 Dear Sirs: 
 Hexion U.S. Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
“Issuer”), proposes to issue and sell to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Apollo Global Securities LLC (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement dated January 16,
2013 among the Issuer, the Guarantors (as defined herein) and the Initial Purchasers (the “Purchase Agreement”), U.S. $1,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.625% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2020 of the Issuer
(the “Initial Securities”). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 14, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National
Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) as supplemented by a supplemental indenture dated as of the date hereof (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee.
The Initial Securities will be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) on a senior secured basis by Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc. (the “Parent”) and each of the Parent’s subsidiaries set forth on
Schedule B to the Purchase Agreement (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with the Parent, the “Guarantors”). 
 As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agrees with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and the holders of the Securities
(as defined below) (collectively the “Holders”), as follows: 
 1. Registered Exchange Offer. Unless not
permitted by applicable law, the Issuer shall prepare and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer
Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to a proposed offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the
Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the Issuer issued under the Indenture, substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the
Initial Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) and registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Securities”). The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
(i) to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act on or prior to 365 days after the date of original issue of the Initial Securities (the “Issue Date”) (such 365th day referred
to in clause (i) being the “Exchange Offer Effectiveness Target Date”) and (ii) to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 20 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law)
after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the “Exchange Offer Registration Period”). 

 

 If the Issuer commences the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer (i) will be entitled
to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer 20 business days after such commencement (provided that the Issuer has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer) and
(ii) will be required to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer no later than 40 days after the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective, or such later date required by law. 

Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Issuer shall, as promptly as
practicable, commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof) electing to exchange the Initial Securities
for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has no arrangements with any
person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt
without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United States. 
 The Issuer acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each
Holder which is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required
to deliver a prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section, and
(c) Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an
Initial Purchaser that elects to sell Securities (as defined below) acquired in exchange for Initial Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or
508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale. 
 The Issuer shall keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and shall amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless
such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Issuer shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities
for a period of not less than 180 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (or such shorter period during which such persons are required by applicable law to deliver such prospectus). 

 

  
 2 

 If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser holds Initial
Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Issuer, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser upon the written
request of such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Initial Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Issuer issued under the Indenture and identical in
all material respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states of the United States, but excluding provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6
hereof) to the Initial Securities (the “Private Exchange Securities”). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the “Securities”. 

In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer shall: 

(a) mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with
an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents; 
 (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for
not less than 20 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders; 
 (c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee;

 (d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time,
on the last business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
 (e) otherwise comply in
all material respects with all applicable laws. 
 As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer or
the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Issuer shall: 
 (i) accept for exchange all the Securities validly
tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange; 
 (ii) deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and 
 (iii) cause the Trustee
to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

 The Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the
Indenture and that all the Securities will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter. 

  
 3 

 Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Initial Securities,
from October 15, 2012. 
 Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent in
writing (which may be contained in the applicable letter of transmittal) to the Issuer that at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary
course of business, (ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is
not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Issuer or if it is an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable,
(iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for
its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Securities. 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Issuer will ensure that (i) any Exchange
Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any
Exchange Offer 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 and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission, the Issuer is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange
Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated by the 365th day after the Issue Date, (iii) any Initial Purchaser so requests in writing on or prior to the 60th day after the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of
the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the
Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange or may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Registered Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a
prospectus, and any such Holder so requests in writing on or prior to the 60th day after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer shall take the following actions (the date on which any of the conditions described in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) occur, including in the case of clauses (iii) or (iv) the receipt of the required notice, being a “Trigger Date”): 

(a) The Issuer shall, at its cost, file with the Commission and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) (x) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to clause (i) of the foregoing paragraph, no later than 365 days after the Issue Date
and (y) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the foregoing paragraph, as promptly as possible after the 365th 

  
 4 

 
day after the Issue Date (such 365th day referred to in clauses (x) and (y) being the “Shelf Effectiveness Target Date”) a shelf registration statement covering resales
of the Initial Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be (the “Shelf Registration Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a “Registration Statement”) on an
appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and
Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf
Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. 
 (b) The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by
the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the date of its effectiveness or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without any limitations under clauses (c), (e), (f) and (h) thereof (the
“Shelf Registration Period”). 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to
the contrary, the Issuer 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, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply as to
form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by
Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) The Issuer shall (i) furnish to each
Initial Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser (with
respect to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering) is participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such
document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser reasonably may propose; (ii) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures”
section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section and in Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” 

section of the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and include the information set forth in Annex D
hereto in the Letter of Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; (iii) if requested by an Initial Purchaser in writing, include the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as
applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (iv) include within the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” reasonably
acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the 

  
 5 

 
Commission with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly
disseminated by the staff of the Commission or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers based upon advice of counsel (which may be inhouse counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the
Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration (or, if permitted by Commission Rule 430B(b), in a prospectus supplement that becomes a part thereof pursuant to
Commission Rule 430B(f)) that is delivered to any Holder pursuant to Section 3(d) and (f), the names of the Holders who propose to sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement as selling securityholders. 

(b) The Issuer shall give written notice to the Initial Purchasers, any Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the Issuer
has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer and, in the case of a Shelf Registration only, each Holder of the Securities (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof
shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 
 (i) when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii) of any request by the Commission after the Registration Statement has become effective for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional
information; 
 (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, of the issuance by the Commission of a notification of objection to the use of the form on which the Registration Statement has been filed, and of the happening of any
event that causes the Issuer to become an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Commission Rule 405; 

(iv) of the receipt by the Issuer or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
 (v) of the happening of any event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective that requires the Issuer to make changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the
Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor 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 light of
the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
 (c) The Issuer shall make every reasonable
effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
 (d) The Issuer shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any
post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by reference). The Issuer shall not, without prior
consent of the Initial Purchasers, make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Commission Rule 405. 
  

  
 6 

 (e) The Issuer shall deliver to each Exchanging Dealer and each Initial
Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if any Initial Purchaser
or any such Holder requests, all exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by reference). 
 (f) The Issuer
shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf
Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. The Issuer consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of
the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 

(g) The Issuer shall deliver to each Initial Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such
other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
persons may reasonably request. The Issuer consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial Purchaser, if necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such
other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in such Exchange
Offer Registration Statement. 
 (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business or as a dealer in
securities in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 

(i) The Issuer shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales
of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 

  
 7 

 (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs
(ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Issuer is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Issuer shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Parent notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the
Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the
Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus and expressly agree to maintain the information contained in such notice confidential (except that such information may
be disclosed to its counsel) until it has been publicly disclosed by the Parent; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to amend or supplement a Registration Statement or any related prospectus if (i) an event occurs
and is continuing as a result of which the Shelf Registration or any related prospectus would, in the Parent’s good faith judgment, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading (with respect to such prospectus only, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) and (ii)(a) the Parent determines in its good faith judgment that the disclosure of such event at such time would have
a material adverse effect on its business, operations or prospects or (b) the disclosure otherwise relates to a pending material business transaction that has not yet been publicly disclosed; and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice
to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j). During the period during
which the Issuer is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer will, prior to the three-year expiration of that Shelf Registration Statement, file, and use its best efforts to cause to be
declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) within a period that avoids any interruption in the ability of Holders of Securities covered by the expiring Shelf Registration Statement to make registered dispositions, a
new registration statement relating to the Securities, which shall be deemed the “Shelf Registration Statement” for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Issuer will provide a CUSIP number for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, which shall be the same CUSIP number as that of the Issuer’s existing 6.625% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2020 issued under the Base Indenture and registered under the Securities Act. 

(l) The Issuer will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are
applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earning statement satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 50 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 105 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Parent’s first fiscal quarter commencing after
the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 

  
 8 

 (m) The Issuer shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the
Issuer shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
 (n) The
Issuer may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Issuer such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Issuer may from time to time reasonably
require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Issuer may exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 

(o) In the case of an offering of Securities to an underwriter or underwriters for reoffering to the public (an
“Underwritten Offering”) pursuant to any Shelf Registration, the Issuer shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any
Holder of the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration. 
 (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Parent shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of the Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Parent and (ii) cause the Parent’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of the Securities or any such
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the
Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel
designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof; and provided, further, that each such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent shall agree in writing that it will keep such information
confidential and that it will not disclose any of the information that the Parent determines, in good faith, to be confidential and notifies them in writing are confidential unless (A) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or
correct a material misstatement or material omission in such Registration Statement or prospectus, (B) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or is reasonably
necessary in order to establish a “due diligence” defense pursuant to Section 11 of the Securities Act, or (C) the information has been made generally available to the public other than by any of such persons or their respective
affiliates; provided, however, that prior notice shall be provided as soon as practicable to the Parent of the potential disclosure of any information by such person pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of this sentence in order to
permit the Issuer to obtain a protective order (or to waive the provisions of this paragraph (p)). 
 (q) In the
case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration, the Issuer, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities in
customary form and covering matters customarily covered in opinions delivered in connection with such transactions and addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the

  
 9 

 
effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement and as of an applicable time identified by such Holders or managing underwriters; (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary
documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the applicable Securities; and (iii) its independent public accountants to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor
a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by
Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72. 
 (r) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be
consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the Issuer (or to such other Person as directed by the Issuer) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Issuer shall mark,
or cause to be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be
marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
 (s) The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
(a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously
rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or by the
managing underwriters, if any. 
 (t) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall
underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the NASD Conduct Rules (the “Rules”) of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc.) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Issuer will cooperate with such broker-dealer in complying with
the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so require, at the expense of the Holders, engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720) to
participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereof and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an
underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in
Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 

4. Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Issuer’s performance of and compliance with this Agreement will be
borne by the Issuer, regardless of whether a Registration Statement is ever filed or becomes effective, including without limitation; 
 (a) all registration and filing fees and expenses; 
 (b) all fees
and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state “blue sky” or securities laws; 

  
 10 

 (c) all expenses of printing (including printing of prospectuses), messenger
and delivery services and telephone; 
 (d) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuer; and 

(e) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Parent (including the expenses of any
special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 
 The Issuer will bear its internal expenses
(including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its or the Parent’s officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any person, including special experts,
retained by the Issuer or the Parent. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, and the fees of any counsel retained by or on behalf of the underwriters, and transfer taxes, if any, related to the sale or disposition of a
Holder’s Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement. 
 5. Indemnification. 

(a) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and
each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as
the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating
to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, or arise out of, or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus
or “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Commission Rule 433 (“Issuer FWP”), or arise out of, or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Issuer shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf
Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or
Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered (including
through satisfaction of the condition of Commission Rule 172) by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, 

  
 11 

 
claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not conveyed to such person, at or prior to the time of the sale of such Securities
to such person, an amended or supplemented prospectus or, if permitted by Section 3(d), an Issuer FWP correcting such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission if the Issuer had previously furnished copies thereof to
such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Issuer may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Issuer shall also indemnify
underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the
Securities if requested by such Holders. 
 (b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer and the Guarantors within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in
respect thereof, to which the Issuer or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, or arise out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus or Issuer FWP, or arise out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Issuer
by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Issuer for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer
or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the
Issuer or any of its controlling persons. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), 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 of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent
that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an
indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which counsel shall
not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such 

  
 12 

 
indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses or more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties, and
that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Issuer, the Guarantors, their directors and officers and any control persons of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Issuer. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, provided that such consent is not unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been
a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action,
and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient (although applicable in accordance with its terms) to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections
(a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection
(a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the exchange of the Securities,
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages 

or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the Securities

  
 13 

 
shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the
same rights to contribution as the Issuer. The obligations of the Holders hereunder are several, not joint. 

(e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) Additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) with respect to the Securities shall be assessed as
follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iii) below being herein called a “Registration Default”): 

(i) if any such Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Exchange Offer
Effectiveness Target Date or the Shelf Effectiveness Target Date, as applicable; 
 (ii) if the Registered
Exchange Offer is not consummated by the 30th day after the Exchange Offer Effectiveness Target Date; 
 (iii) if
after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, is declared (or becomes automatically) effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective; or (B) such
Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b)) in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein because (1) any event occurs as a
result of which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made not misleading, (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder or
(3) such Registration Statement is a Shelf Registration Statement that has expired before a replacement Shelf Registration Statement has become effective. 
 Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever the reason for any such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is beyond the control of the Issuer or pursuant to
operation of law or as a result of any action or inaction by the Commission. The Issuer shall promptly give written notice to the Trustee following the occurrence of a Registration Default. 

  
 14 

 
Additional Interest shall accrue on the Securities over and above the interest set forth in the title of the Securities from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall
occur to but excluding the earlier of (x) the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured and (y) the date which is two years from the Issue Date, at a rate of 0.25% per annum (the “Additional Interest
Rate”) for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default. The Additional Interest Rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all
Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum Additional Interest Rate of 1.0% per annum. In no event shall the Issuer be obligated to pay Additional Interest under more than one of the clauses in this Section 6(a) at any one time
and, in the case of a Shelf Registration, it is expressly understood that Additional Interest should be payable only with respect to Securities so requested to be registered pursuant to Section 2 hereof. 

(b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iii) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be
continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to
incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Issuer where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus, (y) other material events
with respect to the Issuer that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus or (z) the suspension of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement because the Issuer does not wish to disclose
publicly a pending material business transaction that has not yet been publicly disclosed, and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Issuer is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and
related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that if (A) in the case of a Registration Default described in clause (i)(x), such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days and
(B) in the case of a Registration Default described in clause (i)(y) or (i)(z), such Registration Default occurs for a period of more than 45 days in any three-month period or more than an aggregate of 90 days in any 12-month period, then
Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured. 

(c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 6(a) will be payable in cash on the regular interest
payment dates with respect to the Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest Rate by the principal amount of the Securities and further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of days such Additional Interest Rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360. 

(d) “Transfer Restricted Securities” means each Security until (i) the date on which such Security
has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of an Initial Security for
an Exchange Security, the date on which such Exchange Security is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, or
(iii) the date on which such Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement. 

  
 15 

 7. Agreement to Provide Information. The Parent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Parent is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities, make publicly available other information so long as reasonably necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Issuer will provide a copy of this Agreement to prospective purchasers of
Initial Securities identified to the Issuer by the Initial Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, the Issuer shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Issuer or the Parent to register any of their securities pursuant to the Exchange Act. 

8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an
Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
such Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in such offering. 
 No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering
hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and
(ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

9. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Remedies. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations under Section 1 and 2 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the
Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain
such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuer’s obligations under Sections 1 and 2 hereof. The Issuer further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into
any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with
and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Issuer’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except
by the Issuer and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent. Without the consent of the Holder of each Security, however, no
modification may change the provisions relating to the payment of Additional Interest. Subject to the foregoing sentence, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of
Holders of Securities whose Securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Securities may be given by Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement. 

  
 16

(e) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder

rights of Holders hereunder. 
 (f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Issuer, the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns. 
 (g) Counterparts. This Agreement

 (h) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 
 (i) Governing Law. THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. 
 (j) Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (k) Securities Held by the Issuer. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Issuer or
its affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given
by the Holders of such required percentage. 
 (l) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Issuer and the
Guarantors hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby. 
 (m) Judgment Currency. The obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors in respect of any sum
due to the Initial Purchasers shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by the Initial Purchasers of any sum adjudged to be so due in such
other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) the Initial Purchasers may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency; if the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum
originally due to the Initial Purchasers hereunder, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against such loss. If the United States dollars so
purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Initial Purchasers hereunder, the Initial Purchasers agree to pay to the Issuer and the Guarantors, collectively, an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum
originally due to the Initial Purchasers hereunder. 
 (n) The Parent. The Parent hereby guarantees, and
agrees to cause the Issuer to comply with, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

 ANNEX A 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange
Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Issuer has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection
with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX B 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX C 
 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for
its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a
broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Issuer has agreed that,
for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
            , all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus.1 
 The Issuer will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be
sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the
time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions
from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates
in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or concessions received by any such
persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
 For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the
Issuer will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Issuer has agreed to pay all expenses incident to
the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any broker-dealers) against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to
engage in, a distribution of Exchange Securities. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities, it acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.EX-4.3
