“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent
Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

the Recitals.

immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.l5(5l9)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which
establishes yields on actively traded U.S. treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury constant maturities—Nominal”, for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is

from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or 

(ii)        if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the
week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

ARTICLE II 
 3.650%
Senior Notes due 2026 
 SECTION 2.01        Creation of Series; Establishment of Form.

 (a)        There is hereby established a new series of Securities under the Indenture entitled
“3.650% Notes due 2026”. 
 (b)        The form of the Notes, including the form of the
certificate of authentication, is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
 (c)        The Companies
shall issue the Notes in an aggregate principal amount of USD            . The Companies may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes in
accordance with Sections 301 and 901 of the Indenture. Any such additional Notes subsequently issued shall rank equally and ratably with the Notes in all respects (except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such
further Notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further Notes), so that such further Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and shall have the same terms as to status,
redemption or otherwise as the Notes, provided that either (i) such additional Notes are fungible with the Notes of such series offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP
number. 
 (d)        The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent
global securities, without coupons, registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary (each, a “Global Security”) and deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Any proposed transfer of an
interest in the Notes shall consist of a transfer within a Global Security and shall be effected through the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary. 

(e)        The Notes shall not have a sinking fund. 

(f)        The stated maturity of the principal of the Notes shall be February 1, 2026 (the
“Stated Maturity”). 
 (g)        The outstanding principal amount of the Notes
shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 3.650% per annum, as provided in Section 2.03. 

(h)        The Notes shall be issued in denominations of USD 1,000 in principal amount and integral
multiples of USD 1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 - 5 - 

 (i)        The Notes shall be subject to both
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance in accordance with the Indenture. 
 (j)        The Notes shall
be senior unsecured obligations of the Companies and will rank equally with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Companies. 

SECTION 2.02        Guarantee. Subject to the terms and applicable limitations set forth in
the Indenture and the form of Notes, the Notes shall be jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors as to all payments due on the Notes whether at their Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption,
repayment or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Guarantees and the Indenture. In the case of the failure of the Companies to pay punctually any principal, premium or interest on the Notes, the Guarantors shall cause any such payment to
be made as it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise. The Guarantees shall be unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors and rank equally with other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors that is currently outstanding or that they may issue in the future. 
 SECTION
2.03        Interest. The Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to 3.650% per annum, and computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months. Interest on the Notes will accrue from February 1, 2019 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be. Interest is payable
semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), subject to deferral of such payment in accordance with the definition of “Business Day”
contained in Section 1.01 hereof, commencing August 1, 2019 to the Person in whose name the Notes were registered at the close of business on the applicable Regular Record Date until the principal thereof is paid or made available for
payment. 
 SECTION 2.04        Payment of Principal, Interest and Other Amounts. Payments
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and such payments on Notes
represented by a Global Security shall be made through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Indenture to the Depositary or its nominee, as the Holder of the Global Security. Initially, the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes will be
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Companies may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, and in such an event either Company may act as Paying Agent or
Registrar. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes represented by a Global Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder thereof; 

  
 - 6 - 

 
provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Global Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. 

SECTION 2.05        Optional Redemption. 

(a)        The Companies may, at their option, redeem the Notes as a whole or in part at any time and
from time to time prior to November 1, 2025 upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, as provided in Section 1104 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 

(i)        100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and 

(ii)        as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed as if the Notes matured on November 1, 2025 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption
Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points; 

plus, in each case described above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to (but excluding) such Redemption
Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

(b)        The Companies may, at their option, redeem the Notes as a whole or in part at any time and
from time to time on or after November 1, 2025 upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, as provided in Section 1104 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to (but excluding) such Redemption Date. 

(c)        Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary) to the Holders of the Notes being redeemed (the date on which such notice is given to be termed a “Redemption Notice
Date”). 
 (d)        Unless the Companies (and/or a Guarantor) default on payment of the
redemption price, from and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On the Redemption Date, the Companies will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if
either Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in the Indenture) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. 

  
 - 7 - 

 (e)        If fewer than all of the Notes are to be
redeemed, the Trustee will select, not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis or by
such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. 
 SECTION 2.06        Optional Tax
Redemption. 
 (a)        The Companies may, at their or the Parent Guarantor’s option,
redeem the Notes in whole but not in part, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount being redeemed (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in
which either Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the interpretation, application or administration of any
such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or after October 26, 2018 (any such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax
Law”), the relevant Company or, if a payment were then due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor, would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the relevant Company or the relevant
Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that the Notes may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of a Company assigning its obligations under the Notes to a Substitute
Company (as defined in Section 801 of the Indenture), unless such assignment to a Substitute Company is undertaken as part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. 

(b)        Prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 2.06, the
relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor is or would be obligated to pay such Additional
Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law. 
 (c)        No notice of redemption pursuant to
this Section 2.06 may be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then
due.

 Exhibit A 

REVERSE OF SECURITY 

1.    Securities and Indenture 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Companies (payable in U.S. dollars) (herein called the
“Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 13, 2018 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as
                 ,   2019 (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), in each
case among the Companies, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, as Parent Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto from time to time and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which
term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Companies, the Guarantors, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 

2.    Series and Denomination 

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of USD
                 , except as provided in the Indenture. References herein to “this series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof and any
additional securities issued under the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, references herein to the “Securities” means (unless the context otherwise requires) the Securities of this series
and includes any other securities issued, as provided in the Indenture and forming a single series with the Securities of this series, provided that either (i) such additional Securities are fungible with the Securities of such series offered
hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) such additional Securities shall have a separate CUSIP number. 

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of USD 1,000 in principal amount and
integral multiples of USD 1,000 in excess thereof. 
 3.    Redemption at the
Companies’ Option 
 The Companies may, at their option, redeem the Securities of this series as a whole or in part
at any time and from time to time prior to November 1, 2025 upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior notice at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed as if the Securities matured on
November 1, 2025 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) 

  
 A-5 

 Exhibit A 

discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
(12) 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points; plus, in each case described above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to (but excluding) such Redemption Date.

 The Companies may also, at their option, redeem the Securities of this series as a whole or in part at any time and from
time to time on or after November 1, 2025 upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount being redeemed to (but excluding) such Redemption Date. 
 In the event of redemption of
this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 

4.    Optional Tax Redemption 

The Companies may, at their or the Parent Guarantor’s option, redeem the Securities of this series in whole, but not in
part, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount being redeemed (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which either
Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the interpretation, application or administration of any such laws,
treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or after October 26, 2018 (any such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”), the
relevant Company or, if a payment were then due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor, would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor taking
reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that the Securities of this series may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of the relevant Company assigning its obligations under the
Securities of this series to a Substitute Company, unless such assignment to a Substitute Company is undertaken as part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. 

Prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section, the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor will
deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor is or would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law. 

  
 A-6 

 Exhibit A 

No notice of redemption pursuant to this Section may be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on
which the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities of this series were then due. 
  

	 	5.	 Additional Amounts 

In the event that any Guarantor becomes obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities of this series, such Guarantor
will make all payments in respect of the Securities of this series without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by way of withholding or deduction at source by or on
behalf of any jurisdiction in which such Guarantor is incorporated, organized or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (the “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) unless
such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, such Guarantor will pay to the Holders of the Securities of this series such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as shall be necessary in order that the net
amounts received by the Holders, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would otherwise have been receivable in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such
Additional Amounts shall be payable on account of any taxes or duties which: 

(a)        are payable by any person acting as custodian bank or collecting agent on
behalf of such Holder, or otherwise in any manner which does not constitute a deduction or withholding by such Guarantor from payment of principal or interest made by it, or 

(b)        are payable by reason of such Holder or beneficial owner having, or having
had, some personal or business connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and not merely by reason of the fact that payments in respect of the Securities of this series or the Guarantees thereof are, or for purposes of taxation are deemed to
be, derived from sources in, or are secured in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or 

(c)        are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of such Holder or
beneficial owner to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence, or identity of the Holder and beneficial owner or to make any valid or timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any
other reporting requirements relating to such matters, whether required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice, as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of withholding or deduction of, such taxes,
or 
 (d)        consist of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer,
personal property or similar taxes, or 

  
 A-7 

 Exhibit A 

(e)        are imposed on or with respect to any payment by the applicable Guarantor
to the registered Holder of this Security if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such registered Holder
been the sole beneficial owner of this Security, or 
 (f)        are deducted or
withheld pursuant to (i) any European Union directive or regulation concerning the taxation of interest income, or (ii) any international treaty or understanding relating to such taxation and to which the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or
the European Union is a party, or (iii) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such directive, regulation, treaty or understanding, or 

(g)        are payable by reason of a change in law or practice that becomes
effective more than thirty (30) days after the relevant payment of principal or interest becomes due, or is duly provided for and written notice thereof is provided to the Holders, whichever occurs later, or 

(h)        are payable because this Security was presented to a particular paying
agent for payment if this Security could have been presented to another paying agent without any such withholding or deduction, or 

(i)        are payable for any combination of (a) through (h) above. 

References to principal or interest in respect of the Securities of this series shall be deemed to include any Additional
Amounts which may be payable as set forth in the Indenture. 
 The covenant regarding Additional Amounts shall not apply to
any Guarantor at any time when such Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, and will apply to each Company any time it is incorporated in a jurisdiction outside of the United States. 

In addition, any amounts to be paid by either Company or any Guarantor on the Securities of this series will be paid net of
any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, any current or future regulations thereunder or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered
into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the
implementation of such Sections of the Code (“FATCA Withholding”). Neither any Guarantor nor either Company will be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding. 

  
 A-8 

 Exhibit A 
  

	 	6.	 Transfer and Exchange 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is
registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Companies in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Companies and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this
series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable
for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Companies may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of
this Security for registration of transfer, the Companies, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Companies, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Companies, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

	 	7.	 Limitation on Suits 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to
institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such
Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity and/or security, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent
with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and/or security. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of
this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

  
 A-9 

 Exhibit A 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Companies, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

and obligations of the Companies or the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Companies and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding (irrespective of series) that are to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series
at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Companies and the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
  

	 	9.	 Defeasance 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with
respect to this Security upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

(a) use their commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC an Exchange Offer Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the 1933 Act with respect to a proposed Exchange Offer and the issuance and delivery to the Holders, in
exchange for the Registrable Securities, of a like principal amount of Exchange Securities, (b) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the 1933 Act within 335
days of the Closing Date, (c) use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective until the closing of the Exchange Offer, (d) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Exchange Offer, if it has been commenced, to be consummated not later than 365 days following the Closing Date and (e) for a period of 90 days following the consummation of the Exchange Offer (or such shorter period of time during which
the Participating Broker-Dealers are required by law to deliver a prospectus), to make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act to any Participating Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange
Securities acquired in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Securities will be issued under the Indenture. Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange 

  
 4 

 
Offer Registration Statement, the Issuers shall, as soon as practicable, commence the Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Exchange Offer to enable each Holder eligible and electing to
exchange Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder (i) is not an affiliate of the Issuers within the meaning of Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, (ii) is not a broker-dealer tendering Registrable Securities
acquired directly from the Issuers for its own account, (iii) acquired the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and (iv) has no arrangements or understandings with any Person to participate in the
Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy from participating in the Exchange Offer) to transfer such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or
restrictions under the 1933 Act and under state securities or blue sky laws. 
 In connection with the Exchange Offer, the
Issuers and the Guarantors shall: 
  

	 	(a)	 mail as promptly as practicable to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal (if relevant) and related documents, provided that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall only be required to mail such Prospectus to Holders of which they are aware after due
inquiry; 

  

	 	(b)	 keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for a period of not less than 20 business days (as defined in
Rule 13e-4 of the 1934 Act) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by applicable law) (such period referred to herein as the Exchange Period);

  

	 	(c)	 utilize the services of the Depositary for the Exchange Offer; 

 

	 	(d)	 permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New
York City time, on the last business day of the Exchange Period, by sending to the institution specified in the notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable
Securities delivered for exchange, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing such Holder’s election to have such Registrable Securities exchanged; 

 

	 	(e)	 notify each Holder that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue
interest, but will not retain any rights under this Agreement (except in the case of the Dealer Managers and Participating Broker-Dealers as provided herein); and 

 

	 	(f)	 otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws relating to the Exchange Offer.

 The Exchange Securities shall be issued under (a) the Indenture or (b) an indenture identical
in all material respects to the Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA, or is exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the Exchange Securities shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in
the Indenture. The Indenture or such other indenture shall provide that the Securities of any series and the equivalent Exchange Securities of such series shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities of
any series or the equivalent Exchange Securities of such series will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter other than those matters which may affect only that particular series of Securities or the equivalent Exchange
Securities of such series. 
 As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer, the Issuers shall: 

 

	 	(I)	 accept for exchange all Registrable Securities duly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the
Exchange Offer in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer 

  
 5 

	 	 
Registration Statement and the letter of transmittal (if relevant) which shall be an exhibit thereto; 

  

	 	(II)	 deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted
for exchange; and 

  

	 	(III)	 cause the Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver Exchange Securities to each Holder of Registrable
Securities so accepted for exchange in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange. Interest on each Exchange Security will accrue from the last date on which interest was
paid on the Registrable Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Registrable Securities, from the Closing Date. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than (A) that the
Exchange Offer, or the making of any exchange by a Holder, does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, (B) the valid tendering of Registrable Securities in accordance with the Exchange Offer,
(C) that each Holder of Registrable Securities exchanged in the Exchange Offer shall have represented that (i) all Exchange Securities to be received by it shall be acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that at the time of
the consummation of the Exchange Offer it shall have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) of the Securities or Exchange Securities, (ii) it is not prohibited by
any law or policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (iii) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of Exchange Securities (iv) if such Holder is a
broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and it will be required to acknowledge that it
will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of Exchange Securities and (v) it shall have made such other representations as may be reasonably requested by the Issuers, or as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules,
regulations or interpretations to render the use of Form F-4 or other appropriate form under the 1933 Act available, (E) that no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court
or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the Exchange Offer which, in the Issuers’ judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Issuers to proceed with the Exchange Offer and (F) that the Exchange
Offer will be made to all Holders other than to any Holder of the European Economic Area to whom the Exchange Offer cannot be made without requiring the production of a prospectus for the purposes of the Directive 2003/71/EC (which may be certified
or validated by way of representations from Holders of Registrable Securities). The Issuers shall inform the Dealer Managers of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Dealer Managers shall have the right,
subject to applicable law, to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable Securities in the Exchange Offer. 

Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Agreement, the Issuers and Guarantors shall have no further
obligation to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to Clause 2.2 of this Agreement. 
  

	2.2	 Shelf Registration 

(a)(i) If, because of any changes in law, SEC rules or regulations or applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the
SEC, the Issuers determine after consultation with their outside counsel that they are not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer as contemplated by Clause 2.1 hereof, (ii) if for any other reason the Exchange Offer is not consummated within
365 days of the Closing Date, (iii) upon the written request of any Dealer Manager holding Registrable Securities that are not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer and held by it following the

  
 6 

 
consummation of the Exchange Offer or (iv) upon notice of any Holder (other than a Dealer Manager) given to the Issuers in writing during the Exchange Period that (A) due to a change in
law or SEC policy it is not entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer, (B) due to a change in law or SEC policy it may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and
the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Registrable Securities acquired directly from the Issuers or an
affiliate of the Issuers, then in case of each of paragraphs (i) through (iv) the Issuers and the Guarantors shall, at their expense: 
  

	 	(I)	 As promptly as practicable and within 30 days from the date on which any of the conditions described in the
foregoing clauses (i) - (iv) occur, including in the cases of clauses (iii) and (iv) the receipt of notice (each a Trigger Event) (but in no case earlier than 275 days following the Closing Date), use commercially reasonable efforts to
file with the SEC, and thereafter shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 90 days after the Trigger Event (but in no case earlier than 335 days following
the Closing Date), a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Majority Holders participating in the Shelf
Registration and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement. 

  

	 	(II)	 Use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in
order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period of one year from the Trigger Event, or for such shorter period that will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement
have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or cease to be outstanding or otherwise to be Registrable Securities (the Effectiveness Period); provided, however, that the Effectiveness Period in respect of the Shelf Registration
Statement shall be extended up to a maximum of 90 days if necessary to permit dealers to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the 1933 Act and as otherwise provided herein. 

 

	 	(III)	 Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
(i) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any 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 and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented from time to time), does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

(b) The Issuers and the Guarantors agree (i) not to permit any securities other than Registrable Securities to be
included in the Shelf Registration Statement and (ii), if necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, as required by Clause 3(b) below, and to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or
amendment as promptly as reasonably practicable after its being used or filed with the SEC. 
  

	2.3	 Expenses 

The Issuers and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Clause 2.1
or 2.2. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and 

  
 7 

 
commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 

 

	2.4	 Effectiveness. 

 

	(a)	 The Issuers and the Guarantors will be deemed not to have used their respective commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite period if any Issuer or Guarantor voluntarily takes any action that would, or
omits to take any action which omission would result in (i) any such Registration Statement not being declared effective or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such
Registrable Securities during that period as and to the extent contemplated hereby, unless (i) such action is required by applicable law, or (ii) such action is taken in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of
the Issuers’ or the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as the Issuers and the Guarantors promptly thereafter comply with the requirements of Clause 3(k) hereof, if applicable.

  

	(b)	 An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Clause 2.1 hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement
pursuant to Clause 2.2 hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed
not to be effective during the period of such interference, until the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume. 

 

	2.5	 Interest 

In the event that either (a) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the
335th calendar day following the Closing Date, (b) the Exchange Offer is not consummated, on or prior to the 365th calendar day following the Closing Date, or (c) a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective within the time
period specified in Section 2.2.(a)(I) (each such event referred to in (a) through (c) above, a Registration Default), the interest rate borne by the Securities shall be increased (Additional Interest) by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default; provided, however, that no Additional Interest shall be payable if the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is not filed or declared effective or the Exchange Offer is not consummated on account of the reasons set forth in Clause 2.2 (a)(i) (it being understood, however, that in any such case the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be
obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement and Additional Interest shall be payable if the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective in accordance with Clause 2.2(a)(I)), that no Additional Interest shall be payable if the Shelf
Registration Statement is not declared effective as set forth above because the request under Clause 2.2(a)(iii) or notice under Clause 2.2.(a)(iv) was not made on a timely basis; and provided, further, that Additional Interest shall only be payable
in case the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective as aforesaid. 
 Immediately following the cure of a
Registration Default, the accrual of Additional Interest with respect to that particular Registration Default will cease. 

If the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective but becomes unusable by the Holders of Registrable Securities
covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (Shelf Registrable Securities) for any reason, and the aggregate number of days in any consecutive 12-month period for which the Shelf Registration Statement
shall not be usable exceeds 30 days in the aggregate, then the interest rate borne by the Shelf Registrable Securities will be increased by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the principal amount
of the Securities beginning on the 31st such day that 

  
 8 

 
such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be usable. Upon the Shelf Registration Statement once again becoming usable, the interest rate borne by the Shelf Registrable Securities will be
reduced to the original interest rate. Additional Interest shall be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed in each 30-day period in which the Shelf Registration Statement is unusable. 

The Issuers shall notify the Trustee within five Business Days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect
of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an Event Date). Additional Interest shall be paid by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Registrable Securities entitled to receive the interest
payment, on or before the applicable semiannual interest payment date, immediately available funds in sums sufficient to pay the Additional Interest then due. The Additional Interest due shall be payable on each interest payment date to the record
Holder of Registrable Securities entitled to receive the interest payment to be paid on such date as set forth in the Indenture. Each obligation to pay Additional Interest shall be deemed to accrue from and including the day following the applicable
Event Date.

the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor shall be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities
in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Clause 3(d), (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject, or

15 of the 1934 Act, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for post-effective amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement has

Statement is effective which makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make
the statements therein not misleading, (vi) of the receipt by the Issuers of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, for sale in any

market-making activities or other trading activities and that will be the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Securities to be received by such broker-dealer in the
Exchange Offer, whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated 

  
 10 

	 	 
by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of the Dealer Managers on behalf of the Participating Broker-Dealers and its counsel, represent the prevailing
views of the staff of the SEC, including a statement that any such broker-dealer who receives Exchange Securities for Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be deemed a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting
the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities, (ii) furnish to each Participating Broker-Dealer who has delivered to the Issuers the notice referred to in Clause 3(e), without charge, as many copies

 and

be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) and registered in such names as the selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, may reasonably request at least three Business Days prior to the closing of any sale of Shelf
Registrable Shelf Securities; 

  

	 	(k)	 in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any facts, each as

Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shelf Registrable Securities or Participating Broker-Dealers, such
Prospectus will not contain at the time of such delivery any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. At
such time as such public disclosure is otherwise made or the Issuers determine that such disclosure is not necessary, in each case to correct any misstatement of a material fact or to include any omitted material fact, the Issuers agree promptly to
notify each Holder of such determination and to furnish each Holder with such number of copies of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, as such Holder may reasonably request and the Dealer Managers, on their own behalf and on behalf of
subsequent Holders, hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Issuers have amended or supplemented to correct such misstatement or omission; 

  

	 	(l)	 obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Shelf Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not
later than the effective date of a Registration Statement applicable to such securities, and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for the Exchange Securities, or the Registrable Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit
with the Depositary, which CUSIP numbers shall, upon request by the Issuers, be provided by the Dealer Managers; 

  

	 	(m)	 (i) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA in connection with the registration of the Exchange
Securities or Shelf Registrable Securities, as the case may be, (ii) co-operate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so
qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA and (iii) execute, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents
required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 

  

	 	(n)	 in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into customary agreements (including underwriting agreements) and
take all other customary and appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Shelf Registrable Securities, as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders, and in such connection whether or not an underwriting
agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an underwritten registration: 

  

	 	(I)	 make such representations and warranties to the Holders of such Shelf Registrable Securities and the
underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten offerings as may be reasonably requested by them; 

 

	 	(II)	 obtain opinions of United States and local counsel to the Issuers and the Guarantors and updates thereof
(which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) 

  
 12 

	 	 
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Shelf Registrable Securities being sold and their respective
counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters
with such customary exceptions and qualifications as contained in the opinions delivered pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement; 

  

	 	(III)	 obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Parent Guarantor’s independent
certified public accountants (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any material subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or of any business directly or indirectly acquired by the Parent Guarantor for which financial
statements are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each selling Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities (to the extent permitted by applicable professional standards) and the underwriters, if any, as may be
reasonably requested by the Majority Holders, with such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters to underwriters in connection with similar underwritten offerings, such
letters to be agreed upon by the selling Holders and underwriters and such accountants, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld; 

  

	 	(IV)	 if so requested by the Majority Holders, enter into a securities sales agreement with the Holders and an
agent of the Holders providing for, among other things, the appointment of such agent for the selling Holders for the purpose of soliciting purchases of Shelf Registrable Securities, which agreement shall be in form, substance and scope customary
for similar offerings; 

  

	 	(V)	 if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to set forth indemnification provisions and
procedures substantially equivalent to the indemnification provisions and procedures set forth in Clause 4 hereof with respect to the underwriters and all other parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section or, at the request of any
underwriters, in the form customarily provided to such underwriters in similar types of transactions; provided that such underwriting agreement shall contain customary provisions regarding indemnification of the Issuers with respect to information
provided by the underwriter; and 

  

	 	(VI)	 deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested and as are customarily delivered in
similar offerings to the Majority Holders of the Shelf Registrable Securities being sold and the managing underwriters, if any. 

The above shall be done at (A) the effectiveness of such Registration Statement (and each post-effective amendment
thereto) and (B) each closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder; 
  

	 	(o)	 in the case of a Shelf Registration or if a Prospectus is required to be delivered by any Participating
Broker-Dealer in the case of an Exchange Offer, for a reasonable period of time preceding the filing of the applicable Registration Statement and prior to the execution of any applicable underwriting agreement, make available for inspection by
representatives of the Holders of the Shelf Registrable Securities who are selected by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Shelf Registrable Securities, any underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement, any Participating Broker-Dealer, any Special Counsel or any accountant retained by any of the foregoing, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Issuers and the Guarantors
reasonably requested by any such persons, and cause the respective officers, 

  
 13 

	 	 
directors, employees, and any other agents of the Issuers and the Guarantors to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, Special Counsel or accountant
in connection with a Registration Statement, and make such representatives of the Issuers and the Guarantors available for discussion of such documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Dealer Managers, provided, however that such records,
documents or information which the Issuers identify as being confidential shall not be disclosed by the representative, Holder, attorney or accountant unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid or
correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement; (ii) the release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or as part of the evidentiary
procedures of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) such records, documents or information have previously been generally made available to the public, and the Issuers shall be entitled to require that such persons sign a confidentiality
agreement to that effect; 

  

	 	(p)	 in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a reasonable time prior to the filing of any
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, any Prospectus forming a part thereof, any amendment to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Dealer Managers and to
their counsel and make such changes in any such document prior to the filing thereof as the Dealer Managers or such counsel may reasonably request and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, not file any such document in a form to which the
Dealer Managers and their counsel shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy of or to which the Dealer Managers or their counsel shall reasonably object, and make the representatives of the Issuers and the Guarantors available for
discussion of such documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Dealer Managers; 

  

	 	(q)	 in the case of a Shelf Registration, a reasonable time prior to filing any Shelf Registration Statement, any
Prospectus forming a part thereof, any amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities, to the Dealer Managers, to Special
Counsel and to the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Shelf Registrable Securities, if any, make such changes in any such document prior to the filing thereof as the Dealer Managers, Special Counsel or the underwriter or
underwriters reasonably request and not file any such document in a form to which the Majority Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities, the Dealer Managers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities, Special Counsel or any underwriter shall
not have previously been advised and furnished a copy of or to which such Majority Holders, the Dealer Managers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities, Special Counsel or any underwriter shall reasonably object, and make the
representatives of the Issuers and the Guarantors available for discussion of such document as shall be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders of Registrable Securities, the Dealer Managers on behalf of Holders of Registrable Securities,
Special Counsel or any underwriter; 

  

	 	(r)	 in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Exchange
Securities and Shelf Registrable Securities to be listed on any securities exchange on which similar debt securities issued by the Issuers are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders or if requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an
underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any, which request shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Majority Holders or underwriters, as applicable, be for purposes of facilitating the sale or resale of the Exchange Securities or Shelf
Registrable Securities; 

  

	 	(s)	 in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf
Registrable Securities to be rated by the same nationally recognized statistical rating 

  
 14 

	 	 
agencies rating the Registrable Securities, if so requested by the Majority Holders, or if requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if
any; 

  

	 	(t)	 otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make available to their security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 

 

	 	(u)	 co-operate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA
and, in the case of a Shelf Registration, in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter and its counsel (including any “qualified independent underwriter” that is required to be retained in accordance with the
rules and regulations of FINRA); and 

  

	 	(v)	 upon consummation of an Exchange Offer, obtain customary opinions of counsel to the Issuers and the
Guarantors addressed to the Trustee, if so required by the Trustee, which includes opinions that (i) the Issuers and the Guarantors have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Exchange Securities, as applicable, and the related indenture
and guarantees, and (ii) each of the Exchange Securities and guarantees and related indenture constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Issuers and the Guarantors in accordance
with its respective terms (with customary exceptions). 

 In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement,
the Issuers may (as a condition to such Holder’s participation in the Shelf Registration) require each Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to furnish to the Issuers such information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such
Holder of such Shelf Registrable Securities as the Issuers may from time to time reasonably request in writing for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, including without limitation, information
specified in Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act and the Issuers may exclude from such registration the Shelf Registrable Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such
information within a reasonable time after receiving such request . 
 In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each
Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuers of the happening of any event or the discovery of any facts, each of the kind described in Clause 3(e)(v)-(vii) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Clause 3(k) hereof, and, if so directed by the Issuers, such Holder will deliver to the Issuers
(at their expense) all copies in such Holder’s possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Shelf Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 

Without prejudice to the obligation in Clause 2.5 to pay additional interest relating to periods when the Shelf Registration
Statement is not available, during any 365-day period, the Issuers, upon notice to the Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, may suspend the availability of such
Registration Statement for up to two periods of up to 45 consecutive days (except for the consecutive 45-day period immediately prior to the maturity of the Securities), but not more than an aggregate of 60
days during any 365-day period, if the Issuers’ Boards of Directors determine in good faith that there is a valid purpose for the suspension. 

If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering,
the underwriter or underwriters and manager or managers that will manage such offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of such Registrable Securities included in such offering, provided such selection is acceptable to the Issuers. No Holder
of Registrable 

  
 15 

 
Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the
terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
  

	4.	 INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION 

 

	4.1	 The Issuers and the Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Managers, each Holder, each
Participating Broker-Dealer, each Person who participates as an underwriter in an offering of Shelf Registrable Securities (any such Person being an Underwriter), each of their respective directors, officers and affiliates and each Person, if
any, who controls any Holder or Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	 against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, as incurred, arising out of any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Securities or Shelf Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act,
including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d)
under the 1933 Act or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

 

	 	(b)	 against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate
amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission; provided that (subject to Clause 4.3 below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; and 

 

	 	(c)	 against any and all expense, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any
indemnified party as provided therein), reasonably incurred in investigating or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (a) or (b) above; 

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the
extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by the Holder or Underwriter expressly for use in a Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free Writing Prospectus. 

The indemnity provided for in this Clause 4 will be in addition to any liability that the Issuers or the Guarantors may
otherwise have to the indemnified parties. 
  

	4.2	 Each Holder severally, but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers and the
Guarantors, the Dealer Managers, each Underwriter and the other selling Holders, and each of their 

  
 16 

	 	 
respective directors, officers and affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuers, the Dealer Managers, any Underwriter or any other selling Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Clause 4.1 hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Issuers by such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto or any Free Writing Prospectus) or such Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement. 

  

	4.3	 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Clause 4 of notice of the commencement of any
action for which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Clause 4, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Clause 4, notify the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (a) will not relieve it from any liability under Clause 4.1 or 4.2 above unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the
indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (b) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Clause 4.1 or 4.2 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; provided, however, that 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 defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall
not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable
to such indemnified party under this Clause 4 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified
party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more
than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Dealer Managers,
Holders or Underwriters in the case of Clause 4.1 or the Issuers or Guarantors in the case of Clause 4.2, representing the indemnified parties under such clause, who are parties to such action or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying party has
authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this Clause 4.3 shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. After such notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any 

  
 17 

	 	 
settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such
indemnified party waived in writing its rights under this Clause 4, in which case the indemnified party may effect such a settlement without such consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party,
effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by any indemnified party, unless such settlement
(A) includes an unconditional written release of the indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not
include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

  

	4.4	 If the indemnification provided for in this Clause 4 is for any reason unavailable to hold harmless an
indemnified party (other than by reason of the first sentence of Clause 4.3) in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and the Holders and the Dealer Managers on the other
hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 

The relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and the Holders and the Dealer Managers on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers, the Holders or the Dealer
Managers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

The Issuers, the Holders and the Dealer Managers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Clause 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Dealer Managers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above
in this Clause 4. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Clause 4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 4, in no event shall any Dealer
Manager be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the total fees received by it under the Dealer Manager Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Dealer Manager has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 
 No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

For purposes of this Clause 4, each Person, if any, who controls a Dealer Manager or Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees and affiliates shall have the same rights to contribution as such Dealer Manager or Holder, and each Person, if
any, who controls an Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each of the Issuers’ directors, officers, 

  
 18 

 
agents, employees and affiliates shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers. The Dealer Managers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Clause 4 are several in
proportion to the respective fees paid to such Dealer Managers under the Dealer Manager Agreement. 
  

	5.	 MISCELLANEOUS 

 

	5.1	 Rule 144 and Rule 144A 

For so long as the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the
1934 Act, the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor covenant that they will use reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by each of them under the 1933 Act and Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules
and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner. If the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor cease to be so required to file such reports, the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor covenant that they will upon the request of any Holder of
Registrable Securities (a) make publicly available such information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (b) deliver such information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary under applicable rules and
regulations to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, and (c) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in
each case, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such
Rule may be amended from time to time, (ii) Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities, the Issuers will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether they have complied with such requirements. The Issuers’ obligations under this Clause 5.1 shall terminate upon the later of the consummation of the Exchange
Offer and the Effectiveness Period. 
  

	5.2	 No Inconsistent Agreements 

The Issuers and the Guarantors have not entered into and the Issuers and the Guarantors will not after the date of this
Agreement enter into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not and
will not for the term of this Agreement in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the Issuers’ other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements. 

 

	5.3	 Amendments and Waivers 

The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuers have obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by
such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or departure. 
  

	5.4	 Notices 

All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered
first-class mail, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Issuers by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 5.4,
which address initially is the address set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement with respect to the Dealer Managers; and (b) if to the Issuers, initially at the Issuers’ addresses set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement, and

  
 19 

 
thereafter at such other address of which notice is given in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 5.4. 

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally
delivered; two Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. 

Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the person giving the same to
the Trustee under the Indenture, at the address specified in such Indenture. 
  

	5.5	 Successor and Assigns 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the
parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of
the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of
the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions on
resale set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Dealer Manager Agreement, and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. 
  

	5.6	 Third Party Beneficiaries 

Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuers
and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Dealer Managers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder. The Dealer
Managers (even if the Dealer Managers are not Holders of Registrable Securities) shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, and
shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect their rights or the rights of Holders hereunder. 

 

	5.7	 Specific Enforcement 

Without limiting the remedies available to the Dealer Managers and the Holders, the Issuers and the Guarantors acknowledge
that any failure by the Issuers and the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Clauses 2.1 through 2.4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Dealer Managers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law,
that it would not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Dealer Managers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuers’ and the
Guarantors’ obligations under Clauses 2.1 through 2.4 hereof. 
  

	5.8	 Counterparts 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

  
 20 

	5.9	 Headings 

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

	5.10	 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL 

  

	(a)	 THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN 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 WHOLLY THEREIN, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PROVISIONS THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW. 

 

	(b)	 Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding against
it with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter arising out of or based on this Agreement may be brought in any United States federal or state court in the State of New York, County of New York. 

 

	(c)	 Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

  

	5.11	 Severability 

In the event that 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. 

 

	5.12	 Guarantors 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the registration of the Securities pursuant to an Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Clause 2.1 or Clause 2.2 of this Agreement would, under the rules, regulations or interpretations of the SEC, require a Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor) to
include its financial statements in any such Registration Statement or periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, the guarantee of such Guarantor (each, a Guarantee) shall not be applicable to any Securities so registered on a
Registration Statement and shall be terminated in accordance with the Indenture; and, moreover, the relevant Guarantor will be under no obligation to issue such Guarantee with respect to any Exchange Securities. In addition, to the extent it is
deemed reasonably necessary for purposes of meeting the requirements of Rule 3-10 under Regulation S-X under the 1933 Act (or any successor or similar regulation or
exemption) in order for financial statements of such Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor) not to be required to be included in any Registration Statement or periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, such Guarantor shall be entitled
to amend or modify the terms of its Guarantee with respect to the Securities or the Exchange Securities or the limitations applicable to its Guarantee, in any respect in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
