As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required to represent to the Company and the Guarantors that
(1) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (2) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in
the distribution 

  
 7 

 
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (3) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule
405 under the Securities Act) of the Company or any Guarantor, (4) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of
market-making or other trading activities, then such Holder will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities, (5) such Holder
holds all right, title and interest in and to the Registrable Securities to be exchanged and (6) such Holder transfers all right, title and interest in the Registrable Securities to the Company in exchange for the Exchange Securities free and
clear of all liens, encumbrances, or rights or interests of third parties. 
 As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the
Company and the Guarantors shall: 
  

	(I)	accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and 

 

	(II)	deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and
deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities tendered by such Holder; provided that if any of the Registrable Securities are in book-entry form, the Company shall, in
cooperation with the Trustee, effect the exchange of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable book-entry procedures. 

The Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall
comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than (a) that the
Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff and (b) as expressly set forth herein, including the making of the representations and warranties referred to in the second preceding paragraph and
compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the third preceding paragraph. 
 (b) In the event that (i) the Company and the
Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) hereof is not available or the Exchange Offer may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate any
applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason completed by the Target Registration Date or (iii) prior to the last Exchange Date with respect to such Exchange Offer, upon
receipt of a written 

  
 8 

 
request (a “Shelf Request”) from any Initial Purchaser representing that it holds Registrable Securities that are or were ineligible to be exchanged in such Exchange Offer, the
Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed, after the Completion Date and as soon as practicable after such determination, date or Shelf Request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement
providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective; provided that (i) no Holder will be entitled to have any Registrable Securities included in
any Shelf Registration Statement, or entitled to use the prospectus forming a part of such Shelf Registration Statement, until such Holder shall have delivered a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire and provided such other information
regarding such Holder to the Company as is contemplated by Section 3(b) hereof and, if necessary, the Shelf Registration Statement has been amended to reflect such information and (ii) the Company and the Guarantors shall be under no
obligation to file any such Shelf Registration Statement before they are obligated to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof. 

In the event that the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file and have become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof with respect to all Registrable
Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion
of the Exchange Offer. 
 The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective until the date on which the Securities covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company and the Guarantors further agree to use their commercially
reasonable efforts to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, the related Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such
Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested in writing pursuant to the notice provisions hereof by a Participating Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to
information relating to such Holder prior to the end of the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus
or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Participating Holders copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used
or filed with the SEC. 

  
 9 

 (c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any
registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions, its own attorney fees (except as such fees may be covered by clause (vii) of the
definition of Registration Expenses) and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 

(d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has
been declared effective by the SEC or otherwise becomes effective pursuant to SEC rules. A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC
or is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act or otherwise becomes effective pursuant to SEC rules. 

If a Registration Default occurs, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the
first 90-day period beginning on the day immediately following such Registration Default and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case until and including the date such Registration
Default ends, up to a maximum increase of 1.00% per annum. A Registration Default ends when the Securities cease to be Registrable Securities or, if earlier, (1) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (i) of the definition
thereof, when the Exchange Offer is completed, (2) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective or (3) in the case of a
Registration Default under clause (iv) or clause (v) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable. If at any time more than one Registration Default has
occurred and is continuing, then, until the next date that there is no Registration Default, the increase in interest rate provided for by this paragraph shall apply as if there occurred a single Registration Default that begins on the date that the
earliest such Registration Default occurred and ends on such next date that there is no Registration Default. 
 (e) The Company shall be
entitled to suspend their obligation to file any amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish any supplement or amendment to a Prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement or any Free Writing Prospectus, make any other filing with
the SEC that would be incorporated by reference into a Shelf Registration Statement, cause a Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective or the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus usable or take any similar action (collectively,
“Suspension Actions”) for one or more periods not to exceed an aggregate of 120 days during any 12-month period if there is a possible acquisition, disposition or business combination or other transaction, business development or
event involving the Company or the Guarantors that may require disclosure in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus and the Company determines in the exercise of its 

  
 10 

 
reasonable judgment (and not for the purpose of avoidance of its obligations hereunder) that such disclosure is not in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Upon the occurrence
of any of the conditions described in the foregoing sentence, the Company shall give prompt notice of the delay or suspension to the Participating Holders pursuant to Section 3(vi)(7). Upon the termination of such condition, the Company shall
promptly proceed with all Suspension Actions that were delayed or suspended and, if required, shall give prompt notice to the Participating Holders of the cessation of the delay or suspension pursuant to Section 3(vi)(7). Any such delay or
suspension shall not defer the obligations of the Company to pay additional interest provided by the paragraph above with respect to Registration Default. 

(f) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any
failure by the Company or the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) 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 Company’s
and the Guarantors obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof. 
 3. Registration Procedures. (a) In
connection with their obligations pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: 

(i) use their commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file, after the Completion Date, with the SEC a Registration Statement on the
appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (A) shall be selected by the Company and the Guarantors, (B) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof
and (C) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof; 
 (ii)
use their commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective (subject to the provisions of

sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities thereunder; and, subject to Section 3(c) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors consent to the use of such Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or such Free Writing Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the Participating Holders and any such Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by and in the manner described in such

that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each Participating Holder to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such Participating Holder; provided that neither the Company nor
any Guarantor shall be required to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (2) execute or file any general consent
to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) subject itself to taxation or service of process in any such jurisdiction if it is not so subject;

required under this Section 3(a)(vi)(7) in connection with such suspension pursuant to Section 2(e) shall not require the Company to disclose the applicable possible acquisition or business combination or other transaction, business
development or event if the Company determines in good faith that such acquisition or business combination or other transaction, business development or event should remain confidential); 

(vii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement
or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the resolution of any objection of the SEC pursuant 

  
 13 

 
to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, including by filing an amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement on the proper form, as promptly as practicable, and provide prompt notice to each
Participating Holder of the withdrawal of any such order or such resolution; 
 (viii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their
commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to each Participating Holder, without charge, upon request, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without any documents incorporated therein by
reference or exhibits thereto, unless reasonably requested), in each case, if such documents are not available via EDGAR; 
 (ix) in the
case of a Shelf Registration, unless the Registrable Securities are in book-entry or global certificate only form, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reasonably cooperate (if applicable) with the Participating Holders to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names (consistent
with the provisions of the Indenture) as such Participating Holders may reasonably request at least two Business Days prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities; 

(x) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and
file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available) to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company and the Guarantors shall notify
(it being understood and agreed that no such notice or any notice under Section 3(a)(vi)(5) shall include any material non-public information with respect to the relevant event) the Participating Holders (in the case of a Shelf Registration
Statement) and the Initial Purchasers and any Participating Broker-Dealers known to the Company (in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to suspend use of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus as promptly as practicable
after the occurrence of such an event, and such Participating Holders, such Participating Broker-Dealers and the Initial Purchasers, as applicable, hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be,
until the Company and the Guarantors have amended or supplemented the Prospectus or the Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to correct such misstatement or omission; provided that neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be required to
take any action pursuant to this Section 3(a)(x) during any suspension period pursuant to Sections 2(e) or 3(d) hereof; 

  
 14 

 (xi) a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any
Free Writing Prospectus, any amendment to a Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus or of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement, a Prospectus or a
Free Writing Prospectus after initial filing of a Registration Statement (except for current reports filed on Form 8-K filed in the ordinary course of business), provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers and their counsel (and, in
the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, to the Participating Holders and their counsel to the extent that the Company and the Guarantors have been requested to do so and provided with contact information for such counsel) and make such of the
representatives of the Company and the Guarantors as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) available for discussion
of such document at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice; and the Company and the Guarantors shall not, at any time after initial filing of a Registration Statement, file any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus, any amendment of or
supplement to a Registration Statement or a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus, or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement, a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus (except for current reports filed
on Form 8-K in the ordinary course of business), of which the Initial Purchasers and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders and their counsel (to the extent that the Company and the Guarantors
have been requested to do so and provided with contact information for such counsel)) shall not have previously been advised and, to the extent requested, furnished a copy or to which the Initial Purchasers or their counsel (and, in the case of a
Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably object in writing within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof; 

(xii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities in the case of
a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, not later than the initial effective date of a Registration Statement; 
 (xiii) use
their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the registration of the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be; cooperate 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 Trust Indenture Act; and 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; 

  
 15 

 (xiv) in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection by a representative of
the Participating Holders (an “Inspector”), any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, any attorneys and accountants designated by a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities held by the Participating Holders and any attorneys and accountants designated by such Underwriter, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company and the Guarantors to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf
Registration Statement, in each case, as is customary “due diligence” examinations of underwritten offerings and subject to such parties conducting such investigation entering into confidentiality agreements as the Company and the
Guarantors may reasonably require; provided that if any such information is identified by the Company or any Guarantor as being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such information shall take such actions as are reasonably
necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of any Inspector, Holder or Underwriter; 

(xv) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on any
securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders, to the extent such Registrable Securities satisfy applicable
listing requirements; 
 (xvi) if reasonably requested by any Participating Holder covered by a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to
Section 2(b) hereof, promptly include or incorporate by reference in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to such Participating Holder as such Participating Holder reasonably requests to be included
therein, based upon a reasonable belief that such information is required to be included therein or is necessary to make the information about such Participating Holder not misleading, and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or
such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be so included in such filing; 

(xvii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith
(including those requested by the Participating Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities
including, 

  
 16 

 
but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (1) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Participating Holders and any Underwriters of
such Registrable Securities with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any,
in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers similar to the Company to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested, (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and the
Guarantors (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Participating Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each requesting Participating Holder and Underwriter
of Registrable Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (3) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “comfort” letters from the independent registered public
accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other registered public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company or any Guarantor, or of any business acquired by the Company or any Guarantor for which financial statements
and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each Participating Holder (to the extent permitted by applicable professional standards) and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such letters to be
in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings, including but not limited to financial information contained in any preliminary prospectus, Prospectus
or Free Writing Prospectus and (4) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Participating Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and which are
customarily delivered in underwritten offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary
conditions contained in an underwriting agreement; it being agreed that the representations and warranties, opinions of counsel and comfort letters delivered in connection with the initial offering of the Securities are customary; and 

(xviii) so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, cause each Additional Guarantor upon the creation or acquisition by the
Company of such Additional Guarantor, to execute a counterpart to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A and to deliver such counterpart, together with an opinion of counsel as to the enforceability thereof against such entity, to the
Initial Purchasers no later than five Business Days following the execution thereof. 
 (b) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement,
the Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company a Notice and Questionnaire and such other information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the

  
 17 

 
Company and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably request in writing; provided that if a Holder fails to provide the requested information within ten (10) Business Days after
receiving such request, the Company or the Guarantors may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from such Shelf Registration Statement; provided further that any failure to provide such information shall not require the Company or the
Guarantors to pay any increase in interest rate provided for in Section 2 hereof. 
 (c) Each Participating Holder agrees that, upon
receipt of any notice from the Company and the Guarantors of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(vi)(3), Section 3(a)(vi)(4), Section 3(a)(vi)(5), Section 3(a)(vi)(6) or Section 3(a)(vi)(7)
hereof, such Participating Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Participating Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
and any Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(x) hereof and, if so directed by the Company and the Guarantors, such Participating Holder will deliver to the Company and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other than
permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice. 

(d) If the Company and the Guarantors shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the period of such suspension, and the Company and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be
maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement on a day-by-day basis by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall
have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions or notice from the Company and the Guarantors that such amendment or supplement is not necessary. The Company and the
Guarantors may give any such notice only twice during any 365-day period and any such suspensions shall not exceed 30 days for each suspension and there shall not be more than two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period. 

(e) The Participating Holders who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten
Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each an “Underwriter”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities
included in such offering, subject in each case to the approval of the Company and the Guarantors, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such bank or manager is internationally recognized as an underwriter of debt securities
offerings). All fees, costs and expenses of the Underwriters, except for Registration Expenses, shall be borne solely by the Holders of Registrable Securities. 

  
 18 

 (f) No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any Underwritten Offering 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. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives
Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be
deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 

The Company and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying
the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities
Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act. 

(b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use their
commercially reasonable efforts to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d)
hereof), in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above. The Company and the Guarantors further agree that,
subject to Section 3(c), Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4.

  
 19 

 (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder
with respect to any request that they may make pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof. 
 5. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial
Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees
and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or 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
(2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information
relating to any Initial Purchaser or information relating to any Holder furnished to the Company in writing through J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, any Initial Purchaser or any selling Holder,
respectively, expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and
similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above
with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information. 

(b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the
other selling Holders, the directors and officers of the Company and the Guarantors and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue

  
 20 

 
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus. Any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, shall include provisions
whereby each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders, the directors and officers of the Company and the Guarantors and each Person, if
any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and any selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph
(a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any
information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus. 

(c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted
against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification
may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (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 Person shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person
thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may
designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person 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 Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the
Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person 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 Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying 

  
 21 

 
Person and the Indemnified Person 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 Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all
Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) 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 Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, (y) for any other Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in
writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with
such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed
the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is
unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors
from the offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative 

  
 22 

 
benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other 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 Company and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (e) The
Company, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any
damages that such Holder 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
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several and not joint. 

(f) The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be
available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 
 (g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or
any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. 

  
 23 

 6. General. 

(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that (i) 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 any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor under any other agreement in effect as of
the date hereof and (ii) neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in
this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 
 (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this
Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company and the Guarantors 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 consent; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement,
waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or
consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof that relate exclusively to the rights of Holders whose
Registrable Securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that do not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose Registrable Securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by
the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Registrable Securities being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the
provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or consent thereafter shall be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 6(b), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder.  
 (c)
Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telecopier/facsimile, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a
Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth
in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Company and the Guarantors, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and 

  
 24 

 
thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other persons at their respective addresses as
provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time
delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied/faxed; 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, at the address specified in the Indenture. 

(d) Successors 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 Purchase 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 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
and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company or the Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to
comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.  
 (e) Third
Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, 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 or the rights of other Holders hereunder.

[                    ] (the “Optionee”). The award hereunder is granted pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2010 Equity and
Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined will have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan. 

1. Option. (a) Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee, as of the Date of Grant, the right and option (this
“Option”) to purchase [            ] Common Shares, at a price per Common Share of [$        ] (the “Exercise
Price”).1 This Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option for purposes of Section 422 of the Code. 

(b) Vesting. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, this Option will vest and become exercisable subject to the Optionee’s
Continuous Service (as hereinafter defined) and the achievement of Management Objectives determined by the Board and set forth on Appendix A hereto. Provided that the applicable Management Objectives are satisfied, the Common Shares subject to this
Option will vest on [            , 2016]2, subject to the Optionee’s Continuous Service on such date. 

(c) Termination of Continuous Service. If the Optionee’s continuous service with the Company (“Continuous
Service”) terminates for any reason, this Option, to the extent not then vested, will immediately terminate without consideration. 

2. Term. This Option will terminate on [            , 2025]3 (the “Option Expiration Date”); provided that if: 

(a) the Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company for any reason other than a Termination for Cause,
death, or permanent disability, then the Optionee may exercise the vested portion of this Option in full until the 90th day following such termination (at which time this Option will be
cancelled), but not later than the Option Expiration Date; 
 (b) the Optionee’s Continuous Service is voluntarily
terminated by the Optionee (except as provided in Section 2(d) below), then the Optionee may exercise the vested portion of this Option in full until the 30th day following such termination
(at which time this Option will be cancelled), but not later than the Option Expiration Date; 
 (c) the Optionee’s
Continuous Service is terminated by the Company due to the Optionee’s death or permanent disability, then the Optionee (or his or her beneficiary, in the case of death) may exercise the vested portion of this Option in full until one year
following such termination (at which time this Option will be cancelled), but not later than the Option Expiration Date; 
  

	1 	NTD: Insert Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant. 

	2 	NTD: Insert the end of the fiscal year for the first year following the Date of Grant. 

	3 	NTD: Insert 10 years from the Date of Grant. 

 (d) the Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company as a
result of a Termination for Cause (or by the Optionee at a time when the Company could terminate the Optionee under a Termination for Cause), then this Option will be cancelled upon the date of such termination; and 

(e) the Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated as a result of the Optionee’s retirement, then the Optionee may
exercise the vested portion of this Option in full until the earlier of (x) the fifth year following such retirement and (y) the Option Expiration Date. For purposes of this Agreement, whether the Optionee’s Continuous Service with
the Company has been terminated as a result of the Optionee’s retirement will be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. 
 3.
Exercise. Subject to Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, this Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, in cash or in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in accordance with
the terms of the Plan. 
 4. Adjustments. This Option will be subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 12 of the Plan.

 5. Tax Withholding. Delivery of the Common Shares purchased upon exercise of this Option will be reduced by the amount equal to
the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and other amounts required to be withheld (the “Withholding Taxes”) in connection with such exercise. Subject to the limitations of applicable law, the Company will have the power
and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Optionee to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy the Withholding Taxes with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Agreement. The Optionee is advised to
consult with the Optionee’s own tax advisors regarding the exercise of this Option and holding of the Common Shares. 
 6. Rights of
the Optionee. Neither this Option, the execution of this Agreement nor the exercise of any portion of this Option will confer upon the Optionee any right to, or guarantee of, continued employment by or service with the Company, or in any way
limit the right of the Company to terminate the Continuous Service of the Optionee at any time, subject to the terms of any written employment or similar agreement between or among the Company and the Optionee. 

7. Transfer Restrictions. This Option will be subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Plan relating to the prohibition on
the assignment or transfer of the rights granted hereunder. 
 8. Professional Advice. The acceptance and exercise of this Option may
have consequences under federal and state tax and securities laws that may vary depending upon the individual circumstances of the Optionee. Accordingly, the Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has been advised to consult his or her personal
legal and tax advisors in connection with this Agreement and this Option. 
 9. Construction. This Option is granted by the Company
pursuant to the Plan and is in all respects subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Optionee hereby

acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been delivered to the Optionee and accepts this Option subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the
event of a conflict or ambiguity between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the Plan will govern and prevail. The construction of and decisions under the Plan and this Agreement are vested in the Board, whose
determinations will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Optionee. 
 10. Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof. 
 11.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

12. Notices. Any notice hereunder by the Optionee will be given to the Company in writing and such notice will be deemed duly given
only upon receipt thereof by the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices. Any notice hereunder by the Company will be given to the Optionee in writing at the most recent address as the Optionee may have
on file with the Company. 
 13. Binding Effect. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
