 2. Shelf Registration. (a) The Company shall as promptly as practicable (but in no event more
than 270 days after the Closing Date) file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement (which shall be, if the Company is then a WKSI, an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous

Commission. 
 (b) If the Shelf Registration Statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective under the Act no later than 270 days after the Closing Date. 
 (c) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the Act, in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by
Holders for a period (the “Shelf Registration Period”) from the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (or becomes effective in the case of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) until the earlier
of (i) the 20th trading day immediately following the maturity date of the Debentures or (ii) the date
upon which there are no Debentures or Registrable Securities outstanding. The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Registration Period if it voluntarily
takes any action that would result in Holders of Registrable Securities not being able to offer and sell such Common Stock at any time during the Shelf Registration Period, unless such action is (x) required by applicable law or otherwise
undertaken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, and (y) permitted by Section 3(i) hereof.
None of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective securityholders (other than Holders of Registrable Securities) shall have the right to include any securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership in any Shelf
Registration Statement other than Registrable Securities. 
 (d) The Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act; and
(ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading. 
 (e) The Company shall issue a press release through a reputable national newswire service
announcing the anticipated effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement at least 15 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date thereof. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire and such
other information as the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, to the Company at least ten Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement as announced in the press release. From and after the
effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use reasonable efforts, as promptly as is practicable after the date a Notice and 

  

 4 

 
Questionnaire is delivered, and in any event within 20 Business Days after such date, (i) if required by applicable law, to file with the Commission a
post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment in any 90-day period in accordance with this Section 2(e)(i) or to prepare and,
if permitted or required by applicable law, to file a supplement to the related Prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that the Holder delivering such Notice
and Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and so that such Holder is permitted to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with
applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Act as promptly as is practicable;
(ii) provide such Holder, upon request, copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) hereof; and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Act of any post-effective amendment
filed pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) hereof; provided, that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions
set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(i) hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name
any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2(e) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement) shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus in accordance with the
requirements of this Section 2(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) the Debentures are called for redemption and the then prevailing market price of the Common Stock is above the Exchange Price or (B) the Debentures are exchanged
as provided for in Section 13.01(i), 13.01(ii) or 13.01(iv) of the Indenture, then the Company shall use reasonable efforts to file the post-effective amendment or supplement within five Business Days of the redemption date or the end of the
exchange period, as applicable. 
 3. Registration Procedures. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement. 
 (a) The Company shall: 
 (i) furnish to each of the Representatives and to counsel for the Notice Holders, not less than five Business Days prior to the filing
thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein (including all documents incorporated by reference therein after the
initial filing) and shall use its reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as the Representatives reasonably propose; and 
 (ii) include information regarding the Notice Holders and the methods of distribution they have elected for their Registrable Securities
provided to the 

  

 5 

 
Company in Notices and Questionnaires as necessary to permit such distribution by the methods specified therein. 
 (b) The Company shall ensure that: 
 (i) the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Act; and 
 (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. 
 (c) The Company shall advise the Representatives, the Notice Holders and any underwriter that has provided in writing to the Company a telephone or facsimile number and address for notices, and confirm such advice in writing, if requested
(which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Company shall have remedied the basis for such suspension): 
 (i) when the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii) of any request by the Commission for any
amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information; 
 (iii) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose; 
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock included
therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
 (v) of the
happening of any event that requires any change in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date, they (A) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and (B) 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. 
 (d) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or
the qualification of the securities therein for sale in any jurisdiction and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. The Company shall undertake additional reasonable actions as required to 

  

 6 

 
permit unrestricted resales of the Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 (e) Upon request, the Company shall furnish to each Notice Holder, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any
post-effective amendment thereto, including all material incorporated therein by reference, and, if a Notice Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including exhibits incorporated by reference therein). 
 (f) During the Shelf Registration Period, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Initial Purchaser, each Notice Holder, and any sales or placement
agents or underwriters acting on their behalf, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including the preliminary Prospectus, if any) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as any such person
may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the foregoing in connection with the offering and sale of the Common Stock. 
 (g) Prior to any offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall arrange for the qualification of the Common
Stock for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as any Notice Holder shall reasonably request and shall maintain such qualification in effect so long as required; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business
in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the Initial Placement or any offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, in
any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
 (h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by subsections (c)(ii) through
(v) above, the Company shall promptly (or within the time period provided for by Section 3(i) hereof, if applicable) prepare a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related
Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Initial 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
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (i) Upon the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development, public filings with the Commission or any other material event that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, makes it appropriate to
suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, the Company shall give notice (without notice of the nature or details of such events) to the Notice Holders that the availability of the Shelf Registration
Statement is suspended and, upon actual receipt of any such notice, each Notice Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Notice Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented
or amended Prospectus provided for in Section 3(i) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The period during which the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended (the “Deferral Period”) shall not exceed 45 days in any 90-day period or 90 days in
any 360-day 

  

 7 

 
period; provided, that, if the event triggering the Deferral Period relates to a proposed or pending material business transaction, the
disclosure of which the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith would be reasonably likely to impede the ability to consummate the transaction or would otherwise be seriously detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries taken a
whole, the Company may extend the Deferral Period from 45 days to 60 days in any 90-day period or from 90 days to 120 days in any 360-day period. 
 (j) The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act as soon as
practicable after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement and in any event no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s
first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (k) The Company may require each Holder of
Common Stock to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Common Stock as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in
the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company may exclude from the Shelf Registration Statement the Common Stock of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 
 (l) Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary
form) and take all other appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Common Stock, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain customary
indemnification provisions and procedures. 
 (m) Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall: 
 (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of Common Stock to be registered thereunder, any underwriter participating in
any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and
its subsidiaries; 
 (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all
relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; 
 (iii) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of Common Stock registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form,
substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in 

  

 8 

 
primary underwritten offerings and covering matters including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement; 
 (iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (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 Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and
financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Shelf Registration Statement), addressed to each selling Holder of Common Stock 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 or the Managing Underwriters, if any, including those to evidence compliance with Section 3(i) hereof and with any customary conditions contained in the
underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. 
 The actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this
paragraph (m) shall be performed in connection with any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder. 
 (n) In the event that any Broker-Dealer shall underwrite any Common Stock or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the NASD Rules) thereof,
whether as a Holder of such Common Stock or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company shall assist such Broker-Dealer in complying with the NASD Rules. 
 (o) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Common Stock covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement. 
 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the performance
of its obligations under Sections 2 and 3 hereof and shall reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel (which shall initially be Goodwin Procter LLP, but which may be another nationally recognized law
firm experienced in securities matters designated by the Majority Holders) to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith. 
  

 9 

 5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the Operating Partnership agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each such Holder or Initial Purchaser and each person who
controls any such Holder or Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the 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 Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Operating Partnership will not be liable in any such 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 Company by or on behalf of the party claiming indemnification specifically for
inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Operating Partnership may otherwise have. 
 The Company and the Operating Partnership also agree to indemnify as provided in this Section 5(a) or contribute as provided in Section 5(d) hereof to Losses of each underwriter, if any, of Common Stock
registered under the Shelf Registration Statement, its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents and each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Initial Purchasers and
the selling Holders provided in this paragraph (a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 3(l) hereof. 
 (b) Each Holder of securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser that is a Holder, in such capacity) severally
and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Shelf Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company or the Operating
Partnership within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Operating Partnership to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such
Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement shall be acknowledged by each Notice Holder that is not an Initial Purchaser
in such Notice Holder’s Notice and Questionnaire and shall be in addition to any liability that any such Notice Holder may otherwise have. 
  

 10 

 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 or 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 5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so
to 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 obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above.
The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local 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, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties
except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local 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 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 that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel 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. 
 (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending loss, claim, liability, damage or action) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall any
Initial Purchaser be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Debentures, as set forth in the Final Memorandum, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess
of the 

  

 11 

 
underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased by such underwriter under the Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such
Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits
but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, 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 Company and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth in the Final Memorandum. Benefits received by
the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of
receiving Common Stock registered under the 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 Shelf
Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) 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 Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the 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 Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the
Company or the Operating Partnership who shall have signed the Shelf Registration Statement and each director of the Company or the Operating Partnership shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Operating Partnership,
subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 5 shall remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or the Operating Partnership or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 5, and shall survive the sale by a Holder of
securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 6. Underwritten Registrations. (a) In no event will the method of
distribution of Registrable Securities take the form of an underwritten offering without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 (b) If
any shares of Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be 

  

 12 

 
selected by the Company, subject to the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement unless such person (i) agrees to sell such
person’s shares of Common Stock on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 7. Registration Defaults. If any of the following events shall occur, then the Company shall pay liquidated damages (the “Registration Default Damages”) to the Holders as follows: 
 (a) if the Shelf Registration Statement (which shall be, if the Company is then a WKSI, an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) is not filed with the
Commission on or prior to the 270th day following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 271st day after the Closing Date, Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, at a rate of
0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such 271st day and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or 
 (b) if the Shelf
Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission (or has not become effective in the case of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) on or prior to the 270th day following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 271st day after
the Closing Date, Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such 271st day and 0.50% per annum
thereafter; or 
 (c) if the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared or become effective but ceases to be effective or usable for the
offer and sale of the Registrable Securities, other than in connection with (A) a Deferral Period or (B) as a result of a requirement to file a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to make changes to the information
regarding selling securityholders or the plan of distribution provided for therein, at any time during the Shelf Registration Period and the Company does not cure the lapse of effectiveness or usability within ten Business Days (or, if a Deferral
Period is then in effect and subject to the 20 Business Day filing requirement and the proviso regarding the filing of post-effective amendments in Section 2(e) with respect to any Notice and Questionnaire received during such period, within
ten Business Days following the expiration of such Deferral Period or period permitted pursuant to Section 2(e)) then Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Debentures at a rate of
0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including the day following such tenth Business Day and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or 
 (d) if the Company through its omission fails to name as a selling securityholder any Holder that had complied timely with its obligations hereunder in a manner to entitle such Holder to be so named in (i) the Shelf Registration
Statement at the time it first became effective or (ii) any Prospectus at the later of time of filing thereof or the time the Shelf 

  

 13 

 
Registration Statement of which the Prospectus forms a part becomes effective then Registration Default Damages shall accrue, on the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Debentures held by such Holder, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including the day following the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or the time of filing of such Prospectus, as
the case may be, and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or 
 (e) if the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the
number of days permitted in respect of such period pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof, then commencing on the day the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period, Registration
Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Debentures at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such date, and 0.50% per annum thereafter; 
 provided, however, that (1) upon the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of paragraph (a) above), (2) upon the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of paragraph (b) above), (3) upon such time as the Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective or usable for resales again becomes effective and usable
for resales (in the case of paragraph (c) above), (4) upon the time such Holder is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus in accordance with applicable law (in the case of
paragraph (d) above) or (5) upon the termination of the Deferral Period that caused the limit on the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in a period set forth in Section 3(i) to be exceeded (in the case of paragraph
(f) above), the Registration Default Damages shall cease to accrue. 
 Any amounts of Registration Default Damages due pursuant to this
Section 7 will be payable in cash on the next succeeding interest payment date to Holders entitled to receive such Registration Default Damages on the relevant record dates for the payment of interest. If any Debenture ceases to be outstanding
during any period for which Registration Default Damages are accruing, the Company will prorate the Registration Default Damages payable with respect to such Debenture. 
 The Registration Default Damages rate on the Debentures shall not exceed in the aggregate 0.50% per annum and shall not be payable under more than one clause above for any given period of time, except that if
Registration Default Damages would be payable because of more than one Registration Default, but at a rate of 0.25% per annum under one Registration Default and at a rate of 0.50% per annum under the other, then the Registration Default
Damages rate shall be the higher rate of 0.50% per annum. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, in no event shall
Registration Default Damages accrue to holders of Common Shares issued upon exchange of Debentures. In lieu thereof, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) by 3% for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures
exchanged at a time when such Registration Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 8. No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the
Company nor the Operating Partnership has entered into, and each agrees not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the registration rights granted to the Holders herein. 
  

 14 

 9. Rule 144A and Rule 144. So long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at anytime the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the
written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A of the Act. The Company covenants
that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including, without limitation, the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to require the Company or the Operating Partnership to register any of its securities pursuant to the
Exchange Act. 
 10. Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the approval of the Common Share for listing on
the New York Stock Exchange. 
 11. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, qualified, modified
or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders; provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or
indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective;
provided, further, that no amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to Section 7 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder;
and provided, further, that the provisions of this Article 11 may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained
the written consent of the Initial Purchasers and each Holder. 
 12. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery: 
 (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Notice and Questionnaire; 
 (b) if to the Initial Purchasers or the Representatives, initially at the address or addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and 
 (c) if to the Company or the Operating Partnership, initially at its address set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 
 All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received. 
  

 15 

 The Initial Purchasers, the Company or the Operating Partnership by notice to the other parties may
designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices given to
Holders holding Debentures in book-entry form may be given through the facilities of DTC or any successor depository. 
 13. Remedies.
Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided to it herein or in the Purchase Agreement or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under
this Agreement. The Company and the Operating Partnership agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by them of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive in any action
for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 14. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company or the Operating Partnership thereto, subsequent Holders of Common Stock,
and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 5 hereof. The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby agree to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Common Stock, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the
provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto. 
 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 16.
Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 17. Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by
jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 
 18. Severability. In the event that
any one of 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 of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 19. Common Stock Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal
amount of Common Stock is required hereunder, Common Stock held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Common Stock if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Common
Stock) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

 17EXHIBIT 4.6

 Exhibit 4.6 
 FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANT AGREEMENT 
 This First Supplemental Warrant Agreement (this
“Agreement”), dated August 18, 2006, is to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2005 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between TAC ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation, (the
“Company”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York trust company (the “Warrant Agent”). 
 WHEREAS, Section 6.01(a)(i) of the Warrant Agreement provides that such Warrant Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto, without the consent to of the Holder (as defined therein) of any Warrant (as defined therein), for
the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained therein, or making any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agreement that is not inconsistent
with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement or the Warrant Certificates (as defined therein); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 1. Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement is amended hereby by adding the following language at the end of
Section 2.03(c) thereto: 
 “In no event will any Holder be entitled to receive a net cash settlement upon exercise of any
Warrants.” 
 2. Miscellaneous. 
 a. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, THE LEGAL RELATIONS BETWEEN AND AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO, THE ADJUDICATION AND THE ENFORCEMENT HEREOF SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS FORMED AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. 
 b. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if such court does not
have jurisdiction, the New York State Supreme Court in the Borough of Manhattan, in any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the legal action may be heard and determined in any such court
and agrees not to bring any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 c. Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement
expressed or implied and nothing that may be inferred from any of the provisions hereof is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and their respective
successors and assigns, the Beneficial Owners (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) and the Holders any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any agreement hereof; and all agreements contained in this Agreement shall be
for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company 

 
and the Warrant Agent and their respective successors and assigns and of the Beneficial Owners and Holders. 
 d. Indemnity. The Company agrees that the indemnity in Section 5.02(a) of the Warrant Agreement is incorporated herein by
reference and that the execution of this Agreement by the Warrant Agent shall in no case be deemed to constitute negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Warrant Agent. 
 e. Severability. If any provision in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 
 f. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same document. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this First Supplemental Warrant Agreement as of the date first written above.
