 2. Registration Under the Securities Act. 

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Company agrees to file under the Securities Act, no later than 180 days
after the Closing Date, a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange (such registration statement, the “Exchange Registration Statement”, and such offer, the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of the
Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities issued by the Company, which debt securities are substantially identical to the Securities (and are entitled to the benefits of a trust indenture which is substantially identical to
the Indenture or is the Indenture and which has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and do not contain provisions for Special
Interest contemplated in Section 2(c) below (such new debt securities hereinafter called “Exchange Securities”). The Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain as promptly as practicable all
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (including the financial statements of any acquired entities and related pro forma financial statements) required to be included in such filing, and (ii) cause the Exchange Registration
Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than 210 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply
with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. Unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, the Company further agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to
(i) commence and complete the Exchange Offer promptly (but no later than 60 days) following the Effective Time of such Exchange Registration Statement, (ii) hold the Exchange Offer open for at least 30 days in accordance with Regulation
14E promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law) and (iii) exchange Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn
promptly following the expiration of the Exchange Offer. The 

  
 4 

 
Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been “completed” only (i) if the debt securities received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable
Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act. The Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon the Company’s having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange
Securities for all Registrable Securities (other than Exchange Securities held by Restricted Holders) that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the Exchange Offer. The Company agrees (x) to include in the
Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer or is otherwise subject to prospectus delivery requirements and (y) to use
commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the “Resale Period”) beginning when Exchange Securities are first issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the
expiration of the 90th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange Registration
Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Subsections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof. 

(b) If (i) on or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is completed, existing law or Commission interpretations are changed
such that the debt securities received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act,
(ii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 270 days of the Closing Date or (iii) any holder of Registrable Securities notifies the Company prior to the 20th Business Day
following the completion of the Exchange Offer that: (A) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) it may not resell the Exchange Securities to the public without delivering a prospectus and
the prospectus supplement contained in the Exchange Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Securities acquired directly from the Company or an affiliate of the Company, then
the Company shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 2(a), use commercially reasonably efforts to file under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no
later than 60 days after the date of such notice (and no earlier than the time at which the Company is obligated to file an Exchange Registration Statement), a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale
on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the “Shelf Registration” and such registration
statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective as promptly as practicable, but in any event no
later than 180 days after the date of the notice of such Shelf Registration Statement filing obligation (but no earlier than 210 days after the Closing Date); provided that if at any time the Company is or becomes a “well-known seasoned
issuer” (as defined in Rule 405) and is eligible to file an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405), then the Company shall file the Shelf Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration
statement as provided in Rule 405. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of the second anniversary of the Effective Time or such
time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided, however, that the Company not be obligated to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective for a period of more than 180 days from the date the Shelf
Registration Statement is declared effective if the Shelf Registration 

  
 5 

 
Statement is required to be filed solely to permit resale by a participating broker-dealer that holds the initial notes or Exchange Securities acquired directly from the company or one of its
affiliates. No holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder is an Electing Holder. The
Company agrees after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement and promptly upon the written request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, to use commercially reasonable efforts to enable such
holder to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement (whether by
post-effective amendment thereto or by filing a prospectus pursuant to Rules 430B and 424(b) under the Securities Act identifying such holder), provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall relieve any such holder of the
obligation to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii) hereof; provided, further, that each holder shall promptly furnish additional information required to be
disclosed in order to make any information previously furnished to the Company by such holder not misleading. The Company further agrees to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, as and when 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 rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration, and the Company agrees to furnish to each
Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to its being used or promptly following its filing with the Commission. 

(c) In the event that (i) the Company has not filed the Exchange Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration
Statement on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), respectively, or (ii) such Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement has not
become effective or been declared effective by the Commission on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to become or be declared effective pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), respectively, or
(iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 60 days after the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration Statement relating to the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange Offer is then required to be made), or (iv) any Exchange
Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Company or shall become subject to an effective stop
order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement (except as specifically permitted herein) without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed
and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default” and each period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, a “Registration Default
Period”), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), special interest (“Special Interest”), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue on all Registrable
Securities then outstanding at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period and at a per annum rate of 0.50% for the balance of the Registration Default Period. 

(d) The Company shall take all actions necessary or advisable to be taken by it or them to ensure that the transactions
contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated. 

  
 6 

 (e) Any reference herein to a registration statement or prospectus as of any time
shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time; and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement or to any prospectus supplement as of any
time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time. 
 3.

 If the Company files a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b),
the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) At or before the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration or any Shelf
Registration, whichever may occur first, the Company shall qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
 (c) In connection with the
Company’s obligations with respect to the registration of Exchange Securities as contemplated by Section 2(a) (the “Exchange Registration”), if applicable, the Company shall: 

(i) prepare and file with the Commission, within the time periods specified in Section 2(a), an Exchange Registration
Statement on any form which may be utilized by the Company and which shall permit the Exchange Offer and resales of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers during the Resale Period to be effected as contemplated by Section 2(a), and use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange Registration Statement to become effective within the time periods specified in Section 2(a); 

(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Exchange Registration Statement and the

then amended or supplemented), in conformity in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, as such broker-dealer reasonably may request
prior to the expiration of the Resale Period, for use in connection with resales of Exchange Securities;

Resale Period when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, such Exchange Registration Statement, prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment does not
conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities in such Electing Holder’s possession at the time of receipt of such notice;

accountants of the Company to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary (and in the case of counsel, not violate an attorney-client privilege, in such counsel’s reasonable belief), in the judgment of the respective counsel
referred to in Section 3(d)(vi), to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering on behalf of the

 10 

 
pursuant to a subpoena or order of any court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the matter (subject to the requirements of such order, and only after such person shall
have given the Company prompt prior written notice of such requirement), or (C) such information is required to be set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or in an amendment to such Shelf Registration
Statement or an amendment or supplement to such prospectus in order that such Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, complies with applicable requirements of the federal securities laws and the rules
and regulations of the Commission and does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the

therein) and such number of copies of such Shelf Registration Statement (excluding exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein unless specifically so requested by such Electing Holder) and of the prospectus included in such
Shelf Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act to the extent such documents
are not available through the Commission’s EDGAR System, and such other documents, as such Electing Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the offering and disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Electing Holder
and to permit such Electing Holder to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; and subject to Section 3(e), the Company hereby consents to the use of such prospectus (including such preliminary and summary prospectus)
and any amendment or supplement thereto by each such Electing Holder, in each case in the form most recently provided to such person by the Company, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus
(including such preliminary and summary prospectus) or any supplement or amendment thereto; 
 (xii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to (A) register or qualify the Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement under such United States state securities laws or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Electing Holder shall
reasonably request, (B) keep such registrations or qualifications in effect and comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of offers, sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions during the period the Shelf Registration Statement
is required to remain effective under Section 2(b), (C) take any and all other actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such Electing Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable
Securities and (D) obtain the consent or approval of each governmental agency or authority, whether federal, state or local, which may be required to effect the Shelf Registration or the offering or sale in connection therewith or to enable the
selling holder or holders to offer, or to consummate the disposition of, their Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required for any such purpose to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation in any
jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for the requirements of this Section 3(d)(xii), (2) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or become subject to taxation in any such
jurisdiction or (3) make any changes to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other governing documents or any agreement between it and its stockholders; 

(xiii) unless any Registrable Securities shall be in book-entry only form, cooperate with the Electing Holders to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of 

  
 12 

 
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates, if so required by any securities exchange upon which any Registrable Securities are listed, shall be printed,
penned, lithographed or engraved, or otherwise produced by any combination of such methods, on steel engraved borders, and which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends; 

(xiv) obtain a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, not later than
the applicable Effective Time; 
 (xv) notify in writing each holder of Registrable Securities of any proposal by the Company
to amend or waive any provision of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9(h) hereof and of any amendment or waiver effected pursuant thereto, each of which notices shall contain the text of the amendment or waiver proposed or effected, as the
case may be; and 
 (xvi) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to
its securityholders no later than eighteen months after the Effective Time of such Shelf Registration Statement, an “earning statement” of the Company and its subsidiaries complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including,
at the option of the Company, Rule 158 thereunder). 
 (e) In the event that the Company would be required, pursuant to
Section 3(d)(viii)(G) hereof, to notify the Electing Holders, the Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to each of the Electing Holders a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered
to purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and shall not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Each Electing Holder agrees that
upon receipt of any notice from the Company pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(G) hereof, such Electing Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such
Registrable Securities until such Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by the Company, such Electing Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies,
other than permanent file copies, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities in such Electing Holder’s possession at the time of receipt of such notice. 

(f) In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information required to be provided by each Electing Holder in its
Notice and Questionnaire, the Company may require such Electing Holder to furnish to the Company such additional information regarding such Electing Holder and such Electing Holder’s intended method of distribution of Registrable Securities as
may be required in order to comply with the Securities Act. Each such Electing Holder agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by such Electing Holder to the Company or
of the occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder’s
intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities

  
 13 

 
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to the Company any additional
information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or the disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, provided that the expenses incurred by the Company solely as a
result of an Electing Holder inaccuracy, change in information or omission will be paid by such Electing Holder. 
 (g) Until
the expiration of one year after the Closing Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) to, resell any of the Securities that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to
an effective registration statement, or a valid exemption from the registration requirements, under the Securities Act. 

(h) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish, upon the
request of the Company, a written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal or “agent’s message” transmitted via The Depository Trust Company’s Automated Tender Offer Procedures, in either
case contemplated by the Exchange Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an “affiliate” of the Company, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if it is such an “affiliate”, it will comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (B) it is not engaged in and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a
distribution of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business, (D) if it is a broker-dealer that holds Securities that were acquired for its own
account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Securities acquired directly from the Company or any of its affiliates), it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by it in the Exchange Offer, (E) if it is a broker-dealer, that it did not purchase the Securities to be exchanged in the Exchange Offer from the Company or any of its affiliates,
and (F) it is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully and completely make the representations contained in the foregoing subclauses (A) through (E). 

4. Registration Expenses. 

The Company agrees to bear and to pay or cause to be paid promptly all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance
with this Agreement, including (a) all Commission and any FINRA registration, filing and review fees and expenses, (b) all fees and expenses in connection with the qualification of the Registrable Securities and the Exchange Securities, as

the preparation of documents referred in clause (c) above, (e) fees and expenses of the Trustee under the Indenture, any agent of the Trustee and any counsel for the Trustee and of any collateral agent or custodian, (f) internal

Company and its subsidiaries, including any acquired or predecessor entities (including the expenses of any opinions or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance), (h) reasonable fees,

Electing Holders (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), (i) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities, as applicable, and (j) fees, expenses
and disbursements of any other persons, including special experts, retained by the Company in connection with such registration (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the
Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all agency fees and commissions and underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of such Registrable Securities and Exchange Securities, as
applicable, and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained by such holders (severally or jointly), other than the counsel specifically referred to above. 

5. Representations and Warranties. 

The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Purchaser and each of the holders from time to time of Registrable Securities
that: 
 (a) Each registration statement covering Registrable Securities, Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable,
and each prospectus (including any preliminary or summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) hereof and any further amendments or supplements to any such registration statement or
prospectus, when it becomes effective or is filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and at all times subsequent to the Effective Time when
a prospectus would be required to be delivered under the Securities Act, other than from (i) such time as a notice has been given to holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)(G) or Section 3(d)(vii)(G) hereof until
(ii) such time as the Company furnishes an amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to Section 3(c)(iv) or Section 3(e) hereof, each such registration statement, and each prospectus (including any summary prospectus) contained
therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) hereof, as then amended or supplemented, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by a holder of
Registrable Securities expressly for use therein. 

  
 15 

 (b) Any documents incorporated by reference in any prospectus referred to in
Section 5(a) hereof, when they become or became effective or are or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform or conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as
applicable, and none of such documents will contain or contained an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by a holder of Registrable Securities
expressly for use therein. 
 (c) The compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or
other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject,
(ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, as amended, or the by-laws or other governing documents, as applicable, of the Company or (iii) result in any
violation of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties; and no consent, approval, authorization,
order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (w) such conflicts, violations, consents,
approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a
material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business, results of operations, properties or prospects, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company and its
subsidiaries, considered one entity, (x) the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities and the Exchange Securities, as applicable, and qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, (y) such
consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the offering and distribution of the Registrable Securities and the Exchange Securities, as

(d) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. 

6. Indemnification and Contribution. 

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each of the holders of Registrable
Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement, and each of the Electing Holders as holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which such holder may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or any Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities were 

  
 16 

 
registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433)
contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such holder, any such Electing Holder, or 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 not misleading, and will reimburse each such holder, and each such Electing Holder, as the case may be, for any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing
prospectus” as defined in Rule 433), or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such person expressly for use therein. 

(b) Indemnification by the Electing Holders. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable
Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each Electing Holder of such Registrable Securities included in such
Shelf Registration Statement, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all other Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Registration Statement, against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities to which the Company or such other Electing Holders of Registrable Securities may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing
prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) contained therein or furnished by the Company to any Electing Holder, or 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 not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Electing Holder shall be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in
excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration. 

(c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above
of written notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify
such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification
provisions of or contemplated by 

  
 17 

 
Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary or (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party
from all liability arising out of such action or claim 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. The indemnifying party shall not be
required to indemnify the indemnified party for any amount paid or payable by the indemnified party in the settlement or compromise of, or entry into any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder, without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or
Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) 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 which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to
include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such 

  
 18 

 
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Electing Holder shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount
of any damages which 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 in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal
amount of Registrable Securities registered by them and not joint. 
 (e) The obligations of the Company under this
Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and partner of each holder, each Electing Holder, and each person, if any, who
controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the holders and the Electing Holders contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective holder or Electing
Holder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in any registration statement as about to become a director of the
Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, as well as to each officer and director of the other holders and to each person, if any, who controls such other holders within the meaning of
the Securities Act. 
 7. Underwritten Offerings. 

Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with the Company and each other such holder that the Company shall have no obligation to
provide for or arrange any underwritten offering hereunder, and no holder of Registrable Securities shall have any right to require or participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless (a) the Company gives its prior written consent to
such underwritten offering (which consent may be granted or withheld by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion), (b) the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering; provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably acceptable to the Company, (c) each holder of
Registrable Securities participating in such underwritten offering agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled selecting the managing underwriter or
underwriters hereunder and (d) each holder of Registrable Securities participating in such underwritten offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Company hereby agrees with each holder of Registrable Securities that, to the extent it consents to an underwritten offering hereunder, it will negotiate in good faith and execute all
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using all commercially reasonable efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort”
letters. 

  
 19 

 8. Rule 144. 

(a) Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. The Company covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to
the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use commercially reasonably efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and shall take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144, as such Rule may be amended from
time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall
deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
 (b) Availability of
Rule 144 Not Excuse for Obligations under Section 2. The fact that holders of Registrable Securities may become eligible to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 shall not (1) cause such Securities to cease to be
Registrable Securities by any means other than pursuant to the definition of Registrable Securities or (2) excuse the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations in
respect of an Exchange Offer, Shelf Registration and Special Interest. 
 9. Miscellaneous. 

(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that it has not granted, and
shall not grant, registration rights with respect to Registrable Securities, Exchange Securities or Securities, as applicable, or any other securities which would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Agreement. 

(b) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Company
fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such holders, in
addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in
any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction. Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement 

(c) Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and

(d) Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the
benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto, and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing parties hereto. In the event that any transferee of any holder of
Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof
for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively
deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the Company shall so request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities
subject to all of the applicable terms hereof. 
 (e) Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements,
representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any
holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of such holder, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the
transfer and registration of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of an Exchange Offer. 
 (f)
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

(g) Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

(h) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other writings referred to herein (including the Indenture, the
Purchase Agreement and the form of Securities) or delivered pursuant hereto which form a part hereof contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) only by a written instrument duly executed by the Company and the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities at the time outstanding. Each holder of any Registrable Securities at the
time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver effected pursuant to this Section 9(h), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment or waiver appears on such Registrable Securities or is
delivered to such holder. 
 (i) Inspection. For so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, this Agreement and a
complete list of the names and addresses of all the record holders of Registrable Securities shall be made available for inspection and copying on any Business Day by any holder of

Agreement) at the offices of the Company at the address thereof set forth in Section 9(c) above and at the office of the Trustee under the Indenture. 

(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an

	 	(b)	Set forth below is Interpretation A.65 of the Commission’s July 1997 Manual of Publicly Available Interpretations regarding short selling: 

“An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the
selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration
statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective
date.” 

  
 A-7 

 By returning this Notice and Questionnaire, the undersigned Selling Securityholder will be deemed to be aware of
the foregoing interpretation. 

*            *           
 *            *            * 

By signing below, the Selling Securityholder acknowledges that it understands its obligation to comply, and agrees that it will comply, with the provisions of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, particularly Regulation M (or any successor rule or regulation). 
 The Selling Securityholder
hereby acknowledges its obligations under the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and certain other persons as set forth in the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. 

In the event that the Selling Securityholder transfers all or any portion of the Registrable Securities listed in Item (3) above after the date on which
such information is provided to the Company, the Selling Securityholder agrees to notify the transferee(s) at the time of the transfer of its rights and obligations under this Notice and Questionnaire and the Exchange and Registration Rights
Agreement. 
 By signing below, the Selling Securityholder consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein in its answers to Items (1)
through (9) above and the inclusion of such information in the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus. The Selling Securityholder understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the
preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus. 
 In accordance with the Selling Securityholder’s obligation under
Section 3(d) of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement to provide such information as may be required by law for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Selling Securityholder agrees to promptly notify the Company of any
inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein which may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Shelf Registration Statement remains in effect and to provide such additional information that the Company may reasonably
request regarding such Selling Securityholder and the intended method of distribution of Registrable Securities in order to comply with the Securities Act. Except as otherwise provided in the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, all notices

 Pricing Policies: 

Hardware and Software: If, in connection with this Agreement, GlobalLogic is required to provide Client with a dedicated team of consultants, then,
unless otherwise set forth in a Statement of Work, GlobalLogic will provide Client at no additional cost with standard hardware and software, including Internet connectivity to its off-shore team, in accordance with GlobalLogic’s then-current
standard operating procedures as reflected in Exhibit F of this Agreement or in an applicable Statement of Work. Non-standard and project-specific materials including software and hardware not listed in Exhibit F or the applicable Statement of
Work will be invoiced to the Client. Prior authorization from Client will be obtained by GlobalLogic before incurring any such expense.
 Expenses:
Travel expenses will include Client pre-approved travel and Client pre-approved Per Diem Rates for other living expenses as set forth a Statement of Work and Exhibit H, as applicable. Where a per diem is specified for expenses, per diem
will be calculated based on number of days the employee travels to and from the location where Services are performed. The foregoing shall not apply to Services performed at GlobalLogic’s facilities. 

Pricing Policies: Each Agreement will set forth one or more of the following rates applicable to Services performed by GlobalLogic there under: 

Monthly Rate: If the Agreement or applicable Statement of Work refers to a monthly rate and the employee is allocated to the Client on a
full-time basis, invoices will not be adjusted for Paid Time Off (PTO). Hours will be tracked and reported but will not apply to the invoice value unless an individual is assigned to the project for a partial month. For work during a partial
month, the monthly rate will be prorated by multiplying the monthly rate by the number of days actually worked divided by twenty standard work days (Monthly Rate * Days Worked / 20). 

Daily Rate: If a resource is assigned to a full-time project, a standard “Person Day” is any time worked over 4 hours at
any location and will be invoiced as a full day. For example, some employees may be required to work flexible schedules whereby they work 15 hours one day and 5 hours the next to accommodate deadlines for the benefit of Client. Under this
policy, Client will be invoiced for 2 days. Should the employee work 3 hours one day, that day will not be invoiced. Any time worked on a weekend or holiday will be billed as a normal working day. For purposes of calculation the Daily
Rate, GlobalLogic shall presume its employee(s) shall work for forty (40) hours per week. Hourly Rate (Part-Time Resources Only): If the Agreement anticipates a part-time resource, the Statement of Work should specify an Hourly Rate to
be applied to all hours worked.
 Other Policies 

Compensatory Time Off: GlobalLogic encourages its employees to work flexible hours to manage their work flow. If a GlobalLogic employee assigned to
Client requires flexible hours that may interfere with the performance of the Services, GlobalLogic shall notify Client and both parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Services are delivered timely. 

Travel Time: If so required to perform the Services, Employees will be encouraged to travel on the weekends. If travel on weekends is
possible, the Client will not be billed for travel time. If the employee is required to travel during week days, the Client will be billed accordingly. 

Training Client shall bear the expense of the training provided to GlobalLogic employee(s) to provide the Services, which shall be billed to Client
after prior mutual discussion and agreement before training is imparted to GlobalLogic employee(s).
