 2. Registration Under the Securities Act. 
 (a) Except as set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, and subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 2(a), if any Registrable Securities have not become Freely Tradable on or before the Free Trade Date,
the Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after the Free Trade Date, a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange (such
registration statement, the “Exchange Registration Statement”, and such offer, the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of the Registrable Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities issued by the Company and
guaranteed by the Guarantors, if any, which debt securities and guarantees are substantially identical to the Securities and any related Guarantees, respectively (and are entitled to the benefits of a trust indenture which is substantially identical
to the Indenture or is the Indenture and which has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and do not contain provisions for the
additional interest contemplated in Section 2(c) hereof (such new debt securities and any guarantees are hereinafter called “Exchange Securities”), (ii) cause the Exchange Registration Statement to become effective under the
Securities Act as soon as practicable thereafter, (iii) commence the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Registration Statement has become effective, (iv) hold the Exchange Offer open for at least 20 Business Days (or longer if
required by applicable law) after the date that notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to holders of Registrable Securities, (v) exchange Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn on
or prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer and (vi) complete the Exchange Offer promptly, but no later than 130 days after the Free Trade Date (unless the Exchange Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC, in which case within 190
days after the Free Trade Date). The Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Offer will be deemed
to have been “completed” only if the Exchange Securities received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of a substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. The Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon the
earlier to occur of (i) the Company having exchanged the Exchange Securities for all outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (ii) the Company having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange
Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the Exchange Offer, which shall 

  

 4 








 
be on a date that is at least 20 Business Days following the commencement of the Exchange Offer. The Company agrees (x) to include in the Exchange
Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the “Resale Period”) beginning when
Exchange Securities are first issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the 180th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed and such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With
respect to such Exchange Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Sections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof. The obligations of the Company set forth in
this Section 2(a) shall cease on the date on which any and all Registrable Securities become Freely Tradable. Each holder of Registrable Securities who participates in an Exchange Offer will be required to represent to the Company in writing
(which may be contained in the applicable letter of transmittal relating to such Exchange Offer) that it is not a Restricted Holder. 
 (b) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2(b), if any Registrable Securities have not become Freely Tradable on or before the Free Trade Date and (i) at or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is completed existing
Commission interpretations are changed such that the Exchange Securities received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder
without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 130 days after the Free Trade Date (unless the Exchange Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC, in which case within 190 days after the
Free Trade Date) or (iii) any holder of Registrable Securities is not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer, the Company shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by
Section 2(a) hereof, file under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after the time such obligation to file arises, a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a
continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the “Shelf Registration” and such registration statement, the
“Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts (x) to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective no later than 100 days after the time the obligation to
file a Shelf Registration Statement arises (unless such Shelf Registration Statement is reviewed by the Commission, in which case within 160 days of the date such obligation arises) and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously
effective for a period ending on the earlier of the first anniversary of the Effective Time of such Shelf Registration Statement and such time as all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have either been sold as
contemplated in the Shelf Registration Statement or have become Freely Tradable or shall cease to be outstanding under the Indenture; provided, however, that no holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the
Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder is an Electing Holder, and (y) after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, promptly upon the
request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, to take any action reasonably necessary to enable such holder to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities, including, without
limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement, provided, however, that nothing in this clause (y) shall relieve any such holder of the obligation to return a
completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii) hereof. The Company further agrees to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules,
regulations or instructions applicable to the 

  

 5 








 
registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder for shelf
registration, and the Company agrees to furnish to each Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to its being used or promptly following its filing with the Commission. The obligations of the Company set forth in this
Section 2(b) shall cease on the date on which all Registrable Securities become Freely Tradable. 
 (c) If any
Registrable Securities have not become Freely Tradable on or before the Free Trade Date (a “Registration Default” and the period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, the “Registration Default
Period”), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof, special interest (“Special Interest”), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue on the Registrable
Securities at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of 0.50% for the second 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of 0.75% for the third 90 days of the
Registration Default Period and at a per annum rate of 1.0% thereafter for the remaining portion of the Registration Default Period. The Registration Default Period shall terminate on the date on which (i) the Registrable Securities become
Freely Tradable or (ii) (A) the Exchange Registration Statement has been declared effective and the Exchange Offer has been completed or (B) the Shelf Registration Statement (if required pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof) has been
declared effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(c), Special Interest shall not accrue on any Registrable Security if the holder thereof failed to comply with its obligations to make the representations set forth
in Section 2(a) hereof or failed to provide the information required to be provided by it, if any, pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof. 
 (d) If a Shelf Registration Statement required pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof is declared effective but thereafter either is withdrawn by the Company or becomes subject to a stop order issued pursuant to
Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, Special Interest shall accrue at the rates specified in Section 2(c) hereof with respect to the date of such withdrawal or stop
order until (i) the date on which the Registrable Securities become Freely Tradable, (ii) a replacement Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared effective or (iii) the stop order is withdrawn. 
 (e) The Company shall take, and shall cause any Guarantors to take, all actions necessary or advisable to be taken to ensure that the
transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated, including all actions necessary or desirable to register any Guarantees under the registration statement contemplated in Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, as applicable. 

(f) Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to
be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by
reference as of such time. 
 (g) The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide an unrestricted CUSIP
to all Freely Tradable Securities. 
 3. Registration Procedures.

Registration, as the case may be, the Company shall qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Section 2(a) hereof (the “Exchange Registration”), if applicable, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (or as otherwise specified):

holding Exchange Securities with such number of copies of the prospectus included therein (as then amended or supplemented), in conformity in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder, as such broker-dealer reasonably may request prior to the expiration of the Resale Period, for use in connection with resales of Exchange Securities; 
 (iii) promptly notify each broker-dealer that has requested or received copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement,

Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (B) of any comments by the Commission and by the blue sky or securities commissioner or regulator of any state with respect thereto or any request by
the Commission for amendments or supplements to such Exchange Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration

 7 








 
such Exchange Registration Statement, prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment does not conform in all material respects to
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

of offers, sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions until the expiration of the Resale Period and (C) take any and all other actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each broker-dealer holding Exchange Securities to
consummate the disposition thereof in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required for any such purpose to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be

it and its stockholders;

not conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

Registrable Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of the Conduct Rules, including by (A) if the Conduct
Rules shall so require, engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in the Conduct Rules) to participate in the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities, to exercise usual

state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Each Electing Holder agrees that upon 

  

 14 








 
receipt of any notice from the Company pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof, or upon receipt of any notice from the Company of a Blackout Period
pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, such Electing Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Securities until (i) in the case of
such notice from the Company pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof, such Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by the Company, such Electing Holder shall deliver to the
Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Electing Holder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice and (ii) in the

be provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice and Questionnaire, the Company may require such Electing Holder to furnish to the Company such additional information regarding such Electing Holder and such Electing Holder’s intended method of
distribution of Registrable Securities as may be required in order to comply with the Securities Act. Each such Electing Holder agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished
by such Electing Holder to the Company or of the occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Electing
Holder or such Electing Holder’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable
Securities required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to the Company any additional information required to correct and update any
previously furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or the disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. 
 (g) Until the expiration of one year after the Closing Date, the Company will not, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) not to, resell any
of the Securities that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, the Company, upon notice to the Electing Holders that the prospectus in an effective Shelf Registration Statement is
unusable pending a material development, may suspend the use of such prospectus for a period of time (a “Blackout Period”) not to exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 12-month period; provided, however, that, upon the termination
of such Blackout Period, the Company promptly shall notify the Electing Holders that such Blackout Period has been terminated.

further amendments or supplements to any such registration statement or prospectus, when it becomes effective or is filed with the Commission, as the case may be, and, in the case of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, at the time of

contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be 

  

 16 








 
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and at all times subsequent to the Effective Time when a prospectus would be
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, other than from (i) such time as a notice has been given to holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)(F) or 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof until (ii) such time as the

Section 3(c) or 3(d) hereof, as then amended or supplemented, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; provided, however, that
this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by a holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein. 

(b) Any documents incorporated by reference in any prospectus referred to in Section 5(a) hereof, when they become or became
effective or are or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform or conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents will contain or
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and
warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by a holder of Registrable Securities, the placement or sales agent, if any, therefor or the
managing underwriters, if any, thereof, expressly for use therein. 
 (c) The compliance by the Company with all of the
provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a party or by which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is bound or to which any of the material

the Securities. 
 (d) This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company. 
 6. Indemnification. 
  

 17 








 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless
each of the holders of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement, each of the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement and each person who participates as a placement or sales
agent or as an underwriter in any offering or sale of such Registrable Securities against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder, agent or underwriter may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or
Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such holder,
Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse such holder, such Electing Holder, such agent and such underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such person expressly for use therein. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Holders and any Agents and
Underwriters. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof and to entering into any underwriting agreement with respect thereto, that the
Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the Electing Holder of such Registrable Securities and from each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, any Guarantors, and all other holders of Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, any Guarantors or such other holders of Registrable Securities may become subject,
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company and any
Guarantors for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and any Guarantors in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Electing
Holder shall be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder’s Registrable
Securities pursuant to such registration. 
  

 18 








 (c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof of written notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or
contemplated by this Section 6, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof,
such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action
or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an
unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
party. 
 (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or 6(b)
hereof are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party
and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such
indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any agents or underwriters or all of them 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 this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred
to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d),
no holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions
applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which such 

  

 19 








 
holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
underwriter 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’ and any underwriters’ obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the
principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint. 
 (e) The
obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and partner of each holder, agent and
underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any holder, agent or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the holders and any agents or underwriters contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition
to any liability which the respective holder, agent or underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in any
registration statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
 7. Underwritten Offerings. 
 (a) Selection of Underwriters. If any of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration are to be sold pursuant to an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering, provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably acceptable to the Company. 
 (b) Participation by Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with each other such holder that no such holder
may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such holder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis 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. 
 8. Rule 144. 
 The Company covenants
to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the
reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and shall take such further action as any holder of Registrable
Securities 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 limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar or 

  

 20 








 
successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that
holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
 9. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents,
warrants, covenants and agrees that it has not granted, and shall not grant, registration rights with respect to Registrable Securities or any other securities which would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement. 
 (b) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at
law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and
such holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction. 
 (c) Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, if delivered personally or by courier, or three days after being deposited in the mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows: If to the Company, to
it at 601 W. Riverside Avenue, Suite 1100, Spokane, Washington 99201, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, and if to a holder, to the address of such holder set forth in the security register or other records of the Company, or to such other address
as the Company or any such holder may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
