CONTAINER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the subsidiaries of the Company that are listed on the signature pages hereto, if any

        2.    Exchange Offer.    

        (a)   Unless
the Exchange Offer would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, the Issuers shall file with the SEC, no later than the
Filing Date, a Registration Statement (the "Exchange Offer Registration Statement") on an appropriate registration form with respect to a registered
offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange any and all of the Registrable Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the Company
(the "Exchange Notes") guaranteed by the Guarantors, if any, that are identical in all material respects to the Securities, except that (i) the
Exchange Notes shall contain no restrictive legend thereon and (ii) interest thereon shall accrue from the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes or, if no such interest has been
paid, from the Issue Date, and which are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or a trust indenture which is identical in all material respects to the Indenture (other than such changes to the
Indenture or any such other trust indenture as are necessary to comply with the TIA) and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA. The Exchange Offer shall comply with all applicable
tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act and other applicable laws. The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to (x) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or before the Effectiveness Date; (y) keep the Exchange Offer open for at least 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law)
after the date that notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to Holders; and (z) consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 180th day following the Issue Date. 

        Each
Holder (including, without limitation, each Participating Broker-Dealer) who participates in the Exchange Offer will be required to represent to the Issuers in writing (which may be
contained in the applicable letter of transmittal) that: (i) any Exchange Notes acquired in exchange for Registrable Notes tendered are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the
Person receiving such Exchange Notes, whether or not such recipient is such Holder itself; (ii) at the time of the commencement or consummation of the Exchange Offer neither such Holder nor, to
the actual knowledge of such Holder, any other Person receiving Exchange Notes from such Holder has an arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange
Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act; (iii) neither the Holder nor, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, any other Person receiving Exchange Notes from such Holder is
an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405) of the Company or, if it is an affiliate of the Company, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
to the extent applicable and will provide information to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 5 hereof in order to have their Notes included in the Shelf
Registration Statement and benefit from the provisions regarding Additional Interest in Section 4 hereof; (iv) neither such Holder nor, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, any other
Person receiving Exchange Notes from such Holder is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes; and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer, such
Holder has acquired the Registrable Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act (including,
but not limited to, the prospectus delivery requirements thereunder). 

4

 

        Upon
consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Section 2, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply solely with respect to Registrable Notes that
are Private Exchange Notes, Exchange Notes as to which Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable and Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers, and the Issuers shall have no further
obligation to register Registrable Notes (other than Private Exchange Notes and Exchange Notes as to which clause 2(c)(iv) hereof applies) pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 

        No
securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 

        (b)   The
Issuers shall include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled "Plan of Distribution," customary disclosure
with respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer that is the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes received
by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer (a "Participating Broker-Dealer"). Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall also expressly permit, to the
extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including, to the
extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, all Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the
Exchange Notes in compliance with the Securities Act. 

        The
Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein in order to
permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as is necessary to comply with applicable
law in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes; provided, however, that such period shall not be required to exceed 90 days or such
longer period if extended pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5 hereof (the "Applicable Period"). 

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

        In
connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers shall: 

        (1)   mail,
or cause to be mailed, to each Holder of record entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents; 

        (2)   use
their reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days after the date that notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to Holders
(or longer if required by applicable law); 

        (3)   utilize
the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; 

        (4)   permit
Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer remains
open; and 

        (5)   otherwise
comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. 

5

 

        As
soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange, if any, the Issuers shall: 

        (1)   accept
for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange, if any; 

        (2)   deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes so accepted for exchange; and 

        (3)   cause
the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of Securities, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, equal in principal
amount to the Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange; provided that, in the case of any Securities held in global form by a depositary,
authentication and delivery to such depositary of one or more replacement Securities in global form in an equivalent principal amount thereto for the account of such Holders in accordance with the
Indenture shall satisfy such authentication and delivery requirement. 

        The
Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that (i) the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as the case may be, does not
violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC; (ii) no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency
which might materially impair the ability of the Issuers to proceed with the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, and no material adverse development shall have occurred in any existing action or
proceeding with respect to the Issuers; and (iii) all governmental approvals shall have been obtained, which approvals the Issuers deem necessary for the consummation of the Exchange Offer or
Private Exchange. 

        The
Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes shall be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) 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 Notes shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in
the Indenture. The Indenture or such indenture shall provide that the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Securities shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that
none of the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes or the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. 

        (c)   If,
(i) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations of the staff of the SEC, the Issuers are not permitted to effect the Exchange
Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 180 days of the Issue Date, (iii) the Initial Purchasers or any holder of Private Exchange Notes so requests in writing to
the Company at any time after the consummation of the Exchange Offer, or (iv) in the case of any Holder that participates in the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive Exchange Notes on
the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Issuers within the
meaning of the Securities Act) and so notifies the Company within 30 days after such Holder first becomes aware of such restrictions, in the case of each of clauses (i) to and including
(iv) of this sentence, then the Issuers shall promptly deliver to the Holders and the Trustee written notice thereof (the "Shelf Notice") and
shall file a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 

        3.    Shelf Registration.    

        If
at any time a Shelf Notice is delivered as contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof, then: 

        (a)    Shelf Registration.    The Issuers shall as promptly as practicable file with the SEC a
Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (the "Initial Shelf
Registration"). The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration on or prior to the 

6

 

applicable
Filing Date. The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Notes for resale by Holders in
the manner or manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings). The Issuers shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Notes and the
Guarantees, if any, to be included in the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration (as defined below). 

        Subject
to Section 3(d), the Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the
Effectiveness Date and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that is two years from the Issue Date or such shorter period ending when
all Registrable Notes cease to be Registrable Notes, or all Registrable Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Initial Shelf
Registration or, if applicable, a Subsequent Shelf Registration (as may be extended pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5 hereof, the "Effectiveness
Period"); provided, however, that the Effectiveness Period in respect of the Initial Shelf Registration shall be extended to the
extent required to permit dealers to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the Securities Act and as otherwise provided herein and shall be subject to
reduction to the extent that the applicable provisions of Rule 144(k) are amended or revised to reduce the two year holding period set forth therein. 

        (b)    Withdrawal of Stop Orders; Subsequent Shelf Registrations.    If the Initial Shelf
Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the Notes registered
thereunder), the Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 30 days of such
cessation of effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration Statement in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration (each, a
"Subsequent Shelf Registration"). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the
Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective for a
period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously
continuously effective. As used herein the term "Shelf Registration" means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registration. 

        (c)    Supplements and Amendments.    The Issuers shall promptly supplement and amend the
Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably
requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes (or their counsel) covered by such Registration Statement with respect to the information included therein
with respect to one or more of such Holders, or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes with respect to the information included therein with respect to such underwriter. 

        (d)    Blackout Period.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Company, upon notice to the Holders of Registrable Notes, may suspend the use of the Prospectus included in any Shelf Registration Statement in the event that, and for a period of time (a
"Blackout Period") not to exceed an aggregate of 60 days in any twelve- month period (1) the Board of Directors of the Company determines,
in good faith, that the disclosure of an event, occurrence or other item at such time could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or prospects of the
Company or (2) the disclosure otherwise 

7

 

relates
to a material business transaction which has not been publicly disclosed and the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in good faith, that any such disclosure would jeopardize the
success of such transaction or that disclosure of the transaction is prohibited pursuant to the terms thereof; provided, that, upon the termination of
such Blackout Period, the Company promptly shall notify the Holders of Registrable Notes that such Blackout Period has been terminated. 

        4.    Additional Interest.    

        (a)   The
Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Issuers fail to fulfill their obligations under Section 2 or
Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Issuers agree to pay, jointly and severally, as liquidated damages,
additional interest on the Notes ("Additional Interest") under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be given
independent effect): 

          (i)  if
(A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration has been filed on or prior to the Filing Date applicable thereto or
(B) notwithstanding that the Issuers have consummated or will consummate the Exchange Offer, the Issuers are required to file a Shelf Registration and such Shelf Registration is not
filed on or prior to the Filing Date applicable thereto, then, commencing on the day after any such Filing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate of
0.50% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following such applicable Filing Date, and such Additional Interest rate shall increase by an additional 0.50% per annum at the beginning of
each subsequent 90-day period; or 

         (ii)  if
(A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness
Date applicable thereto or (B) notwithstanding that the Issuers have consummated or will consummate the Exchange Offer, the Issuers are required to file a Shelf Registration and such
Shelf Registration is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Date applicable to such Shelf Registration, then, commencing on the day after such Effectiveness Date,
Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following the day after such Effectiveness Date, and such
Additional Interest rate shall increase by an additional 0.50% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period; or 

        (iii)  if
(A) the Issuers have not exchanged Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 180th
day after the Issue Date or (B) if applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time during the Effectiveness Period
(other than during any Blackout Period relating to such Shelf Registration), then Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum for the first
90 days commencing on the (x) 181st day after the Issue Date, in the case of (A) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective in the case of
(B) above, and such Additional Interest rate shall increase by an additional 0.50% per annum at the beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period; 

provided, however, that (1) the Additional Interest rate on the Notes may not accrue under more than one of the foregoing clauses
(i)-(iii) at any one time and at no time shall the aggregate amount of additional interest accruing exceed in the aggregate 2.0% per annum and (2) Additional Interest shall not accrue
under clause (iii)(B) above during the continuation of a Blackout Period; provided, further, however, that (1) upon the filing of the
applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the applicable Shelf Registration as required hereunder (in the case of clause (i) above of this Section 4), (2) upon the
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the applicable Shelf Registration Statement as required hereunder (in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 4), or
(3) upon 

8

 

the
exchange of the Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered (in the case of clause (iii)(A) of this Section 4), or upon the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement
which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of (iii)(B) of this Section 4), Additional Interest on the Notes in respect of which such events relate as a result of such clause (or the
relevant subclause thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. 

        (b)   The
Issuers shall notify the Trustee within two 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"). Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash
semiannually on each February 15 and August 15 (to the holders of record on the February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding such dates), commencing with the first such
date occurring after any such Additional Interest commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal
amount of the Registrable Notes, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a
360 day year comprised of twelve 30 day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360. 

        (c)   No
Additional Interest shall accrue with respect to Notes that are not Registrable Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Additional Interest shall accrue with respect to
any Initial Notes under this Agreement. 

        (d)   The
parties hereto agree that the Additional Interest provided for in this Section 4 constitutes the sole damages that will be suffered by Holders of Registrable
Notes by reason of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4(a)(i)-(iii) hereof. 

        5.    Registration Procedures.    

        In
connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, the Issuers shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of the securities
covered thereby in accordance
with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Issuers hereunder, each of the Issuers shall: 

         (a)  Prepare
and file with the SEC prior to the applicable Filing Date a Registration Statement or Registration Statements as prescribed by Section 2 or 3 hereof, and
use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided,
however, that if (1) such filing is pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant
to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto from
whom any Issuer has received timely written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto, the Issuers shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 3 hereof) or each such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), as the case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, a
reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at
least five business days prior to such filing). The Issuers shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object on a timely basis. 

9

 

         (b)  Prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as
the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period, the Applicable Period or until consummation of the Exchange Offer, as the
case may be; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus
as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being sold by an Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus;  provided that, to the extent relating to a
Shelf Registration Statement, none of the foregoing shall be required during a Blackout Period. Other than
during any Blackout Period, the Issuers shall be deemed not to have used their reasonable best efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective if any Issuer voluntarily takes any action that would
result in selling Holders of the Registrable Notes covered thereby or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange Notes not being able to sell such Registrable Notes or such Exchange Notes
during that period unless such action is required by applicable law or permitted by this Agreement. 

         (c)  If
(1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating
thereto from whom any Issuer has received timely written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, notify the selling Holders of Registrable Notes (with respect to a
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), or each such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), as the case may be, their counsel and the
managing underwriters, if any, promptly (but in any event within one business day), and confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective under the Securities
Act (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, at the sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or
post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the
SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for
that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Registrable Notes or resales of Exchange Notes by
Participating Broker-Dealers the representations and warranties of the Issuers contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 5(m) hereof cease to be
true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by any Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of
the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose,
(v) of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition or any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in or amendments or supplements to such Registration
Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any 

10

 

untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the Issuers' determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. 

         (d)  Use
its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending
the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale
in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest practicable moment. 

         (e)  Subject
to Section 3(d), if a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 and if requested during the Effectiveness Period by the managing
underwriter or underwriters (if any), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold in connection with an underwritten offering or any Participating
Broker-Dealer, (i) as promptly as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters (if
any), such Holders, any Participating Broker-Dealer or counsel for any of them reasonably request to be included therein, (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment, and (iii) supplement or make amendments to such Registration Statement. 

          (f)  If
(1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, furnish to
each selling Holder of Registrable Notes (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof) and to each such Participating Broker-Dealer who so requests (with respect
to any such Registration Statement) and to their respective counsel and each managing underwriter, if any, at the sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy of the Registration Statement or
Registration Statements and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if requested, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference and all exhibits. 

         (g)  If
(1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, deliver to
each selling Holder of Registrable Notes (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), or each such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such
Registration Statement), as the case may be, their respective counsel, and the underwriters, if any, at the sole expense of the Issuers, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including
each form of preliminary prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein as such Persons may reasonably request; and, subject to the last
paragraph of this Section 5, the Issuers hereby consent to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale
by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto. 

11

  

         (h)  Prior
to any public offering of Registrable Notes or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by any Participating
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or
each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or
exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling
Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, or the managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that where Exchange
Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or Registrable Notes are offered other than through an underwritten offering, the Issuers agree to cause their counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and
file registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 5(h), keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such
Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Exchange Notes held by
Participating Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Notes covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Issuer shall be
required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in excess of $1,000 in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 

          (i)  If
a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes and the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall
be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company; and enable such Registrable Notes to be in such denominations (subject to applicable requirements contained in the Indenture) and
registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may request. 

          (j)  If
(1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, upon the
occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph 5(c)(v) or 5(c)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable (except, in the case of a Shelf Registration, during a Blackout Period)
prepare and (subject to Section 5(a) hereof) file with the SEC, at the sole expense of the Issuers, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a
supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of the Registrable Notes being sold thereunder (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof) or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such
Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), any such Prospectus will not 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

         (k)  Use
its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, to be rated with the
appropriate rating agencies (unless such Notes are already so rated), if so requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes covered by such Registration
Statement or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any. 

12

 

          (l)  Prior
to the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Notes, (i) provide the Trustee with certificates for the Registrable
Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Notes. 

        (m)  In
connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration, enter into an underwriting agreement as is customary in underwritten
offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities, and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the
registration or the disposition of such Registrable Notes and, in such connection, (i) make such representations and warranties to, and covenants with, the underwriters with respect to the
business of the Issuers (including any acquired business, properties or entity, if applicable), and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein, in each case, as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities, and confirm the same in
writing if and when requested; (ii) obtain the written opinions of counsel to the Issuers, and written updates thereof in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing
underwriter or underwriters, addressed to the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions reasonably requested in underwritten offerings; (iii) obtain "cold comfort"
letters and updates thereof in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters from the independent certified public accountants of the Issuers (and, if
necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of the Issuers, or of any business acquired by the Issuers, for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be,
included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered
in "cold comfort" letters in connection with underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities; and (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain
indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable to the sellers and underwriters, if any, than those set forth in Section 7 hereof (or such other provisions and procedures reasonably
acceptable to Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters or agents, if any). The above
shall be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or as, and to the extent, required thereunder. 

         (n)  If
(1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, make
available for inspection by any Initial Purchaser, any selling Holder of such Registrable Notes being sold (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), or each
such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Notes, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any
such selling Holder or each such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), as the case may be, or underwriter (any such Initial Purchasers, Holders, Participating
Broker-Dealers, underwriters, attorneys, accountants or agents, collectively, the "Inspectors"), upon written request, at the offices where normally
kept, during reasonable business hours, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and instruments of the Issuers and subsidiaries of the Issuer, if any, (collectively,
the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers,
directors and employees of the Issuers and any of their respective subsidiaries, if any, to supply all information ("Information") reasonably requested
by any such Inspector in connection with such due diligence responsibilities. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that it will keep the Records and Information confidential 

13

 

and
that it will not disclose any of the Records or Information that any Issuer determines, in good faith, to be confidential and notifies the Inspectors in writing are confidential unless
(i) the disclosure of such Records or Information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the release of such
Records or Information ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) disclosure of such Records or Information is necessary or advisable, in the
opinion of counsel for any Inspector, in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving such Inspector and arising out of, based
upon, relating to, or involving this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or arising hereunder or thereunder, or (iv) the information in such
Records or Information has been made generally available to the public other than by an Inspector or an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405) thereof; provided,
however, that prior notice shall be provided as soon as practicable to any Issuer of the potential disclosure of any information by such Inspector pursuant to clause (i)
or (ii) of this sentence to permit the Issuers to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of such Records or Information at the Issuers' expense. 

         (o)  Provide
an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture or the trust indenture provided for in
Section 2(a) hereof, as the case may be, to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Notes; and in connection
therewith, cooperate with the trustee under any such indenture and the Holders of the Registrable Notes, to effect such changes (if any) to such indenture as may be required for such indenture to be
so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such 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 such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner. 

         (p)  Comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its securityholders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, a
consolidated earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no
later than 45 days after the end of any fiscal quarter (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of
any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Notes are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering,
commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company, after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods. 

         (q)  Upon
consummation of the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange, if so requested by the Trustee, obtain an opinion of counsel to the Issuers, in a form customary for
underwritten transactions, addressed to the Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of Registrable Notes participating in the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, that the
Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, the related guarantee, if any, and the related indenture constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuers, enforceable
against the Issuers in accordance with their respective terms, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications. If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of
the Registrable Notes by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company), in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, the Issuers
shall mark, or cause to be marked, on such Registrable Notes that such Registrable Notes are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be; in no
event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 

14

 

         (r)  Cooperate
with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable
Notes and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD"). 

         (s)  Use
its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Exchange Notes and/or Registrable Notes covered by a Registration
Statement contemplated hereby. 

        The
Issuers may require each seller of Registrable Notes as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Issuers such information regarding such seller and the
distribution of such Registrable Notes as the Issuers may, from time to time, reasonably request. The Issuers may exclude from such registration the Registrable Notes of any seller so long as such
seller fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each seller as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the
Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuers by such seller not materially misleading. 

        If
any such Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require
(i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a
recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements
of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of
the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required. 

        Each
Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by such Participating
Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon actual receipt of any notice from the Company (i) of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5(c)(ii), 5(c)(iv),
5(c)(v), or 5(c)(vi) hereof, or (ii) of the commencement of any Blackout Period, such Holder will, in each case, forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered by
such Registration Statement or Prospectus or Exchange Notes to be sold by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, until such Holder's or Participating Broker-Dealer's receipt
of the copies of any supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(j) hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by
the Issuers that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto. In the event that the Issuers shall give any such notice, each
of the Applicable Period and the Effectiveness Period shall be extended by the number of days during such periods from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date
when each seller of Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or Exchange Notes to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, shall have received (x) the
copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(k) hereof or (y) the Advice. 

        6.    Registration Expenses.    

        All
fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Issuers (other than any underwriting discounts or commissions) shall be borne by the
Issuers, whether or not the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any Shelf Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective or the Exchange Offer is consummated, including, without limitation,
(i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, (A) fees with respect to filings required to be made with the NASD in connection with an underwritten offering and
(B) fees and expenses of 

15

 

compliance
with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Notes or Exchange
Notes and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions (x) where the holders of Registrable Notes are located,
in the case of the Exchange Notes, or (y) as provided in Section 5(h) hereof, in the case of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer during the
Applicable Period)), (ii) printing expenses, including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The
Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Notes included in any Registration Statement or in respect of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer during the
Applicable Period, as the case may be, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuers and, in the case of a Shelf Registration,
reasonable fees and disbursements of one special counsel for all of the sellers of Registrable Notes (exclusive of any counsel retained pursuant to Section 7 hereof), (v) fees and
disbursements of all independent certified public accountants referred to in Section 5(n)(iii) hereof (including, without limitation, the expenses of any "cold comfort" letters required
by or incident to such performance), (vi) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Issuers desire such insurance, (vii) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Issuers,
(viii) internal expenses of the Issuers (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees of the Issuers performing legal or accounting duties),
(ix) the expense of any annual audit, (x) any fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange, and the obtaining
of a rating of the securities, in each case, if applicable, and (xi) the expenses relating to printing, word processing and distributing all Registration Statements, underwriting agreements,
indentures and any other documents necessary in order to comply with this Agreement. 

        7.    Indemnification and Contribution.    

        (a)   Each
of the Issuers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange
Notes during the Applicable Period, and each Person, if any, who controls such Person or its affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(each, a "Participant") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any Participant may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as any such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: 

          (i)  any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by any Issuer contained in any application or any other document or any amendment or supplement thereto executed
by any Issuer based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of any Issuer filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Notes under the securities or Blue Sky laws thereof or filed with
the SEC or any securities association or securities exchange (each, an "Application"); 

         (ii)  any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented if any of the Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus; or 

        (iii)  the
omission or alleged omission to state, in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have
furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or any Application or any other document or any amendment or supplement thereto, a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

16

 

and
will reimburse, as incurred, the Participant for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Participant in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a
third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, (i) the Issuers will not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if any of the Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary
prospectus or Application or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Participant furnished to the Issuers by such Participant
specifically for use therein and (ii) the Issuers shall not be liable to any Participant under the indemnity agreement in this subsection (a) with respect to a preliminary prospectus (or
Prospectus, before amendment or supplement) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Participant results from the fact that such Participant (or a controlled or affiliated
Person thereof) sold Notes to a Person as to whom it shall be established that there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus (or the
Prospectus as then amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have furnished such Participant with copies of such amendment or supplement thereto sufficient to allow for a timely distribution prior
to the confirmation of the sale to such Participant), in any case where such delivery is required by applicable law and the loss, claim, damage or liability of such Participant results from an untrue
statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus which was corrected in the Prospectus (or in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have
furnished such Participant with copies of such amendment or supplement thereto sufficient to allow for a timely distribution prior to the confirmation of the sale to such Participant). The indemnity
provided for in this Section 7 will be in addition to any liability that the Issuers may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Issuers shall not be liable under this Section 7
for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

        (b)   Each
Participant, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, their directors, their officers and each Person, if any, who controls the
Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuers or any such director,
officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Application, Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto,
or any preliminary prospectus, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such
Participant, furnished to the Issuers by the Participant, specifically for use therein; and subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses incurred by the Issuers or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in
connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7 will be in addition to any liability that the Participants may
otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Participants shall not be liable under this Section 7 for any settlement of any claim or action effected without their consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Issuers shall not, without the prior written consent of such Participant, effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Participant is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by any Participant, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the
Participants from all liability on claims that are the subject 

17

 

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 Participant. 

        (c)   Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is entitled to
indemnification under this Section 7, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from any liability under paragraph (a) or
(b) above unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the
indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) 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 Section 7 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 one local counsel in any jurisdiction) 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 Participants who sold a majority in interest of the Registrable Notes
and Exchange Notes sold by all such Participants in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 7 or the Issuers in the case of paragraph (b) of this Section 7, representing
the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, 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 paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they
are incurred following receipt of reasonable supporting documentation. Without limiting the effect of the last sentence of Section 7(a), 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 Section 7, in which case the indemnified party may
effect such a settlement without such consent. 

        (d)   In
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 7 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless,
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in 

18

 

order
to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other
from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). The relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and such Participant on the other shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) of the Notes received by the Issuers bear to the total gain (if any) excluding expenses received by such
Participant in connection with the sale of the Notes. The relative fault of the parties 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 Issuers on the one hand, or the Participants on the other, the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances. The parties agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Participant
shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total gain (if any) received by such Participant in connection with the sale of the Notes, less the aggregate amount
of any damages that such Participant has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact, and no
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls a Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Participants, and each director of any Issuer, each officer of any Issuer and each person, if any, who controls any Issuer within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers. 

        8.    Rules 144 and 144A.    

        Each
of the Issuers covenants and agrees that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by
the SEC thereunder in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, if at any time such Issuer is not required to file such reports, such Issuer
will, upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Notes, make available such information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A. Each of the Issuers further
covenants and agrees, for so long as any Registrable Notes remain outstanding that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable
Notes may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Notes without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act and Rule 144A. 

        9.    Underwritten Registrations.    

        If
any of the Registrable Notes covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that
will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Notes included in such offering and shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Issuers. 

19

 

        No
Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable Notes 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. 

        10.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)    No Inconsistent Agreements.    The Issuers have not, as of the date hereof, and the
Issuers shall not, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to any of their securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Notes
in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with 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 Issuers' other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements. The Issuers will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of their securities which will grant to any
Person piggy-back registration rights with respect to any Registration Statement. 

        (b)    Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes.    Except in compliance with
Section 10(c), the Issuers shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Notes as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders of
Registrable Notes to include such Registrable Notes in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement. 

        (c)    Amendments and Waivers.    The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
otherwise than with the prior written consent of (I) the Company, and (II)(A) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Notes and
(B) in circumstances that would adversely affect the Participating Broker-Dealers, the Participating Broker-Dealers holding not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Exchange Notes held by all Participating Broker-Dealers; provided, however, that Section 7 and this Section 10(c) may not be amended,
modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder and each Participating Broker-Dealer (including any person who was a Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer of Registrable
Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, disposed of pursuant to any Registration Statement) affected by any such amendment, modification or supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or
consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Notes whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement. For the purpose of this
Section 10(c), the Initial Notes shall not be considered Registrable Notes. 

        (d)    Notices.    All notices and other communications (including, without limitation, any
notices or other communications to the Trustee) provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, next-day air courier

terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their

	This

contained herein constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms.

	4.2
	To
the best knowledge of Borrower, no court of competent jurisdiction has issued any injunction, restraining order or other order which prohibits consummation of the issuance of the
Additional $50,000,000 Notes and the transactions related to the other First Supplement Noteholder Agreements and no governmental or other action or proceeding has been threatened or commenced,
seeking any injunction, restraining order or other order which seeks to avoid or otherwise modify the issuance of the Additional $50,000,000 Notes or any of the other First Supplement Noteholder
Agreements and the transactions related thereto. 

4

 

	4.3
	Neither
the execution and delivery of the Additional $50,000,000 Notes or any of the other First Supplement Noteholder Agreements, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Noteholder Agreements, nor compliance with the provisions thereof, shall result in the creation nor imposition of any lien, charge or incumbrance upon any of the Collateral.
