(iii)           
utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The

    -6-


     


    

 


(e)              
 The Registered Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that it does not violate any applicable
law or applicable interpretations of the Commission’s staff, the due tendering of Registrable Securities in accordance with the
Registered Exchange Offer and that no action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental
agency relating to the Exchange Offer which could reasonably be expected to impair the Issuer’s ability to proceed with the Exchange
Offer.


 


(f)               
The Initial Purchasers and the Issuer acknowledge that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff
of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, each Exchanging Dealer is required to deliver
a Prospectus in connection with a sale of any New Notes received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer in
exchange for Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. Accordingly,
the Issuer shall:


 


(i)                
include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in Annex
B hereto in the forepart of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in a section setting forth details of the Exchange Offer, in Annex
C hereto in the underwriting or plan of distribution section of the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
and in Annex D hereto in the Letter of Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer (it being understood that a Holder’s
participation in the Registered Exchange Offer is conditioned on the Holder, by executing and returning the Letter of Transmittal, representing
in writing to the Issuer as set forth in Rider B of Annex D hereto); and


 


(ii)             
use reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
Act during the Exchange Offer Registration Period for delivery by Exchanging Dealers in connection with sales of New Notes received pursuant
to the Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 5(h) below.


 


(g)              
In the event that any Purchaser determines that it is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer with
respect to the exchange of Original Notes constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, at the request of such Purchaser, the Issuer
shall issue and deliver to such Purchaser or the party purchasing New Notes registered under a Shelf Registration Statement as contemplated
by Section 3 hereof from such Purchaser, in exchange for such Original Notes, a like principal amount of New Notes, of the applicable
series. The Issuer shall seek to cause CUSIP Global Securities (formerly known as the CUSIP Service Bureau) to issue the same CUSIP number
for such New Notes as for New Notes issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer.


 


3.                  Shelf
Registration. If (i) the Issuer determines upon advice of outside counsel that a Registered Exchange Offer as contemplated by
Section 2 hereof may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last date for acceptance of Original Notes for exchange
because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Commission’s staff, or (ii) for any other
reason the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to the Target Registration Date, or (iii) any Purchaser so
requests with respect to Original Notes not eligible to be exchanged for New Notes in a Registered Exchange Offer (or any New Notes
received pursuant to Section 2(g)) or, in the case of any Purchaser that participates in any Registered Exchange Offer, such
Purchaser does not receive freely tradable New Notes, or (iv) any Holder (other than a Purchaser) is not eligible to
participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or (v) in the case of any such Holder that participates in the Registered Exchange
Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradable New Notes in exchange for tendered Original Notes, other than by reason of such
Holder being an affiliate of the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act (it being understood that, for purposes of this
Section 3, (1) the requirement that a Purchaser deliver a Prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 and/or 508 of
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act in connection with sales of New Notes acquired in exchange for such Original Notes shall
result in such New Notes being not “freely tradeable,” but (2) the requirement that an Exchanging Dealer deliver a
Prospectus in connection with sales of New Notes acquired in the Registered Exchange Offer in exchange for Original Notes acquired
as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities shall not result in such New Notes being not “freely
tradeable”), the following provisions shall apply:


 


(a)              
The Issuer shall as promptly as practicable file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause to become effective under the Securities Act, or, if permitted by Rule 430B under the Securities Act, otherwise designate an
existing registration statement filed with the Commission as, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the applicable
Registrable Securities, by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set
forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that, with respect to New Notes received by a Purchaser in
exchange for Original Notes constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Issuer may, if permitted by current interpretations by
the Commission’s staff, file a post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement containing the information
required by Regulation S-K Items 507 and/or 508, as applicable, in satisfaction of its obligations under this paragraph (a) with respect
thereto, and any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the provisions
herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement. Unless the Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement
(as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), the Issuer shall include therein the information required by Rule 430B(b)(2)(iii) under
the Securities Act.


 






    -7-


     


    

 


(b)               The
Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders until the Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement cease to be
Registrable Securities (such period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Issuer shall be deemed not
to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Registration Period if
the Issuer voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell
such securities during that period, unless (i) such action is required by applicable law or (ii) such action is taken by such party
in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the obligations of the Issuer hereunder), including the
acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as the Issuer promptly thereafter complies with the requirements of Section 5(k)
hereof, if applicable.


 





(c)              
The Issuer shall be entitled to suspend its obligation to file any amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish
any supplement or amendment to a Prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement or any free writing prospectus, make any other
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that would be incorporated by reference into a Shelf Registration Statement, cause
a Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective or the Prospectus or any free writing prospectus usable or take any similar action
(collectively, “Suspension Actions”) if there is a possible acquisition, disposition or business combination or other
transaction, business development or event involving the Issuer or its subsidiaries that may require disclosure in the Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus and the Issuer determines that such disclosure is not in the best interest of the Issuer and its stockholders
or obtaining any financial statements relating to any such acquisition or business combination required to be included in the Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus would be impracticable. Upon the occurrence of any of the conditions described in the foregoing sentence, the
Issuer shall give prompt notice of the delay or suspension (but not the basis thereof) to the Holders. Upon the termination or disclosure
of such condition, the Issuer shall promptly proceed with all Suspension Actions that were delayed or suspended and, if required, shall
give prompt notice to the Holders of the cessation of the delay or suspension (but not the basis thereof).

If a Registration Default occurs, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by the following amounts
(hereinafter referred to as “Additional Interest”): (A) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period beginning on the
day immediately following such Registration Default and (B) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period,
in each case until and including the date such Registration Default ends, provided that the maximum increase shall be 0.50% per
annum.


 


(b)              
A Registration Default ends when the securities subject to the applicable Registration Statement cease to be Registrable
Securities or, if earlier, (1) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (i) of the definition thereof, when the Registered Exchange
Offer is completed, (2) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration
Statement becomes effective, or (3) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (iii) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf
Registration Statement again becomes effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable.


 


5.

Offer Registration Statement, the following provisions shall apply:


 


(a)              
 (i) The Issuer shall furnish to you, prior to the filing or designation thereof with the Commission, a copy of any Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, each amendment thereof and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein and

statements therein not misleading and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement
to such Prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make

(c)              
(i) The Issuer shall advise you and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders of securities covered thereby,
and, if requested by you or any such Holder, confirm such advice in writing:


 


(1)              
when a Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed (or, in the case of a previously filed registration
statement designated as a Shelf Registration Statement, when it is so designated) with the Commission and when the Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective (or, in the case of a previously filed registration statement that is effective
at the time it is designated as a Shelf Registration Statement, when it is so designated); and

(3)              
of the happening of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus so
that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading (which advice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have
been made).


 


Each such Holder or Exchanging Dealer agrees by its acquisition
of such securities to be sold by such Holder or Exchanging Dealer, that, upon being so advised by the Issuer of any event described in
clause (3) of this paragraph (c)(ii), such Holder or Exchanging Dealer will forthwith discontinue disposition of such securities under
such Registration Statement or Prospectus, until such Holder’s or Exchanging Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented

(g)              
The Issuer shall furnish to each Exchanging Dealer which so requests, without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules and, if the Exchanging
Dealer so requests in writing, any documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto (including those incorporated
by reference therein).


 


(h)              
The Issuer shall, during the Exchange Offer Registration Period, promptly deliver to each Exchanging Dealer, without charge,
as many copies of the Prospectus included in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
Exchanging Dealer may reasonably request for delivery by such Exchanging Dealer in connection with a sale of New Notes received by it
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; and the Issuer hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto by any such Exchanging Dealer, as aforesaid.


 


(i)                
Prior to the Registered Exchange Offer or any other offering of securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, the Issuer
shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with
the registration or qualification of such securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as
any such Holder reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and
sale in such jurisdictions of the securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Issuer
will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which
would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.


 


(j)                
The Issuer shall cooperate with the Holders of Original Notes to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Original Notes to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations
and registered in such names as Holders may request prior to sales of securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.


 


(k)              
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph (c)(ii)(3) above, the Issuer shall promptly prepare a post-effective
amendment to any Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.


 






    -12-


     


    

 


(l)                
 Not later than the effective date (or the designation date, in the case of a previously filed registration statement that
is effective at the time it is designated as a Shelf Registration Statement) of any such Registration Statement hereunder, the Issuer
shall provide a CUSIP number for each of the Original Notes or the New Notes, as the case may be, registered under such Registration Statement,
and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for such Original Notes or New Notes, in a form, if requested by the applicable Holder
or Holder’s counsel, eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company or any successor thereto under the Indenture.


 


(m)            
The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission to
the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available
to the security holders of the Issuer a consolidated earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period commencing
after the effective date (or the designation date, in the case of a previously filed registration statement that is effective at the time
it is designated as a Shelf Registration Statement) of the Registration Statement and ending not later than fifteen (15) months thereafter,
as soon as practicable after the end of such period, which consolidated earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act.


 


(n)              
The Issuer shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, on or prior to the
effective date (or the designation date, in the case of a previously filed Registration Statement that is effective at the time it is
designated as a Shelf Registration Statement) of any Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement.


 


(o)              
The Issuer may require each Holder of securities to be sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the
Issuer in writing such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such securities as the Issuer may from time to time reasonably
require for inclusion in such Registration Statement. The Issuer may exclude from any such Registration Statement the securities of any
such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each Holder as to which any Shelf
Registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuer all information required to be disclosed in order to make the
information previously furnished to the Issuer by such Holder not materially misleading. Each Holder further agrees that neither such
Holder nor any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement on such Holder’s behalf
will make any offer relating to the securities to be sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement that would constitute an issuer
free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus”
(as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) required to be filed by the Issuer with the Commission or retained by the Issuer under
Rule 433 of the Securities Act, unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Issuer (and except for as otherwise provided in
any underwriting agreement entered into by the Issuer and any such underwriter).


 


(p)               The
Issuer shall, if requested, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration
Statement, such information as the Managing Underwriters, if any, and the Majority Holders reasonably agree should be included
therein and shall make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.


 






    -13-


     


    

 



 


(q)          
(i) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer shall enter into such agreements (including underwriting
agreements) and take all other appropriate actions reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition
of the Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification
provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 7 hereof (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable
to the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters, if any), with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 7 hereof.


 


(ii)             
Without limiting in any way paragraph (q)(i) above, no Holder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such Holder (x) agrees to sell such Holder’s securities to be covered by such registration on the basis provided in
any underwriting arrangements approved by the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters and (y) completes and executes in a timely
manner all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required by the Issuer
or the Managing Underwriters in connection with such underwriting arrangements.


 


(r)            In
the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of securities
to be registered thereunder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Issuer and its subsidiaries reasonably requested by such person; (ii) cause the officers, directors
and employees of the Issuer to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with any such Registration Statement as is customary for due diligence examinations in connection with
primary underwritten offerings; provided, however, that any information that is nonpublic at the time of delivery of such
information shall be kept confidential by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent, unless such disclosure
is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through
a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; (iii) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of
securities registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by an issuer to underwriters
in primary underwritten offerings; (iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Issuer (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance)
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any,
covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably
requested by such Holders and underwriters; (v) obtain “comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent certified
public accountants of the Issuer (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Issuer
or of any business acquired by the Issuer for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included or incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement), addressed to each selling Holder of securities registered thereunder and the underwriters,
if any, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with primary
underwritten offerings; and (vi) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders and the
Managing Underwriters, if any, including those to evidence compliance with Section 5(k) and with any customary conditions contained in
the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Issuer. The foregoing actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v)
and (vi) of this Section 5(r) shall be performed (A) on the effective date (or the designation date, in the case of a previously filed
registration statement that is effective at the time it is designated as a Shelf Registration Statement) of such Registration Statement
and each post-effective amendment thereto and (B) at each closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required
thereunder.


 






    -14- 


     


    

 


(s)           In
the case of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Issuer shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by each Initial
Purchaser, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Initial Purchaser, all relevant financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Issuer and its subsidiaries reasonably requested by such person; (ii) cause the
officers, directors and employees of the Issuer to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by such Initial Purchaser or
any such attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Registration Statement as is customary for due diligence
examinations in connection with primary underwritten offerings; provided, however, that any information that is
nonpublic at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Initial Purchaser or any such attorney,
accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such information
becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; (iii) make
such representations and warranties to such Initial Purchaser, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by an issuer to
underwriters in primary underwritten offerings; (iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Issuer (which counsel and opinions (in form,
scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Initial Purchaser and its counsel), addressed to such Initial
Purchaser, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters
as may be reasonably requested by such Initial Purchaser or its counsel; (v) obtain “comfort” letters and updates
thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Issuer (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public
accountants of any subsidiary of the Issuer or of any business acquired by the Issuer for which financial statements and financial
data are, or are required to be, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), addressed to such Initial
Purchaser, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection
with primary underwritten offerings; and (vi) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such Initial
Purchaser or its counsel, including those to evidence compliance with Section 5(k) and with conditions customarily contained in
underwriting agreements. The foregoing actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 5(s) shall be
performed (A) at the close of the Registered Exchange Offer and (B) on the effective date of any post-effective amendment to
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.


 






    -15- 


     


    

 


6.             Registration Expenses. The Issuer shall bear all Registration Expenses and, in the event of any Shelf Registration
Statement, will reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel (in addition to one local counsel
in each relevant jurisdiction) designated by the Majority Holders to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith. The Holders
of Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all agency or brokerage fees and commissions and underwriting discounts and commissions
attributable to the sale of such Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained
by such Holders (severally or jointly), other than the counsel and experts specifically referred to above in this Section 6, transfer
taxes on resale of any of the Registrable Securities by such Holders and any advertising expenses incurred by or on behalf of such Holders
in connection with any offers they may make.


 


7.             Indemnification and Contribution. (a) In connection with any Registration Statement, the Issuer agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser and, with respect to
any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 5(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer), the directors, officers, employees and agents
of each Holder, each person, if any, who controls any such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of each Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus
or Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any issuer free writing prospectus approved for use by the Issuer,
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 agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Issuer will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of any such Holder specifically for inclusion
therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Issuer may otherwise have.


 


The Issuer agrees to indemnify or contribute to
Losses (as defined below) of, as provided in Section 7(d), any underwriters of Original Notes or New Notes registered under a Shelf
Registration Statement, their officers, directors, employees and agents and each person who controls such underwriters on
substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in this
Section 7(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in
Section 5(q) hereof.


 






    -16- 


     


    

 


(b)           Each
Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery
as contemplated in Section 5(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer) severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer,
each of its directors and officers and each other person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer to each such Holder, but only with
reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion
in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any such
Holder may otherwise have.


 


(c)         Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability
under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the
forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying
party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligations provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying
party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified
party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party
in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying
party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel (and local counsel) if (i) the use of counsel
chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the
actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not
have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes
an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood, however, that the Issuer shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Holders and controlling
persons. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 7 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 






    -17- 


     


    

 


(d)         In
the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party for any reason, then the Issuer and the Holders, as applicable, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall, in the case of the Issuer, have an obligation to, and in the case of each Holder, have a several and not joint obligation to,
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Issuer and the Holders may
be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer, on the one hand, and by the
Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses; provided, however,
that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser or any subsequent Holder of any Original Note or New Note be responsible, in the
aggregate, for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to such Original Note, or in the case of a New
Note, applicable to the security which was exchangeable into such New Note, as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and in the
Purchase Agreement, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission
applicable to the securities purchased by such underwriter under the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Issuer and the Holders severally shall
contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
Issuer, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuer shall be deemed to be equal to the
sum of (x) the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and
in the Purchase Agreement and (y) the total amount of additional interest which the Issuer was not required to pay as a result of
registering the securities covered by the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Benefits received by the Initial
Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and
in the Purchase Agreement, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Original
Notes or New Notes, as applicable, registered under the Securities Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be
equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the
Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue
statement or omission relates to information provided by the Issuer, on the one hand, or by Holders, on the other hand. The parties
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7,
each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer,
employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Issuer
within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each of their officers who shall have signed the Registration
Statement and each of their directors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer, subject in each case to the
applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).


 






    -18- 


     


    

 


(e)            The provisions of this Section 7 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of any Initial Purchaser, any other Holder, the Issuer or any underwriter or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred
to in this Section 7, and will survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement.


 


8.             Miscellaneous.


 


(a)            No
Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer has not, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall it, on or after the date hereof, enter
into, any agreement with respect to its securities that limits the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof.


 


(b)           Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Issuer has
obtained the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Registrable
Securities; provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser
hereunder, the Issuer shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification,
supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or consent
to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Registrable
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 the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of Registrable Securities being sold rather than registered
under such Registration Statement.


 






    -19- 


     


    

 


(c)            Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery,
first-class mail, facsimile, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:


 


(i)              if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8(c), which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such Holder maintained by the registrar under the
Indenture, with a copy in like manner to you at the applicable address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and


 


(ii)            
if to you, initially at the applicable address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and


 


(iii)           
if to the Issuer, initially at the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement.


 


All such notices and communications shall be deemed
to have been duly given when received.


 


The Initial Purchasers or the Issuer by notice to
the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.


 


(d)           Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties,
including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Issuer or subsequent Holders of Registrable Securities. The
Issuer hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Registrable Securities and any such Holder may specifically
enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto. The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as initial purchasers)
shall have no liability or obligation to the Issuer with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder
of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement. Any successor to the Issuer, whether by merger, consolidation or other
transaction, shall expressly assume the obligations of the Issuer hereunder.


 


(e)           Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between
the Issuer and the Initial Purchasers, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement
necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder.


 


(f)            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. The words
 “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or
relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the
case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.


 






    -20- 


     


    

 


(g)           Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.


 


(h)           Governing
Law. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the state of New York (without
regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the law of another jurisdiction).


 


(i)             Severability.
In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other
respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all the rights
and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 


(j)             Securities
Held by the Issuer, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Registrable
Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Issuer or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Registrable
Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be 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.

own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale
of such New Notes. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not
be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended
or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Original
Notes where such New Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The
Issuer has agreed that, starting on the Expiration Date and ending on the close of business on the day that is 90 days following the Expiration
Date, it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

ANNEX C


 


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


 


Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its
own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale
of such New Notes. The Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection
with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. The Issuer has agreed that, starting on the Expiration Date and ending on the close of business
on the day that is 90 days following the Expiration Date, it will make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer
for use in connection with any such resale. [In addition, until          , 20   ,
all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus.]1


 


The Issuer will not receive any proceeds from any
sale of New Notes by broker-dealers. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer
may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing
of options on the New Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related
to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or
dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any
such New Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells New Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such New Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of New Notes and any commissions or concessions received by
any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging
that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act.


 


For a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date,
the Issuer will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer
that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Issuer has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Registered Exchange
Offer (other than the expenses of counsel for the Holders of the Original Notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers
or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Original Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.


 


[If applicable, add information required by Regulation
S-K Items 507 and/or 508.]


 





 






1      In addition, the legend required by
Item 502(b) of Regulation S-K, if required under Rule 174, will appear on the back cover page of the Exchange Offer Prospectus.
