WHEREAS, BBCN and Executive have mutually agreed that Executive’s employment and service as an executive officer of and a director of BBCN will terminate in accordance with this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, BBCN and Executive desire to enter into this Agreement to memorialize the terms of, and each party’s rights and obligations in connection with, the termination of Executive’s employment and service as a director.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, including the execution of the Release Agreement (as hereinafter defined) by Executive, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

 

1) Termination of Service.  Executive’s employment with BBCN, and any and all of Executive’s other positions and offices (including service as a director) with BBCN, will terminate effective as of the close of business on January 31, 2013 without the need for any further action by Executive (the “Termination Date”).

 

2) Duties and Authority.  During the period from the Effective Date through the Termination Date, except as otherwise directed by BBCN’s Board of Directors, Executive will continue to perform his Chief Executive Officer duties on an active full-time basis and will provide advice and assistance to aid in transition to his successor, as reasonably requested by BBCN’s Board of Directors.  After the Termination Date, Executive shall have no authority to act on behalf of BBCN, or to bind BBCN to any undertaking or agreement.

 

3) Accrued Obligations; Reimbursements. Within five (5) business days after the Termination Date, BBCN shall pay to Executive any earned but unpaid annual base salary and any accrued but unused vacation pay, and, in accordance with the applicable expense reimbursement policy, as soon as practicable following submission of all applicable documentation, any expense reimbursement payments owed to Executive for expenses incurred prior to the Termination Date.

 

4) Payments and Benefits.  In addition to the accrued and other amounts described in Section 3 of this Agreement, provided Executive executes the Release and Waiver of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release Agreement”) on January 31, 2013, and does not revoke the Release Agreement within the seven (7) day revocation period following execution thereof, BBCN  shall pay or provide to Executive the following (in each case, subject to withholding of applicable taxes):

 

  

  

  

 

a) a lump sum cash payment equal to Six Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($675,000) payable after the Termination Date promptly after the Release Agreement has been executed and the seven-day revocation period has expired;

 

b) a lump sum cash bonus in the amount of $119,500 in respect of 2012 under BBCN’s annual cash bonus incentive plan (its “Performance Incentive Plan” or “PIP”), payable at the same time 2012 PIP bonuses are paid to other PIP participants; and

 

c) a $40,000 credit relating to 2012 will be made to Executive’s deferral account under the Long Term Incentive Agreement by and between Nara Bank and Executive, dated June 27, 2008, (the “Incentive Agreement”) with such credit and any distributions to be made in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Agreement.  In connection with any merger of BBCN in which it is not the surviving entity, or in any sale of all or substantially all its assets or any similar transaction, BBCN will take appropriate steps to have the Incentive Agreement assumed by the acquiring party.

 

5) Stock Options.   Executive’s vested stock options that are outstanding as of the Termination Date will remain exercisable through the last day of the term of the respective option, as set forth in the applicable stock option agreements, notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment and any terms in the stock option agreements to the contrary.

 

6) No Other Benefits. Except for (w) the amounts and benefits described in Sections 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement, (x) Executive’s rights with respect to any accrued and vested benefits under any qualified 401(k) savings plan and any right to continuation of group health coverage at Executive’s expense in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), (y) Executive’s rights to deferred payments under the Incentive Agreement and the Long Term Incentive Plan pursuant to which the Incentive Agreement was executed and (z) Executive’s claims for indemnification and advancement of expenses as a director, officer or employee of BBCN under the Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of BBCN and any indemnification agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to any other payments or benefits from BBCN in respect of his employment or termination thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, all of Executive’s unvested outstanding performance unit awards granted under the Nara Bancorp, Inc. 2001/Nara Bank 2000 Continuation Long Term Incentive Plan or the Nara Bancorp, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (renamed as the BBCN Bancorp, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan) and any other unvested outstanding equity awards shall be forfeited as of the Termination Date.

 

7) Nonsolicitation of Employees.  For a period of eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date, without the written consent of BBCN’s Board of Directors or a person authorized thereby (which consent may be withheld in the absolute discretion of BBCN), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, induce, or encourage any person who is an employee of BBCN during such eighteen-month period to terminate his or her employment with BBCN or to become an employee of any organization with which Executive may become affiliated, or cause or influence any organization with which Executive may become affiliated to do the same; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7 shall prohibit Executive or any organization with which Executive may become affiliated from (x) soliciting any person whose employment or engagement for services was terminated by BBCN at least three months prior to the date of such solicitation provided such termination was not encouraged or assisted by Executive or any organization with which Executive may become affiliated, or (y) engaging in any general solicitation not targeted at any employee of BBCN, including any non-directed executive searches or placing general advertisements for employees in newspapers or other media of general circulation.

8) Enforcement.  The parties agree and acknowledge that the obligations of the parties pursuant to Sections 7 and 10 of this Agreement are of a unique and special nature and that a party will not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of a failure by the obligated party to abide by his or its obligations under such Sections, nor will money damages adequately compensate for the injury caused by breach of such obligations.  Therefore, it is agreed and hereby acknowledged by the parties that, in the event of a breach by a party of any of such obligations, BBCN and/or the Bank, on the one hand, or Executive, on the other hand, as applicable, shall have the right, among other rights, to damages sustained thereby and to obtain an injunction or decree of specific performance from any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain or compel the other party to perform as agreed in Section 7 or 10 of this Agreement, as applicable.  Nothing herein shall in any way limit or exclude any other right granted by law or equity to any party.

 

9) Cooperation.   The parties acknowledge that from time to time the assistance and cooperation of Executive may be of value with respect to (a) areas and matters in which Executive was involved during his employment, including with respect to any internal or external communications concerning the business of BBCN, his involvement and participation therein and his termination of employment, and (b) transitioning matters in which Executive was involved during his employment. Such assistance and cooperation, including Executive’s compensation and time requirements, shall be determined upon the reasonable agreement of the parties. Executive will be provided an opportunity to review and approve any internal or external announcements regarding his termination of service.  Executive acknowledges that he has approved a press release to be issued upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

10) Non-Disparagement.  Executive shall not make any public comments disparaging or denigrating BBCN, including each of its respective current, former and future officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, and shareholders, or encourage or assist any other person or entity making any such public comments.  BBCN shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the members of BBCN’s Board of Directors and its executive officers with the title of Senior Vice President and above not to make any public comments disparaging or denigrating Executive or encourage or assist any other person or entity making any such public comments.  Nothing set forth herein shall be interpreted to prohibit either party from responding publicly to incorrect public statements, making truthful statements when required by law, subpoena, court order, or the like and/or from responding to any inquiry about this Agreement or its underlying facts and circumstances by any regulatory or investigatory organization and/or from making any truthful statements in the course of any legal proceeding.

 

11) Return of Property. No later than the Termination Date, Executive agrees to return to BBCN all company-owned property in his possession, specifically including all keys and card keys to company buildings or property; all company-owned equipment; and all company documents and papers, including all trade secrets and other confidential company information and, after returning such information to BBCN, to purge all BBCN confidential information from any personal computers, tablets or other such devices and otherwise to follow BBCN security protocols applicable to employees whose employment has been terminated.

12) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the complete agreement between Executive and BBCN relating the Executive’s termination of employment.  Executive acknowledges that, except as described in this Agreement, Executive is not entitled to any further compensation or benefits from BBCN.  Executive further acknowledges and agrees that, in signing this Agreement, Executive does not rely and has not relied upon any representations or statements by BBCN or representative thereof with regard to the subject matter, basis, or effect of this Agreement or the Release Agreement that are not specifically set forth in this Agreement or the Release Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall limit, supersede, nullify, or affect (a) the Incentive Agreement, (b) Executive’s claims for indemnification and advancement of expenses as a director, officer or employee of BBCN under the Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of BBCN and any indemnification agreement or (c) any duties and responsibilities Executive may have or owe to BBCN by virtue of any separate agreement or obligation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the termination of his employment, Executive shall continue to have a duty and obligation to maintain the confidentiality of all trade secrets (including lists of customers and customer prospects of BBCN) and other confidential information of BBCN and its customers and not to use any such trade secrets  or other confidential information for any purpose except in connection with the services to be provided pursuant to Sections 2 and 9 of this Agreement.

 

13) Severability.  If any section, subsection or provision hereof is found for any reason whatsoever to be invalid or inoperative, that section, subsection or provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the force and validity of any other provision of this Agreement.  If any covenant herein is determined by a court to be overly broad thereby making the covenant unenforceable, the parties agree and it is their desire that such court shall substitute a reasonable judicially enforceable limitation in place of the offensive part of the covenant and that as so modified the covenant shall be as fully enforceable as if set forth herein by the parties themselves in the modified form.  The covenants of Executive in this Agreement shall each be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against BBCN, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by BBCN of the covenants in this Agreement.

 

14) No Admission of Wrongdoing.  Neither this Agreement nor the Release Agreement shall be construed as an admission of liability or wrong-doing by either party.

 

15) No Limitation of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise affect BBCN’s rights with respect to any compensation plans, agreements or arrangements, including, without limitation, any rights it may have to amend, modify or terminate such plans, agreements or arrangements in accordance with their terms.

 

16) Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

 

  

4

  

 

17) Construction.  Each party acknowledges that: (a) it has read this Agreement and the Release Agreement; (b) it has been represented in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of its own choice; and (c) it understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement and is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strongly against either party, regardless of who is more responsible for its preparation.  If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any present or future law, the part that is affected shall be curtailed only to the extent necessary to bring it within the requirements of that law.

 

18) Expenses and Fees.  Subject to the next sentence, each party shall bear the expenses incurred by such party in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  If any legal action or arbitration is brought relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in any final judgment or arbitration award, or the non-dismissing party in the event of a voluntary dismissal by the party instituting the action, shall be entitled to the full amount of all reasonable expenses, including all court costs, arbitration fees and actual attorneys’ fees paid or incurred in good faith.

 

19) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

20) Successors.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Executive.  In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to BBCN, BBCN will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the stock, business and/or assets of BBCN, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that BBCN would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  Executive agrees and consents to any such assumption by a successor or parent of BBCN, as well as any assignment of this Agreement by BBCN for that purpose.  As used in this Agreement, “BBCN” shall mean BBCN as herein before defined as well as any such successor or parent that expressly assumes this Agreement or otherwise becomes bound by all of its terms and provisions by operation of law.

 

21) Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement executed by each of the parties.

 

22) Tax Withholding.  BBCN may deduct from all compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement any taxes or withholdings BBCN is required to deduct pursuant to state, federal or local laws.

 

23) Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and any payment made hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, or an exemption or exclusion therefrom and any related regulations or other guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not be construed to require a gross-up or other reimbursement payment in respect of any taxes, interest or penalties imposed on Executive as a result of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

This Release and Waiver of Claims (“Release Agreement”) is entered into effective as of January [31], 2013, by and between BBCN Bancorp, Inc. (together, with its subsidiaries, “BBCN”) and Alvin D. Kang (“you” or “Executive”).

 

BBCN and Executive agree as follows:

 

1. In accordance with the Separation and Release Agreement entered into by and between BBCN and Executive, effective as of January 14, 2013 (the “Separation Agreement”), the employment relationship between Executive and BBCN will terminate at the close of business on January 31, 2013.

 

2. General Release.  Except for those obligations of BBCN created by the Separation Agreement or this Release Agreement or for any claims to indemnification and to advancement of expenses as a director, officer or employee of BBCN you may have under the Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of BBCN, any indemnification agreement, you may have entered into with the foregoing or otherwise by law, you, Executive, release and discharge and promise not to sue BBCN, and each of its or their current and former partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, successors and assignees, past and present, and each of them (individually and collectively, “Releasees”) from and with respect to any and all claims, wages, release agreements, obligations, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, concealed or hidden (collectively, “Claims”), of any kind whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with your service as an employee or director of BBCN (or the termination of such services), including without limitation any Claims for wages, penalties, severance pay, bonuses or similar benefits, sick leave, pension, retirement, vacation pay, life insurance, health or medical insurance or any other fringe benefit, any benefits arising from any ERISA benefit plan, workers’ compensation or disability, any Claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, and orders of the California Industrial Welfare Commission, or any other federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance, and any other Claims resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of Releasees committed or omitted prior to date you sign this Release Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Release Agreement, you are not releasing any claim that may not be waived as a matter of law.  This Release does not prevent you from filing a charge with or participating in an investigation by a governmental administrative agency; but you waive any right to receive any monetary award resulting from such a charge or investigation.

 

3. ADEA Release.  You also expressly acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the release set forth in Section 2 above, you are waiving and releasing any and all rights or claims against Releasees that you may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), which have arisen on or before the date you sign this Release Agreement.  You also expressly acknowledge and agree that:

 

  

7

  

 

(a)           In return for this Release Agreement, you will receive consideration (including the payments and benefits due under the Separation Agreement) in addition to any consideration you were already entitled to receive before entering into this Release Agreement;

 

(b)           You are advised to consult with an attorney before signing this Release Agreement;

 

(c)           You were given a copy of this Release Agreement and informed that you have at least twenty-one (21) days in which to consider this Release Agreement.

(d)           You understand that you have seven (7) days after you sign this Release Agreement in which to revoke this Release Agreement (the “Revocation Period”).  This Release Agreement will not be effective or enforceable until the Revocation Period expires without you revoking the Release Agreement.  If you revoke this Release Agreement before the expiration of the Revocation Period, then this Release Agreement shall be of no force or effect.  To revoke, you must deliver your written notice of revocation before expiration of the Revocation Period to the Chairman of the Board of BBCN.

 

4.           California Civil Code Section 1542.  THE RELEASES SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 2 AND 3 OF THIS RELEASE AGREEMENT APPLY TO KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS.  ACCORDINGLY, YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

 

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

5.           No Claims Assigned or Filed.  You represent and warrant that you have not assigned or transferred to any person, BBCN or entity not a party to this Release Agreement any of the “Claims” released pursuant to Sections 2, 3, and 4 of this Release Agreement.

6.           Miscellaneous.  This Release Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding such state’s conflict of laws principles.  If any provision of this Release Agreement or its application is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Release Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application; therefore, the provisions of this Release Agreement are declared to be severable.  This Release Agreement constitutes the entire Release Agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior negotiations and all release agreements, whether written or oral.  This Release Agreement may be modified only by a writing signed by all of the parties to this Release Agreement and no waiver of any provision in this Release Agreement shall be binding on any party unless in writing and signed by such party.  This Release Agreement is binding on and enforceable against BBCN and your heirs, successors and assigns.  This Release Agreement is not and shall not be construed as an indication that you or BBCN may have engaged in any wrongful conduct.  This Release Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart, when executed, shall have the efficacy of a signed original.  Photographic and facsimile copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose.

(ii) use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act at the earliest possible time, but in no event later than 150 days after the Closing Date, (iii) in
connection with the foregoing, file (A) all pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, a

  
 3 

 
post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) all necessary filings in connection with the registration and qualification of
the Exchange Securities to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the
Exchange Offer. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use its reasonable best efforts to Consummate the Exchange Offer not later than 30 Business Days after the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective (the
“Exchange Date”). The Exchange Offer, if required pursuant to this Section 3(a), shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted
Securities and to permit resales of Transfer Restricted Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof. 
 (b) If an Exchange Offer Registration Statement is required to be filed and declared effective pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement to be effective continuously and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer;
provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all
applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the
Exchange Offer to be Consummated by the Exchange Date. 
 (c) The Issuer shall indicate in a “Plan of
Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Issuer), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the
Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain
all other information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the
amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement. 

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own
accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time
to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 365 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in
connection with market-making or other trading activities. 

  
 4 

 The Issuer shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to
Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such 365-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, the requirements to file and the requirements to Consummate the Exchange Offer shall terminate at such time as all the Securities are
Freely Tradeable. 
 SECTION 4. Shelf Registration. 

(a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Issuer is not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), (ii) for any reason
the Exchange Offer is not Consummated by the Exchange Date, or (iii) prior to the Exchange Date: (A) the Initial Purchasers so request from the Issuer with respect to Transfer Restricted Securities not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange
Securities in the Exchange Offer, (B) with respect to any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder notifies the Issuer that (i) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the
Exchange Offer, (ii) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not
appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (iii) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Issuer or one of its affiliates or (C) in the case of any Initial
Purchaser, such Initial Purchaser notifies the Issuer it will not receive Freely Tradable Exchange Securities in exchange for Transfer Restricted Securities constituting any portion of such Initial Purchaser’s unsold allotment, the Issuer and
the Guarantors shall: 
 (x) cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on or prior to the earliest to occur of (1) the 45th day after the date on which the
Issuer determines that it is not required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (2) 90 days after the Closing Date (in the case of clause (ii) above) and (3) the 45th day after the date on which the Issuer receives notice
from a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or an Initial Purchaser as contemplated by clause (iii) and (iv) above (such earliest date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall
provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have provided the information required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and 

(y) use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the Commission on or before the 90th day
after the Shelf Filing Deadline. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the
Holders of such Transfer Restricted Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as
announced from time to time, from the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission until the expiration of the one year period referred to in Rule 144 applicable to securities held by non-affiliates under
the 

  
 5 

 
Securities Act (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement or are Freely Tradable). 
 (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with
the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the
Issuer in writing, within 20 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Issuer may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included
therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuer all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuer by such Holder
not materially misleading. 
 (c) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each of the Issuer and the
Guarantors represents and agrees that, in connection with any underwritten offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, unless it obtains the prior consent of a majority of the Transfer Restricted Securities that are participating in such offering or
the consent of the managing underwriter in connection with any underwritten offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, and each Holder represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Issuer and any such underwriter, it will
not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing
prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. The Issuer represents that any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when taken together with the information in the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will
not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

SECTION 5. Additional Interest. 
 If either (a) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been filed within 75 days after the Closing Date, the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated by the Exchange Date or a Shelf
Registration Statement, if required hereby, has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such filing in this Agreement or (b) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared
effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself
immediately declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (a) and (b), a “Registration Default”), the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby agree that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall
be increased by $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount
at the end of each subsequent 90-day period (such increase, “Additional Interest”, but in no event shall the total of all such increases exceed $0.30 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities). At the
earlier of (i) the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to the particular Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) the particular Transfer Restricted Securities having become Freely Tradable, the interest rate borne by the relevant
Transfer Restricted Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest
rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions. 

  
 6 

 All references in the Indenture to “interest” include the Additional Interest
payable pursuant to this Section 5, and all accrued Additional Interest shall be payable to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the
Securities. 
 All obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraphs that are outstanding with
respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such Transfer Restricted Security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Transfer Restricted Security shall have
been satisfied in full. 
 SECTION 6. Registration Procedures. 

(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, if required pursuant to
Section 3(a) hereof, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) below, shall use their reasonable best efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities
being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and shall comply with all of the following provisions: 
 (i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Issuer there is a question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby agree to seek a
no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Issuer and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities. The Issuer and the Guarantors each hereby agree to pursue the issuance
of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. The Issuer and the Guarantors each hereby agree, however, to (A) participate in
telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Issuer setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be
permitted and (C) diligently pursue a favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such submission. 

(ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Issuer, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Issuer (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the Issuer, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a distribution of
the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the
Issuer’s preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer
(1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corp. (available
May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and
(2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with 

  
 7 

 
a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by
Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Transfer Restricted Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Issuer. 

(b) Shelf Registration Statement. If required pursuant to Section 4, in connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and shall use their reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted
Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a Registration
Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof.

 (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any Prospectus
required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus required to permit resales of Transfer Restricted Securities by
Broker-Dealers), each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall: 
 (i) use their reasonable best efforts to keep
such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements including, if required by the Securities Act or any regulation thereunder, financial statements of the Guarantors for the period specified in
Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall file promptly an
appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or document incorporated by reference, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B),
use their reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter; 

(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration
Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by
such Registration Statement have been sold or are Freely Tradable; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully
with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act, as applicable, in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration
Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 

  
 8 

 (iii) advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly and,
if requested by such Persons, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for
offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, and (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending
the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of
such order at the earliest possible time; 
 (iv) furnish without charge to each of the Initial Purchasers, each
selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of the Initial Purchaser(s) and such Holders
and underwriter(s) in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business Days, and the Issuer will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or
Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to which the Initial Purchaser(s) or such Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object in writing after the receipt thereof (such objection to be deemed timely
made upon confirmation of telecopy transmission within such period). The objection of an Initial Purchaser or a Holder or an underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement,
as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

(v) to the extent practicable, promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a
Registration Statement or Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and to the underwriter(s), if any, make the Issuer’s management, officers and other
representatives available and management, officers and other representatives of the Guarantors available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document prior to the filing
thereof as such selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, reasonably may request; 

  
 9 

 (vi) make available at reasonable times for inspection by the Initial
Purchaser(s), the managing underwriter(s), if any, participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by such Initial Purchaser or any of the underwriter(s), all financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Issuer and the Guarantors and cause the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Initial
Purchaser, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness and make available, to the extent reasonable under
the circumstances, the Issuer’s management, officers and other representatives for meetings with investors typical for roadshows of underwritten securities to the extent requested by any Initial Purchaser or underwriter; 

(vii) if requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any Registration
Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation,
information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities, information with respect to the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Issuer is
notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (viii)
use reasonable best efforts to confirm that the ratings assigned to the Transfer Restricted Securities will apply to the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement, if so requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Securities covered thereby or the underwriter(s), if any; 
 (ix) furnish to each Initial
Purchaser, each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules
and, if requested in writing, all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference); 
 (x) deliver to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto
as such Persons reasonably may request; each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection
with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
 (xi) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement), make such representations and warranties, and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate
the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be requested by any Initial Purchaser or by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or
underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement; and, whether or not an 

  
 10 

 
underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not such registration is an Underwritten Registration, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall: 

(A) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as
they may request and as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the date of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (only if such date occurs): 

(1) a certificate, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement signed by (y) the President
or any Vice President and (z) a principal financial or accounting officer of the Issuer and the Guarantors, confirming as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(e) of the
Purchase Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably request; 
 (2) an opinion, dated the
date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of counsel for the Issuer and the Guarantors covering the matters set forth in paragraph 5(c) of the Purchase Agreement and such other matters customarily covered in opinions, reasonably requested
in underwritten offerings, and in any event including a statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Issuer and the Guarantors, representatives of the independent public
accountants for the Issuer and the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers’ representatives and the Initial Purchasers’ counsel in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and have considered the
matters required to be stated therein and the statements contained therein, although such counsel has not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel advises that, on the basis of the
foregoing, no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that the applicable Registration Statement, at the time such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective, and, in the
case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as of its date and, in the case of the opinion dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, and has not
independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements, notes and schedules and other financial data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and 

(3) customary comfort letters, dated as of the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement in form, scope
and 

  
 11 

 
substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter from (a) the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ independent accountants and (b) the independent accountants of any
other Person for which financial statements are included in or incorporated by reference into such Shelf Registration Statement, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters by underwriters in
connection with primary underwritten offerings and affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 5(a) the Purchase Agreement, without exception; 

(B) set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting agreement, if any, the indemnification provisions
and procedures of Section 8 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section; and 
 (C) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties to evidence compliance with this Section 6(c)(xi) and with any customary conditions contained in the
underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 6(c)(xi), if any. 
 If at any time the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors contemplated in Section 6(c)(xi)(A)(1) hereof cease to be true and correct, the Issuer or the Guarantors shall so
advise the Initial Purchaser(s) and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such advice in writing; 

(xii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders, the
underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders or
underwriter(s) may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however,
that neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than
as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 
 (xiii) shall issue, upon the request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, Exchange Securities, having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities surrendered to the Issuer by such Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Exchange Securities to be registered in the name of such Holder or in the name of the
purchaser of such Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in return, the Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Issuer for cancellation; 

(xiv) cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names

  
 12 

 
as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such underwriter(s); 

(xv) use reasonable best efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject
to the proviso contained in Section 6(c)(xii) hereof; 
 (xvi) if any fact or event contemplated by
Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

 (xvii) provide a CUSIP number for all Securities not later than the effective date of the
Registration Statement covering such Securities, which CUSIP number shall be the same as the CUSIP number applicable to the Issuer’s 6  3/4% Senior Notes due 2019 issued on February 3, 2011 to the extent permitted, and
provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for such Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and take all other action necessary to ensure that all such Securities are eligible for
deposit with the Depository Trust Company; 
 (xviii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be
made with FINRA and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any “qualified independent underwriter”) that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of FINRA, and use
their reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and approved by such governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders selling Transfer Restricted Securities to consummate the
disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities; 
 (xix) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to the Issuer’s security holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Securities Act
(which need not be audited) for the twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts Underwritten Offering or (B) if
not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the Issuer’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement; and 

(xx) provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of
Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act. 
 Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable
Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or 

  
 13 

 
amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Issuer that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed,
and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If so directed by the Issuer, each Holder will deliver to the Issuer (at the Issuer’s expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Issuer shall give any such notice, the time period
regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to
Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or
shall have received the Advice; provided, however, it is agreed that the Issuer’s option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5
hereof. 
 SECTION 7. Registration Expenses. 

(a) All expenses incident to the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement
will be borne by the Issuer and the Guarantors jointly and severally, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by
any Initial Purchaser or Holder with FINRA (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel that may be required by the rules and regulations of FINRA)); (ii) all fees and expenses
of compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue sky laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger
and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuer, the Guarantors and, subject to Section 7(b) below, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all fees and disbursements of
independent certified public accountants of the Issuer and the Guarantors (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance); and (vi) all fees and expenses of the trustee and the
exchange agent and their counsel. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors will, in any event, bear their internal expenses (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Issuer or the
Guarantors. 
 (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered
in the Exchange Offer and/or resold pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and
disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose
benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared. 
 SECTION 8. Indemnification. 

  
 14 

 (a) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify
and hold harmless (i) each Holder (including, without limitation, the Initial Purchasers) and (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any
Holder (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder or
any controlling person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon,
arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (including the Rule 430B Information) or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any of the Holders furnished in
writing to the Issuer by any of the Holders expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have. 

In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought
or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Issuer or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify
the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing; provided, however, that (i) the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any of the Issuer or the Guarantors of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement unless the Issuer or the Guarantors are
materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice and (ii) the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any of the Issuer or the Guarantors from any liability which it may have to any of the Indemnified Holders otherwise than under the
indemnification provisions contained in this Section 8. Such Indemnified Holder shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the Issuer and
the Guarantors (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Holder is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). The Issuer and the Guarantors shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but
substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated by the Indemnified Holders. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected with the Issuer’s and the
Guarantors’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Issuer and the Guarantors. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder

  
 15 

 
is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such
action, claim, litigation or proceeding and (ii) 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 Holder. 

(b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and their respective directors and officers who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Guarantors to each of the
Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to claims and actions based on information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought
against the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers or their respective directors or officers or any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall
have the rights and duties given the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, and the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers their respective directors and officers and such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given
to each Holder by the preceding paragraph. 
 (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to
therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be
deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds to the Issuer and the Guarantors from the Initial Placement), and such Registration Statement, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Issuer and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Indemnified Holder 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 Issuer or any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. 

The Issuer, the Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, 

  
 16 

 
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none of the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required
to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities
held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint. 
 SECTION 9. Rule 144A. 

The Issuer and the Guarantors each hereby agree with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding,
to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information
required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 
 SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. 
 No Holder
may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted 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 reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. 
 The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such
Underwritten Offering, the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such
offering; provided, however, that such investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) must be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. 

SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Remedies. The Issuer and the Guarantors each hereby agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this
Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent
with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors has entered into any 

  
 17 

 
agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with
the rights granted to the holders of the Issuer’s or any of the Guarantor’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
 (c) Adjustments Affecting the Securities. The Issuer and the Guarantors will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the Securities that would materially and adversely
affect their ability and the ability of the Holders to Consummate the Exchange Offer. 
 (d) Amendments and
Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuer has (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and
this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding
principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Issuer or its affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange
Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided, however, that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the
rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Issuer shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective. 

(e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by
hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), facsimile or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:
