Section 2. Demand Registration Rights. 
 (a) During the Effective Period, the Holders representing a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities may request, by written notice to the Trust (the “Demand
Notice”), that the Trust effect the registration under the Securities Act of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (each a “Demand
Registration”). Following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration, the Trust shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement as promptly as practicable and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof. All Demand Notices made pursuant to this Section 2 will specify the number of Registrable
Securities to be registered, whether or not such Registration Statement should be a Shelf Registration Statement, and the intended methods of disposition thereof. 
 The Holders shall be entitled to a maximum of five Demand Registrations, which shall include (i) any Demand Registrations for registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) any
Demand Registrations that are transferred to a Transferee in accordance with Section 9(d) hereof. No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 2(a) if the Registration Statement
relating thereto does not become effective or is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to Section 2(d). 
 (b) Within ten days after receipt by the Trust of a Demand Notice, the Trust will give notice to the other Holders of such Demand Registration. Such notice shall describe such securities and specify the
form, manner and other relevant aspects of such proposed registration. Each Holder may, by written response delivered to the Trust within twenty days after the receipt by such Holder of any such notice, request that all or a specified part of the
Registrable Securities held by such Holder be included in such Demand Registration (a “Piggyback Registration”). Such response shall also specify the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities. The Trust
thereupon will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Trust has been so requested to register by the Holders to the extent required to permit the disposition
(in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered. No registration of Registrable Securities of the Holders effected by Piggyback Registration under this Section 2(b) shall
relieve the Trust of any of its obligations to effect registrations of Registrable Securities of the Holders pursuant to, or reduce the total number of Demand Registrations to which the Holders continue to remain entitled under,
Section 2(a) hereof. 

  
 4 







 (c) If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to
be sold in a firm commitment underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Holders of such securities in writing that in its view the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in
such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering (including, without limitation, securities proposed to be included by other Holders of Registrable Securities entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement
pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights), then there shall be included in such firm commitment underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold
without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows: 
 (i) first, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration for which the Demand Notice was submitted; and 

(ii) second, the securities for which inclusion in any Piggyback Registration for which a notice was submitted in
accordance with this Agreement pro rata among the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration. 
 (d) The Trust shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration for a period of at least ninety days (or three
years if a Shelf Registration Statement is requested) after the effective date thereof or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have actually been sold or all Registrable Securities have
ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the holder of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such registration
at the request of the Trust pursuant to this Agreement, except that with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 that becomes effective automatically pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act, such period may not be extended
beyond three years after the effective date thereof or such shorter or longer period as may be subsequently permitted by the SEC. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trust shall furnish to the Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 2 within 30 days of receiving such request a certificate signed
by the Trust stating that in the good faith judgment of the Trustee it would be detrimental to the Trust and its unitholders for such Registration Statement to be filed and it is therefore beneficial to defer the filing of such Registration
Statement, the Trust shall have the right to defer such filing for up to two periods of not more than 30 days each after receipt of each request of the Holders; provided, however, that the Trust may not use this right more than once
(for a total of up to 60 days) in any 12-month period. If the Trust shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, the demanding Holders shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Trust
within 20 days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as provided in the certificate delivered by the Trust, and in the event of such withdrawal, such request shall not reduce the number of available registrations with
respect to the Holders under this Section 2 

  
 5 







 Section 3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration obligations
of the Trust under Section 2 hereof, during the Effective Period, the Trust shall: 
 (a) Prepare and file with the
SEC, no later than 45 days after receiving the Demand Notice, a Registration Statement or Registration Statements, including, if so requested by the applicable Holders, a Shelf Registration Statement, on any appropriate form under the Securities Act
available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become
effective as promptly as practicable after filing and remain effective as provided herein; provided that before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto with the SEC (but excluding reports filed
with the SEC under the Exchange Act), furnish to the Holders, the Special Counsel and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed at least five Business Days prior to the filing of such
Registration Statement or amendment thereto or Prospectus or supplement thereto. 
 (b) Subject to Section 3(j),
prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any
similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to the Trust with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement during the period provided herein with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such
Registration Statement as so amended or such Prospectus as so supplemented. 
 (c) Subject to Section 3(j), from and
after the date a Registration Statement is declared effective, the Trust shall, as promptly as practicable after the date the Required Information is delivered pursuant to Section 4 hereof and in accordance with this
Section 3(c): 
 (i) if required by applicable law, file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to
the Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by applicable law, file a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that the
Holder delivering such Required Information is named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with applicable law and, if the Trust shall file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the
Securities Act as promptly as is practicable; and 
 (ii) provide such Holder copies of any documents filed
pursuant to Section 3(c)(i); 

  
 6 







 provided, that, if the Required Information is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Trust shall so
inform the Holder delivering such Required Information. The Trust shall notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 3(c)(i).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trust shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that has failed to deliver the Required Information in the manner set forth in Section 4 hereof as a selling
securityholder in any Registration Statement or related Prospectus. 
 (d) As promptly as practicable, give notice to the
Holders, the Special Counsel and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, (i) when any Prospectus, Registration Statement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC and, with respect to a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has been declared effective, (ii) of any request, following the effectiveness of any Registration Statement under the Securities Act, by the SEC or any other federal
or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or related Prospectus, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Trust of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of, but not the nature of or details concerning, a Material Event and
(vi) of the determination by the Trust that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement will be filed with the SEC, which notice may, at the discretion of the Trust (or as required pursuant to Section 3(j)), state that it
constitutes a Deferral Notice, in which event the provisions of Section 3(j) shall apply. 
 (e) Use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
in any jurisdiction in which they have been qualified for sale, in either case as promptly as practicable, and provide prompt notice to each Holder of the withdrawal of any such order. 

(f) If requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an
underwritten offering, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters, if any, and such Holders may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of
such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Trust has received such request; provided, however, that the Trust shall not be required to
take any actions under this Section 3(f) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Trust, in compliance with applicable law. 
 (g) As promptly as practicable furnish to each Holder, the Special Counsel and each managing underwriter, if any, upon request, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto, including exhibits and, if requested, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

 (h) Deliver to each Holder, the Special Counsel and each managing underwriter, if any, in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement as many copies of the Prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities (including each preliminary Prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
Persons may reasonably request; and the Trust hereby consents (except during such periods that a Deferral Notice is outstanding and has not been revoked and subject to Section 3(j)(ii) hereof) to the use of such Prospectus or each
amendment or supplement thereto by each Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection with any offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in the manner set forth therein.

 (i) Prior to any public offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, use commercially
reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders, the Special Counsel and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing (which request may be included with the Required Information);
prior to any public offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period provided
herein with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement in connection with such Holder’s offer and sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom)
and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities in the manner set forth in the relevant Registration Statement and the related Prospectus;
provided that neither the Trust nor the Trustee will be required to (i) qualify as a foreign entity or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Agreement or
(ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
 (j) Upon (A) the issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to any Registration Statement under
Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact as a result of which (x) any Registration Statement shall 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 not misleading, or (y) any Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Material Event”), or (C) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate
development of the Trust that, in the reasonable discretion of the Trustee, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, the Trust shall:

if necessary pursuant to applicable law, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document that would be
incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and Prospectus so

therein not misleading, and such Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the

(ii) below, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as practicable; and 
 (ii) give notice to the Holders and the Special Counsel, if any, that the availability of any Registration Statement is suspended (a “Deferral Notice”) and, upon receipt of any

 The Trust
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (A) above, as promptly as is practicable, (y) in the case of clause (B) above, as soon as, in the sole
judgment of the Trustee, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Trust or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as practicable thereafter, and (z) in the
case of clause (C) above, as soon as, in the reasonable discretion of the Trustee, such suspension is no longer appropriate. The Trust shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend the availability of
any Registration Statement or any Prospectus (the “Deferral Period”) for use by any Holder.

Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

Holder, the Special Counsel and any underwriters participating in any disposition of Registrable Securities in any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) in connection with the
filing or effectiveness of any Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto or any offer or sale of Trust Units thereunder.

 Section 4. Holder’s Obligations. 

(a) Each Holder agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and related
Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance with this Section 4 and Section 3(j) hereof. The Trust may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Trust in
writing such information required in connection with such registration regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Trust may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing (the “Required
Information”) and the Trust may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any seller who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. In addition, following the date that a
Registration Statement is declared effective, each Holder wishing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and related Prospectus agrees to deliver, at least seven Business Days prior to any intended distribution of
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, to the Trust any additional Required Information as the Trust may reasonably request so that the Trust may complete or amend the information required by any Registration Statement. 

(b) Each Holder agrees, by acquisition of the Registrable Securities, that no Holder shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto unless such Holder has furnished the Trust with the Required Information as required pursuant to this Section 4 and the information set forth in
the next sentence. Each Holder agrees promptly to furnish to the Trust all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Trust by such Holder not misleading and any other information regarding such
Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Trust may from time to time reasonably request. Any sale of any Registrable Securities by any Holder shall constitute a representation and warranty by such Holder that the information
relating to such Holder and its plan of distribution is as set forth in 

  
 11 








 
the Prospectus delivered by such Holder in connection with such disposition, that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to
or provided by such Holder or its plan of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale omit to state any material fact relating to or provided by such Holder or its plan of distribution necessary in order to make the
statements in such Prospectus relating to or provided by such Holder, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

listed. However, the Trust shall pay the internal expenses of the Trustee (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and annual reserve
report and the other fees and expenses of the accountants and independent reserve engineers for the Trust not covered by clause (v) of the preceding sentence, the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Trust
and the fees and expenses of any transfer agent for the Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay its own selling expenses, including any underwriting
discounts and commissions, all registration expenses to the extent required by applicable law and, except as otherwise provided herein, fees and expenses of such seller’s counsel. 

Section 6. Indemnification and Contribution. 
 (a) Indemnification by the Trust. The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Holder and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any Holder within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with defending or 

  
 12 








 
investigating any such action or claim) (“Expenses”) to which the Company, any Holder or any controlling Person of the Company or any Holder may become subject, under or
with respect to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or state securities law or otherwise, insofar as such Expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement at the date and time as of which such Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, but in each case only with respect to written
information relating to the Trust furnished by or on behalf of the Trust specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. Subject to Section 6(e) of this Agreement, the Trust shall reimburse the
Company, the Holders and any controlling Persons thereof for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, the Holders or any controlling Persons thereof in connection with the investigation or defense of any Expenses with respect
to which the Company and the Holders or any controlling Persons thereof is entitled to indemnity by the Trust under this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no indemnification obligations under this Agreement, or any liability for failure of the Trust
to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder (other than the Company), the Trust and the Trustee and any agents thereof, individually and as trustee, as the case may be, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder, the Trust or the Trustee within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any Expenses to which such Holder, the Trust, the Trustee or any agent thereof or any controlling Person of such Holder, the Trust or the Trustee
may become subject, under or with respect to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or state securities law or otherwise, insofar as such Expenses are caused by (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Registration Statement or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading at the date and time as of which such Registration Statement
was declared effective by the SEC, (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary Prospectus or any Prospectus or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the date of such preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus and as of the closing of the sale of Trust Units sold thereunder or
(iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any other filing, report or other action taken with respect to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state securities law, the listing
of the Trust Units on the New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to and shall not indemnify the Holders (other than the Company), the Trustee or any agents or controlling Persons thereof, individually or as trustee, as the case may be, in any
such case under the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 6(b) to the extent that any such Expense arises out of, is based upon or is connected with information relating to (a) the Trustee in its individual
capacity or (b) such Holder, in either case prepared or furnished by the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus


  
 13 








 
or any Prospectus; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to the Holders (other than the Company), the Trustee or any agents or controlling Persons thereof,
individually or as trustee, as the case may be, in any such case under the preceding clause (iii) of this Section 6(b) to the extent that any such Expense arises out of, is based upon or is connected with information relating to
(a) the Trustee in its individual capacity prepared or furnished by the Trustee and the Trustee is found liable or (b) such Holder prepared or furnished by such Holder and such Holder is found liable. Subject to Section 6(e) of
this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse the Holders (other than the Company), the Trust and the Trustee and any agents or controlling Persons thereof for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Holders (other than the Company),
the Trust and the Trustee or any agent or controlling Persons thereof in connection with the investigation or defense of any Expenses with respect to which the Holders (other than the Company), the Trust and the Trustee or any agent or controlling
Persons thereof is entitled to indemnity by the Company under this Agreement. 
 (c) Indemnification by Certain of the
Holders. Each Holder (other than the Company), severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trust, the Trustee and any agents thereof, individually and as trustee, and any other Holder and each Person, if any,
who controls the Company, the Trust, the Trustee and any agents thereof, individually and as trustee, or any other Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any
and all Expenses to which the Company, the Trust, the Trustee and any agents thereof, individually and as trustee, any other Holder or any controlling Person of the Company, the Trust, the Trustee and any agents thereof, individually and as trustee,
or any other Holder may become subject, under or with respect to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or state securities law or otherwise, insofar as such Expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement at the date and time as of which such Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, but
in each case only with respect to written information relating to such Holder (other than the Company) furnished by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. Subject to
Section 6(e) of this Agreement, such Holder shall reimburse the Company, the Trust, the Trustee and any agents thereof, individually and as trustee, the other Holders and any agents or controlling Persons thereof for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, the Trust, the Trustee and any agents thereof, individually and as trustee, the other Holders or any agent or controlling Persons thereof in connection with the investigation or defense of any Expenses
with respect to which the Company, the Trust, the Trustee and any agents thereof, individually and as trustee, and the other Holders or any agent or controlling Persons thereof is entitled to indemnity by such Holder under this Agreement.

 (d) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be
instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 6(a), 6(b) or 6(c) hereof, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the 

  
 14 








 
Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any
such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall
have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, other than solely by virtue of the rights and obligations of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party under this Section 6. It is
understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant
to Section 6(a), the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement held by Holders that are indemnified parties pursuant to Section 6(a) and, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c), the Trustee. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a
final, non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 
 (e) Contribution. To the extent that the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a), 6(b) or 6(c) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of
any Expenses referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Expenses
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties on the other hand or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party or Indemnifying Parties on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the other Holders on the one hand and the Trust 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 required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements (in the case of a preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, relates to information supplied by the Company, the other Holders or by the Trust, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The
Holders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Securities they have sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, and not joint. 

  
 15 








 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 6(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by
an Indemnified Party as a result of the 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. 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. 
 (f) The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an Indemnified Party at law or in equity, hereunder or otherwise. 
 (g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement,
(ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder, any Person controlling the Company or any other Holder or any Affiliate of the Company or any other Holder or by or on behalf of the Trustee, its officers or directors or any Person
controlling the Trustee and (iii) the sale of any Registrable Securities by any Holder. 
 Section 7. Information
Requirements. The Trust covenants that, if at any time before the end of the Effective Period the Trust is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it will cooperate with any Holder and take such further reasonable action
as any Holder may reasonably request in writing (including, without limitation, making such reasonable representations as any such Holder may reasonably request), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable
Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act and customarily taken in connection with sales pursuant to such exemptions. Upon the written
request of any Holder, the Trust shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether the Trust has complied with such filing requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the
Trust to register any of the Trust’s securities under any section of the Exchange Act. 
 Section 8. Underwritten
Registrations. The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities to an underwriter in an underwritten offering for reoffering to the public. If any of the
Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the


  
 16 








 
Holders of a majority of such Registrable Securities included in such offering, subject to the consent of the Trust (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and such Holders shall
be responsible for all underwriting commissions and discounts and any transfer taxes in connection therewith. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s
Registrable Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

Section 9. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the
provisions hereof may not be given, without the written consent of the Trust, the Company and the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect
to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended by written agreement signed by the Trust, without the consent of the Holders of Registrable Securities, to cure any ambiguity or to correct or
supplement any provision contained herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 9(a), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable
Securities or is delivered to such Holder. 
 (b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, by facsimile, by courier guaranteeing overnight delivery or by first-class mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed given (i) when made, if made by hand delivery, (ii) upon
confirmation, if made by facsimile, (iii) one Business Day after being deposited with such courier, if made by overnight courier or (iv) on the date indicated on the notice of receipt, if made by first-class mail, to the parties as

 (c) Approval of Holders.
Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Trust or its Affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (other
than the Company or subsequent Holders if such Holders are deemed to be such Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders
of such required percentage. 
 (d) Successors and Transferees. Any Person or group of Persons who purchases any
Registrable Securities from the Company or otherwise holds any Registrable Securities as a result of any sale, liquidation, dividend or distribution by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed, for purposes of this Agreement, to be a
transferee of the Company, but if and 

  
 18 








 
only if such Person or group (i) agrees to be designated as a transferee, (ii) is specifically designated as a transferee in writing by the Company to the Trust and (iii) in the
case of a group, such group shall collectively constitute a Transferee for purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation, for purposes of exercising any Demand Registration right transferred by the Company to such group) (a
“Transferee”). This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon such Transferees, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable
Securities in violation of the terms thereof. If the Company designates any Person as a Transferee in accordance with this Section 9(d), then the Registrable Securities acquired by such Transferee shall be held subject to all of the
terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities, such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled
to receive the benefits hereof. 
 (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

(f) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof. 
 (g) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF DELAWARE. 
 (h) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held to
be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, and the parties
hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction, it being intended that all of the
rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 (i) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter
contained herein and the registration rights granted by the Trust with respect to the Registrable Securities. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein, with respect to the
registration rights granted by the Trust with respect to the Registrable Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings among the parties with respect to such registration rights. No party hereto shall have any rights,
duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth in this Agreement. 
 (j) Termination. This Agreement and
the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate upon the end of the Effective Period, except for any liabilities or obligations under Section 4, 5 or 6 hereof, each of which shall remain in effect in accordance
with its terms. 

  
 19 








 (k) Specific Enforcement; Venue. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each
would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the other in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party shall be entitled to seek an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other and to enforce this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof specifically against the other, in addition to any other remedy to which such aggrieved party may be
entitled at law or in equity. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any rights arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against any of the parties in the FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF
DELAWARE and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to
in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world. 
 (l) Limitation of Liability. It is
expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Trustee not individually or personally, but solely as Trustee on behalf of the Trust and (ii) under no circumstances shall the
Trustee be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under this Agreement.
