SIFCO INDUSTRIES, INC.
CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

1.PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT/TERM OF AGREEMENT.  
(a)    The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2(c) below) of the Company, and the uncertainties and risks that a Change in Control would pose for the Executive. To this end, the Board desires to encourage the Executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company, currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change in Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements in the event of his termination of employment following a Change in Control which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and which are competitive with those of other similar corporations.  The Board has further determined that, during the Term (as defined below) it is appropriate to provide the Executive with severance pay and certain welfare benefits in the event the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for reasons other than Cause (as defined in Section 2(b) below) or by the executive with Good Reason (as defined in Section 2(f) below) and such termination is not in connection with or as a result of a Change in Control.
(b)    Except as provided in Section 1(c) below, this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall extend from the date set forth above and expire on the second anniversary of the closing date of the Change in Control transaction (the "Expiration Date.")  After the Expiration Date, the parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)    The obligations with respect to a Qualifying Termination as set forth under Section 2(g)(ii) shall extend from the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring at the close of business on the third anniversary of such Effective Date (the “Term”).

(g)    A “Qualifying Termination” is deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement if (i) there is a Change in Control and, on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing date of the Change in Control transaction, the Executive’s employment with the Company is either involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause or the Executive terminates employment with the Company for Good Reason, or (ii)  the Executive's termination of employment by the Company for reasons other than Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason.

3.    NOTICE OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Company shall provide the Executive with written notice of the occurrence of a Change in Control in accordance with Section 13(b) of this Agreement within two (2) weeks after such Change in Control.
4.    NOTICE OF TERMINATION. 
(a)    Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 13(b) of this Agreement.

The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.
(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the 

- 5 -

Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date (within thirty (30) days after that date) specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company, other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the disability effective date, as the case may be.
5.    BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT THAT IS A QUALIFYING TERMINATION.
(a)    In the event of a Qualifying Termination, the Executive shall receive the benefits described in Exhibit A attached hereto; provided, however, that no payments, reimbursements, or in-kind benefits shall be made unless the Qualifying Termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409(A) of the Code, and the final regulations issued thereunder (“Section 409(A)”).
(b)    If at the time of the Executive's “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A) the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and the Company's specified employee identification policy, if any) and if the deferral of commencement of any payments, reimbursements and/or in-kind benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such separation from service is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then, to the extent one or more exceptions to Section 409A are inapplicable (including, without limitation, the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) relating to separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service and its requirement that installments must be paid no later than the last day of the second taxable year following the taxable year in which the specified employee incurs the involuntary separation from service), then the Company shall defer the commencement of any such payments, reimbursements, and in-kind benefits (without any reduction in such payments, reimbursements, or in-kind benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) until the earlier of: (X) the date of the Executive's death, (Y) the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A; or (Z) the first business day of the seventh month following the month of the Executive's separation from service, at which time all delayed payments, reimbursements, and in-kind benefits otherwise due during the first six months following the Executive's separation from service, shall be made, reimbursed, or provided in a lump sum on the first business day of such seventh month, and any other payments, reimbursements, or provisions shall be made in the normal course.
(c)    All in-kind benefits provided hereunder shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) the provision of benefits in-kind during a calendar year shall not affect the provision of in-kind benefits in any other calendar year; (ii) the right to in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and 

- 6 -

(iii) each provision of in-kind benefit shall be one of a series of separation payments (and each shall be construed as a separate identified payment) for purposes of Section 409A.
6.    DEATH. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement.
7.    DISABILITY. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive hereunder.
8.    RETIREMENT. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s retirement from the Company at or after age 65, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive hereunder.
9.    CAUSE; OTHER THAN FOR GOOD REASON. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Executive for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive hereunder.
10.    OTHER EMPLOYMENT; LEGAL REPRESENTATION. Any severance benefits described in Exhibit A hereto to which the Executive is entitled will not be reduced by any remuneration the Executive may receive from employment with another employer following a Qualifying Termination.  In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.  The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement.
11.    NO TAX GROSS-UP PAYMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any portion of the compensation under the Agreement, or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company (in the aggregate “Total Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), then the payments to be made to the Executive under the Agreement shall be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any successor provision thereto. The payments to be made to Executive hereunder shall not be subject to any "gross-up" or other increase should  those payments be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any successor provision thereto.  The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to reduce the payments to be made to the Executive under the Agreement because such reduction will provide a more favorable after-tax result for the Executive with respect to the excise taxes described in this Section.  The calculation of such potential excise tax liability, as well as the method in which any compensation reduction is applied, shall be conducted 

- 7 -

and determined by the Company’s independent accountants, whose determinations shall be binding on all parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such compensation reduction shall be in accordance with the following order of priority:  (i) first, “full Credit Payments” (as defined below) will be reduced in reverse chronological order such that the payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the reduction will be the first payment to be reduced until such payment is reduced to zero, and then the payment owed on the next latest date following occurrence of the event triggering the reduction will be the second payment to be reduced until such payment is equal to zero, and so forth, until all such Full Credit Payments have been reduced to zero, and (ii) second, “Partial Credit Payments” (as defined below) will be reduced in reverse chronological order in the same manner as “Full Credit Payments” are reduced.  “Full Credit Payment” means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar ($1.00) reduces the amount of a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, without regard to Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code) by one dollar ($1.00).  “Partial Credit Payment” means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar ($1.00) reduces the amount of a parachute payment by an amount that is less than one dollar ($1.00).  For clarification purposes only, a “Partial Credit Payment” would include a stock option as to which vesting is accelerated upon an event that triggers the reduction, where the in the money value of the option exceeds the value of the option acceleration that is added to the parachute payment.”
12.    SUCCESSORS. 
(a)    This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.
(b)    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.
(c)    The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.
13.    Section 409A of the Code.  It is intended that this Agreement comply with provisions of section 409A of the Code, so as to prevent inclusion in gross income of any amounts deferred hereunder in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year or years in which such amounts would otherwise actually be paid or made available to Executive or Executive’s Beneficiary.  The Agreement shall be construed, administered and governed in a manner that effects such intent.

14.    MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

(e)    The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 2(f) of this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

BENEFITS

a.SEVERANCE.  In the event the Executive becomes eligible for benefits under Section 5 of the Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive or, if applicable, to the Executive’s legal representative, or the Executive’s Beneficiary in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s Date of Termination (subject to the provision of Section 5 of the Agreement) an amount equal to the product of (i) Two (2.0) multiplied by (ii) the Executive’s annual salary preceding the Executive's Date of Termination.    
b.    WELFARE BENEFITS.  In the event the Executive becomes eligible for benefits under Section 5 of the Agreement, for twenty-four (24) months after the Executive’s Date of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the applicable welfare benefit plan, program, practice or policy, the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the Company’s welfare benefit plans, programs, practices and policies if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the Company shall discontinue such benefits as of such eligibility date.
c.    ENHANCED RIGHTS REGARDING STOCK AWARDS.  In the event the Executive becomes eligible for benefits under Section 5 of the Agreement as a result of a Qualifying Termination, unless previously forfeited, or unless limited pursuant to Section 11 of the Agreement or any similar provision in any agreement evidencing a long-term stock incentive award (each, a “LTIA Agreement”), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a LTIA Agreement, all long-term stock incentive awards held by the Executive (whether in the form of options, phantom units, performance shares, restricted shares or other similar long-term stock incentive awards) shall vest on a pro rata basis upon the occurrence of the Qualifying Termination.  The pro rata vesting will be determined by applying a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months between and including the first month of the applicable performance period and the month of the Qualifying Termination, and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the applicable performance period to the award.  In addition, if the Qualifying Termination occurs within two years after a Change in Control and any portion of any award of Performance Shares to the Executive under the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan of the Company did not vest as of the date of such Change in Control (the “non-vested Performance Shares”) pursuant to the applicable LTIA Agreement, then, unless limited pursuant to Section 11 of the Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) of the Agreement, the Company shall make a lump sum cash payment to the Executive within 

thirty (30) days after the Qualifying Termination equal to the product of (i) the cash equivalent of one share of stock as of the date of the Change in Control and (ii) the number of non-vested Performance Shares.

Affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf to publishers of publicly available databases about the terms of the Securities shall include a statement that the Securities have not been registered under the Act and are subject to the
restrictions under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Act. 
 (j) None of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective Affiliates, or any
person acting on its or their behalf will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Securities in the United States. 

(k) For so long as any of the Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Act, the Company
will, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, provide to each holder of such restricted securities and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of such
restricted securities, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers
designated by such holders, from time to time of such restricted securities. 

  
 14 

 (l) The Company and the Guarantors will cooperate with the Representative and use their
respective commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

 (o) The Company will, until the Closing Date, furnish
to the Representative (i) all reports or other communications (financial or other) generally made available to stockholders, and deliver such reports and communications to the Representative as soon as they are available, unless such documents
are furnished to or filed with the Commission or any securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company is listed and generally made available to the public and (ii) such additional information concerning the business and
financial condition of the Company as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request (such statements to be on a consolidated basis to the extent the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in reports furnished to
stockholders). 
 (p) The Company will comply with all applicable securities and other laws, rules and regulations, including, without
limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and use its best efforts to cause the Company’s directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. 
 (q) The Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of the Securities and the offering

 15 

 
for the Initial Purchasers relating to such registration and qualification); (viii) admitting the Securities for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company; (ix) the

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Initial Purchasers. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the
Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained herein at the Execution Time and the Closing Date (as though made on such Closing Date), to the accuracy of the statements
of the Company and the Guarantors made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of their respective obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent: 

(a) The Company shall have requested and caused (i) Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, counsel for the Company, to furnish to the
Representative its opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, to the effect of the substantive paragraphs set forth on Annex B-1 hereto, and (ii) Holland and Knight LLP, local counsel for Nuance Document Imaging,
Inc., to furnish to the Representative its opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, to the effect of the substantive paragraphs set forth on Annex B-2 hereto. 

(b) The Representative shall have received from Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers, such opinion or
opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Indenture, the Disclosure Package, the Final Memorandum (as amended or supplemented at the Closing Date) and other
related matters as the Representative may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. 

(c) The Company shall have furnished to the Representative a certificate of the Company (as to the items specified in (i) and
(ii) below) and of each Guarantor (as to the items specified in (i) below), signed by (x) the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and (y) the principal financial or accounting officer of the
Company or the Guarantor, respectively, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum and any amendments or supplements thereto, and this Agreement
and that: 
 (i) the representations and warranties of the Company and each Guarantor, as applicable, in this Agreement are
true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date, and the Company and each Guarantor, as applicable, has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed
or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; and 

  
 16 

 (ii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or
properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of
any amendment or supplement thereto). 
 (d) At the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, the Company shall have requested and caused BDO
USA, LLP to furnish to the Representative letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative. 

(e) On the date hereof, the Representatives shall have received a written certificate executed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company,
the form of which is attached as Schedule III hereto. 
 (f) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which
information is given in the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the
letter or letters referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 6; or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or
properties of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any
amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with
the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 

(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time and prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have
been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the debt securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by
any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act. 

(h) The Securities shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company. 

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and each Guarantor shall have furnished to the Representative such further information,
certificates and documents as the Representative may reasonably request. 

  
 17 

 If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and
as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, this
Agreement and all obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representative. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile
confirmed in writing. 
 The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 will be delivered at the office of counsel for the
Initial Purchasers, at 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, on the Closing Date. 
 7. Reimbursement of Expenses. If the
sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or
because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Guarantor to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company will
reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. 

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each of the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written
Information or any other written information used by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified
party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors will
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Memorandum, the
Final Memorandum, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or any Guarantor by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representative
specifically for inclusion therein it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in Subsection (b) below. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have. 

  
 18 

 (b) Each Initial Purchaser severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each Guarantor, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers, and each person who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to information furnished to the Company or any Guarantor by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representative specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum, the
Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that the statements set forth under
(i) the third paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” and (ii) the heading “Plan of Distribution—Stabilization and Short Positions” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum constitute the
only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto. 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will
not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and
(ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to
appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party
shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided,
however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified
party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party
to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party
shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified
party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or 

  
 19 

 
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising
out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company, each Guarantor and the Initial Purchasers severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, each Guarantor and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any
Initial Purchaser be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is
unavailable for any reason, the Company, each Guarantor and the Initial Purchasers severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and each
Guarantor on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the
Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and
commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by
the Company or the Guarantors on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company,
each Guarantor and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, Affiliate and agent of an Initial
Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company or any
Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or any Guarantor, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 

  
 20 

 9. Default by an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to
purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial
Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set
forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate
principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial
Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without
liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the
Representative shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability,
if any, to the Company or any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 
 10. Termination.
This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of, and payment for, the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading
in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Select Market or trading in securities generally on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or
limited or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchanges; (ii) there shall have occurred any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States the effect of which is
such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representative, impractical to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement
thereto); (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal or New York State authorities or by the authorities of Massachusetts; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities,
declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representative, impractical to proceed with the offering or
delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other
statements of the Company, the Guarantors or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Initial Purchasers or the Company or the Guarantors or any of the indemnified 

  
 21 

 
persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation
of this Agreement. 
 12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the
Representative, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10016, Attention: High Yield Syndicate Desk; Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019,

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and
the indemnified persons referred to in Section 8 hereof and their respective successors, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(k) hereof, no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 

14. Jurisdiction. The Company and each Guarantor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against the Company or any Guarantor
brought by any Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees and agents of any Initial Purchaser, or by any person who controls any Initial Purchaser, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be
instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Company hereby appoints CT Corporation, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein that may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, by any Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and
agents of any Initial Purchaser, or by any person who controls any Initial Purchaser, and expressly accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company and each Guarantor hereby
represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company and each Guarantor agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all
documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company and each Guarantor, as
applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted by any Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of any Initial Purchaser, or by any person who
controls any Initial Purchaser, in any court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware. 

  
 22 

 15. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
(whether written or oral) between the Company and/or the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

16. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. 
 17. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and each Guarantor 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. 

18. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities
pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers and any Affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Initial
Purchasers are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Guarantor and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Initial Purchasers in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as
independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company and each Guarantor agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Initial
Purchasers has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Guarantor on related or other matters). The Company and each Guarantor agrees that it will not claim that the Initial Purchasers have rendered advisory services of any nature or
respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or any Guarantor in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 

19. Currency. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. dollars (the “relevant currency”), including by use of the symbol
“$”, is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of the Company and each Guarantor in respect of any amount due under this Agreement will, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to
a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the relevant currency that the party entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with its normal procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after
any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such party receives such payment. If the amount in the relevant currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due,
the Company will pay such additional amounts, in the relevant currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of the Company or any Guarantor not discharged by such payment will, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, will continue in full force and effect. 

20. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Company or any Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or
otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service 

  
 23 

 
or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Company and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity
in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 21. Waiver of Tax Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, purchasers of the Securities (and each employee, representative or other agent of a purchaser) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of any transaction
contemplated herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the purchasers of the Securities relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which
nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws. 
 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

23. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

24. Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, any statement as to any person acting on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors or

 ANNEX B-1 
  

	 	1.	The Company and each Specified Subsidiary Guarantor has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power and authority to own its
respective properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum. 

  

	 	2.	The Company is qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

  

	 	3.	The Company and each Specified Subsidiary Guarantor has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power, as applicable, to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities and to

	 	4.	The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Specified Subsidiary Guarantor. 

  

	 	5.	The Securities being issued on the date hereof have been duly authorized by the Company and, when executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided for in the Indenture and issued and
delivered to the Initial Purchasers against payment of the purchase price therefor specified in the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. 

  

	 	6.	The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Specified Subsidiary Guarantor and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor,

factor entitled “We may be unable to repurchase the notes or make any other payment on the notes” contained in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum,” do not violate, or constitute a default under, any Reviewed
Agreement, nor will such action result in any violation by the Company or any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor of (i) the certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws or operating agreement, as

  
 B-1-1 

	 	
applicable, of the Company or such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) any U.S. federal or New York or Delaware (under the DGCL) state statute, or (iii) any rule, order or regulation
of any U.S. federal or New York or Delaware (under the DGCL) state court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective properties. 

 

	 	8.	No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any U.S. federal or New York or Delaware (under the DGCL) state court or governmental agency or body is required for the issue and
sale of the Securities or the consummation by the Company and the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture, except as may be expressly contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the
Indenture or the Securities. 

  

	 	9.	The statements set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the captions “Description of Notes” insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of the legal matters,
documents or proceedings referred to therein, accurately summarize in all material respects the matters referred to therein. 

  

	 	10.	Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor is, or will be after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, required to register as an
“investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

  

	 	11.	No registration of the Securities under the Act and no qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act with respect thereto, is required for the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities by the Company to

States federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, accurately summarize in all material respects the matters referred to therein. 

  

 
 We have
participated in conferences with certain officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the Initial Purchasers, counsel for the Initial Purchasers and representatives of the independent certified public accountants of the
Company at which the contents of the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum and related matters were reviewed and discussed and, although we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy,

  
 B-1-2 

 
completeness or fairness of the Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum (except to the extent of our statements in paragraphs 9 and 12 above), and we have made no independent check or
verification thereof, on the basis of the foregoing no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that: 

(i) the Disclosure Package, as of 5:25 p.m. New York time on June 14, 2016 (the “Applicable Time”), contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that we are not called upon
to and do not comment on the financial statements and the notes thereto and financial statement schedules and other financial data derived from such financial statements or schedules included therein or omitted therefrom), or 

(ii) the Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that we are not called upon to and do not
comment on the financial statements and the notes thereto and financial statement schedules and other financial data derived from such financial statements or schedules included therein or omitted therefrom). 

We further advise that, based on the foregoing, to our knowledge, except as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum, there are no pending or threatened actions, suits or proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries that we believe would have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities.
