 10 

 
generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of such Secured Obligations and would be owed by
Grantors, or any of them, to Agent, the Holders or any of them, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Grantor.

and agreements included in the Collateral, including the Pledged Operating Agreements and the Pledged Partnership Agreements, to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed,

the applicable Grantor until the occurrence of an Event of Default and until Agent shall notify the applicable Grantor of Agent’s exercise of voting, consensual, or dividend rights with respect to the Pledged Interests pursuant to

promissory note (as defined in the Code) constituting Collateral and pledged hereunder (the “Pledged Notes”) and no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the Pledged Notes. Such Grantor, if it is an obligee under a Pledged Note, has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Pledged Notes. The
proceeds of the loans evidenced by the Pledged Notes have been fully disbursed and such Grantor has no obligation to make any future advances or other disbursements under or in respect of the Pledged Notes. A true, correct and complete list of the

business without the prior written consent of Agent; 
  

 15 

 (iii) Grantors acknowledge and agree that neither Agent nor any Holder shall have any duties with
respect to the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Intellectual Property Licenses. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6(g), Grantors acknowledge and agree that neither Agent nor any Holder shall be under any obligation to
take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Intellectual Property Licenses against any other Person, but Agent may do so at its option from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of Borrowers and shall be chargeable to the Loan Account; 
 (iv) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the registration of any
Patent, Trademark, or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving Agent prior written notice thereof. Promptly upon any such filing, each Grantor
shall comply with Section 6(g)(i) hereof; and 
 (v) With respect to the Intellectual Property rights that are material to the
conduct of Grantors’ businesses, each Grantor agrees to take all necessary steps to protect each such Intellectual Property right. Each Grantor hereby agrees to take corresponding steps with respect to each new or acquired Intellectual Property

(iii) Each Grantor shall promptly deliver to Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it in respect of any Pledged Interests;

 (iv) No Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged
Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership Agreement, or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Interests other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents; 
 (v) Each Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with Agent in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state,
local, or foreign law in connection with the Security Interest in the Investment Related Property or any sale or transfer thereof; and 
  

 16 

 (vi) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any Pledged Operating

securities markets, (B) do not and will not constitute investment company securities, and (C) are not and will not be held by such Grantor in a securities account. In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements, the Pledged

option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Indenture, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for Permitted Liens. The inclusion of Proceeds in

 (k) Other Actions as to Any and All Collateral. Each Grantor shall promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days of acquiring or obtaining
such Collateral) notify Agent in writing upon (i) acquiring or otherwise obtaining any Collateral after the date hereof consisting of Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, Intellectual Property Licenses, Investment Related Property, Chattel Paper
(electronic, tangible or otherwise), documents (as defined in Article 9 of the Code), promissory notes (as defined in the Code), or instruments (as defined in the Code) or (ii) any amount payable under or in connection with any of the

 (v) Without Agent’s prior written consent, each Grantor shall not, and shall not agree to, assign or surrender its rights and interests under the
Pledged Notes nor terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement or amend the Pledged Notes. 
 (m) Motor Vehicles. Upon request of
Agent, with respect to all motor vehicles owned by any Grantor, Grantor shall deliver to Agent, a certificate of title for all such motor vehicles and shall cause those title certificates to be filed (with Agent’s Lien noted thereon) in the
appropriate state motor vehicle filing office. 
 7. Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
read and construed with the other Transaction Documents referred to below in the manner so indicated. 
 (a) Indenture. In the event
of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in the Indenture, such provision of the Indenture shall control. 
 (b) Patent, Trademark, Copyright Security Agreements. The provisions of the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and
nothing contained in the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, or the Patent Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Agent hereunder. 
 8. Further Assurances. 
 (a) Each
Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or that Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and protect any Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. 
 (b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the filing by Agent of financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such Grantor will execute and

Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code. 
 9. Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and
all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights
hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Stock is
pledged hereunder be registered in the name of Agent or any of its nominees. 
 10. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor
hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture,
to take any action and to execute any instrument which Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

 19 

 (g) Agent on behalf of the Holders shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its
own name to enforce the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper
documents reasonably required by Agent in aid of such enforcement. 
 To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that
such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated. 
 11. Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors. 
 12.
Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of itself and the ratable benefit of the Holders, and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise
any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time
or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or
other agent or bailee selected by the Agent in good faith. The Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the
Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of
the Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges,
assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. 
 13. Collection of Accounts, General
Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent or Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that such Grantor’s Accounts,
General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned to Agent, for the benefit of the itself and the ratable benefit of the Holders, or that Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect such Grantor’s
Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Transaction Documents. 
  

 20 

 14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Agent. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the
date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof
after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, Agent may approach only a restricted number of
potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on
the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Agent shall have the right to rely upon
the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the
best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Agent has handled the
disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. 
 15. Voting Rights. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Agent may, at its option, and with prior notice to any Grantor, and
in addition to all rights and remedies available to Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor,
but under no circumstances is Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Agent, such Grantor’s true
and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be.
The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. 
 (b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the
right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would adversely affect
the rights of Agent or any Holder or the value of the Pledged Interests. 
 16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (a) Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided
for herein, in the other Transaction Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor
expressly agrees that, in any such event, Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) 

  

 21 

 
to or upon any of Grantors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent
permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Agent
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the
extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days notice to any of Grantors of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such
notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been
given. Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 
 (b) Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s labels, Patents,
Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, other industrial or intellectual property or any property of a similar nature, whether owned
or licensable by any of Grantors or with respect to which any of Grantors have sublicensable rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements, as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any
Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Agent. 
 (c) Any
cash held by Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth
in Section 6.10 of the Indenture, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations of each Grantor in full, each Grantor shall remain liable for any such
deficiency in its Secured Obligations. 
 (d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial
transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the
properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Agent. 
 17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Agent as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in 

  

 22 

 
the other Transaction Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Agent, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. 
 18. Marshaling. Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral)
for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such
collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law
relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which
any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such
laws. 
 19. Indemnity and Expenses. 
 (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify Agent and the Holders from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including
enforcement of this Agreement) or any other Transaction Document to which such Grantor is a party, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Indenture and the repayment of the Secured Obligations. 
 (b) Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to Agent (or Agent, may charge to the Loan Account) all the expenses which Agent may incur
in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance
with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any of Grantors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 
 20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND
MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any
of Grantors herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No
amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and each of Grantors to which such amendment applies. 
  

 23 

 21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be
given in the form and manner and delivered to Agent at its address specified in the Indenture and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Indenture or a supplemental indenture, as applicable, or, as to any party, at
such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party. 
 22. Continuing Security Interest:
Assignments of the Notes. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash in accordance with the provisions of
the Transaction Documents, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Holder may, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Notes held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, the Security Interest granted hereby shall
terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Agent will file or authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements provided to it to terminate such Security Interest.
No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Indenture, any other Transaction Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any additional Advances or
other loans made by any Lender to Borrowers, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent, nor any other act of the Holders, or any of them, shall release any of Grantors
from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which
Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion. 
 23. Governing Law. THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONSTRUCTION,
INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK. 
 24. New Subsidiaries. Pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Indenture, any new direct or indirect Subsidiary
(whether by acquisition or creation) of any Borrower or any other Grantor is required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of Agent a supplement to this Agreement in the form of Annex 1 attached hereto. Upon the
execution and delivery of Annex 1 by such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder 

  

 24 

 
with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a
party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder. 
 25. Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Agent” shall be a
reference to Agent, for the benefit of itself and the ratable benefit of the Holders. 
 26. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission
shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Transaction
Document mutatis mutandis. 
 (b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (c) Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof.

 (d) The pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both singular and plural, and the grammatical construction
of sentences shall conform thereto. 
 (e) Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document clearly requires otherwise,
references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive
meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document refer to this Agreement or such
other Transaction Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this
Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals,
replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject 

  

 25 

 
to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set
forth herein). Any reference herein or in any other Transaction Document to the satisfaction or repayment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash (or cash collateralization in accordance with the terms hereof) of all
Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any Record so transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained therein. 
 (f) In connection with its execution and acting hereunder, Agent is entitled to all rights, privileges, protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities
provided to it as Trustee under the Indenture. 
 27. REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO
THE CONTRARY, THE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED TO THE AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF ITSELF AND THE HOLDERS, PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY BY THE AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL CONTROL.

	2.	Exchange Offer 

  

	 	(a)	Unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable laws or a policy of the SEC, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) (i) prepare and file with the
SEC promptly after the date hereof, but in no event later than the Filing Date, a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to an offer (the
“Exchange Offer”) exchange the Notes for Exchange Notes guaranteed by the Guarantors which shall have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Notes, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Date, (iii) use its best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective until the
consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with its terms, and (iv) commence the Exchange Offer and use its reasonable best efforts to issue on or prior to 30 days after the Effectiveness Date, Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes
tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.

  

	 	(b)	 The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes shall be issued under, and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or a trust indenture that is identical to the
Indenture (other than such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualifications thereof under the 

  

 4 

	 	 
TIA) which in either case will provide that (i) the Exchange Notes will not be subject to the transfer restrictions or additional interest provisions
set forth in the Indenture, (ii) the Private Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and (iii) the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Notes, if any, will be deemed one class of
security (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) and entitled to participate in all the security granted by the Company pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and in any Guarantee (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) on an equal and
ratable basis. 

  

	 	(c)	Interest on the Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes will accrue from (i) the later of (x) the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Notes
surrendered in exchange therefor or (y) if the Note is surrendered for exchange on a date in a period which includes the record date for an interest payment date to occur on or after the date of such exchange and as to which interest will be
paid, the date of such interest payment date or (ii) if no interest has been paid on the Notes, from Issue Date. Each Exchange Note and Private Exchange Note shall bear interest at the rate set forth thereon; provided, that interest with
respect to the period prior to the issuance thereof shall accrue at the rate or rates borne by the Notes from time to time during such period. 

  

	 	(d)	The Company may require each Holder as a condition to participation in the Exchange Offer to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer,
(i) any Exchange Notes received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of commencement and consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder has not entered into any arrangement or
understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate” (as
defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of the Company or if such Holder is an affiliate such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder
is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Notes and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange
for Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, that it will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. 

  

	 	(e)	 The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled
“Plan of Distribution” reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser which shall contain all of the information that the SEC may require 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 for its own account in exchange for Notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making 

  

 5 

	 	 
activities or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated
by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also allow, 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 so permitted, all Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a
statement describing the manner in which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes. The Company shall use its 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 such Persons must comply with such requirements
in order to resell the Exchange Notes (the “Applicable Period”). 

  

	 	(f)	If, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchaser holds any Notes acquired by it and having the status of an unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the
Company (upon the written request from the Initial Purchaser) shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to the Initial Purchaser in exchange (the “Private
Exchange”) for the Notes held by the Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount at maturity of debt securities of the Company, including guarantees endorsed thereon (issued under the same Indenture as the Exchange Notes) that are identical
in all material respects to the Exchange Notes except for the existence of restrictions on transfer thereof under the Securities Act and securities laws of the several states of the United States (the “Private Exchange Notes”). The
Private Exchange Notes shall bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes. 

  

	 	(g)	In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to): 

  

	 	(i)	mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal (substantially in the form
attached as an exhibit to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) and any related documents; 

  

	 	(ii)	keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 Business Days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders;

  

	 	(iii)	utilize the services of a depository for the Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate thereof;

  

 6 

	 	(iv)	permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Notes at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain
open; and 

  

	 	(v)	otherwise comply with all applicable laws. 

  

	 	(h)	As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to):

  

	 	(i)	accept for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be; 

  

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

  

	 	(iii)	cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder tendering such Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, equal in
principal amount at maturity to the Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange. 

  

	 	(i)	If, (i) any change in law or in applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the SEC would not permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer
is not consummated within 30 Business Days after the Effectiveness Date, (iii) the Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to the Notes (or the Private Exchange Notes) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer and
held by it following consummation of the Exchange Offer, or (iv) in the case of (A) any Holder not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, (B) any Holder participating in the Exchange Offer that receives Exchange Notes that
may not be sold or transferred without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act) or (C) any Participating
Broker Dealer holds Notes acquired directly from the Company or one of its affiliates, then in each case the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holders and the Trustee notice thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and shall as promptly as
practicable and at its sole expense file an Initial Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3. 

  

	3.	Shelf Registration 

 If a Shelf Notice is
delivered pursuant to Section 2(i), then this Section 3 shall apply to all Registrable Notes. Otherwise, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with Section 2, the provisions of this
Section 3 shall apply solely with respect to (i) Notes held by any Holder thereof not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, (ii) Private Exchange Notes, and (iii) Exchange Notes that are not freely tradeable as
contemplated by Section 2(i)(iv) hereof, provided in each case that the relevant Holder has duly notified the Company within six months of the Exchange Offer as required by Section 2(i)(iv). 
  

 7 

	 	(a)	Initial Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), use its reasonable best efforts to, 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 Statement”) within 30 days of the delivery of the Shelf Notice and
shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Initial Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event more than 90 days
after delivery of the Shelf Notice); provided, however, that if the Company (and each Guarantor) has not yet filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file (and shall cause
each Guarantor to file) with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration Statement on or prior to the Filing Date and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Initial Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities
Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date. The Initial Shelf Registration Statement 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 reasonably
designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings). The Company and Guarantors shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Notes to be included in any Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall
(and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is two years from the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness
Period”), or such shorter period ending when (i) all Registrable Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration Statement have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement,
(ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below) covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement has been
declared effective under the Securities Act or (iii) there cease to be any outstanding Registrable Notes. 

  

	 	(b)	 Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any
reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than during a because of the sale of all of the securities registered thereunder), the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its 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 designed to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the
effectiveness thereof, or file (and cause each Guarantor to file) an additional “shelf” registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Registration Statement or
any earlier Registration Statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after 

  

 8 

	 	 
such filing and to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement 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 Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement was previously continuously effective. As used herein the term “Shelf Registration
Statement” means the Initial Shelf Registration Statement and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statements. 

  

	 	(c)	Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall promptly amend any Shelf Registration Statement and/or amend or supplement the Prospectus constituting a part thereof if
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf Registration Statement or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes. 

  

	 	(d)	Provision of Information. No Holder shall be entitled to include any of its Registrable Notes in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless such
Holder furnishes to the Company and the Trustee in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor, such information as the Company and the Trustee, after conferring with counsel with regard to information relating to Holders
that would be required by the SEC to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, may reasonably request for inclusion in any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, and no such Holder shall
be entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 4 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided such information. 

  

	 	(e)	Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon notice to Holders, the Company may suspend 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 12-month period if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that
(1) 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 and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, or (2) the
disclosure otherwise relates to a material business transaction which has not been publicly disclosed and that any such disclosure would jeopardize the success of the transaction or that disclosure of the transaction is prohibited pursuant to the
terms thereof. 

  

 9 

	4.	Additional Interest 

  

	 	(a)	The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holders of Registrable Notes will suffer damages if the Company fails to fulfill its material 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 Company agrees to pay additional cash 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 Statement has been filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Date or
(B) notwithstanding that the Company has consummated or will consummate an Exchange Offer, the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement and such Shelf Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the date required by
this Agreement, then, commencing on the day after either such required filing date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount at maturity of such Notes
for the first 90 days immediately following such filing date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period, subject to the provisos in the last sentence of this
paragraph; 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration Statement is declared
effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, (B) notwithstanding that the Company has consummated or will consummate an Exchange Offer, the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement and such Shelf Registration
Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the 90th day following the date such Shelf Registration Statement was filed, then, commencing
on the day after either such required effective date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount at maturity of such Notes for the first 90 days
immediately following such effective date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period, subject to the provisos in the last sentence of this paragraph;

  

	 	(iii)	 if (A) the Company (and any Guarantor) has not exchanged Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer on or
prior to 30 days after the Effectiveness Date, (B) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement ceases to be effective any time prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, (C) if applicable, a Shelf Registration Statement has been
declared effective and such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Issue Date (other than during a Blackout Period or after such time as all Notes have been disposed of thereunder), or
(D) the Company issues a valid notice to suspend the use of the Prospectus included in any Shelf Registration Statement and such suspension, when taken together with all other suspensions, if any (but solely to the extent not concurrent),
during any 12 month period exceeds 60 days, then, in each case, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above 

  

 10 

	 	 
any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the first 90 days commencing on (x) the 31st Business Day after the Effectiveness Date, in the case of clause (A) above, (y) the day such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf
Registration Statement ceases to be effective or useable, in the case of clause (B) or (C) above, as applicable or (z) the day the Prospectus in any Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be useable, (in the case of clause
(D) above, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period, subject to the provisos in the last sentence of this paragraph; 

 provided, however, that Additional Interest will not accrue under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) at any
one time; provided further, however, that the amount of Additional Interest accruing on the Notes shall not exceed at any one time in the aggregate 1.0% per annum; and provided further, however, that (1) upon
the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Initial Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of clause (i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (in
the case of clause (ii) above), (3) upon the exchange of Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered (in the case of clause (iii)(A) above), (4) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration
Statement, as the case may be, which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clauses (iii)(B) or (iii)(C) above), or (5) upon the day the Prospectus in any Shelf Registration Statement the use of which was previously suspended may be
used again (in the case of clause (iii)(C) above), Additional Interest on the Notes as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. 
  

	 	(b)	The Company shall notify the Trustee within 3 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)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash, on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Indenture for interest payments on the Notes and whether or not any cash interest would then be payable on such date, commencing with the first such semi-annual 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 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.

	5.	Intentionally Omitted 

  

	6.	Registration Procedures 

 In connection with
the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) effect such registrations to permit the sale of such 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 Company hereunder, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to): 
  

	 	(a)	Prepare and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after the date hereof but in any event on or prior to the Filing Date, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or if the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed because of the circumstances contemplated by Section 2(i), a Shelf Registration Statement as prescribed by Section 3, and use its best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to
become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided that, if (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), if requested, furnish at no charge to the Holders of the Registrable Notes to be registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, each Participating
Broker-Dealer, the managing underwriters, if any, and each of their respective counsel, 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 Company shall not (and shall not allow any of the Guarantors to) file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto in respect of which the Holders must provide information for the inclusion therein without the Holders being afforded an opportunity to review such documentation if the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Notes covered by such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or the managing underwriters, if any, or any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing on a timely basis. A Holder shall
be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act. 

  

	 	(b)	 Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes, the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture (or other
indenture relating to the Registrable Notes) to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement; and in connection 

  

 12 

	 	 
therewith, to effect such changes 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. 

  

	 	(c)	Prepare and file with the SEC such pre-effective 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 or the Applicable Period, 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 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to them
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 a Participating Broker-Dealer
covered by any such Prospectus. The Company shall not (and shall not allow any Guarantor to) file, during the Applicable Period, voluntarily take any action that would result in selling Holders of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration
Statement 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, rule or regulation or permitted by
this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	Furnish to such selling Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers who so request in writing (i) upon the Company’s receipt, a copy of the order of the SEC declaring such
Registration Statement and any post effective amendment thereto effective, (ii) such reasonable number of copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including any documents incorporated
therein by reference and all exhibits), (iii) such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and each amendment and supplement thereto, and such reasonable
number of copies of the final Prospectus as filed by the Company and each Guarantor pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and each amendment and supplement thereto, and
(iv) such other documents (including any amendments required to be filed pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 6), as any such Person may reasonably request in writing. The Company hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus 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. 

  

 13 

	 	(e)	If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2 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, the Company shall notify in writing the selling Holders of
Registrable Notes, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the managing underwriters, if any, and each of their respective counsel promptly (but in any event within two Business Days) (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 (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may,
upon request, obtain, without charge, 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 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 the representations and warranties of the Company and any Guarantor contained in any agreement (including any
underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 6(n)) hereof cease to be true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by the Company or any Guarantor 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 of 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 and the
Prospectus, 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, (vi) of any reasonable determination by the Company or any Guarantor that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (vii) of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration
Statement or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto. 

  

	 	(f)	Use its 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 best
efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible date. 

  

 14 

	 	(g)	If (A) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3, (B) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period or (C) reasonably requested in writing by the managing underwriters, if any, or
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information or
revisions to information therein relating to such underwriters or selling Holders as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holders or any of their respective counsel reasonably request in writing to be included or made therein and
(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 supplements or post-effective
amendment. 

  

	 	(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 cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the 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 or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, 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 any managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, reasonably request in writing; and, if Exchange Notes held by Participating
Broker-Dealers or Registrable Notes are offered other than through an underwritten offering, the Company and each Guarantor shall cause its counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and use its reasonable best efforts to file any registrations and
qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 6(h), use its reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to
be kept effective and use its reasonable best efforts to do any and all other acts or things reasonably 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 that neither the Company nor any Guarantor 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 any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

  

 15 

	 	(i)	If (A) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (B) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2 is requested to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, 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 and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may reasonably request in writing.

  

	 	(j)	Use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such United States governmental agencies or
authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Notes, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling
Holder’s business, in which case the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals; provided that neither the Company nor
any Guarantor 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 jurisdiction where it is not then
so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 

  

	 	(k)	If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2 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 Section 6(e)(v) or 6(e)(vi)
hereof, as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the SEC, at the expense of the Company and the Guarantors, 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 or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom
such Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, if SEC review is required, use its best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as possible. 

  

 16 

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

  

	 	(m)	Prior to the initial issuance of the Exchange Notes, (i) provide the Trustee with one or more certificates for the Registrable Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The
Depository Trust Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the Exchange Notes. 

  

	 	(n)	 If a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3, enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance
as is customary in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances) and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested in writing by the managing
underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of such Registrable Notes, and in such connection, whether
or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the
Company and its subsidiaries as then conducted, and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by
issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances, and confirm the same if and when reasonably required; (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain an opinion
of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Registrable Notes being sold), addressed to each selling Holder and each of the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors requested in underwritten offerings
of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances; (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof (which letters and updates (in form, scope and substance)
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters) from the independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants 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 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 Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances, and such other matters as reasonably
requested in writing by the underwriters; and 

  

 17 

	 	 
(iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes being sold and the managing underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with
any conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other similar agreement entered into by the Company or any Guarantor. 

  

	 	(o)	If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2 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 selling Holder of such Registrable Notes being
sold, 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, as the case may be, or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records and pertinent corporate
documents of the Company and its subsidiaries (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 Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested in writing by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that it will keep the Records confidential and
not disclose any of the Records unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or
other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the information in such Records is public or has been made generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Inspector or
(iv) disclosure of such information is, in the reasonable written opinion of counsel for any Inspector, necessary or advisable in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving
such Inspector and arising out of, based upon, related to, or involving this Agreement, or any transaction contemplated hereby or arising hereunder. Each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be
required to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such information is
made generally available to the public. Each Inspector, each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought
in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and, to the extent practicable, use its best efforts to allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential at
its expense. 

  

 18 

	 	(p)	Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to the security holders of the Company with regard to any applicable Registration Statement
earning statements 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 12-month period (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 an Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, use reasonable best efforts to obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (in form, scope and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser), addressed to the Trustee for the benefit of all Holders participating in the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as the case may be, to the effect that (i) the Company and the
Guarantors have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture, (ii) the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be subject to customary United States and
foreign exceptions and (iii) all obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture are secured by Liens (as defined in the Indenture) on the assets
securing the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements to the extent and as discussed in the Registration Statement. 

  

	 	(r)	If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Notes by the Holders to the Company and the Guarantors (or to such other Person as
directed by the Company and the Guarantors) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantors shall mark, or cause to be marked, on such Registrable Notes that the Exchange Notes or
the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, are being issued as substitute evidence of the indebtedness originally evidenced by the Registrable Notes; provided that in no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise
satisfied. 

  

	 	(s)	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 NASD. 

  

 19 

	 	(t)	Use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement contemplated
hereby. 

  

	 	(u)	The Company may require each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information
regarding such seller or Participating Broker-Dealer and the distribution of such Registrable Notes as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Notes of any
seller who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time (which time in no event shall exceed 30 days) after receiving such request. Each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being
effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished by such seller not materially misleading. 

 Each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by
such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(e)(ii), 6(e)(iv), 6(e)(v), or 6(e)(vi), such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement and such Participating Broker-Dealer will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Exchange Notes pursuant to any Prospectus and, in each case, forthwith
discontinue dissemination of such Prospectus until such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k), or until it is advised in writing (the
“Advice”) by the Company and the Guarantors that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto and, if so directed by the Company and the Guarantors, such
Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such
Registrable Notes current at the time of the receipt of such notice. In the event the Company and the Guarantors shall give any such notice, the Applicable 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 Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k) or (y) the Advice. 

 

	7.	Registration Expenses 

  

	 	(a)	 All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company, whether or not the Exchange

	 	(b)	The Company shall reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel chosen by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Registrable Notes to be included in any Registration Statement. The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of the Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes in
exchange for the Notes; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay taxes payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any Exchange Note or Private Exchange Note in a name other than that of the Holder

of any rights of the Holders under this Agreement. 

  

 21 

	8.	Indemnification 

  

	 	(a)	Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes and each
Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, each Person, if any, who controls each such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) and the
officers, directors and partners of each such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer and controlling person, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation,
reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees as provided in this Section 8) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or
defending against any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses are based upon information relating to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer and
furnished in writing to the Company and the Guarantors (or reviewed and approved in writing) by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer or their counsel expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable to any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under this Section 8 to the extent Losses were caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that was contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and
corrected in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto if (i) the Prospectus does not contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact that was the subject matter of the
related proceedings, (ii) any such Losses resulted from an action, claim or suit by any Person who purchased Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes which are the subject thereof from such Indemnified Party and (iii) it is established in the
related proceeding that such Indemnified Party failed to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to such Person with or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes sold to such
Person if required by applicable law, unless such failure to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 6 of this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify
underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, its officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders or the Participating Broker-Dealer. 

  

 22 

	 	(b)	Indemnification by Holder. In connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus
in which a Holder is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company and the Guarantors in writing such information as the Company and the Guarantors reasonably request for use in connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or
form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and each Person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantors
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers and partners of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against all Losses arising out of
or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission
or alleged omission to state therein 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 to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such losses are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, unappealable order to have resulted from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material
fact contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company and the Guarantors expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in
amount than such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount (as defined below). 

  

	 	(c)	Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified
Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnifying Parties”, as applicable) in writing;
provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from any obligation or liability except to the extent (but only to the extent) that it shall be finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal) that the Indemnifying Parties have been prejudiced materially by such failure. 

 The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party, within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such proceeding, to
assume, at its expense, the defense of any such proceeding, provided, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party 

  

 23 

 
has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding or shall
have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or any of its
affiliates or controlling persons, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in addition to, or in conflict with, those defenses available to the
Indemnifying Party or such affiliate or controlling person (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying
Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it being understood, however, that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with
any one such proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Party). 
 No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any
settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each Indemnifying
Party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party
shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto). 
  

	 	(d)	 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified
Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section 8), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such statement or omission. The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any 

  

 24 

	 	 
legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees
or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) was available to such party. 

 The parties
hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by another method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), a selling Holder shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount. A
selling Holder’s “Maximum Contribution Amount” shall equal the excess of (i) the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to the sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes over (ii) the aggregate
amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective
principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint. 
 The indemnity and contribution agreements
contained in this Section 8 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. 
  

	9.	Rules 144 and 144A 

 The Company covenants
that it shall (a) file the reports required to be filed by it (if so required) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written
request of any Holder of Registrable Notes, make publicly available other information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 and 144A and (b) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Notes without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such
Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information and requirements. 
  

	10.	Underwritten Registrations of Registrable Notes 

 If any of the Registrable Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement 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 to be included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers must be reasonably
acceptable to the Company. 
  

 25 

 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. 
  

	11.	Miscellaneous 

  

	 	(a)	Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
herein, in the Indenture or, in the case of the Initial Purchaser, in the Purchase Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that
monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by the Company of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect
of such breach, the Company shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

  

	 	(b)	No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, and the Company and each of the Guarantors shall not enter, after the date of this Agreement,
into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company has not entered and the Company and
the Guarantors will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that will grant to any Person piggy-back rights with respect to a Registration Statement. 

  

	 	(c)	Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes. The Company 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 to include such Registrable Notes in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may
not be given, other than with the prior written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Notes in circumstances that would adversely affect any Holders of Registrable Notes;
provided, however, that Section 8 and this Section 11(d) may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder. 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 tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or sold pursuant to a Notes Registration Statement and that does not
directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Notes may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being tendered or being sold by such
Holders pursuant to such Notes Registration Statement.

illegal, void or unenforceable. 

  

	 	(k)	Securities Held by the Company or Its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held
by the Company or its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

Persons.
