initial Purchaser or by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any Shelf 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 shall: 

  
 10 













 (A) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each
underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as they may request and as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the date of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement: 

(1) a certificate, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, signed by (y) the President or
any Vice President and (z) a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company or Treasurer of the Company, confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(e) of the
Purchase Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably request; 
 (2) an opinion, dated the date of
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, of counsel for the Company, covering the matters set forth in Section 5(c) of and Exhibit A to the Purchase Agreement and such other matter as such parties may reasonably request, and in any
event including a statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company, representatives of the
underwriter(s), if any, and counsel to the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the preparation of such Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and have considered the matters required to be stated therein and the statements
contained therein, although such counsel has not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel advises that, on the basis of the foregoing, nothing has come to such counsel’s attention
that caused such counsel to believe that the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, at the time such Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact required to be stated herein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, that the Prospectus contained in such Shelf Registration Statement as of its date contained an untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no
responsibility for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial information included in any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this
Agreement or the related Prospectus; and 
 (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily requested to be covered in comfort letters by underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings,
and covering or affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Purchase Agreement, without exception; 

  
 11 













 (B) set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting
agreement, if any, the indemnification provisions and procedures of Section 8 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section; and 

(C) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties to evidence compliance with
Section 6(c)(x)(A) hereof and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to this Section 6(c)(x), if any. 

If at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contemplated in Section 6(c)(x)(A)(1) hereof cease to be
true and correct, the Company shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such advice in writing; 

(xi) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if
any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, may
request 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 the Company shall not
be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the
Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

the proviso contained in Section 6(c)(xi) hereof; 
 (xv) if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D)
hereof shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of
the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute, and use its best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such

 13 













 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) hereof, 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) hereof, 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) 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 the Company shall give any such
notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, 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) hereof 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) hereof or shall have received the Advice; provided, however, that no such extension shall be taken into account in determining whether Additional Interest is due pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the amount of such
Additional Interest, it being agreed that the Company’s option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5 hereof. 

SECTION 7. Registration Expenses. 

(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s 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 (including filings made by any Initial Purchaser or Holder with FINRA (and, if applicable, the fees and
expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel that may be required by the rules and regulations of FINRA)); (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue sky laws;
(iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company and, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Exchange Securities on a securities exchange or automated
quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to
such performance). 
 The Company will, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses
of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company. 

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of 

  
 14 













 
Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution”, or similarly titled section, contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared. 
 SECTION 8. Indemnification. 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and each Initial Purchaser, (ii) each Person, if any, who
controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder or any Initial Purchaser (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a
“Holder controlling person”) and (iii) their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder, any Initial Purchaser or any Holder controlling person (any Person referred to in clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation,
and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by (x) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information relating to any of the Holders, or information relating to any Initial Purchaser, furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders or by any of the Initial Purchasers, respectively, expressly for use therein, or
(y) use of a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus during a period when a stop order has been issued in respect of such Registration Statement or any proceedings for that purpose have been initiated; provided, that Holders or
the Initial Purchasers, as applicable, received prior notice of such stop order or initiation of proceedings, and; provided, further, that the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Holders or the Initial Purchasers, as applicable,
actually received such notice before any Holder or any Initial Purchaser loses its right to indemnification hereunder, which burden shall have been satisfied by showing that the Company delivered such notice in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. 
 In case any action or
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Indemnified Holder (or the
Indemnified Holder controlled by such Holder controlling person) shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement. Such Indemnified Holder shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall 

  
 15 













 
be paid, as incurred, by the Company (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Holder is not entitled to indemnification hereunder); provided, further, that
such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated by
the Holders. The Company shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected with the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Company. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of
each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim,
litigation or proceeding. 
 (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless (i) the Company and its directors, officers of the Company who sign a Registration Statement, (ii) any Initial Purchaser, (iii) any Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or any Initial Purchaser (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (iii) being hereinafter referred to as a “Company controlling person”) and (iv) their respective officers,
directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to claims and actions based on information
relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company or its directors or officers or any such Company controlling person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company, and the Company, its directors and officers and such Company controlling person shall have
the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph. 
 (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to
therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross
proceeds to the Company from the Initial Placement), the amount of Additional Interest which did not become payable as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments actions or
expenses, and such Registration Statement, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative 

  
 16 













 
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnified Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. 

The Company and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none of the Holders
(and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities exceeds the amount of any damages
which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 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(c) are several in proportion to the respective principal
amount of Initial Securities held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint. 
 SECTION 9. Rule 144A. The Company hereby agrees
with each Holder, 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 thereof 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 Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act. 
 SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder
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 hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and
executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

  
 17 













 SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the 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(s) and managing underwriter(s) that will administer such
offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) must be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 
 SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Remedies. The Company hereby agrees 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 agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

(b) 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 hereof. The Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect
to its securities to any Person, other than any agreement under which the Company has no existing obligations to register any securities. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the
rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
 (c) Adjustments
Affecting the Securities. The Company will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the terms or provisions of the Transfer Restricted Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to
Consummate any Exchange Offer. 
 (d) 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, unless the Company has (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders of all
outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer
Restricted Securities held by the Company or its affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant
to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount
of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided, however, that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly adversely affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the
written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective.
