 (a) The Company and the Guarantors shall: 
  

 3 

 (i) by the Exchange Date, cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to
Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities held by Holders who have timely provided the information required
pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; and 
 (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to
be declared effective by the Commission on or before the 120th day after the later of the date the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and the Exchange Date (or if such 120th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the
“Effectiveness Target Date”, and the date of such effectiveness, the “Effectiveness Date”). 
 Each of the Company and
the Guarantors shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 5(a) and (b) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that
it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, 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 such time as all the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been resold pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement (the “Effectiveness Period”); provided that the Company may, from time to time, for a period of up to an aggregate of 45 days in any calendar year determine that the Shelf Registration Statement is not usable for a valid business
purpose (a “Blackout Period”). 
 (b) 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 Company in writing, within 10 days after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Company may reasonably request to
be included in the Notice and Questionnaire 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 Company any updates to the Notice and Questionnaire or additional information as the Company may reasonably request. 
 (c) Each Holder represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, 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 Company represents that any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus used by the Company, 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. 
 (d) If the Shelf Registration Statement
ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (except during a Blackout Period or other than because all 

  

 4 

 
Transfer Restricted Securities registered thereunder shall have been resold pursuant thereto), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain
the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending effectiveness thereof or promptly file or designate a subsequent Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the Securities that as of the date of such filing or designation are Transfer Restricted
Securities. If such a subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed or designated (and is not already effective), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as
promptly as is practicable after such filing or designation and to keep such subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the end of the Effectiveness Period. 
 (e) The Company shall supplement and amend the Shelf Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period as and if required by the rules, regulations
or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (f) The Company shall cause
the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of the date
thereof, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
 (g) Each Holder agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related
Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4. Additional Interest. If
(i) prior to or on the Exchange Date, the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed, or on file, with the Commission, (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective by the Effectiveness Target Date, (iii) except during
a Blackout Period, the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter, during the Effectiveness Period, cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose as to then Transfer Restricted Securities
(provided, however, that any Holder that has not timely provided the information required in Section 3(b) shall not be entitled to receive Additional Interest (as defined below) for a Registration Default under this Section 4(iii)), or
(iv) Blackout Periods exceed an aggregate of 45 days in any calendar year (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay interest (“Additional
Interest”) with respect to the Convertible Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities from and including the day of the Registration Default to but excluding the earliest of (1) the day on which the Registration Default has been cured
and (2) the last day of the Effectiveness Period, to each Holder of Convertible Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities, (x) with respect to the first 45-day period during which a Registration Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, (y) with respect to the period commencing on the 46th day and ending on the 90th day following the day the Registration Default shall have

  

 5 

 
occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.75% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, and (z) with respect to the period
commencing on the 91st day following the day the Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 1.00% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes; provided that in no event shall Additional
Interest accrue at a rate per year exceeding 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes; 
 All accrued Additional
Interest obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive
until all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the
amount of Additional Interest payable shall not increase because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is continuing on a simultaneous basis and (ii) a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities who is not entitled to the benefits
of the Shelf Registration Statement shall not be entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default that pertains to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 The Additional Interest set forth above shall be the exclusive monetary remedy available to Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities for each Registration Default. 
 SECTION 5. Registration Procedures. 
 (a) If required pursuant to Section 3 hereof, in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 5(b) hereof and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to effect such registration to permit the resale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto each of the Company and the Guarantors
will prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf 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 in accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 3. 
 (b)
General Provisions. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall: 
 (i) except during a Blackout Period or the existence of any fact or event of the kind described in Section 5(b)(iii)(D), use its
reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective during the Effectiveness Period; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein
(A) to contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the Effectiveness Period, the Company and the Guarantors shall file promptly an appropriate
amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement, a supplement to the related Prospectus 

  

 6 

 
or file any other required document, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or
(B), use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter; 
 (ii) except during a Blackout Period, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Shelf
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period; 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 in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act to enable the disposition of all
Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth or to be set forth in the Shelf
Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 
 (iii) advise the Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are
included in the Shelf Registration Statement promptly and, if requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to
the Shelf 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 Shelf 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 Shelf 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, (D) except during a Blackout Period, of the existence of any
fact or the happening of any event during the Effectiveness Period that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Shelf 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 Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that the Company shall not be required to provide
confidential information to Persons who have not signed a confidentiality agreement. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf 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 Company and the Guarantors shall use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time; 
  

 7 

 (iv) make available at reasonable times for inspection, upon written request, at the
offices where normally kept, by one or more representatives of the Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement, designated in writing by a Majority of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are
included in the Shelf Registration Statement, and one counsel retained by such selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of each of the Company and the Guarantors and cause the Company’s and
the Guarantors’ officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent
to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness; provided, that if any such information is reasonably identified by the Company or any Guarantor as being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such information shall take such
actions as are necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information, and shall sign confidentiality agreements requested by the Company or any Guarantor prior to the receipt of such information; 
 (v) if requested by any Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement, promptly
incorporate in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without
limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities; 
 (vi)
furnish to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (excluding exhibits incorporated therein by reference); 
 (vii) deliver to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, as
many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; except during a Blackout Period or the existence of any fact or event of the kind described in
Section 5(b)(iii)(B) through (D), each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and the sale of such
Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
 (viii) prior
to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement and their one counsel representing all such Holders in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as such Holders may reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable
to enable the 

  

 8 

 
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that none of
the Company 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 in any jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject; 
 (ix) cooperate with the Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the
Shelf Registration Statement 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 (subject to the applicable requirements contained in the applicable Indenture) and registered in such names as the Holders may reasonably request at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made
by such Holders; 
 (x) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement to
consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in Section 5(b)(viii) hereof, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such Holder’s (whose Transfer Restricted
Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement) business, in which case the Company and the Guarantors will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals;

 (xi) except during a Blackout Period, if any fact or event contemplated by Section 5(b)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or
have occurred, promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Shelf 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 in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; 
 (xii) during the Effectiveness Period, otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in a Shelf Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings
statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited) for the twelve-month period beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement;

 (xiii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than
the effective date of the Shelf Registration 

  

 9 

 
Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders of the Convertible 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 use commercially reasonable 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; 
 (xiv) cause the Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be listed or quoted, as the case may be, on each securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed or quoted; and 
 (xv) during
the Effectiveness Period, provide promptly to each Holder upon written request each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Shelf
Registration Statement, unless such document is available through the Commission’s EDGAR and/or IDEA system. 
 Each Holder agrees by
acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 5(b)(iii)(D) hereof or of a Blackout Period, 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 5(b)(xi) hereof, or
until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company 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 Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’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 Company shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 hereof 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 5(b)(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 5(b)(xi) hereof or shall have received the Advice; provided, however, that no such extension shall be taken into account in determining whether Additional Interest is due
pursuant to Section 4 hereof or the amount of such Additional Interest, it being agreed that the Company’s option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes
of Section 4 hereof, subject to the right to invoke Blackout Periods. 
 Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted
Security, that no Holder shall be entitled to sell any of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless such Holder has furnished the Company with a Notice and
Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof (including the information 

  

 10 

 
required to be included in such Notice and Questionnaire) and the information set forth in the next sentence. The Company may require each Notice Holder of
Convertible Notes to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Convertible Notes as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for
inclusion in such Registration Statement. Each Notice Holder agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Notice Holder not misleading
and any other information regarding such Notice Holder and the distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. The Company may exclude from such Shelf Registration Statement the
Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request and such Securities shall no longer be entitled to the benefits hereunder. 
 SECTION 6. Registration Expenses. 
 (a) All reasonable expenses incident to the Company’s and the Guarantor’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, regardless of whether a Shelf
Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue sky laws;
(iii) all expenses of printing (including printing of Prospectuses and certificates for the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes); and (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the
Company, the Guarantors and, subject to Section 6(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities. 
 (b) The Company and the
Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Subscribers 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 as may be chosen by the Majority of Holders in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared. 
 SECTION 7. Indemnification. 
 (a) The
Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement 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) such 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 such 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 

  

 11 

 
expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any preliminary prospectus 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 a Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.

 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 Company or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Company
and the Guarantors in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any of the Company or the Guarantors from any liability under the preceding paragraph unless and to the extent such failure results in
the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses or other material harm or prejudice to such indemnifying party and shall not, in any event, relieve the Company or the Guarantors from any obligations to any Holder other
than the indemnification obligation provided in the preceding paragraph. 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 Company and the Guarantors if the Indemnified Holder is entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Company 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 reasonable 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 Majority of Holders. The Company and the Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected with the Company’s and the Guarantors’
prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of the Company 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 Company and the Guarantors. The Company 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 agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and their
respective directors, officers of the Company and the Guarantors who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person 

  

 12 

 
controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company 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 Company 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 a Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or Prospectus (or any amendments or supplements
thereto). In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company, the Guarantors 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 Company and the Guarantors, and the Company, the Guarantors, 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 7 is unavailable to an indemnified
party under Section 7(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 Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Company 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
Company 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 Company 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 7(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 Company, the Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(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. No Person guilty of 

  

 13 

 
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 7(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 8. Representations and Warranties and Covenants of the Subscribers. 
 (a) Each of the Subscribers severally and not jointly represents, warrants and agrees that as of the Closing Date, it is not an Affiliate of the Company
except as otherwise permitted under the Indenture. 
 (b) Each of the Subscribers severally and not jointly covenants and agrees with the
Company that it will not take any action that would result in such Subscriber becoming an Affiliate of the Company during the Effectiveness Period. 
 SECTION 9. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Notwithstanding the fact that the Holder may have requested and the Company and the trustee
under the Indenture may have caused the removal of the restrictive legends relating to the Securities Act from the Securities, if the conditions of Rule 144(c)(1) are still applicable to the Securities and those conditions have not been satisfied,
each Holder acknowledges that it hereby will be prohibited from selling or otherwise transferring the Securities pursuant to Rule 144 until such time as the conditions of Rule 144(c)(1) have been satisfied or a period of one year has elapsed since
the later of the Closing Date or a date as of which the Securities were held by an Affiliate of the Company. The Company will provide the Holders with prompt notice of (i) any circumstance that would cause the Securities to become so restricted
and (ii) when the prohibition provided herein has elapsed and the Securities may be sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144. 
 (b)
No Inconsistent Agreements. During the Effectiveness Period, each of the Company 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 violates the provisions hereof. 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 Company’s
or any of the Guarantors’ other issued and outstanding securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
 (c) 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 Company has (i) in the case of Section 4
hereof and this Section 9(c)(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 a Majority of Holders of the
outstanding principal amount of Convertible Notes that 

  

 14 

 
are Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates). 
 (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail

 Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be concurrently
delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee at the address specified in the Indenture. 
 (e) Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including, without limitation, and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities;
provided, however, that this Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of or be binding upon a successor or assign of a Holder (i) if such assignment, transfer or other disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities is in violation of the
terms of the Indenture, or (ii) unless and to the extent such successor or assign acquired Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder. If any successor or assign of any Holder shall acquire Transfer Restricted Securities, in any manner,
whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Transfer Restricted Securities shall be 

  

 15 

 
held subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Securities, such Person shall be
conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 (f) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. 
 (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof. 
 (h) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THEREOF. 
 (i) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained
herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

 4.3. Buyer understands that (i) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other securities law, (ii) the
Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the

effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable laws. 
 4.4. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in
the Company pursuant to this Agreement, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time and is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities

 4.5. Buyer has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and receive answers from the Company and to obtain such
additional information as Buyer deems

 5.3. This Agreement and all the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, duties or obligations hereunder may be assigned by

 5.5. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving
effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. 
 5.6. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronic means and in
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 5.7. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provisions, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver, amendment or
modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the party against which an enforcement of the same is sought.
