supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms and the provisions of this Agreement, the “Support Agreement”),
with the Company, a copy of which (as in effect on the date of this Agreement) is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2, pursuant to which the Parent has agreed, among other things, to provide funds to the Company if it is unable to make timely payment
of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Debt (as defined in the Support Agreement) issued by the Company.

performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder. 
  

	3.	CLOSING.

 The closing of the sale and purchase of $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Series E Notes and $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of

the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note for each Series of Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser (or such greater number of Notes of each Series in denominations of at
least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request), dated the Closing Date and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the

Date to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Notes to be acquired by such Purchaser, without thereby waiving any rights such
Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

	4.	CONDITIONS TO CLOSING. 

 The obligation of the
Company to deliver the Notes to each relevant Purchaser on the Closing Date is subject to the Company receiving the purchase price therefor. Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser on the

violate any applicable law or regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and (c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation was not in effect on the date hereof. If requested by such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have received an Officer’s Certificate of the Company certifying as to such matters of fact as such
Purchaser may reasonably specify to enable such Purchaser to determine whether such purchase is so permitted. 
 4.6. Sale of Other Notes.

 Contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company shall sell to each other Purchaser and each other Purchaser shall purchase the Notes to
be purchased by it at the Closing as specified in Schedule A. 
 4.7. Payment of Special Counsel Fees.

transactions shall be satisfactory to such Purchaser and its special counsel, and such Purchaser and its special counsel shall have received all such counterpart originals or certified or other copies of such documents as such Purchaser or such
special counsel may reasonably request. 
  

	5.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. 

 The
Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that: 
 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority. 
 Each of the Company and the Parent is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing
is not, individually or in the aggregate, likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and the Parent has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to
transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, and, in the case of the Company, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof. 
 5.2. Authorization, Etc. 
 This
Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Support Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Parent and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent enforceable against the Parent in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 5.3. Disclosure. 
 The
Private Placement Memorandum, relating to the issuance by the Company of its (i) $101,000,000 5.39% Series A Senior Notes due December 21, 2013, (ii) $37,500,000 5.52% Series B Senior Notes due December 21, 2016,
(iii) $329,500,000 5,62% Series C Senior Notes due December 21, 2018 and (iv) $432,000,000 5.77% Series D Senior Notes due December 21, 2021, dated November 2006 (the “Memorandum”),
fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and the types of properties of the Parent, the Company and the 

  

 -5- 








 
other Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Memorandum and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the
Company and the Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3, and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, in each case excluding projections (this Agreement, the Memorandum and such
documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser prior to March 8, 2007, in each case excluding projections, being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure
Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they
were made. The projections set forth in the Disclosure Documents were prepared in good faith based upon estimates and assumptions believed by the Parent and the Company to be reasonable on the date such Disclosure Documents were delivered to the
Purchasers and on the date hereof. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2005, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Parent, or the Company or any other
Subsidiary, except changes that individually or in the aggregate are not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth in the Disclosure
Documents. 
 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries. 
 (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) a complete and correct list (i) of the Parent’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to
each Subsidiary, whether it is a Significant Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Parent and
each other Subsidiary and (ii) of the Company’s and the Parent’s directors and senior officers. 
 (b) All of
the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Parent and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company,
the Parent or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4). 
 (c) Each
Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal
entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing is not, individually or in the aggregate, likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

 (d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other
than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4, regulatory requirements imposing a minimum required level of net worth and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the 

  

 -6- 








 
ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Parent, or the Company or any of the
other Subsidiaries, that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary, except for any such restrictions that are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under this Agreement and the Notes or the ability of the Parent to perform its obligations under the Support Agreement. 
 5.5. Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. 
 The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the consolidated
financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects in accordance with GAAP the
consolidated financial position of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes). To the
knowledge of the Parent and the Company, the Parent and its Subsidiaries do not have any liabilities that are not disclosed on, or in the notes to, such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, except for any such
liabilities as are not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. 
 The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes and the performance by the Parent of the Support Agreement will not
(i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary under, any Material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Parent, or the Company or any other Subsidiary, is bound or by which the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary or any of
their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Parent,

 5.7. Governmental Authorizations, Etc. 
 No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by the Company or the Parent in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by

 (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Parent,
the Company or any other Subsidiary, or any property of any of them in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 (b) Neither the Parent nor the Company or any other Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument
to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to it or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without

Company and the other Subsidiaries, have filed all Material tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon
them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not
individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Parent, or the Company or another Subsidiary,
as the case may be, has established reserves to the extent required by GAAP. The Company does not know of any basis for any other tax or assessment that is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of
the Parent, and the Company and the other Subsidiaries, in respect of Material Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP. The Federal income tax liabilities of the Parent and the

material to the use made or to be made of the property subject thereto.

service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, and have not received any notice of
infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect thereto, or any notice of proceedings or other action relating to the revocation or modification of any thereof other than infringements, conflicts, revocations or modifications
that are not, individually or in the aggregate, likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) To the best knowledge of the
Company, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by
the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary other than such violations that are not, individually or in the aggregate, likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.12. Compliance with ERISA. 
 (a) The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated
and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and are not likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Other than benefit obligations to employees and retirees
under defined benefit plans, if any, neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in
section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that is likely to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights,
properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such
liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material. 
 (b) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates
have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material. 
 (c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is
subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(l)(A)-(D) of the Code. The representation by the Company to each Purchaser in the first sentence of this
Section 5.12(c) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser.

 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. 
 Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached 

  

 -9- 








 
or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than the Purchasers and not more than 11 other “accredited investors” as defined in Rule
501(a)(l), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment. The Company has not taken, and will not take, any action that would subject the issuance or
sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 
 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. 
 The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Notes as set forth in section 3 of the Memorandum and for general corporate purposes of the Parent and its Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder
will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading
in any securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not
constitute more than 5% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them
in said Regulation U. 
 5.15. Existing Debt; Future Liens. 
 (a) Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Debt of the Parent, and the Company and the other
Subsidiaries, as of the Closing Date, having an outstanding principal amount in excess of $10,000,000. Neither the Parent, nor the Company or any other Subsidiary, is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any
principal of or interest on any such Debt. No event or condition exists with respect to any such Debt that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and
payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment, which in any such case, whether individually or in the aggregate for all such Debt, is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, neither the Parent, nor the Company or any other Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or
permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.6. 
 (c) Neither the Parent nor the Company is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Debt,
any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including, but not limited to, its charter or other organizational document) which prohibits the issuance or sale of the Notes or restricts the Parent from performing its obligations under the
Support Agreement, except as specifically indicated in Schedule 5.15. 
  

 -10- 








 5.16. Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Etc. 
 (a) Neither the sale of the Notes by the Company hereunder nor its use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy
Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto. 
 (b) Neither the Parent nor the Company or any other Subsidiary (i) is a Person described or designated in the Specially Designated
Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control or in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or (ii) knowingly engages in any dealings or transactions with any Person known to it to be such a Person. The Parent,
the Company and the other Subsidiaries are each in compliance, in all material respects, with the USA Patriot Act. 
 (c) No
part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else
acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. 
 5.17. Status under Certain Statutes. 
 Each of the Parent and the Company is either not an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) or exempt from all provisions of the Act. 
 5.18. Environmental Matters. 
 (a) Neither the Parent, nor the Company or any other Subsidiary has knowledge of any claim or has received any written notice of any claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any claim against the Parent, the Company or any other
Subsidiary, relating to any of their respective real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets, and alleging any damage to the environment or violation of any Environmental Laws, except, in each case, such
as is not likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) No Hazardous Materials have been or are being used, produced,
manufactured, processed, generated, stored, disposed of, managed or treated at, or shipped or transported to or from, the properties owned, leased or operated by the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary or are otherwise present at, on, in or
under such properties except for Hazardous Materials used, produced, manufactured, processed, generated, stored, disposed of and managed in the ordinary course of business in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and except as,
individually or in the aggregate, are not likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 -11- 








 5.19. TWAUSHI and AW Finance. 
 (a) TWAUSHI (i) does not have any Subsidiaries other than the Parent, the Parent’s Subsidiaries and AW Finance, (ii) did
not own assets (excluding capital stock of the Parent, the Parent’s Subsidiaries and AW Finance, and Parent Contributions) constituting more than 5% of Consolidated Total TWAUSHI Assets as at December 31, 2006 and (iii) does not

	6.	REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PURCHASERS. 

 6.1.
Purchase for Investment. 
 (a) Each Purchaser severally represents that it is purchasing the Notes (i) for its own
account or (ii) for one or more separate accounts owned by such Purchaser or for the account of one or more pension or trust funds that are “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(l), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation
D under the Securities Act), in each case for which it is exercising investment discretion in managing investments of such pension or trust funds, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), for investment and not with a view to the
distribution thereof, provided that the disposition of such Purchaser’s property shall at all times be within such Purchaser’s control. Such Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer. Each Purchaser (and each such pension, trust fund or
other Person) understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under
circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by law, and that the Company is not required to register the Notes. Each Purchaser further represents that it (and each such pension, trust fund or other Person) has had
the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and received answers concerning the terms and conditions of the sale of the Notes. Each Purchaser’s (and each such pension’s, trust fund’s or other Person’s) financial position is
such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Notes. Each Purchaser (and each such pension, trust fund or other Person) can afford to suffer the complete loss of its investment in the Notes. Each Purchaser’s (and each such
other Person’s) knowledge and experience in financial and business matters (or the knowledge and experience of such Purchaser’s or such other Person’s investment advisor) is such that it (or such investment advisor) is capable of
evaluating the risks of the investment in the Notes. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no representations, express or implied, have been or are being made with respect to Parent, the Company or the Subsidiaries, the Notes or otherwise, other than
those expressly set forth herein or contemplated hereby. 
  

 -12- 








 (b) Each Purchaser agrees to the imprinting of a legend on the Notes to the following
effect: 
 “THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. NO TRANSFER,
SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS NOTE MAY BE MADE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT, AND SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION AS MAY BE NECESSARY UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE HAS
BECOME EFFECTIVE, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATIONS AND/OR QUALIFICATIONS IS AVAILABLE UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS. EACH TRANSFEREE OF THIS NOTE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS NOTE REGISTERED IN ITS NAME (OR THE NAME OF ITS NOMINEE), WILL BE DEEMED
TO HAVE MADE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO WHICH THIS NOTE WAS ISSUED.” 
 6.2. Source of Funds.

 Each Purchaser severally represents that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of
funds (a “Source”) to be used by such Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:

in respect of which the reserves and liabilities (as defined by the annual statement for life insurance companies approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the “NAIC Annual Statement”)) for the
general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan together with the amount of the reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any other employee benefit plans maintained by the
same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization in the general account do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities of the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus
surplus as set forth in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with such Purchaser’s state of domicile; or 
 (b) the Source is
a separate account that is maintained solely in connection with such Purchaser’s fixed contractual obligations under which the amounts payable, or credited, to any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) that has any interest in such
separate account (or to any participant or beneficiary of such plan (including any annuitant)) are not affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or 
  

 -13- 








 (c) the Source is either (i) an insurance company pooled separate account, within
the meaning of PTE 90-1 or (ii) a bank collective investment fund, within the meaning of the PTE 91-38 and, except as disclosed by such Purchaser to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (c), no employee benefit plan or group of plans
maintained by the same employer or employee organization beneficially owns more than 10% of all assets allocated to such pooled separate account or collective investment fund; or 
 (d) the Source constitutes assets of an “investment fund” (within the meaning of Part V of PTE 84-14 (the “QPAM
Exemption”)) managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” or “QPAM” (within the meaning of Part V of the QPAM Exemption), no employee benefit plan’s assets that are included in such investment fund,
when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Section V(c)(l) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization
and managed by such QPAM, exceed 20% of the total client assets managed by such QPAM, the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the QPAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the QPAM (applying the
definition of “control” in Section V(e) of the QPAM Exemption) owns a 5% or more interest in the Company and (i) the identity of such QPAM and (ii) the names of all employee benefit plans whose assets are included in such
investment fund have been disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (d); or 
 (e) the Source constitutes
assets of a “plan(s)” (within the meaning of Section IV of PTE 96-23 (the “INHAM Exemption”)) managed by an “in-house asset manager” or “INHAM” (within the meaning of Part IV of the INHAM
Exemption), the conditions of Part I(a), (g) and (h) of the INHAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the INHAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the INHAM (applying the definition of “control” in Section IV(d) of the INHAM
Exemption) owns a 5% or more interest in the Company and (i) the identity of such INHAM and (ii) the name(s) of the employee benefit plan(s) whose assets constitute the Source have been disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this
clause (e); or 
 (f) the Source is a governmental plan; or 
 (g) the Source is one or more employee benefit plans, or a separate account or trust fund comprised of one or more employee benefit plans,
each of which has been identified to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (g); or 
 (h) the Source does not include
assets of any employee benefit plan, other than a plan exempt from the coverage of ERISA. 
 As used in this Section 6.2, the terms “employee
benefit plan,” “governmental plan,” and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in section 3 of ERISA.

investments in its respective Subsidiaries; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 7.3 shall obligate TWAUSHI, the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary of TWAUSHI to disclose to any such holder of Notes information the
disclosure of which would (i) be a violation of any applicable law, statute or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to TWAUSHI, the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary of TWAUSHI disclosing such information or
(ii) be a breach of any contractual agreement (other than any such agreement entered into in contemplation of this clause (ii) or any request for information under this Section 7.3) regarding confidentiality of information to which
TWAUSHI, the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary of TWAUSHI disclosing such information is a party; provided, further that the Company agrees to work with each such holder of Notes and any prospective transferee of its Notes with respect to

in Control and the prepayment are expected to occur, and (iii) any determination by the Company that efforts to effect such Change in Control have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant to this

 (b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Transfer Prepayment Offer, a holder of
Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice from the Company, provided, that failure to accept such offer in writing within twenty
(20) days after the date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of a Note, such offered prepayment (equal to not less than such holder’s Ratable Portion of the
Net Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer) shall be due and payable on the Transfer Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid,

 8.6. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. 
 In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall, subject to any conditions to such prepayment, mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such
prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when

 8.7. Purchase of Notes. 

 The Company will not and will not permit any of its controlled Affiliates or the Parent to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire,
directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of 

  

 -23- 








 
this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the
time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it, any of its controlled Affiliates or the Parent pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. 
 8.8. Make-Whole Amount. 
 “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole
Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called Principal” means, with respect to any
Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all
Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor
(applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 
 “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note of either Series, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for
the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or
the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day
preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.I5 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of
such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. 
 In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may
be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly
between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average
Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 
  

 -24- 








 “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal of
any Note, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining
Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of
such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date,
provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to
such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1. 
 “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately
due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

 12.1. Acceleration.

 (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Parent, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary described in Section
ll(g) or (h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section ll(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section ll(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 1 l(g)) has
occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable. 
 (b) If any other Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. 
 (c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11 (a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of
Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable. 
  

 -35- 








 Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by
declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the
Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which
are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the
provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such
circumstances. 
 12.2. Other Remedies. 
 If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time
outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction
against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 
 12.3. Rescission. 
 At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c),
the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes
that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes,
at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have
become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission
and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. 
 No course of dealing and no delay on the
part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any 

  

 -36- 








 
Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in
equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

exemption from the requirement for such registration is available.

 Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or
the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly

	19.	REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. 

 This Agreement and all
documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial
statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any
original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or
not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such
reproduction. 
  

	20.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

 For the purposes of this
Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or
otherwise pursuant to this Agreement and, in the case of information delivered to any Purchaser after the Closing, that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential
information of the Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known (other than through the wrongful disclosure by any Purchaser or any person acting on any
Purchaser’s behalf) or otherwise actually known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure from a source other than the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary, or any Affiliate or agent of the Parent, the Company or any
Subsidiary actually known by such Purchaser to be an Affiliate or agent thereof and so long as the source of such information is not known to such Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary
obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other party with respect to such information, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf,
(c) otherwise becomes actually known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary, or any Affiliate or agent of the Parent, the Company or any other Subsidiary actually known by such
Purchaser to be an Affiliate or agent thereof and so long as the source of such information is not known to such Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the
Company or any other party with respect to such information or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of
such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential
Information to (i) on a confidential basis, its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment 

  

 -42- 








 
represented by its Notes), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information
substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such
Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in
writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in
each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be
necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such
Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the
rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement; provided that such Purchaser shall, unless prohibited by law, notify the Company of any disclosure required pursuant to clause (w), (x) or (y) above as far in
advance as reasonably practicable to enable the Company to seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of
this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested
by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20. Each Purchaser recognizes its responsibility for
compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with its use of non-public information regarding the Parent and its Subsidiaries. 
  

	21.	SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER. 

 Each Purchaser shall
have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain
such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to
such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate
thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this
Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. Any such
assignment to an Affiliate shall not relieve any Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to purchase the Notes subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. 
  

 -43- 









	22.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 22.1. Assumption by the Parent
or a Domestic Subsidiary. 
 The Parent or any Domestic Subsidiary of the Parent may directly assume, by a written instrument, executed
and delivered to the holders of the Notes, in form satisfactory to the Required Holders, the performance of each covenant (including, without limitation, the delivery of financial statements of the substitute issuer pursuant to Section 7.1
hereof), condition and obligation of the Company under this Agreement and the Notes, including, without limitation, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (together with any Make-Whole Amount) and interest on all the Notes; provided
that (a) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such assumption, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) in the case of such assumption by a Domestic Subsidiary, (i) the Support
Agreement shall be modified to substitute such Domestic Subsidiary for the Company thereunder, or to include such Domestic Subsidiary, and (ii) the Parent’s obligations under the Support Agreement, as so modified, shall remain in full
force and effect, and (c) each holder of any Notes shall have received an opinion of counsel to the effect that (subject to customary limitations) such assumption is effective to make all obligations of the Company hereunder binding and
enforceable obligations of the substitute issuer and, in the case of an assumption by a Domestic Subsidiary, the Support Agreement, as so modified to substitute or include such Domestic Subsidiary, is a binding and enforceable obligation of the
Parent. Upon any such assumption made in compliance with this Section 22.1, the Parent or such Domestic Subsidiary shall succeed to and be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Agreement with the same
effect as if the Parent or such Domestic Subsidiary had been named as the Company herein and the Company shall be released from its liability as obligor on the Notes and from its obligations hereunder. 
 22.2. Interest Rate Limitation. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Note, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Note under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the holder of such Note in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Note hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been
payable in respect of such Note but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to the holder of such Note in respect of other periods shall be increased (but not above the
Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received in respect of such Note. 
 22.3. Successors and Assigns. 

 All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 
  

 -44- 








 22.4. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. 
 Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirements in Section 8.2 and Section 8.6
that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the
payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. 
 22.5. Accounting Terms. 
 All
accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
 22.6. Severability. 
 Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by
law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 22.7. Construction, etc. 
 Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein,
so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is
prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 
 For the
avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof. 
 22.8. Counterparts. 

 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute
one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. Delivery of a facsimile or electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature
page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement. 
  

 -45- 








 22.9. Governing Law. 
 This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that
would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State. 
 22.10. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury
Trial. 
 (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court
sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees
not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (b) The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.10(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said
Section. The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial
delivery service. 
 (c) Nothing in this Section 22.10 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in
any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one
jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d) The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with
respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.
