with respect to the Registered Exchange Offer. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Act within 180 days of the Issue Date (or if such 180th day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 
 (b) Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company
shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder electing to exchange Securities for New Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company,
acquires the New Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business, has no arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the New Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from

and amended as required, under the Act to ensure that it is available for sales of New Securities by Exchanging Dealers during the Exchange Offer Registration Period; provided that if any Initial Purchaser holds Securities that it acquired
for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (but not directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) after the expiration of the Exchange Offer Registration Period, that Initial Purchaser shall
have the right, for 90 days immediately following the expiration of the Exchange Offer Registration Period, to request the Company to prepare a prospectus for use by that Initial Purchaser for sales of New Securities, and the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to prepare that prospectus for such use;

position of the Commission in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (pub. avail. May 13, 1988) and Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (pub. avail. June 5, 1991); and (B) including a representation that the Company has not entered
into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the New Securities to be received in the Registered Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s information and belief, each Holder participating in the Registered
Exchange Offer is acquiring the New Securities in the ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the New Securities; and 

(vii) comply in all respects with all applicable laws. 

(d) As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall: 

(i) accept for exchange all Securities tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; 

(ii) deliver to the Trustee or Principal Paying Agent for cancellation in accordance with Section 5(r) all Securities so
accepted for exchange; and 
 (iii) cause the Authenticating Agent promptly to authenticate and deliver to each Holder of
Securities a principal amount of New Securities equal to the principal amount of the Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange. 

(e) Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such Holder using the Registered Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of
the New Securities (x) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (pub. avail. June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation
(pub. avail. May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993 and similar no-action letters; and (y) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction which must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of
Regulation S-K under the Act if the resales are of New Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company or one of its Affiliates. Accordingly, each Holder participating in the Registered
Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that, at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer: 

  
 - 5 - 

 (i) any New Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (ii) such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities or the New Securities within the meaning of the Act; and 
 (iii) such Holder is not an
Affiliate of the Company, or if it is an Affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act to the extent applicable. 

(f) If any Initial Purchaser determines that it is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the exchange
of Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, at the request of such Initial Purchaser, the Company shall issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser or the person purchasing New Securities registered under a Shelf Registration
Statement as contemplated by Section 3 hereof from such Initial Purchaser, in exchange for such Securities, a like principal amount of New Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the same ISIN numbers and/or
Common Codes for such New Securities as for New Securities issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer. 
 3. Shelf
Registration. (a) If (i) due to any change in law or applicable interpretations thereof by the Commission’s staff, the Company determines upon advice of its outside counsel that it is not permitted to effect the Registered
Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 2 hereof; (ii) for any other reason the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective within 180 days of the Issue Date (or if such 180th day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day) or the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within 210 days of the Issue Date (or if such 210th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day); (iii) any Initial Purchaser so requests within 45
days of consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to Securities that are not eligible to be exchanged for New Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and that are held by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange
Offer; (iv) any Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) so requests within 45 days of consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer on the basis that such Holder was not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or does not
receive freely tradeable New Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer other than by reason of such Holder being an Affiliate of the Company (it being understood that a requirement to deliver a Prospectus in connection with market-making
activities or other trading shall not result in the applicable securities not being “freely tradeable”); or (v) in the case of any Initial Purchaser that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer or acquires New Securities
pursuant to Section 2(f) hereof, such Initial Purchaser does not receive freely tradeable New Securities in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment (it being understood that (x) the requirement that an
Initial Purchaser deliver a Prospectus containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Act in connection with sales of New Securities acquired in exchange for such Securities shall result in such New
Securities being not “freely tradeable”; and (y) the requirement that an Exchanging Dealer deliver an Exchange Offer Prospectus in connection with sales of New Securities acquired in the Registered Exchange Offer in exchange for
Securities acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities shall not result in such New Securities being not “freely tradeable”), the Company shall effect a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with
subsection (b) below. 

  
 - 6 - 

 (b) (i) The Company shall as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 60 days after so
required or requested pursuant to this Section 3), file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective under the Act a Shelf Registration Statement, or shall, if permitted by Rule 430B
under the Act, otherwise designate an existing effective filing with the Commission for use by the Holders as a Shelf Registration Statement, relating to the offer and sale of the Securities or the New Securities, as applicable, by the Holders
thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled
to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder; and provided further, that with
respect to New Securities received by an Initial Purchaser in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Company may, if permitted by current interpretations by the Commission’s staff, file a post-effective
amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, in satisfaction of its obligations under this subsection with respect thereto, and any such Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement. 

(ii) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and
amended as required by the Act, in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period of two years from the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities or New Securities, as
applicable, covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (in any such case, such period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Company shall be deemed not to have used
its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities
during that period, unless (A) such action is required by applicable law; or (B) such action is taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder),
including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with the requirements of Section 5(k) hereof, if applicable. The Company is expressly permitted to suspend the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement in good faith in connection with the acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with the requirements of Section 5(k) hereof, if applicable. 

4. Additional Interest. If (i) on or prior to the 90th day following the Issue Date, neither the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission, (ii) on or prior to the 180th day following the Issue Date, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the Commission, (iii) on or prior to the 210th day following the Issue Date, neither the Registered Exchange Offer has been consummated nor the Shelf Registration Statement has

  
 - 7 - 

 
been declared effective or (iv) after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared effective the Registration Statement
thereafter ceases to be effective or fails to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared
effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees that the interest rate borne by the Securities shall be increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day
period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such increase exceed 1.00% per annum. Following the cure of
all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Securities, the interest rate borne by the relevant Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such
reduction in interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions. 

All obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to the Securities shall accrue to the
New Securities until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full.

(c) The Company shall advise you, the Holders of Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement and any Exchanging Dealer under any
Exchange Offer Registration Statement that has provided in writing to the Company a telephone or facsimile number and address for notices, and, if requested by you or any such Holder or Exchanging Dealer, shall confirm such advice in writing (which

sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Securities or New Securities, as applicable, as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for
inclusion in such Registration Statement and (ii) provide the indemnity contemplated by Section 7(b). The Company may exclude from such Shelf Registration Statement the Securities or New Securities, as applicable, of any Holder that fails

(v) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent registered public accounting firm of the
Company (and, if necessary, any other independent registered public accounting firm of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in
the Registration Statement), addressed to each selling Holder of Securities or New Securities, as applicable, registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold
comfort” letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings; and 
 (vi) deliver such documents and certificates
as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters, if any, including those to evidence compliance with Section 5(k) and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement
entered into by the Company. 
 The actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this subsection shall be performed at (A) the
effectiveness or designation 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. 

(r) If a Registered Exchange Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other person as
directed by the Company) in exchange for the New Securities, the Company shall mark, or cause to be marked, on the Securities so exchanged that such Securities are being canceled in exchange for the New Securities. In no event shall the Securities
be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
 (s) In the event that any Broker-Dealer shall underwrite any Securities or New Securities, as
applicable, or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Rules of Fair Practice and the By-Laws of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.)
thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or New Securities, as applicable, or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, assist such Broker-Dealer in complying with the requirements
of such Rules and By-Laws, including, without limitation, by: 

  
 - 13 - 

 (i) if such Rules or By-Laws shall so require, engaging a “qualified
independent underwriter” (as defined in such Rules) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement, to exercise usual standards of due diligence with respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such
Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities or New Securities, as applicable; 

(ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in
Section 7 hereof; and 
 (iii) providing such information to such Broker-Dealer as may be required in order for such
Broker-Dealer to comply with the requirements of such Rules. 
 (t) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other
steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities or the New Securities, as the case may be, covered by a Registration Statement. 

(u) The Company shall use its best efforts to have the New Securities admitted to listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Company shall
use its best efforts to maintain such listing until none of the New Securities is outstanding or until such time as payment in respect of principal and interest and additional amounts, if any, in respect of the New Securities has been duly provided
for, whichever is earlier. 
 6. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the
performance of its obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 5 hereof and, in the event of any Shelf Registration Statement, will reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel designated by the Majority Holders to
act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith, and, in the case of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel acting in connection therewith. 

7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Securities or New Securities,
as the case may be, covered by any Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 5(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer), the directors, officers, employees and
agents of each such Holder and each person who controls any such Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become
subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, (ii) any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, or (iii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus approved for use by the Company, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them 

  
 - 14 - 

 
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of any such Holder specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. 

The Company also agrees to indemnify or contribute as provided in Section 7(d) to Losses of each underwriter of Securities or New
Securities, as the case may be, registered under a Shelf Registration Statement, their directors, officers, employees or agents and each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the
Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in this Section 7(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 5(p) hereof. 

(b) Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser and, with respect to any Prospectus
delivery as contemplated in Section 5(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer) severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs such Registration Statement and each
person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such Holder
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have. 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve
it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and 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 paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to
appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be
responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.
Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party
shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel 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
actual or potential defendants in, or 

  
 - 15 - 

 
targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to
it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (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 notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. The indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed
as incurred. Such firm shall be designated by Merrill Lynch International in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b). Each indemnified
party shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. 
 (d) In the
event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several
obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified
party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Registration Statement
which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser or any subsequent Holder of any Security or New Security be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the purchase discount
or commission applicable to such Security, or in the case of a New Security, applicable to the Security that was exchangeable into such New Security, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in
excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased by such underwriter under the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is
unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand,
and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the
total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth in
the Purchase Agreement, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed 

  
 - 16 - 

 
to be equal to the value of receiving Securities or New Securities, as applicable, registered under the Act or selling Securities or New Securities, as applicable, under a Shelf Registration
Statement. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement which resulted in such
Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other
hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by
pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph
(d), 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 Section, each
person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company
within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case
to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 
 (e) The provisions of this Section will remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the directors, officers, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in this Section hereof, and will survive the sale by a Holder of securities
covered by a Registration Statement. 
 8. Underwritten Registrations. (a) If any of the Securities or New Securities, as the
case may be, covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Majority Holders, provided, however, that such Managing Underwriters must be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 
 (b) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration
Statement, unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangements; (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; and (iii) agrees to be bound
by Section 7(b) hereof. 
 9. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall
it, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 

  
 - 17 - 

 10. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of
this sentence, may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of
the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Securities (or, after the consummation of any Registered Exchange Offer in accordance with Section 2 hereof, of New Securities); provided that, with respect to any matter that directly
or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Securities or New Securities, as the case may
be, are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be,
being sold rather than registered under such Registration Statement. 
 11. Notices. All notices and other communications provided
for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery: 

(a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such Holder maintained by the Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy in like manner to Merrill Lynch International. 

(b) if to you, initially at the respective addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and 

(c) if to the Company, initially at its address set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received. 

The Initial Purchasers or the Company by notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or
communications. 
 12. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of
each of the parties, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities and the New Securities. The Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any
Holder of Securities and the New Securities, and any such Holder who receives and accepts any benefits of this Agreement and who is thereafter bound by the obligations of this Agreement may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if
an original party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Securities or New Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture.
Each Holder who receives and accepts any benefits of this Agreement will be deemed to agree to be bound by and comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 - 18 - 

 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be in signed counterparts, each of which shall an
original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 14. Headings. The headings used herein are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 15. Applicable Law. This Agreement 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 in the State of New York. 

16. Severability. In the event that any one of more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any
circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or
affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

17. Securities Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of
Securities or New Securities is required hereunder, Securities or New Securities, as applicable, held by the Company or its Affiliates shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding in determining whether such consent or approval was given by
the Holders of such required percentage.

 ANNEX A 

Each Broker-Dealer that receives New Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of New Securities received in exchange for Securities where such Securities were
acquired by such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, starting on the expiration date and ending on the close of business 180 days after the expiration date, it will make
this Prospectus available to any Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution”. 

 ANNEX B 

Each Broker-Dealer that receives New Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities, where such Securities were acquired by such
Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Securities. See “Plan of Distribution”. 

 ANNEX C 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Each
Broker-Dealer that receives New Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of New Securities received in exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.
The Company has agreed that, starting on the expiration date and ending on the close of business 180 days after the expiration date, it will make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any Broker-Dealer for use in connection with
any such resale. In addition, until             , 201[ ], all dealers effecting transactions in the New Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus. 

The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Securities by brokers-dealers. New Securities received by Broker-Dealers for
their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the New Securities or a combination of such
methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such Broker-Dealer and/or the purchasers of any such New Securities. Any Broker-Dealer that resells New Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange
Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such New Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit resulting from any such resale of New Securities and any
commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
 For a period of
180 days after the expiration date, the Company will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any Broker-Dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company
has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Securities
(including any Broker-Dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. 
 If the undersigned is not a
Broker-Dealer, the undersigned represents that it acquired the New Securities in the ordinary course of its business, it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of New Securities and it has no arrangements or
understandings with any person to participate in a distribution of the New Securities. If the undersigned is a Broker-Dealer that will receive New Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities, it represents that the Securities to be
exchanged for New Securities were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Securities; however, by so
acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE (this "Amendment") is dated February 28, 2017, by and between HEALTHWAREHOUSE.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation, HWAREH.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation, and HOCKS.COM, INC., an Ohio corporation, jointly and severally (collectively, "Borrower"), and MELROSE CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, "Lender").

WHEREAS,  Borrower  executed  an  Amended  and   Restated   Promissory   Note   dated August 15, 2016, payable to the order of Lender in the principal amount of $1,200,000.00, with a maturity date of September 30, 2016, an Amendment to Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated September 30, 2016, which extended the maturity date to October 14, 2016, a Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated September 30, 2016, which extended the maturity date to October 31, 2016, a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated October 31, 2016, which extended the maturity date to November 30, 2016 and a Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated November 30, 2016, which extended the maturity date to February 28, 2017 (together with all previous amendments or modifications thereto, the "Note");

WHEREAS, Borrower acknowledges that Lender extended the original maturity date of the Note four times prior to this date, at Borrower's request, based upon Borrower's ongoing representations that it was engaged in efforts to refinance the Note in order to repay Lender in full, which has not occurred yet;

WHEREAS, Lender has advised Borrower that it does not intend to continue extending the Note without evidence that Borrower has made good faith efforts to refinance the Note, including binding commitment letters from lenders or investors in an amount not less than the outstanding principal balance of the Note;

WHEREAS, based upon Borrower's representations that it will be in a position to repay the Note in full in the next 30 days, Lender has agreed to this additional extension of the maturity date of the Note;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. The Note is hereby amended as follows:

	
a.

	
Section 2 of the Note amended to extend the Maturity Date from February 28, 2017 to March 30, 2017.

	
b.

	
Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed of its efforts to refinance the Note.

2. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Note.

3. Borrower hereby certifies that: (a) all of its representations and warranties in the Note and in this Amendment are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment; (b) no Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists under the Note; and (c) this Amendment has been executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms.  Borrower confirms that the obligations under the Note remain outstanding without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment.

4. This Amendment is a continuation of the Note and shall not be construed as a novation or extinguishment of the obligations arising under the Note as originally issued, and the issuance of this Amendment shall not affect the priority of any security interest granted in connection with the Note.  The execution of this Amendment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any default or Event of Default.

5. Borrower hereby confirms that the collateral for the Note, including but not limited to the following: (i) Security Agreement from HEALTHWAREHOUSE.COM, INC., HWAREH.COM, INC. and HOCKS.COM, INC. dated March 28, 2013, covering all business assets, including but not limited to accounts, inventory, equipment , deposit accounts and general intangibles and (ii) Deposit Account Control Agreement dated October 22, 2015 between Borrower, Lender and Cheviot Savings Bank with respect to Borrower's deposit accounts, as restated by a Deposit Account Control Agreement dated July 8, 2016 between MainSource Bank, successor in interest to Cheviot Savings Bank, Borrower and Lender, with respect to Borrower's deposit accounts at MainSource Bank ((i) and (ii), collectively, the "Collateral"), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect.

6. Borrower hereby releases and/or forever discharges Lender, including its members, managers, employees, agents, attorneys, officers, directors, representatives and affiliates (collectively "Lender Parties"), from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, losses or costs, whether known or unknown, which they have, may have, claim to have or allege to have against Lender Parties as of the date this Amendment is executed, which relate to the Note, as amended, or the terms of the Note, as amended, or any instrument related to the Note executed prior to the date this Amendment is executed, including the Loan Documents, and/or any other actions taken or not taken by the Lender Parties in connection with the obligations under the Loan Documents prior to the date this Amendment is executed.

7. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8. Each party to this Amendment agrees that the terms and conditions of this Amendment are the result of arms-length negotiations between the parties and that this Amendment shall not be construed in favor of or against any party by reason of the extent to which any party, or its counsel, participated in the drafting of this Amendment.

9. This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

10. Except as expressly modified hereby, the Note remains unaltered and in full force and effect.  This Amendment shall be considered an integral part of the Note, and all references to the Note in the Note itself or any other Loan Documents shall, on and after the date of this Amendment, be deemed to be references to the Note as amended by this Amendment.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made no oral representations to Borrower with respect to the Note and this Amendment thereto and that all prior understandings between the parties are merged into the Note as amended by this Amendment.

11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS AMENDMENT, THE NOTE AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

12. CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.  Borrower authorizes any attorney to appear in any court of record in or of the State of Ohio, after the Note becomes due and payable, whether by its terms or upon default, to waive service of process and enter judgment by confession against Borrower in favor of Lender or any holder hereof for the outstanding principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, plus all costs of collection, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney's fees, and thereby to waive and release all errors in the proceedings and judgment, and all rights of appeal from such judgment and stay of execution.  Stay of execution and all exemptions are hereby waived.  Borrower also agrees that the attorney acting for Borrower as set forth in this paragraph may be compensated by Lender for such services, and Borrower waives any conflict of interest caused by such representation and compensation arrangement.  If an obligation is referred to an attorney for collection, and the payment is obtained without the entry of a judgment, the obligors will pay to Lender its attorneys' fees.
