 4 

 
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 Series A-2 Notes to
be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Series A-2 Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Series A-2 Exchange Offer. The Series
A-2 Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Series A-2 Notes to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit resales of Series A-2 Notes held by Broker-Dealers as
contemplated by Section 3(c) below. 
 (b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best
efforts to cause the Series A-2 Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and shall keep the Series A-2 Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Series A-2 Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days after the date notice of the Series A-2 Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The
Issuer and the Guarantors shall cause the Series A-2 Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Series A-2 Notes and, at the Issuer’s option, the Series A-1 Notes shall be
included in the Series A-2 Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Series A-2 Exchange Offer to be Consummated on or before the Registration Deadline. 

(c) If, prior to consummation of the Series A-2 Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchasers hold any Initial Series A-2 Notes
acquired by them that have the status of an unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the Issuer, upon the request of the Initial Purchasers, shall simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Series A-2 Notes issue and deliver to the
Initial Purchasers, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for such Initial Series A-2 Notes held by any such Holder, a like principal amount of notes (the “Private Exchange Series A-2 Notes”) of the Issuer,
guaranteed by the Guarantors, that are identical in all material respects to the Exchange Series A-2 Notes except for the placement of a restrictive legend on such Private Exchange Series A-2 Notes. The Private Exchange Series A-2 Notes shall be
issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange Series A-2 Notes and bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Series A-2 Notes if permitted by the CUSIP Service Bureau. 

(d) The Issuer shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus forming a part of
the Series A-2 Exchange Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Initial Series A-2 Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and 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 Initial Series A-2 Notes pursuant to the Series A-2 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 Series A-2 Notes received by such Broker-Dealer
in the Series A-2 Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Series A-2 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 Series A-2 Notes held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement. 

 

 5 

 The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Series A-2
Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) below to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Series A-2 Notes 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) 90 days from the date on which the Series A-2 Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective, (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 and (iii) the date on which all the Series A-2 Notes covered by such Series A-2 Exchange Offer Registration Statement have been sold pursuant
to such Series A-2 Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
 The Issuer shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of
such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such 90-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales. 

SECTION 4. Shelf Registration. 

(a) Shelf Registration. If (1) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations
of the staff of the Commission, the Issuer is not permitted to effect the Series A-2 Exchange Offer, (2) the Series A-2 Exchange Offer is not Consummated on or before the Registration Deadline, (3) any holder of Private Exchange Notes so
requests in writing to the Issuer at any time within 30 days after the consummation of the Exchange Offer, or (4) in the case of any Holder that participates in the Series A-2 Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive Exchange Securities on
or before the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act) and so
notifies the Issuer within 30 days after such Holder first becomes aware of such restrictions, in the case of each of clauses (1) to and including clause (3) of this sentence, then, upon such Holder’s request, the Issuer and the
Guarantors shall (unless the Series A-2 Notes are eligible for resale under Rule 144, without regard to volume, manner of sale or other restrictions contained in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule)): 

(x) use their reasonable best efforts to file a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be
an amendment to the Series A-2 Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) as soon as practicable after the filing obligation arises, 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 commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective promptly by the Commission.

 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 Series A-2 Notes by the Holders of 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, until the earliest of
(i) two years after the Initial Placement Date of the Initial Series A-2 Notes, (ii) such time as all of the Initial Series A-2 Notes have been sold thereunder or (iii) the date upon which all Initial Series A-2 Notes covered by such

  

 6 

 
Shelf Registration Statement become eligible for resale under Rule 144, without regard to volume, manner of sale or other restrictions contained in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any
successor rule) (the “Effectiveness Period”). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at
any time, the Issuer may delay the filing of any Shelf Registration Statement or delay or suspend the effectiveness thereof, for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of 60 consecutive days or more than three (3) times during any
calendar year (each, a “Shelf Suspension Period”), if the Board of Directors of the Company determines reasonably and in good faith that the filing of any such Initial Shelf Registration Statement or the continuing effectiveness
thereof would require the disclosure of non-public material information that, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, would be detrimental to the Issuer if so disclosed or would otherwise materially adversely affect a
financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other material transaction or such action is required by applicable law. 

(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. 

SECTION 5. Additional Interest. 

If (a) the Series A-2 Exchange Offer has not been Consummated or a Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective by
the Commission on or prior to the Registration Deadline, or (b) if applicable, a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale
of all of the Transfer Restricted Securities registered thereunder) (each such event referred to in clauses (a) and (b), a “Registration Default”), then additional interest (“Additional Interest”) shall accrue
on the principal amount of the Series A-2 Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each
subsequent 90-day period that such Additional Interest continues to accrue; provided that the rate which such Additional Interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.00% per annum) (such Additional Interest to be calculated by the Issuer)
commencing on the (x) first day after the Registration Deadline, in the case of clause (a) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective in the case of clause (b) above; provided, however,
that upon the exchange of the Exchange Series A-2 Notes for all Transfer Restricted Securities tendered, or upon the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective, Additional Interest on the Series
A-2 Notes in respect of which such events relate as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5, the Issuer shall not be
obligated to pay Additional Interest provided in this Section 5 during a Shelf Suspension Period permitted by Section 4(a) hereof. 
  

 7 

 SECTION 6. Registration Procedures. 

(a) Series A-2 Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Series A-2 Exchange Offer, the Issuer
and each of the Guarantors shall comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) below, shall use their 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 Series A-2 Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law and it is advisable to do so, 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 a Series A-2 Exchange Offer for such Initial Series A-2 Notes. 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 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 a Series A-2 Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently
pursue a resolution by the Commission staff of such submission. 
 (ii) As a condition to its participation in
the Series A-2 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 Series A-2 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 Series A-2 Notes to be issued in the Series A-2 Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Series A-2 Notes 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 Series A-2 Exchange Offer. Each Holder, including any Holder that is a Broker-Dealer, shall acknowledge and
agree that any such Holder using the Series A-2 Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Series A-2 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 Corporation (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 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 Series A-2 Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Series A-2 Notes acquired by such Holder directly from the Issuer. 

(b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer and each
of the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below. 
  

 8 

 (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 Series A-2
Notes by Broker-Dealers), 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; 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 an amendment, 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 Registration Statement as
may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof; 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; 
 (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, 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; 
  

 9 

 (iv) furnish without charge to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, each
selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, at least one copy before filing with the Commission of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any
such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including, if requested in writing by any such Person, all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement, if not available on the Commission’s EDGAR
database), which Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus will be subject to the review of the Initial Purchasers and such Holders and underwriter(s)
in connection with such sale, if any, for a reasonable period, and the Issuer will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus to which the Initial Purchasers
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 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) make reasonably available for inspection by the
Initial Purchasers, any managing underwriter 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 material financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Issuer and the Guarantors and cause the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ officers and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter,
attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons to conduct an investigation within the
meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, (A) that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver &
Jacobson LLP and on behalf of any other parties by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 7 hereof, and (B) that any information that is reasonably and in good faith designated by the Issuer
in writing as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by the Initial Purchasers, the Holders, or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or other agent, unless (1) disclosure of such information is
required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (2) disclosure of such information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities laws in
connection with the filing of such Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus), (3) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard such information by such
person or (4) such information becomes available to such Initial Purchaser, Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or other agent from a source other than the Issuer and such source is not known, after due inquiry, by the relevant Initial
Purchaser, Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or other agent to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or is not otherwise under a duty of trust to the Issuer. 

(vi) if requested in writing by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a 
  

 10 

 
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; 

(vii) use commercially reasonable efforts to confirm that the ratings assigned to the Initial Series A-2 Notes 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 Series A-2 Notes covered thereby or the underwriter(s), if any; 

(viii) furnish to 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); 
 (ix) 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; 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; 
 (x) 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 Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this
Agreement, all to such extent as may be reasonably requested by an Initial Purchaser or by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by
this Agreement; and, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not such registration is an Underwritten Registration, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall: 

(A) furnish to the Initial Purchasers, 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:

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 (relying as to materiality to a large extent upon facts provided to such counsel by officers and other representatives of the Issuer and the Guarantors and without independent check or verification), no facts came to such
counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that the Shelf Registration Statement, at the time such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective 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 contained an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, 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 the effectiveness of
the Shelf Registration Statement in form, scope and 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 in to 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; 
 (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 clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Issuer or the Guarantors pursuant to this clause (x), if any. 

 

 12 

 If at any time the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors
contemplated in clause (A)(1) above cease to be true and correct, the Issuer or the Guarantors shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall confirm
such advice in writing; 
 (xi) 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 securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling
Holders or underwriter(s) may reasonably 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; 

(xii) shall issue, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Series A-2 Notes covered by and sold pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement, Exchange Series A-2 Notes, having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Series A-2 Notes surrendered to the Issuer by such Holder in exchange therefor; such Exchange Series A-2 Notes
to be registered in the name of the purchaser of such Series A-2 Notes; in return, the Initial Series A-2 Notes held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Issuer for cancellation; 

(xiii) 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 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); 

(xiv) use commercially reasonable 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 clause (xi) above; 
 (xv) if any fact or event contemplated
by clause (c)(iii)(D) above 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;

  

 13 

 (xvi) provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not
later than the effective date of the Registration Statement and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company;

 (xvii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the 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 the 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; 
 (xviii) otherwise use their 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 (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 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; 

(xix) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than the effective date of the first
Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with, and cause the Guarantors to cooperate with, the Trustee and the Holders of Series A-2 Notes to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required
for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute, and cause the Guarantors to execute, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be
required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 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 shall agree 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 amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xv) 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 
  

 14 

 
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)(xv) hereof or shall have received the Advice; however, no such extension shall be taken into account in determining whether Additional Interest is due pursuant to
Section 5 hereof or the amount of such Additional Interest. 
 SECTION 7. Registration Expenses. 

(a) All expenses incident to the Issuer’s or the Guarantors’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement
will be borne by the Issuer and the Guarantors, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by the Initial Purchasers
or Holders with the 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 the FINRA)); (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance
with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including 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 Shelf Registration Statement required by this Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors will
reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being 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 Shelf Registration Statement is being
prepared. 
 SECTION 8. Indemnification. 

(a) The Issuer agrees and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder
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 
  

 15 

 
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 or
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 and the Guarantors by any of the Holders expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuer or any Guarantor 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 any Guarantor, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the
Issuer and the Guarantors in writing (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Issuer or the Guarantors of their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent they are materially prejudiced
as a proximate result of such failure). In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Holder and such Indemnified Holder seeks or intends to seek indemnity from the Issuer or the Guarantors, the Issuer or the Guarantors will be entitled
to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Holder promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified
Holder, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Holder; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Holder and the Issuer or the Guarantors and the
Indemnified Holder shall have reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that a conflict may arise between the positions of the Issuer or the Guarantors and the Indemnified Holder in conducting the defense of any such action or that there
may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Holders which are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer or the Guarantors, the Indemnified Holder or Holders shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Holder or Holders. Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer or Guarantors to such Indemnified Holder of the Issuer’s or the
Guarantors’ election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the Indemnified Holder of counsel, the Issuer or the Guarantors will not be liable to such Indemnified Holder under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Holder in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnified Holder shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that the Issuer or the Guarantors shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the Issuer or the Guarantors, representing the Indemnified Holders who are parties to such
action) or (ii) the Issuer or the Guarantors shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Holder to represent the Indemnified Holder within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases
the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Issuer or the Guarantors. It is understood and agreed that the Issuer or the Guarantors shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (together with any local counsel) for all Indemnified Holders. Each Indemnified Holder, as a condition to indemnification hereunder, shall use all reasonable efforts to
cooperate with the Issuer or the Guarantors in the defense of any such action or claim. The Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without the Issuer’s prior written consent, but if settled with
such consent or there be a 
  

 16 

 
final judgment for the plaintiff, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by
reason of such settlement or judgment. 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 is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination
includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding. 

(b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Guarantors and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents, and any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the
Issuer and 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, any such controlling person, or their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents 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 and the Guarantors and the Issuer, the Guarantors, such controlling person and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents shall have the rights and duties
given to each Indemnified Holder by Section 8(a). In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Series A-2 Notes giving
rise to such indemnification obligation. 
 (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections, including by reason of failure to notify the Issuer and the Guarantors of indemnification
obligations thereunder to the extent that they are materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure) 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 shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds from
the Initial Placement as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum) or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, 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 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 by the Indemnified Holder 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), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. 
  

 17 

 The Issuer and the Guarantors agree and each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities shall 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, 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 net proceeds
received by such Holder from the sale of the Series A-2 Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement 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 Initial Series A-2 Notes held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint.

 SECTION 9. Rule 144A. 

The Issuer and the Guarantors each hereby agrees 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. 

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 or investment bankers and manager or managers 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 that such investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. 

 

 18 

 SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Remedies. The Issuer and the Guarantors each hereby agrees 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. The Issuer will not, and will cause the Guarantors to 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 agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person pursuant to which any such Person would have the right to include any securities in any Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission
as required under this Agreement. 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 securities under any agreement in effect on the date
hereof. 
 (c) Adjustments Affecting the Series A-2 Notes. The Issuer and the Guarantors will not take any
action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the Series A-2 Notes that would materially and adversely affect their ability to Consummate the Series A-2 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 obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities. 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 Series A-2 Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly
the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Series A-2 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 that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of the Initial Purchasers hereunder, the Issuer shall obtain the written consent of the Initial Purchasers 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), telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

 Exhibit 10.1 

EXECUTION COPY 

This TRANSACTION AND MANAGEMENT FEE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of October 28, 2008 and
is between Sky Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the “Company”), and Blackstone Management Partners V L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“BMP”).

 BACKGROUND 

1. The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2008, as it may be amended, supplemented or
modified (the “Merger Agreement”), by among Sky Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), the Company, and Apria Healthcare Group Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Apria”). 
 2. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company is merging with and into Apria
(the “Merger”), with Apria surviving the Merger. As a result, Apria shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Company in accordance with the Merger, including the obligations set forth in this
Agreement. References in this Agreement to the Company encompass Apria after the Merger. 
 3. BMP has expertise in the areas of
finance, strategy, investment, acquisitions and other matters relating to the Company, Apria and their business and has facilitated the Merger and certain other related transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”) through
its provision of financial and structural analysis, due diligence investigations, other advice and negotiation assistance with all relevant parties to the Transactions. BMP has also provided advice and negotiation assistance with relevant parties in
connection with the financing of the Transactions as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. 
 4. The Company desires to avail
itself, for the term of this Agreement, of BMP’s expertise in providing financial and structural analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy, other advice and negotiation assistance, which the Company believes will be beneficial
to it, and BMP desires to provide the services to the Company as set forth in this Agreement in consideration of the payment of the fees described below. 

5. The rendering by BMP of the services described in this Agreement has been made and will be made on the basis that the Company will
pay, or cause to be paid, the fees described below. 
 In consideration of the premises and agreements contained herein and of
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

AGREEMENT 

SECTION 1. Transaction and M&A Management Fees. In consideration of BMP undertaking financial and structural
analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy and other advice and negotiation assistance necessary in order to enable the Transactions to be consummated, the Company will pay BMP at the closing of the Merger (the
“Closing” and the date of such Closing, the “Closing Date”) a non-refundable and irrevocable transaction fee of $18,733,969.22. 

SECTION 2. Appointment. The Company hereby engages BMP to render the Services (as defined in Section 3(a), below)
on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. 

 SECTION 3. Services. 

(a) BMP agrees that until the Termination Date (as defined below) or the earlier termination of its obligations under this
Section 3(a) pursuant to Section 4(f) hereof, it will render to the Company, by and through itself and its affiliates and such of their respective officers, employees, representatives, agents and third parties as BMP in its sole discretion
may designate from time to time (“Representatives”), monitoring, advisory and consulting services in relation to the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, (i) advice regarding the
structure, distribution and timing of private or public debt or equity offerings and advice regarding relationships with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ lenders and bankers, including in relation to the selection, retention and
supervision of independent auditors, outside legal counsel, investment bankers or other financial advisors or consultants, (ii) advice regarding the strategy of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iii) advice regarding the structuring and
implementation of equity participation plans, employee benefit plans and other incentive arrangements for certain key executives of the Company, (iv) general advice regarding dispositions and/or acquisitions, (v) advice regarding the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries and (vi) such other advice directly related or ancillary to the above financial advisory services as may be reasonably requested by the Company (collectively, the “Services”).
BMP will have no obligation to provide any other services to the Company absent an agreement between BMP and the Company over the scope of such other services and the payment therefor. 

(b) It is expressly agreed that the Services to be rendered hereunder will not include investment banking or other financial advisory
services which may be provided by BMP or any of its affiliates to the Company, or any of its affiliates, in connection with any specific acquisition, divestiture, disposition, merger, consolidation, restructuring, refinancing, recapitalization,
issuance of private or public debt or equity securities (including, without limitation, an initial public offering of equity securities), financing or similar transaction by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. BMP may be entitled to receive
additional compensation for providing services of the type specified in the preceding sentence by mutual agreement of the Company or such subsidiary, on the one hand, and BMP or its relevant affiliate, on the other hand. In the absence of an express
agreement regarding the provision by BMP or its affiliate of such services and the compensation therefor in connection with any such transaction specified in this Section 3(b), in lieu of being engaged to provide such services on mutually
agreeable terms and without regard to whether any such services were performed, BMP shall be entitled to receive upon consummation of: 

(i) any such acquisition, divestiture, disposition, merger, consolidation, restructuring or recapitalization, a
non-refundable and irrevocable fee equal to (x) 1% of the aggregate enterprise value of the acquired, divested, disposed of, merged, consolidated, restructured or recapitalized entity (calculated, on a consolidated basis for such entity, as the
sum of (1) the market value of its common equity (or the fair market value thereof if not publicly traded), (2) the value of its preferred stock (at liquidation value), (3) the book value of its minority interests and (4) its
aggregate long- and short-term debt, less its cash and cash equivalents), or (y) if such transaction is structured as an asset purchase or sale, 1% of the consideration paid for or received in respect of the assets acquired or disposed of;

 (ii) any such refinancing, a non-refundable and irrevocable fee equal to 1% of the aggregate value of the
securities subject to such refinancing; and 
 (iii) any such issuance, a non-refundable and irrevocable fee
equal to 1% of the aggregate value of the securities subject to such issuance. 

 (c) Without affecting the rights of BMP under Section 3(b) hereof, if the Company or
any of its subsidiaries determines that it is advisable for the Company or such subsidiary to hire a financial advisor, consultant, investment banker or any similar advisor in connection with any acquisition, divestiture, disposition, merger,
consolidation, restructuring, refinancing, recapitalization, issuance of private or public debt or equity securities (including, without limitation, an initial public offering of equity securities), financing or similar transaction, it will notify
BMP of such determination in writing. Promptly thereafter, upon the request of BMP, the parties will negotiate in good faith to agree upon appropriate services, compensation and indemnification for the Company or such subsidiary to hire BMP or one
of its affiliates for such services. The Company and its subsidiaries may not hire any person, other than BMP or one of its affiliates to perform any such services unless all of the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) the parties are
unable to agree upon the terms of the engagement of BMP or its affiliate to render such services after 30 days following receipt by BMP of such written notice; (ii) such other person has a reputation that is at least equal to the reputation of
BMP or its affiliate in respect of such services; (iii) ten business days have elapsed after the Company or such subsidiary provides a written notice to BMP of its intention to hire such other person, which notice shall identify such other
person and shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the services to be provided, the compensation to be paid and the indemnification to be provided; (iv) the compensation to be paid is not more than BMP or its affiliate was willing to
accept in the negotiations described above; and (v) the indemnification to be provided is not more favorable to the Company or the applicable subsidiary than the indemnification that BMP or its affiliate was willing to accept in the
negotiations described above. 
 SECTION 4. Management Fee. 

(a) In consideration of the Services being rendered by BMP, the Company will pay, or will cause to be paid, to BMP an annual
non-refundable and irrevocable management fee (the “Management Fee”; the term “Management Fee” as used in this Agreement with respect to any annual period means all amounts payable with respect to such annual period
pursuant to Sections 4(b) or (c) hereof, as applicable; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 4(b) below, the minimum annual Management Fee payable to BMP shall
be $7,000,000). 
 (b) The Management Fee for the year ending December 31, 2008 shall be equal to $1,227,397.26, which
shall be paid, or caused to be paid, by the Company at the Closing in respect of Services to be rendered from the Closing Date to December 31, 2008. On the first business day of January in each year, beginning in January 2009, the Company shall
pay to BMP the Management Fee in respect of the fiscal year then beginning. 
 (c) The Management Fee for fiscal year 2009 and
each subsequent year shall be equal to the greater of (x) $7,000,000 (adjusted as provided below) or (y) 2.0% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement dated as of the Closing Date by and among Parent, the Company, the
other borrowers from time to time party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, the other agents listed therein and the lenders from time to time party thereto) for the immediately preceding fiscal year (the
“EBITDA Amount”). The EBITDA Amount for purposes of determining the initial payment of the Management Fee will be based on management’s then most recent estimate. Following the availability of audited financial
statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 and each subsequent fiscal year, the Company shall recalculate the EBITDA Amount and the Management Fee, and based on such recalculation, (A) if the applicable recalculated Management
Fee is more than the Management Fee previously paid by the Company to BMP in respect of the then-current fiscal year, the Company shall pay to BMP the difference between such amounts and (B) if the applicable recalculated Management Fee is less
than the Management Fee previously paid by the Company to BMP in respect of the then-current fiscal 

 
year, then BMP shall pay to the Company the difference between such recalculated Management Fee and the Management Fee received from the Company in respect of such fiscal year. Any payment
required by the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Company or BMP, as applicable, promptly following the determination of the amount of such payment. 

(d) In the event the Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into a business combination transaction with another entity that is large
enough to constitute a “significant subsidiary” of the Company under any of the relevant tests contained in Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company and BMP will mutually agree, following good
faith negotiations, on an appropriate increase in the minimum annual Management Fee as warranted by the increase in the Company’s size. Such increase will be based on the percentage increase in the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA determined
on a pro forma basis giving effect to such business combination transaction. 
 (e) To the extent the Company cannot pay, or
cause to be paid, the Management Fee for any reason, including by reason of any prohibition on such payment pursuant to any applicable law or the terms of any debt financing of the Company or its subsidiaries, the payment by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries to BMP of the accrued and payable Management Fee will be deferred and will be payable immediately on the earlier of (i) the first date on which the payment of such deferred Management Fee is no longer prohibited under any
contract applicable to the Company and the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, is otherwise able to make such payment, or cause such payment to be made and (ii) total or partial liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under any applicable law or under any contract applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries, any forbearance of collection of the Management Fee by BMP shall not be deemed to be a subordination of
such payments to any other person, entity or creditor of the Company or its subsidiaries. Any such forbearance shall be at BMP’s sole option and discretion and shall in no way impair BMP’s right to collect such payments. Any installment of
the Management Fee not paid on the scheduled due date will bear interest, payable in cash on each scheduled due date, at an annual rate of 10%, compounded quarterly, from the date due until paid. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, BMP may elect, in its sole discretion by the delivery of
written notice to the Company, at any time in connection with or in anticipation of a change of control of the Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or an initial public offering of the equity of the Company or its
successor or any controlling person thereof (or at any time thereafter) to receive, in consideration of BMP’s role in facilitating the same and in settlement of the termination of the Services, (i) any remaining accrued and unpaid
Management Fees payable by the Company under this Agreement and (ii) in addition to any fees owing to BMP in connection with such transaction pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, a single lump sum non-refundable and irrevocable cash payment
(the “Lump Sum Fee”) equal to the then present value (using a discount rate equal to the yield to maturity on the date of such written notice of the class of outstanding U.S. government bonds having a final maturity closest
to the twelfth anniversary of the date of such election (the “Discount Rate”)) of all then current and future Management Fees payable under this Agreement, assuming the Termination Date is the twelfth anniversary of the date
of such election and assuming that the EBITDA Amount continues to grow at the rate it grew (using the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 as a benchmark, during the subsequent 12 month periods) ending prior to the payment of such Termination Fee.
Promptly after the receipt of such written notice, the Company shall pay the Lump Sum Fee and any accrued and unpaid Management Fees to BMP by wire transfer in same-day funds to the bank account or accounts designated by BMP, which payment shall not
be refundable under any circumstances. Upon the giving of such notice, the obligation of BMP to provide the Services hereunder, and the obligations of the Company to pay Management Fees (except as provided in this Section 4(f)), shall be
terminated, but all other provisions of this Agreement shall continue unaffected. 

 (g) To the extent the Company does not pay, or cause to be paid, any portion of the Lump Sum
Fee by reason of any prohibition on such payment pursuant to any applicable law, the terms of any agreement or indenture governing indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries, any unpaid portion of the Lump Sum Fee shall be paid to BMP
immediately on the earlier of (i) the first date on which the payment of such unpaid amount is no longer prohibited pursuant to such applicable law or under any such agreement or indenture applicable to the Company and the Company or its
subsidiaries, as applicable, is otherwise able to make such payment, or cause such payment to be made and (ii) a total or partial liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under any
applicable law or under any contract applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries, any forbearance of collection of the Lump Sum Fee by BMP shall not be deemed to be a subordination of such payments to any other person, entity or creditor of the
Company or its subsidiaries. Any such forbearance shall be at BMP’s sole option and discretion and shall in no way impair BMP’s right to collect such payments. Any portion of the Lump Sum Payment not paid on the scheduled due date shall
bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Discount Rate, compounded quarterly, from the date due until paid. 
 SECTION 5.
Reimbursements. In addition to the fees payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will pay, or cause to be paid, directly, or reimburse BMP and each of its affiliates for, their respective Out-of-Pocket Expenses (as defined below). For
the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Out-of-Pocket Expenses” means the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by BMP and its affiliates in connection with the Transactions and the Services or other services provided
by them under this Agreement (including prior to the Closing), or in order to make Securities and Exchange Commission and other legally required filings relating to the ownership of equity securities of the Company or its successor by BMP or its
affiliates, or otherwise incurred by BMP or its affiliates from time to time in the future in connection with the ownership or subsequent sale or transfer by BMP or its affiliates of capital stock of the Company or its successor, including, without
limitation, (a) fees and disbursements of any independent professionals and organizations, including independent accountants, outside legal counsel or consultants, retained by BMP or any of its affiliates, (b) costs of any outside services
or independent contractors such as financial printers, couriers, business publications, on-line financial services or similar services, retained or used by BMP or any of its affiliates, and (c) transportation, per diem costs, word processing
expenses or any similar expense not associated with BMP or its affiliates’ ordinary operations. All payments or reimbursements for Out-of-Pocket Expenses will be made by wire transfer in same-day funds promptly upon or as soon as practicable
following request for payment or reimbursement in accordance with this Agreement, to the bank account indicated to the Company by the relevant payee. 

SECTION 6. Indemnification. 

The Company will indemnify and hold harmless BMP, its affiliates and their respective partners (both general and limited), members (both
managing and otherwise) and Representatives (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all actions, suits, investigations, losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including in connection with
seeking indemnification, whether joint or several (the “Liabilities”), related to, arising out of or in connection with the Transactions, the Services or other services contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of BMP
pursuant to, and the performance by BMP of the Services or other services contemplated by, this Agreement, whether or not pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party, whether or not resulting in any liability and whether or
not such action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company. The Company will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any
other litigation-related expenses) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, defending or assisting in the defense of any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding for which the

 
Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of the previous sentence, or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party
thereto. The Company agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters
contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability, without
future obligation or prohibition on the part of the Indemnified Party, arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding, and does not contain an admission of guilt or liability on the part of the Indemnified Party. The Company will
not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision with respect to any particular loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense of an Indemnified Party that is determined by a court, in a final judgment from which no further appeal may be
taken, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. The attorneys’ fees and other expenses of an Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred upon receipt, in each
case, of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay such amounts if it is finally judicially determined that the Liabilities in question resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

 The rights of an Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights and remedies any such
person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which each Indemnified Party is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under any law or regulation. 

SECTION 7. Accuracy of Information. The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to BMP such information as BMP believes
reasonably appropriate to rendering the Services and other services contemplated by this Agreement and to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other legal requirements relating to the beneficial ownership by BMP or its affiliates
and their respective members, officers and employees of equity securities of the Company (all such information so furnished, the “Information”). The Company recognizes and confirms that BMP (a) will use and rely
primarily on the Information and on information available from generally recognized public sources in performing the Services and other services contemplated by this Agreement without having independently verified the same, (b) does not assume
responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information and such other information and (c) is entitled to rely upon the Information without independent verification. 

SECTION 8. Term. This Agreement will become effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (except as
otherwise provided herein) will continue until the “Termination Date,” which is the earlier of (i) the twelfth anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) such earlier date as the Company and BMP may mutually agree upon
in writing; provided, that (x) the occurrence of the Termination Date will not affect the obligations of the Company to pay, or cause to be paid, any amounts accrued but not yet paid as of such date, (y) Section 5 hereof will
remain in effect after the Termination Date with respect to Out-of-Pocket Expenses that were incurred prior to or within a reasonable period of time after the Termination Date, but which have not been paid to BMP or its affiliates in accordance with
Section 5 hereof, and (z) the provisions of Sections 4(e), 4(g), 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof will survive after the Termination Date. The Management Fee will accrue and be payable with respect to the entire fiscal year of the Company in which
the Termination Date occurs. 
 SECTION 9. Disclaimer, Opportunities, Release and Limitation of Liability. 

(a) Disclaimer; Standard of Care. BMP makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, in respect of the Services to be
provided hereunder. In no event shall BMP or any Indemnified Party be liable to the Company or any of its affiliates for any act, 

 
alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of BMP as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 (b) Freedom to Pursue Opportunities. In recognition that BMP and its affiliates currently have, and will
in the future have or will consider acquiring, investments in numerous companies with respect to which BMP or its affiliates may serve as an advisor, a director or in some other capacity, in recognition that BMP and its affiliates have myriad duties
to various investors and partners, in anticipation that the Company, on the one hand, and BMP (or one or more affiliates, associated investment funds or portfolio companies), on the other hand, may engage in the same or similar activities or lines
of business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Company hereunder, and in recognition of the difficulties which may confront any advisor who desires and endeavors
fully to satisfy such advisor’s duties in determining the full scope of such duties in any particular situation, the provisions of this Section 9(b) are set forth to regulate, define and guide the conduct of certain affairs of the Company
as they may involve BMP. Except as BMP may otherwise agree in writing after the date hereof: 
 (i) BMP and its
affiliates (including one or more associated investments funds or portfolio companies) shall have the right: (A) to directly or indirectly engage in any business (including, without limitation, any business activities or lines of business that
are the same as or similar to those pursued by, or competitive with, the Company and its subsidiaries); (B) to directly or indirectly do business with any client or customer of the Company and its subsidiaries; (C) to take any other action
that BMP believes in good faith is necessary to or appropriate to fulfill its obligations as described in the first sentence of this Section 9(b); and (D) not to present potential transactions, matters or business opportunities to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, and to pursue, directly or indirectly, any such opportunity for themselves, and to direct any such opportunity to another person. 

(ii) BMP and its affiliates shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present any corporate
opportunities to the Company or any of its affiliates or to refrain from any actions specified in Section 9(b)(i) hereof, and the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives any right to require BMP or
any of its affiliates to act in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 9(b). 
 (iii)
Neither BMP nor any of its affiliates shall be liable to the Company or any of its affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of any activities or omissions of the types referred to in this Section 9(b) or of any
such person’s participation therein. 
 (c) Release. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and
forever discharges BMP and its affiliates and their respective partners (both general and limited), members (both managing and otherwise), and Representatives from any and all liabilities, claims and causes of action related to or arising out of or
in connection with the Transactions, the Services or other services contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of BMP pursuant to, and the performance by BMP of the Services or other services contemplated by, this Agreement that the Company
may have suffered or incurred, or may claim to have suffered or incurred, on or after the date hereof, except with respect to any act or omission that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable
determination of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

 (d) Limitation of Liability. In no event will BMP or any Indemnified Party be liable
to the Company or any of its affiliates (i) for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits or savings, whether or not such damages are foreseeable, or for any third-party claims
(whether based in contract, tort or otherwise), related to or arising out of or in connection with the Transactions, the Services or other services contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of BMP pursuant to, and the performance by BMP of
the Services or other services contemplated by, this Agreement that the Company may have suffered or incurred, or may claim to have suffered or incurred, on or after the date hereof, except with respect to any act or omission that constitutes gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) for an amount in excess of the fees actually received by BMP hereunder. 

SECTION 10. Miscellaneous. 

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any party hereto from any such provision,
will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto. Any amendment, waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The waiver by any party of any breach
of this Agreement will not operate as or be construed to be a waiver by such party of any subsequent breach.
