 “4.375% Senior Notes due 2029.”

 

In addition, the Company may
issue, from time to time subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, additional notes of any series
of the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Initial Notes (such notes, the “Additional Notes”)

rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance,

The terms and provisions contained
in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 and Exhibit A-3, as applicable, hereto shall
constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and
delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent

account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice

REDEMPTION

 

SECTION 3.1.       Optional
Redemption. Except as described in clauses (a) and (b) below, the Notes of an applicable series are not redeemable at the
Company’s option prior to their final Stated Maturity.

 

(a)            Before
the applicable Par Call Date for such series, the Notes of each series may be redeemed at the Company’s option, at any time in whole
or from time to time in part, in principal amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, upon not less than
10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes
to be redeemed that would have become due after the Redemption Date if such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date for such series
but for the redemption (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to, but not including, the Redemption Date) discounted
to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus (A) 25
basis points (in the case of the 2027 Notes and the 2029 Notes) or (B) 50 basis points (in the case of the 2024 Notes), plus, in
each case, interest accrued on the applicable Notes to, but not including, the Redemption Date (provided that interest payments due on
or prior to the Redemption Date will be paid to the record Holders of such Notes on the relevant record date). The Company may instruct
the Trustee in writing to send the notice of redemption in the name of and at the Company’s expense provided the Trustee receives
such written instruction at least five days (or such shorter time as the Trustee may agree) prior to the date such notice of redemption
is to be sent. The Company shall provide the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel in connection with any redemption.

 

(b)            On
or after the applicable Par Call Date for such series, the Notes of each series may be redeemed at the Company’s option, at any
time in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus interest accrued thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date (provided that interest payments
due on or prior to the Redemption Date will be paid to the record Holders of such Notes on the relevant record date).

 

SECTION 3.2.       Sinking
Fund; Mandatory Redemption. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect
to the Notes. Accordingly, Article XII of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

 

SECTION 3.3.       Redemption
Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, notices may be mailed (or to the extent permitted or required by Applicable
Procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, sent electronically) more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice
is issued in connection with a covenant defeasance or legal defeasance with respect to any series of Notes or a satisfaction and discharge
of the Indenture with respect to any series of Notes. Notice of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one
or more conditions precedent. A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact redemption price but only the manner of calculation
thereof.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

COVENANTS

 

Sections 704 and 1006 of the
Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. The following covenants in this Article IV are for the benefit of Holders of
the Notes.

 

SECTION 4.1.       Limitation
on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur, or suffer
or permit to exist, any Lien securing Funded Debt (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including, without
limitation, Capital Stock of Subsidiaries), or income or profits therefrom, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date,
unless contemporaneously with the creation, Incurrence or assumption of such Lien effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness
due under the Indenture and each series of the Notes equally and ratably with (or senior in priority to in the case of Liens with respect
to Funded Debt that is expressly subordinated to the Notes) the Funded Debt secured by such Lien for so long as such Funded Debt is so
secured.

 

Notwithstanding the preceding
paragraph, the Company may, and may permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur, or suffer or
permit to exist, any Lien securing Funded Debt without securing each series of the Notes; provided that the aggregate principal
amount of such Funded Debt secured by such Lien, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other Funded Debt of
the Company and of any Subsidiary of the Company secured by any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), does not at the time such Funded Debt
is created, Incurred or assumed exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at such time.

 

    13

     

    

 

SECTION 4.2.       Change
of Control.

 

(a)            If
a Change of Control occurs and is accompanied by a Ratings Decline of any series of the Notes (together, a “Change of Control
Triggering Event”), unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes of such series pursuant to Section 3.1
of this Supplemental Indenture, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes of such series at a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

 

(b)            Within
30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes of any
series pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company will mail (or to the extent permitted or required
by Applicable Procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, send electronically) a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”)
to each Holder of the Notes of the applicable series, with a copy to the Trustee, stating:

 

(1)            that
a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or will occur and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase
such Holder’s Notes of such series at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on
the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”);

 

(2)            the
repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, or such later date
as is necessary to comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); provided
that the Change of Control Payment Date may not occur prior to the Change of Control Triggering Event; and

 

(3)            the
procedures determined by the Company, consistent with the Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes of such series
repurchased.

 

(c)            On
the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

 

(1)            accept
for payment all Notes of the applicable series or portions of Notes of the applicable series (of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000
in excess thereof) properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(2)            deposit,
to the extent not previously deposited for such purpose, with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect
of all Notes of the applicable series or portions of such Notes so tendered; and

 

(3)            deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes, to the extent not previously delivered for such purpose, so accepted and an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

 

Upon Company Request, the Paying
Agent will promptly mail (or to the extent permitted or required by Applicable Procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes,
send electronically) to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate
and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Paying Agent will deliver the Change of Control Payment for Global Notes in immediately available
funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Note.

 

The Change of Control provisions
described in this Section 4.2 will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable.

 

(d)            The
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change
of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Supplemental Indenture
applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change
of Control Offer.

 

(e)            The
Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities
laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.2. To the extent that the provisions
of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities
laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue of the conflict.

 

    14

     

    

 

 

SECTION 4.3.     Reports.

Company will furnish or file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and the
information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations
prescribe) that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Company

Notes and bona fide prospective purchasers of the Notes designated by the Holders of the Notes, promptly on their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. For purposes of this
covenant, the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports and information to, or filed such reports and information with, the
Trustee and the Holders of Notes and bona fide prospective purchasers as required by this covenant if it has filed such reports
or information with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system or otherwise made such reports or information publicly available on a freely accessible

whether or not such reports and information have been filed or have been posted on such website.

Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any events which would constitute
a Default, unless such Default has been cured or waived before the end of such 30-day period, their status and what action the Company
is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof.

 

(d)            Delivery
of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and receipt of such reports and documents
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise,
the Company’s compliance with the covenants under this Indenture or the Notes or with respect to any reports or other documents
filed with the SEC through the EDGAR system or any website under this Indenture.

SECTION 5.2.    Acceleration

written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series by written
notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal, premium, if any,
and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes of such series to be due and payable. Such notice must specify the Event of
Default and state that such notice is a “Notice of Acceleration.” Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any,

judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all, existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of any series that became due solely because of the acceleration of such Notes, have been cured
or waived.

 

    17

     

    

 

If an Event of Default pursuant
to Section 5.1(a)(6) or (7) occurs and is continuing, the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid
interest on all the Notes of such series will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part
of the Trustee or any Holders.

 

At any time after a declaration
of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for the payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any series by notice to the Trustee and the Company (including, without limitation, waivers
and consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) may waive all past Defaults or Events
of Default with respect to the Notes of such series and may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences; provided
that (i) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing
Events of Default, other than nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series that have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.”

 

SECTION 5.3.     Limitation
on Suits. Solely with respect to the Notes, Section 507 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“Subject to Section 601
of the Base Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes of any series unless:

 

(1)            such
Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

 

(2)            Holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

(3)            such
Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

 

(4)            the
Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

 

(5)            the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series have not given the Trustee a direction that is
inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period.”

 

    18

     

    

 

SECTION 5.4.     Control
by Majority. Solely with respect to the Notes, Section 512 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each series are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. In the event an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a
prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law, the Indenture or the Notes of any series, or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial
to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture,
the Trustee will be entitled to security or indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses
caused by taking or not taking such action.”

 

SECTION 5.5.     Collection
Suit by Trustee. Solely with respect to the Notes, Section 503 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“If an Event of Default
specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 5.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest
on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 607 of the Base Indenture.”

 

SECTION 5.6.     Compensation
and Reimbursement. Section 607(b) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended to add the phrase “with counsel satisfactory
to Trustee” in the following sentence:

 

“The Trustee may elect
to have separate counsel defend the claim, but the Company shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate
counsel only if the Company fails to assume the Trustee’s defense with counsel satisfactory to Trustee or there is a conflict of
interest between the Company, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, with respect to the claim, as reasonably determined
by the Trustee.”

Sections 401, 402, 1301, 1302,
1303, 1304, 1305 and 1306 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Solely with respect to the Notes, any reference in the Base
Indenture to Sections 401, 402, 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, 1305 and 1306 of the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to Sections

respectively, of this Supplemental Indenture; and the reference to Article IV or XIII in the Base Indenture shall be
deemed to refer to Article VI of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

SECTION 6.1.     Satisfaction
and Discharge. This Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) will be discharged and will cease to
be of further effect as to all Notes of any series issued thereunder, when either:

 

    19

     

    

 

(1)            all
such Notes of such series that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or
paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 

(2)            (A) all
such Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation:

 

(i)            have
become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise,

 

(ii)            will
become due and payable within one year, or

 

(iii)            are
to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the
Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

 

and the Company, in the case of (i),
(ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with such Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for
the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes of such series not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption,
as the case may be;

 

(B)            the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Company with respect to Notes of such series under the Indenture;

 

(C)            the
Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes of such series
at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and

 

(D)            the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject
to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes), the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under
Section 607 of the Base Indenture, the obligations of the Trustee or the Company to any authenticating agent under the Indenture
and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.1(2) of this Supplemental Indenture, the
rights and obligations referred to in Section 6.2(a)(1) and (2) below and the obligations of the Trustee
under Section 606 of the Base Indenture, Sections 6.5 and 6.6 of this Supplemental Indenture and Section 603 of
the Base Indenture shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

 

    20

     

    

 

SECTION 6.2.     Legal
Defeasance.

 

(a)            Subject
to Section 6.4 of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations
under the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) discharged with respect to any series
of the outstanding Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture (“legal defeasance”). For this purpose, legal defeasance
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of any
series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Sections 6.5 and 6.6 of
this Supplemental Indenture and the other Sections of the Indenture referred to in (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied
all of its other obligations under such Notes, the Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) (and the Trustee,
on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions
which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

 

(1)            the
rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series when such
payments are due, solely out of the trust referred in Section 6.4 of this Supplemental Indenture;

 

(2)            the
Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes of such series under Article III of the Base Indenture concerning issuing temporary
Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Sections 305 and 1002 of the Base Indenture concerning the
maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for Note payments held in trust;

 

(3)            the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

 

(4)            the
provisions of this Section 6.2.

 

(b)            If
the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes of the applicable series may not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series.

 

(c)            The
Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option as set forth in
Section 6.3 of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

SECTION 6.3.     Covenant
Defeasance.

 

(a)            Subject
to Section 6.4 of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company at any time may discharge its obligations under Sections 4.1,
4.2 and 4.3 of this Supplemental Indenture and Section 1004 of the Base Indenture and the Company may omit to comply
with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly,
by reason of any reference elsewhere in the Indenture to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other
provision in the Indenture or in any other document and such omission to comply with such covenants shall no longer constitute a Default
or an Event of Default under Section 5.1(a)(4) of this Supplemental Indenture (“covenant defeasance”)
with respect to any series of Notes.

 

    21

     

    

 

(b)            If
the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes of the applicable series may not be accelerated because of,
and a Default or Event of Default shall no longer be deemed to exist as a result of or to arise out of, an Event of Default specified
in Sections 5.1(a)(4) (as such clause relates to Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of this Supplemental Indenture
and Section 1004 of the Base Indenture) or Section 5.1(a)(5).

 

SECTION 6.4.     Conditions
to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either legal defeasance or covenant
defeasance with respect to the outstanding Notes of any series:

 

(1)            the
Company shall have irrevocably deposited in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of the applicable series to redemption or maturity,
as the case may be;

 

(2)            the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their
opinion (or if nationally recognized independent accounting firms no longer routinely express such opinions, a certificate from the chief
financial officer of the Company expressing his or her opinion) that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment
on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment shall provide cash at such times and in such
amounts as shall be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Notes of the applicable series to maturity
or redemption, as the case may be;

 

(3)            no
Event of Default with respect to the applicable series of Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other
than Events of Default arising out of the incurrence of Liens on Funded Debt all or a portion of the proceeds of which are to be used
to fund such deposit);

 

(4)            such
legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture (insofar
as it relates to any series of Securities other than the Notes of the applicable series) or any other material agreement or instrument
to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound (other than the Indenture);

 

(5)            in
the case of legal defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions
and exclusions) in the United States stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of the Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the applicable series
of Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and legal defeasance and
shall be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
deposit and legal defeasance had not occurred;

 

    22

     

    

 

(6)            in
the case of covenant defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions
and exclusions) in the United States to the effect that the Holders of the applicable series of Notes shall not recognize income, gain
or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and shall be subject to Federal income tax
on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not
occurred; and

 

(7)            the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, together stating that all conditions
precedent to the covenant defeasance or legal defeasance with respect to the Notes of the applicable series as set forth in this Section 6.4
have been complied with.

 

Upon satisfaction of the conditions
set forth herein and upon Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company
terminates.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions
of Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company’s obligations in Sections 305, 601,
603, 607, 610, 1002 and 1003 of the Base Indenture and Sections 6.5 and 6.6 of this Supplemental Indenture shall survive
until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Section 607 of the Base Indenture and Sections
6.5 and 6.6 of this Supplemental Indenture shall survive.

 

SECTION 6.5.     Deposited
Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph
of Section 1003 of the Base Indenture, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with
the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section 6.5 and Section 6.6, the Trustee
and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 6.1
or Section 6.4(1) in respect of any Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions
of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums
due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money and U.S. Government Obligations so held
in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

The Company shall pay and indemnify
the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 6.1 or Section 6.4(1) or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such
tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of outstanding Notes.

 

Anything in this Article VI
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 6.1 or Section 6.4(1) with respect to any Notes
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the satisfaction and discharge
or legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Notes.

 

    23

     

    

 

SECTION 6.6.     Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VI
by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it
relates to the Notes) and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VI
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
this Article VI; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of
any Notes of any series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
of such Notes of the applicable series to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

 

Article IX of the Base
Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

 

SECTION 7.1.     Without
Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Sections 7.2 and 7.3, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) and the Notes of any
series to:

 

(1)            cure
any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

 

(2)            provide
for the assumption by a successor entity of the obligations of the Company under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it
relates to the Notes) or the Notes in accordance with Article VIII of the Base Indenture;

 

(3)            provide
for or facilitate the issuance of uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated
Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code);

 

(4)            add
Guarantees with respect to the Notes;

 

(5)            secure
the Notes;

 

(6)            add
covenants of the Company or another obligor under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) or the
Notes, as the case may be, or Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to make changes that would provide additional
rights to the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or another such obligor;

 

(7)            make
any change that does not adversely affect the legal or contractual rights of any Holder under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture
(as it relates to the Notes) or the Notes;

 

    24

     

    

 

(8)            evidence
and provide for the acceptance of an appointment under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes)
of a successor trustee; provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms
of the Indenture;

 

(9)            provide
for the issuance of Additional Notes permitted to be issued under this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (as it relates to
the Notes);

 

(10)            comply
with the rules of any applicable securities depositary; or

 

(11)            conform
the text of this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) or the Notes to any provision of the section
of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated September 8, 2021 entitled “Description of the New Cabot Notes” to the
extent that such provision in the “Description of the New Cabot Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision
of the Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) or the Notes.

 

SECTION 7.2.     With
Consent of Holders. Except as set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3, the Company and the Trustee may change, modify, amend
or supplement this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes and any other Securities issued thereunder)
and the Notes and any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange for, such Securities) of (i) the Holders
of not less than a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Securities issued under the Indenture voting as a single class or
(ii) if fewer than all of the series of outstanding debt securities issued under the Indenture are affected by such change, modification,
amendment, supplement or waiver, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series
so affected by such change, modification, amendment, supplement or waiver voting as a single class.

 

The consent of the Holders of
an affected series of Notes is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement
or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or supplement. A consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver under the Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not
be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under the Indenture for which the consent of the Holders
of Notes of an affected series is required becomes effective, the Company is required to mail (or to the extent permitted or required
by Applicable Procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, send electronically) to the Holders of Notes of such series a notice
briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders of Notes of such
series, or any defect in the notice will not impair or affect the validity of any amendment, supplement or waiver.

 

SECTION 7.3.     Limitations.
Notwithstanding Section 7.2, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment, supplement
or waiver may (with respect to any Notes of each such affected series held by a non-consenting Holder):

 

(1)            reduce
the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

 

    25

     

    

 

(2)            reduce
the stated rate of interest or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note;

 

(3)            reduce
the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

 

(4)            waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration
of the Notes of the applicable series by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
of such series with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

 

(5)            reduce
the premium payable upon the redemption or repurchase of any Note of any series or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed or
repurchased as described under Section 4.2 or Article III, whether through an amendment or waiver of Section 4.2,
Article III, related definitions or otherwise (except amendments to the definitions of “Change of Control” or
 “Change of Control Triggering Event”);

 

(6)            make
any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;

 

(7)            impair
the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due
dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or

 

(8)            make
any change in the amendment or waiver provisions which require each Holder’s consent.

 

SECTION 7.4.     Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) or the Notes
of any series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for whether this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture, the Notes, or any amendment
to any of them complies with the Trust Indenture Act or the Company’s compliance with the Trust Indenture Act.

 

SECTION 7.5.     Revocation
and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of Notes of the applicable series
is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of the Notes of such series or portion of such Notes that evidences
the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note or Notes of such series, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note.
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Notes or portion of such Notes of the applicable series
if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.

 

Any amendment or waiver once
effective shall bind every Holder of Notes of the applicable series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described
in any of the clauses of Section 7.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented
to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note of the applicable series or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Note of such series.

 

    26

     

    

 

The Company may, but shall not
be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or take any other
action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture (as it relates
to the Notes). If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of
Notes at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke
any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders of Notes after such record
date.

 

SECTION 7.6.     Notation
on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on the Notes. The Company in exchange
for the Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon Company Request new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver.

 

SECTION 7.7.     Trustee
Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article VII if the
amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the
Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive security and
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Sections 601 and 603 of the Base Indenture) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized
or permitted by this Supplemental Indenture, that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and is permitted pursuant to the Indenture.

 

SECTION 7.8.     Effect
of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article VII, the Indenture (including
this Supplemental Indenture) shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of the Indenture
for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes of the applicable series theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

SECTION 8.1.     Governing

to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other
than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect
to such Notes, or compliance with restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer
of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global

no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture
or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary
participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation
or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine

Global Notes without the Restricted Notes Legend in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amounts of the beneficial interests
in the Global Notes tendered for acceptance by Persons that provide in the applicable letters of transmittal such certifications as are
required by the Registration Rights Agreement and applicable law, and accepted for exchange in the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) Definitive
Notes without the Restricted Notes Legend in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Notes tendered
for acceptance by Persons that provide in the applicable letters of transmittal such certification as are required by the Registration

may be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.2 of this Appendix
A and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or
if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor
depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of such cessation, or
(ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depository. In
addition, any Affiliate of the Company that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note may have such Affiliate’s beneficial
interest transferred to such Affiliate in the form of a Definitive Note by providing a written request to the Company and the Trustee
and such Opinions of Counsel, certificates or other information as may be required by this Indenture or the Company or Trustee.

 

(b)  Any Global Note that is transferable
to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, to be
so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer
of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion
of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations
of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. Any Definitive
Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note shall, except as otherwise provided by
Section 2.2(e) of this Appendix A, bear the Restricted Notes Legend.

 

(c)  The registered Holder of a Global
Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members,
to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

Under the Securities Act.

the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or regulation, the SEC or applicable interpretations of the Staff, the Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) cause to be filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering an offer to the Holders
to exchange all outstanding Registrable Securities for Exchange Notes and (y) cause such Registration Statement to become effective
by the Target Registration Date and, if requested by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, remain effective until 180 days after the
last Exchange Date for use by such Participating Broker-Dealers. The Company shall commence the Exchange Offer for each series of New
Notes promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and use their commercially reasonable
efforts to complete the Exchange Offer for such series not later than 60 days after such effective date.

 

After the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement has become effective, the Company shall commence the Exchange Offer for each series by mailing and/or electronically delivering,
or by causing the mailing and/or electronic delivery of, the related Prospectus, appropriate letters of transmittal (if necessary) and
other accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law, substantially
the following:

 

(i)            that
such Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Securities of such series validly tendered and not
properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange;

 

(ii)           the
dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least 20 Business Days from the date such Prospectus is mailed and/or
electronically delivered) (each, an “Exchange Date”);

 

    5 

     

    

 

(iii)          that
any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not retain any rights under this
Agreement, except as otherwise specified herein;

 

(iv)          that
any Holder electing to have any Registrable Security of a series exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer for such series will be required
to (A) surrender such Registrable Security, together with the appropriate letters of transmittal (if necessary), to the institution
and at the address and in the manner specified in the Prospectus, or (B) effect such exchange otherwise in compliance with the applicable
procedures of the depositary for such Registrable Security, in each case prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date with
respect to such Exchange Offer; and

 

(v)           that
any Holder of Registrable Securities of a series will be entitled to withdraw its election, not later than the close of business on the
last Exchange Date with respect to the Exchange Offer for such series, by (A) sending to the institution and at the address specified
in the Prospectus, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities
delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Registrable Securities exchanged or (B) effecting
such withdrawal in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for the Registrable Securities.

 

As a condition to participating
in an Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required to represent to the Company that (1) any Exchange Notes to be received by it will
be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (2) at the time of the commencement of such Exchange Offer it has no arrangement
or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in
violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (3) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405
under the Securities Act) of the Company, (4) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend
to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Notes and (5) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for
its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then
such Holder will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with
any resale of such Exchange Notes.

 

As soon as practicable after
the last Exchange Date with respect to an Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities of a series, the Company shall:

 

(i)            accept
for exchange Registrable Securities of such series or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to such
Exchange Offer; and

 

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

 

    6 

     

    

 

The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to complete each Exchange Offer as provided above and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply
with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with
each Exchange Offer. No Exchange Offer shall be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable
law, rule, regulation or applicable interpretations of the Staff and that no action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in
any court or by or before any governmental agency relating to the Exchange Offer which, in the Company’s judgment, could reasonably
be expected to impair the Company’s ability to proceed with the Exchange Offer.

 

Interest on each Exchange
Note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on each applicable Registrable Security surrendered in
the Exchange Offer, or if no interest has been paid on the applicable Registrable Security surrendered in the Exchange Offer, from the
last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the applicable Existing Note surrendered in connection with the offer to exchange
New Notes for Existing Notes as set forth in the Offering Memorandum.

 

(b)           If
(i) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not completed on or prior to the Target Registration Date or (ii) following the Target
Registration Date the Company receives a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from (x) any Dealer Manager representing
that it holds Registrable Securities of the applicable series that are or were ineligible to be exchanged in any such Exchange Offer,
or (y) (1) any Holder of Registrable Securities that confirms that any applicable law or interpretations do not permit such
Holder of Registrable Securities to participate in the Exchange Offer, or (2) any Holder of Registrable Securities that participates
in the Exchange Offer who does not receive freely transferable Exchange Notes in exchange for tendered Registrable Securities, or (3) any
Holder of Registrable Securities who validly tendered Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer but which were not exchanged
for the applicable Exchange Notes promptly after being accepted for exchange, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause to be filed and become effective a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities of such
series by the Holders thereof; provided that (1) no Holder will be entitled to have any Registrable Securities included in
any Shelf Registration Statement, or entitled to use the prospectus forming a part of such Shelf Registration Statement, until such Holder
shall have delivered a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire and provided such other information regarding such Holder to the
Company as is contemplated by Section 3(b) hereof and, if necessary, the Shelf Registration Statement has been amended to reflect
such information, and (2) the Company shall be under no obligation to file any such Shelf Registration Statement before they are
obligated to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof.

 

In the event that the Company
is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant
to Section 2(a) hereof with respect to all Registrable Securities and, with respect to any Registrable Securities to which
clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph applies, a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration
Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of such Registrable Securities held by the
Holders after completion of the Exchange Offer.

 

    7 

     

    

 

The Company agrees to use
its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date on which the New Notes
covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company further agrees to
use its commercially reasonable efforts to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, the related Prospectus and any Free Writing
Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf
Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested by a
Participating Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing
Prospectus, as the case may be, to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company agrees to furnish to the Participating
Holders copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC, as reasonably requested by the
Participating Holders.

 

(c)            The
Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof.
Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale
or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

 

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

 

If a Registration Default
occurs with respect to a series of Registrable Securities, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities (and only the Registrable Securities)
of such series will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period beginning on the day immediately following such
Registration Default and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case until and
including the date such Registration Default ends, up to a maximum increase of 1.00% per annum. A Registration Default ends with respect
to any New Notes when such New Notes cease to be Registrable Securities or, if earlier, (1) in the case of a Registration Default
under clause (i) of the definition thereof, when the Exchange Offer for such series is completed or when the Shelf Registration Statement
covering such Registrable Securities becomes effective or (2) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (ii) of the
definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable. If at any time
more than one Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, then, until the next date that there is no Registration Default, the
increase in interest rate provided for by this paragraph shall apply as if there occurred a single Registration Default that begins on
the date that the earliest such Registration Default occurred and ends on the next date that there is no Registration Default.

 

    8 

     

    

 

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if the applicable Exchange Offer with respect to a series of Registrable Securities is consummated,
any Holder who was, at the time such Exchange Offer was pending and consummated, eligible to exchange, and did not validly tender, or
withdrew, its New Notes for Exchange Notes in such Exchange Offer will not be entitled to receive any additional interest pursuant to
the immediately preceding paragraph, and such New Notes will no longer constitute Registrable Securities hereunder.

 

Any amounts of additional
interest due under this Section 2(d) will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates of the New Notes. The additional
interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable additional interest rate by the principal amount of the New Notes, multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such additional interest rate was applicable during such period (determined
on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months, but it being understood that if the regular interest payment date of
the New Notes is not a Business Day and the payment is made on the next succeeding Business Day, no further interest will accrue as a
result of such delay), and the denominator of which is 360.

 

(e)            The
Company shall be entitled to suspend its obligation to file any amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish any supplement or
amendment to a Prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement or any Free Writing Prospectus, make any other filing with the SEC
that would be incorporated by reference into a Shelf Registration Statement, cause a Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective
or the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus usable or take any similar action (collectively, “Suspension Actions”)
if there is a possible acquisition, disposition or business combination or other transaction, business development or event involving
the Company or any of its subsidiaries that may require disclosure in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus and the Company determines
that such disclosure is not in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders or obtaining any financial statements relating to
any such acquisition or business combination required to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus would be impracticable.
Upon the occurrence of any of the conditions described in the foregoing sentence, the Company shall give prompt notice of the delay or
suspension (but not the basis thereof) to the Participating Holders. Upon the termination of such condition, the Company shall promptly
proceed with all Suspension Actions that were delayed or suspended and, if required, shall give prompt notice to the Participating Holders
of the cessation of the delay or suspension (but not the basis thereof).

 

(f)            Without
limiting the remedies available to the Dealer Managers and the Holders, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply
with its obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Dealer
Managers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries
precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Dealer Managers or any Holder may seek to specifically enforce the Company’s
obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

3.            Registration
Procedures.

any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and keep each

to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to the Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes;

 

(iii)              to

with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act and to retain a copy of any Free Writing Prospectus not required to be filed;

 

(iv)              in
the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Participating Holder, to the Dealer Managers (if any Registrable Securities held by

Managers and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many copies of each
Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto (other than any document that amends
and supplements any Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus because it is incorporated by reference therein), as
such Participating Holder, counsel or Underwriter may reasonably request in writing in order to facilitate the sale or other disposition
of the Registrable Securities thereunder; and, subject to Section 3(c) hereof, the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus,
preliminary prospectus or such Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each
of the Participating Holders and any such Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered
by and in the manner described in such Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or such Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto in accordance with applicable law;

 

(v)               register
or qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United
States as any Participating Holder shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable Registration Statement becomes
effective; cooperate with such Participating Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; and do any and
all other acts and things within the Company’s reasonable control that may be reasonably necessary to enable each
Participating Holder to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such Participating
Holder; provided that the Company shall not be required to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a
dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (2) execute or file any
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) subject itself to taxation or service of process in any
such jurisdiction if it is not already so subject;

 

    10 

     

    

 

(vi)             notify
counsel for the Dealer Managers (it being understood that for purposes of this Agreement, such references to such counsel shall mean counsel
on the date of this Agreement unless the Dealer Managers notify the Company in writing otherwise) and, in the case of a Shelf Registration,
notify each Participating Holder and counsel for such Participating Holders (it being understood that for purposes of this Agreement,
references to such counsel shall only be applicable to the extent that the Company has been provided with contact information for such
counsel) promptly and, if requested by any such Participating Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing (1) when a Registration
Statement has become effective, when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective, when any Free Writing
Prospectus has been filed or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, (2) of
the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or
the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, including the receipt by the Company of any notice of objection of the SEC to the
use of a Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities
Act, (3) if, between the applicable effective date of a Shelf Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities
covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement
or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such Registrable Securities cease to be true and correct in all material
respects or if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities
for sale in any U.S. jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (4) of the happening of any event during
the period a Registration Statement is effective that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus
or any Free Writing Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement
or Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading and (5) of any determination
by the Company that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free
Writing Prospectus would be appropriate;

 

(vii)            notify
counsel for the Dealer Managers or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Participating Holder and counsel for such Participating
Holders, of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement, Prospectus
or any Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement has become effective;

 

(viii)           obtain
the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the resolution
of any objection of the SEC pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, including by filing an amendment to such Registration
Statement on the proper form, as soon as reasonably practicable and provide prompt notice to each Holder or Participating Holder of the
withdrawal of any such order or such resolution;

 

    11

the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Participating Holder, without charge, upon request, at least one conformed copy of
each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without any documents incorporated therein by reference or
exhibits thereto, unless requested), if such documents are not available via EDGAR;

 

(x)               in
the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the Participating Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable Securities to be issued
in such denominations and, in the case of certificated securities, registered in such names (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture)
as such Participating Holders may reasonably request at least one Business Day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;

 

(xi)              upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(a)(vi)(4) hereof, prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective
amendment to the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any Free
Writing Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered
(or, to the extent permitted by law, made available) to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus,
as the case may be, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company shall notify the Participating
Holders (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) and the Dealer Managers and any Participating Broker-Dealers known to the Company
(in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to suspend use of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus as promptly
as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and such Participating Holders, such Participating Broker-Dealers and the Dealer
Managers, as applicable, hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, until the Company
has amended or supplemented the Prospectus or the Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to correct such misstatement or omission;
provided that the Company shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 3(a)(xi) during any suspension
period pursuant to Sections 2(e) or 3(d).

reasonable time prior to the filing of any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus, any amendment to a Registration
Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Dealer Managers
and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, to the Participating Holders and their counsel) and make such
of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Dealer Managers or their counsel (and, in the case of a
Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) available for discussion of such document at reasonable times
and upon reasonable notice; and the Company shall not, at any time after initial filing of a Registration Statement, use or file any
Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus, any amendment of or supplement to a Registration Statement or a Prospectus or a Free Writing
Prospectus, of which the Dealer Managers and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders
and their counsel) shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy or to which the Dealer Managers or their counsel (and,
in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably object in writing within
two Business Days after the receipt thereof, unless the Company believes that use or filing of such Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus,
or any amendment of or supplement thereto is required by applicable law;

 

    12 

     

    

 

(xiii)            obtain
a CUSIP number for all Exchange Notes of each series or Registrable Securities of each series that are registered on a Shelf Registration
Statement, as the case may be, not later than the initial effective date of a Registration Statement;

 

(xiv)            cause
the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the registration of the Exchange Notes or Registrable Securities,
as the case may be; cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture
to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and execute, cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as
may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture to
be so qualified in a timely manner;

 

(xv)             in
the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection by a representative of the Participating Holders (an “Inspector”),
any Underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, one firm of attorneys and one firm of
accountants designated by a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by the Participating Holders and
one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants designated by such Underwriters, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all
pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries reasonably requested by any such Inspector,
Underwriter, attorney or accountant, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement and
customary due diligence related to the offering and sale of Registrable Securities thereunder, subject to such parties conducting such
investigation entering into confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably require and to any applicable privilege;

 

(xvi)            [Reserved];

 

(xvii)            if
reasonably requested by any Participating Holder, promptly include or incorporate by reference in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information with respect to such Participating Holder as such Participating Holder reasonably requests to be included
therein and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Company has received notification of the matters to be so included in such filing; and

 

    13 

     

    

 

(xviii)            in
the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including
those requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement)
in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering
and in such connection, (1) provided that the Participating Holders’ representations and warranties are of the substance
and scope as are customarily made by selling security holders to underwriters in underwritten offerings, to the extent possible, make
such representations and warranties to the Participating Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect to the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus and documents incorporated
by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers
to underwriters in underwritten offerings and consistent with the applicable representations and warranties in the Dealer Manager Agreement
and confirm the same if and when requested pursuant to the applicable underwriting agreement, (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the
Company (which opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Participating Holders and such Underwriters
and their respective counsel) addressed to the Underwriter of Registrable Securities, in customary form and subject to customary limitations,
assumptions and exclusions and covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings, provided that,
if required by the Underwriter, counsel for the Participating Holders shall provide an opinion to the Underwriter covering the matters
customarily covered in opinions requested from selling security holders by underwriters in underwritten offerings, in connection with
an Underwritten Offering (3) in connection with an Underwritten Offering, obtain “comfort” letters from the independent
registered public accountants and independent reserve engineers of the Company (and, if necessary, any other registered public accountant
or reserve engineer of any subsidiary of the Company, or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial
data or reserve information and production data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to the Underwriter
of Registrable Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort”
letters in connection with underwritten offerings, including but not limited to financial information, reserve information and production
data contained in any preliminary prospectus, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus and (4) in connection with an Underwritten Offering,
deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in underwritten
offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence
compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement.

 

(b)            In
the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require, as a condition to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities
in such Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company a Notice and Questionnaire and
such other information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities and other documentation
necessary to effectuate the proposed disposition as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and require such
Holder to agree in writing to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities
as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed
so that the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder is not materially misleading and does not omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made.

 

    14 

     

    

 

(c)             Each
Participating Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(vi)(2) or
Section 3(a)(vi)(4) hereof, such Participating Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Participating Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
and any Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(xi) hereof and, if so directed by the Company, such Participating
Holder will deliver to the Company all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s
possession, of the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt
of such notice.

 

(d)            If
the Company shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company
shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the period of suspension, and the Company shall extend the period during
which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from
and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have
received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions or notice
that such amendment or supplement is not necessary, provided that no such extension shall be made in the case where such suspension
is solely a result of the Company’s compliance with Section 3(d) or any other suspension at the request of a Holder. Any
such suspensions shall not exceed (i) two occasions of 30 consecutive days for each suspension or (ii) 90 days at any time in
any 12-month period.

 

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

 

(f)             No
Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such
Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder
to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements
and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

    15 

     

    

 

4.              Participation
of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer.

 

(a)             The
Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in an Exchange Offer in exchange
for New Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating
Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.

 

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

 

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

 

(c)             The
Dealer Managers shall have no liability to the Company or any Holder with respect to any request that they may make pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof.

 

5.              Indemnification
and Contribution.

 

(a)             The
Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Dealer Manager and each Holder, their respective directors, officers and employees, each
Person, if any, who controls any Dealer Manager or any Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Dealer Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (any of the
foregoing, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as
such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information”
(“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each such Indemnified Person
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, damage, liability, action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to
any Dealer Manager or information relating to any Holder furnished to the Company in writing through J.P. Morgan, BofA Securities or
any selling Holder, respectively, expressly for use therein.

 

    16 

     

    

 

(b)            Each
Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Managers and the other selling Holders,
the directors of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls
the Company, any Dealer Manager and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Dealer Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and such Dealer
Manager’s respective directors, officers and employees, to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above,
but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished
to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus.

 

(c)             If
any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Indemnified
Person shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”)
in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under
paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive
rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from
any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding
shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying
Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees
and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such
proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed
to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties
by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that
the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees
and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Dealer Manager, its affiliates, directors
and officers and any control Persons of such Dealer Manager shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan and BofA Securities, (y) for
any Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders
and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff,
the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement
or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending
or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on
behalf of any Indemnified Person.

 

    17 

     

    

 

(d)            If
the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu
of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company from the offering of the New Notes and the Exchange Notes, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving New Notes
or Exchange Notes registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or by the Holders and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(e)             The
Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified
Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a
Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the New Notes or Exchange Notes
sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several and not joint.

 

    18 

     

    

 

(f)             The
remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available
to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

 

(g)            The
indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Managers or any Holder or
any Person controlling any Dealer Manager or any Holder or any affiliate of any Dealer Manager, or by or on behalf of the Company or the
officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Notes and (iv) any sale
of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

 

6.              General.

 

(a)             No
Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that it has not entered into, or on or after the date of this
Agreement will enter into, any agreement that conflicts with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.

 

(b)            Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent
of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure
from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in
writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall
be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consent thereafter shall be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent

waiver or consent appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder. Each Holder may waive compliance with respect
to any obligation of the Company under this Agreement as it may apply or be enforced by such particular Holder.

and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the
parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing
herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of
the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise,

(f)             Third
Party Beneficiaries. The Trustee and each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary of the agreements made hereunder between the Company,

(g)            Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures
thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of
the parties and delivered (by telecopy, electronic delivery or otherwise) to the other parties. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted
by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic
means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document (including any electronic signature covered by
the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable

(j)             Entire
Agreement; Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the remainder of
the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated. The Company and the Dealer Managers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or
unenforceable provisions.
