Closing Date on an appropriate form under the 1933 Act with respect to a proposed Exchange Offer and the issuance and delivery to the Holders, in exchange for the Registrable Securities, of a like principal amount of Exchange Securities,
(b) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the 1933 Act within 270 days of the Closing Date, (c) use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective until the closing of the Exchange Offer, (d) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer, if it has been commenced, to be consummated not later than 300 days following
the Closing Date and (e) for a period of 90 days following the consummation of the Exchange Offer (or such shorter period of time during which the Participating Broker-Dealers are required by law to deliver a prospectus), to make available
a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act to any Participating Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities acquired in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Securities will be issued under the Indenture.
Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Issuer shall, as soon as practicable, commence the Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Exchange Offer to enable each Holder eligible and electing to exchange
Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder (i) is not an affiliate of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, (ii) is not a broker-dealer tendering Registrable Securities acquired
directly from the Issuer for its own account, (iii) acquired the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and (iv) has no arrangements or understandings with any Person to participate in the Exchange Offer
for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy from participating in the Exchange Offer) to transfer such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions
under the 1933 Act and under state securities or blue sky laws. 
  

 4 

 In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall: 
  

	 	(a)	mail as promptly as practicable to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter
of transmittal and related documents, provided that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall only be required to mail such Prospectus to Holders of which they are aware after due inquiry; 

  

	 	(b)	keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for a period of not less than 20 business days (as defined in Rule 13e-4 of the 1934 Act) after the date notice thereof is
mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by applicable law) (such period referred to herein as the Exchange Period); 

  

	 	(c)	utilize the services of the Depositary for the Exchange Offer; 

  

	 	(d)	permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York City time, on the last business day of the Exchange
Period, by sending to the institution specified in the notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange, and a statement that
such Holder is withdrawing such Holder’s election to have such Registrable Securities exchanged; 

  

	 	(e)	notify each Holder that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest, but will not retain any rights under this
Agreement (except in the case of the Initial Purchasers and Participating Broker-Dealers as provided herein); and 

  

	 	(f)	otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws relating to the Exchange Offer. 

 The Exchange Securities shall be issued under (a) the Indenture or (b) an indenture identical in all material respects to the
Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA, or is exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the Exchange Securities shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture or
such indenture shall provide that the Securities of any series and the equivalent Exchange Securities of such series shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities of any series or the equivalent or the
Exchange Securities of such series will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter other than those matters which may affect only that particular series of Securities or the equivalent Exchange Securities of such series.

 As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer, the Issuer shall: 
  

	 	(i)	accept for exchange all Registrable Securities duly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and the letter of transmittal which shall be an exhibit thereto; 

  

	 	(ii)	deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 cause the Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver Exchange Securities to each Holder of Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange in a
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange. Interest on each Exchange Security will accrue from the last date on which interest was paid on the Registrable Securities
surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Registrable Securities, from the date of original issuance. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than (A) that the Exchange Offer, or the
making of

  

 5 

	 	 
any exchange by a Holder, does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, (B) the valid tendering of Registrable Securities in accordance with the
Exchange Offer, (C) that each Holder of Registrable Securities exchanged in the Exchange Offer shall have represented that (i) all Exchange Securities to be received by it shall be acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that
at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer it shall have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) of the Securities or Exchange Securities, (ii) it is not
prohibited by any law or policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (iii) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of Exchange Securities (iv) if such Holder
is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and it will be required to acknowledge
that it will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of Exchange Securities and (v) it shall have made such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to render the
use of Form F-4 or other appropriate form under the 1933 Act available, (E) that no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the Exchange Offer which, in
the Issuer’s judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Issuer to proceed with the Exchange Offer and (F) that the Exchange Offer will be made to all Holders other than to any Holder of the European Economic Area
to whom the Exchange Offer cannot be made without requiring the production of a prospectus for the purposes of the Directive 2003/71/EC (which may be certified or validated by way of representations from Holders of Registrable Securities). The
Issuer shall inform the Initial Purchasers of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the
tender of Registrable Securities in the Exchange Offer. 

 Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in
accordance with this Agreement, the Issuer and Guarantors shall have no further obligation to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to Clause 2.2 of this Agreement. 
  

	2.2	Shelf Registration 

 (a)
If, because of any changes in law, SEC rules or regulations or applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the SEC, the Issuer determines after consultation with its outside counsel that it is not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer as
contemplated by Clause 2.1 hereof, (b) if for any other reason the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 300 days of the Closing Date, (c) upon the written request of any Initial Purchaser holding Registrable Securities that are not
eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer and held by it following the consummation of the Exchange Offer or (d) upon notice of any Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) given to the Issuer in writing during the
Exchange Period that (A) due to a change in law or SEC policy it is not entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer, (B) due to a change in law or SEC policy it may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer
to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Registrable Securities
acquired directly from the Issuer or an affiliate of the Issuer, then in case of each of paragraphs (a) through (d) the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, at their expense: 
  

	 	(a)	 As promptly as practicable and within 30 days from the date on which any of the conditions described in the foregoing clauses (a) - (d) occur,
including in the cases if clauses (c) and (d) the receipt of notice (each a Trigger Event) (but in no case earlier than 210 days following the Closing Date), use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, and thereafter

  

 6 

	 	 
shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 90 days after the Trigger Event (but in no case earlier than
270 days following the Closing Date), a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Majority Holders
participating in the Shelf Registration and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement. 

  

	 	(b)	Use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be
usable by Holders for a period of one year from the Trigger Event, or for such shorter period that will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
or cease to be outstanding or otherwise to be Registrable Securities (the Effectiveness Period); provided, however, that the Effectiveness Period in respect of the Shelf Registration Statement shall be extended up to a maximum of 90 days if
necessary to permit dealers to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the 1933 Act and as otherwise provided herein. 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto and any Prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not,
when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any
Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented from time to time), does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

 The Issuer and the Guarantors agree
(i) not to permit any securities other than Registrable Securities to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement and (ii), if necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, as required by Clause 3(b) below, and to
furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly as reasonably practicable after its being used or filed with the SEC. 
  

	2.3	Expenses 

 The Issuer and
the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Clause 2.1 or 2.2. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of
such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  

	2.4	Effectiveness. 

  

	(a)	 The Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed not to have used their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite period if the Issuer or any Guarantor voluntarily takes any action that would, or omits to take any action which omission
would result in (i) any such Registration Statement not being declared effective or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such Registrable Securities during that period as
and to the extent contemplated hereby, unless (i) such action is required by applicable law, or (ii) such action is taken in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder), including

  

 7 

	 	 
the acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as the Issuer and the Guarantors promptly thereafter comply with the requirements of Clause 3(k) hereof, if applicable.

  

	(b)	An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Clause 2.1 hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Clause 2.2 hereof will not be deemed to have become
effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration
Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to be effective during the period of such interference,
until the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume. 

  

	2.5	Interest 

 In the event
that either (a) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the 210th calendar day following the Closing Date, (b) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on
or prior to the 270th calendar day following the Closing Date, (c) the Exchange Offer is not consummated , on or prior to the 300th calendar day following the Closing Date, or (d) a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective
within the time period specified in Section 2.2(a) (each such event referred to in paragraphs (a) through (d) above, a Registration Default), the interest rate borne by the Securities shall be increased (Additional
Interest) by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default, which rate will increase by one quarter of one percent (0.25%) with respect to each
subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof) that such Additional Interest continues to accrue under any such circumstance, provided that the maximum aggregate increase in the interest rate will in no event exceed one percent (1%) per annum;
provided, however, that no Additional Interest shall be payable if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed or declared effective or the Exchange Offer is not consummated on account of the reasons set forth in paragraph (a) of the
first paragraph of Clause 2.2 (it being understood, however, that in any such case the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement and Additional Interest shall be payable if the Shelf Registration
Statement is not declared effective in accordance with paragraph (b)), that no Additional Interest shall be payable if the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective as set forth above because the request under paragraph (c) of the
first paragraph of Clause 2.2 or notice under paragraph (d) of the first paragraph of Clause 2.2 was not made on a timely basis; and provided, further, that Additional Interest shall only be payable in case the Shelf Registration Statement is
not declared effective as aforesaid. 
 Immediately following the cure of a Registration Default, the accrual of Additional
Interest with respect to that particular Registration Default will cease. 
 If the Shelf Registration Statement is declared
effective but becomes unusable by the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (Shelf Registrable Securities) for any reason, and the aggregate number of days in any consecutive 12-month period for which
the Shelf Registration Statement shall not be usable exceeds 30 days in the aggregate, then the interest rate borne by the Shelf Registrable Securities will be increased by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the principal amount of the
Securities for the first 30-day period (or portion thereof) beginning on the 31st such day that such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be usable, which rate shall be increased by an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the
principal amount of the Securities at the beginning of each subsequent 30-day period; provided that the maximum aggregate increase in the interest rate as a result of a Shelf Registration Statement being unusable (inclusive of any interest that
accrues on such Shelf Registrable Securities pursuant to the first paragraph of this Clause 2.5) will in no event exceed one percent (1%) per annum. Upon the Shelf Registration Statement once again becoming usable, the interest rate borne by
the Shelf

  

 8 

 
Registrable Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate. Additional Interest shall be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed in each 30-day period in which the Shelf
Registration Statement is unusable. 
 The Issuer shall notify the Trustee within five Business Days after each and every date on
which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an Event Date). Additional Interest shall be paid by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Registrable Securities
entitled to receive the interest payment, on or before the applicable semiannual interest payment date, immediately available funds in sums sufficient to pay the Additional Interest then due. The Additional Interest due shall be payable on each
interest payment date to the record Holder of Registrable Securities entitled to receive the interest payment to be paid on such date as set forth in the Indenture. Each obligation to pay Additional Interest shall be deemed to accrue from and
including the day following the applicable Event Date. 
  

	3.	REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Statement is declared effective by the SEC, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Clause 3(d), (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject, or (iii) conform its capitalization or the
composition of its assets at the time to the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction; 

  

	 	(e)	notify promptly each Holder of Registrable Securities under a Shelf Registration or any Participating Broker-Dealer who has notified the Issuer that it is utilizing the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement as provided in paragraph (f) below and, if requested by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, confirm such advice in writing promptly (i) when a Registration Statement has become effective and
when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective, provided that this Clause (i) shall not apply with respect to regular fillings of documents or reports under the 1934 Act, at any time following the effectiveness of
such Registration Statement, where such filling is made as part of the Issuer’s or Guarantors’ ordinary-course periodic disclosure obligations under Section 13 or 15 of the 1934 Act, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state
securities authority for post-effective amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state
securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) in the case of a Shelf Registration, if, between the effective date of a Registration
Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Issuer contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to the
offering cease to be true and correct in all material respects, (v) of the happening of any event or the discovery of any facts during the period a Registration Statement is effective which makes any statement made in such Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (vi) of the receipt by the
Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose and (vii) of any determination by the Issuer that a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement would be appropriate; 

  

	 	(f)	 in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (i) include in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of
Distribution” which section shall be reasonably acceptable to JP Morgan, BAML and Deutsche Bank on behalf of the Participating Broker-Dealers, and which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of
the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that holds Registrable Securities acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that will be the
beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Securities to be received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer, whether such positions or policies

  

 10 

	 	 
have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of JP Morgan, BAML and Deutsche Bank on behalf of the Participating
Broker-Dealers and its counsel, represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC, including a statement that any such broker-dealer who receives Exchange Securities for Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be deemed a
statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities, (ii) furnish to each Participating Broker-Dealer who has delivered to the Issuer the notice
referred to in Clause 3(e), without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as such Participating Broker-Dealer
may reasonably request, (iii) hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, by any Person subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
SEC, including all Participating Broker-Dealers, in connection with the sale or transfer of the Exchange Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (iv) include in the transmittal letter or similar
documentation to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to participate in the Exchange Offer (x) the following provision: 

 “If the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding Registrable Securities acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of Exchange Securities received in respect of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer”; 
 and (y) a statement to the effect that by a broker-dealer making the acknowledgment described in paragraph (x) and by delivering a
Prospectus in connection with the exchange of Registrable Securities, the broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act; and (v) deliver to JP Morgan, BAML and Deutsche Bank on behalf of
the Participating Broker-Dealers upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement officers’ certificates substantially in the form customarily delivered in a public offering of debt securities and a comfort letter or comfort
letters in customary form to the extent permitted by SAS 72 (or if such a comfort letter is not permitted by SAS 72, an agreed upon procedures letter in customary form) from the Issuer’s independent certified public accountants (and, if
necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Issuer or of any business acquired by the Issuer for which financial statements are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement) at least as
broad in scope and coverage as the comfort letter or comfort letters delivered to the Initial Purchasers in connection with the initial sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers; 
  

	 	(g)	(i) in the case of an Exchange Offer, furnish counsel for the Initial Purchasers and (ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish Special Counsel copies of
comment letters received from the SEC or any other request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments or supplements to the applicable Registration Statement or for additional information; 

  

	 	(h)	make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment;

  

	 	(i)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities, and each underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each

 11 

	 	(j)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, co-operate with the selling Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Shelf Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Shelf Registrable Securities to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) and registered in
such names as the selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, may reasonably request at least three Business Days prior to the closing of any sale of Shelf Registrable Shelf Securities; 

  

	 	(k)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any facts, each as contemplated by Clauses 3(e)(v), 3(e)(vi) and 3(e)(vii)
hereof, as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shelf Registrable Securities or Participating Broker-Dealers, such Prospectus will not contain at the time of such
delivery any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. At such time as such public disclosure is otherwise
made or the Issuer determines that such disclosure is not necessary, in each case to correct any misstatement of a material fact or to include any omitted material fact, the Issuer agrees promptly to notify each Holder of such determination and to
furnish each Holder with such number of copies of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, as such Holder may reasonably request and the Initial Purchasers, on their own behalf and on behalf of subsequent Holders, hereby agree to suspend use of
the Prospectus until the Issuer has amended or supplemented to correct such misstatement or omission; 

  

	 	(l)	obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Shelf Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement
applicable to such securities, and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for the Exchange Securities, or the Registrable Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with the Depositary; 

  

	 	(m)	(i) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA in connection with the registration of the Exchange Securities or Shelf Registrable Securities, as the case may
be, (ii) co-operate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA and (iii) execute, and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

  

	 	(n)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into customary agreements (including underwriting agreements) and take all other customary and appropriate actions in order
to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Shelf Registrable Securities and in such connection whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an underwritten registration:

  

	 	(i)	make such representations and warranties to the Holders of such Shelf Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are
customarily made by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten offerings as may be reasonably requested by them; 

  

 12 

	 	(ii)	obtain opinions of United States and local counsel to the Issuer and the Guarantors and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Shelf Registrable Securities being sold and their respective counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if
any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters with such customary exceptions and qualifications as contained in
the opinions delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; 

  

	 	(iii)	obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Parent Guarantor’s independent certified public accountants (and, if necessary, any other
independent certified public accountants of any material subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or of any business directly or indirectly acquired by the Parent Guarantor for which financial statements are, or are required to be, included in the
Registration Statement) addressed to each selling Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities (to the extent permitted by applicable professional standards) and the underwriters, if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the
type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters to underwriters in connection with similar underwritten offerings, such letters to be agreed upon by the selling Holders and underwriters and such accountants, such agreement not to be
unreasonably withheld; 

  

	 	(iv)	if so requested by the Majority Holders, enter into a securities sales agreement with the Holders and an agent of the Holders providing for, among other things, the
appointment of such agent for the selling Holders for the purpose of soliciting purchases of Shelf Registrable Securities, which agreement shall be in form, substance and scope customary for similar offerings; 

  

	 	(v)	if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to set forth indemnification provisions and procedures substantially equivalent to the indemnification
provisions and procedures set forth in Clause 4 hereof with respect to the underwriters and all other parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section or, at the request of any underwriters, in the form customarily provided to such underwriters in
similar types of transactions; provided that such underwriting agreement shall contain customary provisions regarding indemnification of the Issuer with respect to information provided by the underwriter; and 

  

	 	(vi)	deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested and as are customarily delivered in similar offerings to the Majority Holders of the Shelf
Registrable Securities being sold and the managing underwriters, if any. 

 The above shall be done at (A) the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement (and each post-effective amendment thereto) and (B) each closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder; 
  

	 	(o)	 in the case of a Shelf Registration or if a Prospectus is required to be delivered by any Participating Broker-Dealer in the case of an Exchange Offer,
for a reasonable period of time preceding the filing of the applicable Registration Statement and prior to the execution of any applicable underwriting agreement, make available for inspection by representatives of the Holders of the Shelf
Registrable Securities who are selected by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Shelf Registrable Securities, any underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, any Participating
Broker-Dealer, any Special Counsel or any accountant retained by any of the foregoing, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Issuer and the

  

 13 

	 	 
Guarantors reasonably requested by any such persons, and cause the respective officers, directors, employees, and any other agents of the Issuer and the Guarantors to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, Special Counsel or accountant in connection with a Registration Statement, and make such representatives of the Issuer and the Guarantors available for discussion of such documents as
shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers, provided, however that such records, documents or information which the Issuer identify as being confidential shall not be disclosed by the representative, Holder, attorney or accountant
unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement; (ii) the release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to
a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or as part of the evidentiary procedures of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) such records, documents or information have previously been generally made available to the
public, and the Issuer shall be entitled to require that such persons sign a confidentiality agreement to that effect; 

  

	 	(p)	in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, any Prospectus forming a
part thereof, any amendment to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers and to their counsel and make such changes in any such document prior to
the filing thereof as the Initial Purchasers or such counsel may reasonably request and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, not file any such document in a form to which the Initial Purchasers and their counsel shall not have previously
been advised and furnished a copy of or to which the Initial Purchasers or their counsel shall reasonably object, and make the representatives of the Issuer available for discussion of such documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial
Purchasers; 

  

	 	(q)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, a reasonable time prior to filing any Shelf Registration Statement, any Prospectus forming a part thereof, any amendment to such
Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities, to the Initial Purchasers, to Special Counsel and to the underwriter or underwriters of an
underwritten offering of Shelf Registrable Securities, if any, make such changes in any such document prior to the filing thereof as the Initial Purchasers, Special Counsel or the underwriter or underwriters reasonably request and not file any such
document in a form to which the Majority Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities, the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities, Special Counsel or any underwriter shall not have previously been advised and furnished a
copy of or to which such Majority Holders, the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities, Special Counsel or any underwriter shall reasonably object, and make the representatives of the Issuer available for discussion of
such document as shall be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders of Registrable Securities, the Initial Purchasers on behalf of Holders of Registrable Securities, Special Counsel or any underwriter; 

  

	 	(r)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Exchange Securities and Shelf Registrable Securities to be listed on any
securities exchange on which similar debt securities issued by the Issuer are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders or if requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any, which
request shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Majority Holders or underwriters, as applicable, be for purposes of facilitating the sale or resale of the Exchange Securities or Shelf Registrable Securities; 

  

 14 

	 	(s)	in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registrable Securities to be rated by the same nationally recognized
statistical rating agencies rating the Registrable Securities, if so requested by the Majority Holders, or if requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any; 

  

	 	(t)	otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings
statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 

  

	 	(u)	co-operate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and, in the case of a Shelf Registration, in the performance of any due diligence investigation by
any underwriter and its counsel (including any “qualified independent underwriter” that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of FINRA); and 

  

	 	(v)	upon consummation of an Exchange Offer, obtain customary opinions of counsel to the Issuer and the Guarantors addressed to the Trustee, if so required by the Trustee,
which includes opinions that (i) the Issuer and the Guarantors have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Exchange Securities, as applicable, and the related indenture and guarantees, and (ii) each of the Exchange Securities and
guarantees and related indenture constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with its respective terms (with customary exceptions).

 In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer may (as a condition to such Holder’s
participation in the Shelf Registration) require each Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to furnish to the Issuer such information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Shelf Registrable Securities as the
Issuer may from time to time reasonably request in writing for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, including without limitation, information specified in Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the
1933 Act and the Issuer may exclude from such registration the Shelf Registrable Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 
 In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer of the happening of any
event or the discovery of any facts, each of the kind described in Clause 3(e)(v)-(vii) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt
of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Clause 3(k) hereof, and, if so directed by the Issuer, such Holder will deliver to the Issuer (at its expense) all copies in such Holder’s possession, other than permanent
file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Shelf Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 Without prejudice to the obligation in Clause 2.5 to pay additional interest relating to periods when the Shelf Registration Statement is not available, during any 365-day period, the Issuer, upon notice
to the Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, may suspend the availability of such Registration Statement for up to two periods of up to 45 consecutive days (except for the consecutive 45-day period
immediately prior to the maturity of the Securities), but not more than an aggregate of 60 days during any 365-day period, if the Issuer’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that there is a valid purpose for the suspension. 

If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the
underwriter or underwriters and manager or managers that will manage

  

 15 

 
such offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of such Registrable Securities included in such offering, provided such selection is acceptable to the Issuer. No Holder of Registrable
Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled
hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
  

	4.	INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION 

  

	4.1	The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers, each Holder, each Participating Broker-Dealer, each Person who participates
as an underwriter in an offering of Shelf Registrable Securities (any such Person being an Underwriter), each of their respective directors, officers and affiliates and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder or Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Securities or Shelf Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or
the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the 1933 Act or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

  

	 	(b)	against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Clause 4.3 below)
any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; and 

  

	 	(c)	against any and all expense, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party as provided therein), reasonably incurred in
investigating or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (a) or (c) above; 

 provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by the Holder or Underwriter expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free Writing
Prospectus. 
 The indemnity provided for in this Clause 4 will be in addition to any liability that the Issuer or the Guarantors
may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. 
  

 16 

	4.2	Each Holder severally, but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers, each Underwriter and the other
selling Holders, and each of their respective directors, officers and affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer, the Initial Purchasers, any Underwriter or any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Clause 4.1 hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue
statements or omissions, made in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Issuer by such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto or any Free Writing Prospectus) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

  

	4.3	 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Clause 4 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification under this Clause 4, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Clause 4, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but
the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (a) will not relieve it from any liability under Clause 4.1 or 4.2 above unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and
defenses and (b) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Clause 4.1 or 4.2 above. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with
a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to
it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Clause
4 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in
accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local
counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Initial Purchasers, Holders or Underwriters in the case of Clause 4.1
or the Issuer or Guarantors in the case of Clause 4.2, representing the indemnified parties under such clause, who are parties to such action or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the
indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this

  

 17 

	 	 
Clause 4.3 shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses
of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such indemnified party waived in writing its rights under this
Clause 4, in which case the indemnified party may effect such a settlement without such consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by any indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the
indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

  

	4.4	If the indemnification provided for in this Clause 4 is for any reason unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified party (other than by reason of the first sentence of
Clause 4.3) in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such
indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Issuer on the one hand and the Holders and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 

 The relative fault of the Issuer on the one hand and the Holders and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer, the Holders or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 The Issuer, the Holders and the Initial Purchasers agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Clause 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers 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 above in this Clause 4. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Clause 4 shall be
deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 4, in no event shall any Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased and sold by it pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 For purposes of this Clause 4, each
Person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser or Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees and affiliates shall have the
same rights to contribution as such

  

 18 

 
Initial Purchaser or Holder, and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each of the
Issuer’s directors, officers, agents, employees and affiliates shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Clause 4 are several in proportion to
the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule 1 to the Purchase Agreement and not joint.

 For so long as the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the 1934 Act, the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor covenant that they will file the reports required to be filed by
each of them under the 1933 Act and Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder. If the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor ceases to be so required to file such reports, the Issuer and the
Parent Guarantor covenant that they will upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities (a) make publicly available such information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (b) deliver such
information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary under applicable rules and regulations to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request,
and (c) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in each case, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (ii) Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rules or
regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Issuer will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. The Issuer’s obligations under
this Clause 5.1 shall terminate upon the later of the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the Effectiveness Period. 
  

	5.2	No Inconsistent Agreements 

 The Issuer and the Guarantors have not entered into and the Issuer and the Guarantors will not after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities
in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not and will not for the term of this Agreement in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the Issuer’s other
issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements. 
  

	5.3	Amendments and Waivers 

 The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuer has obtained the
written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or departure. 
  

	5.4	Notices 

 All notices and
other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by
such Holder to the Issuer by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 5.4, which address initially is the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Purchasers; and (b) if to the

  

 19 

 
Issuer, initially at the Issuer’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and thereafter at such other address of which notice is given in accordance with the provisions of this Clause
5.4. 
 All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally
delivered; two Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. 

Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the person giving the same to the Trustee
under the Indenture, at the address specified in such Indenture. 
  

	5.5	Successor and Assigns 

 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that
nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable
Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such person shall be conclusively
deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase Agreement, and such person shall be entitled to
receive the benefits hereof. 
  

	5.6	Third Party Beneficiaries 

 Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to
enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder. The Initial Purchasers (even if the Initial Purchasers are not Holders of Registrable Securities) shall be third party
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they deem such enforcement
necessary or advisable to protect their rights or the rights of Holders hereunder. 
  

	5.7	Specific Enforcement 

 Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Issuer and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by the Issuer and the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Clauses 2.1 through 2.4
hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such
failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Clauses 2.1 through 2.4 hereof. 
  

	5.8	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.

  

 20 

	5.9	Headings 

 The headings in
this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 
  

	5.10	GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 

  

	(a)	THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY THEREIN, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PROVISIONS THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW. 

  

	(b)	Each of the Initial Purchasers and the Issuer irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to its obligations,
liabilities or any other matter arising out of or based on this Agreement may be brought in any United States federal or state court in the State of New York, County of New York. 

  

	(c)	The Issuer and each of the Initial Purchasers hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any
legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

  

	(d)	The Issuer, each of the Guarantors and each of the Initial Purchasers hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to
trial by jury in any legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

  

	5.11	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. 
  

	5.12	Waiver of rights under Jersey law 

 Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have or claim at any time under Jersey law: 
  

	 	(a)	whether by virtue of the droit de discussion or otherwise to require that recourse be had to the assets of any other person before any claim is enforced against
the Guarantor under this Agreement in respect of the obligations assumed by the Guarantor under this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(b)	whether by virtue of the droit de division or otherwise to require that any liability under this Agreement be divided or apportioned with any other person or
reduced in any manner whatsoever. 

  

	5.13	Guarantors 

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the registration of the Securities pursuant to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Clause 2.1 or Clause 2.2 of
this Agreement would, under the rules, regulations or interpretations of the SEC, require a Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor) to include its

  

 21 

 
financial statements in any such Registration Statement or periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, the guarantee of such Guarantor (each, a Guarantee) shall not be applicable
to any Securities so registered on a Registration Statement and shall be terminated in accordance with the Notes Indenture; and, moreover, the relevant Guarantor will be under no obligation to issue such Guarantee with respect to any Exchange
Securities. In addition, to the extent it is deemed reasonably necessary for purposes of meeting the requirements of Rule 3-10 under Regulation S-X under the 1933 Act (or any successor or similar regulation or exemption) in order for financial
statements of such Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor) not to be required to be included in any Registration Statement or periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, such Guarantor shall be entitled to amend or modify the terms of
its Guarantee with respect to the Securities or the Exchange Securities or the limitations applicable to its Guarantee, in any respect in accordance with the terms of the Notes Indenture. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
