	 	2.	Registration Under the Securities Act. 

 (a) The Company agrees to file under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the Closing Date, a shelf registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or
delayed basis by the Holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission; provided that such registration statement shall be an “automatic shelf registration
statement,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, if the Company is eligible to use automatic shelf registration statements at the time of filing. If the Shelf Registration Statement is not an automatic shelf
registration statement, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible, but in any event no later than 90 days after the Closing Date. Subject to
the Company’s right to suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 3(b), the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of
(i) the first anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) such time as each of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be a Registrable Security (as defined herein) (the “Effective
Period”). 
 (b) The Company further agrees that it shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement, the related
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, and as of the date of any such amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of
the Securities Act and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and the Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities seeking to sell Securities pursuant to such amendment or supplement, and to any other Holder, such number
of copies as such Holders may reasonably request of any supplement or amendment prior to its being used or promptly following its filing with the Commission; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to Holders
of Registrable Securities copies of any amendment consisting exclusively of an Exchange Act report or other Exchange Act or Securities Act filing otherwise publicly available through links on the Company’s website or in the Commission’s
EDGAR database. If the Shelf Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time, ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effective Period (other than because all Registrable Securities registered thereunder
shall have been sold pursuant thereto or shall have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof. 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to include any of their
Registrable Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company the Notice and Questionnaire and such other information in writing as the Company may reasonably request in
writing for use in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein. The Company shall issue one or more press releases through a reputable national newswire service of its filing of (or intention to designate an
automatic shelf registration statement as) the Shelf Registration Statement and of the anticipated filing date thereof. In order 

  

 -4- 

 
to be named as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus at the time it is first made available for use, each Holder must furnish the completed Notice and
Questionnaire and such other information that the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, to the Company in writing no later than the tenth Business Day prior to the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (d) From and after the date the Shelf Registration Statement is initially effective, the Company shall, as promptly as is practicable
after the date a proper Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, and in any event within (x) ten (10) Business Days after the date such Notice and Questionnaire is received by the Company or (y) if a Notice and Questionnaire is so
received during a Deferral Period, the later of the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date such Notice and Questionnaire is received by the Company or the fifth (5th) Business Day after the expiration of such Deferral Period, 

(i) if required by applicable law, file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or prepare
and, if required by applicable law, file a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that the Holder delivering such Notice and
Questionnaire is named as a selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with
applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement and such amendment is not automatically effective, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared
or to otherwise become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable; 
 (ii) provide such Holder with as
many copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) as such Holder may reasonably request in connection with the Securities covered by such Holder’s Notice and Questionnaire; and 
 (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any
 post-effective amendment
filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i); 
 provided that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, the
Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(b).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in any Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus; provided,
however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(d) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the time the Shelf Registration Statement was declared or otherwise become effective)
shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2(d). 
  

 -5- 

 (e) If any of the following events (any such event a “Registration
Default”) shall occur, then additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) shall become payable by the Company to Holders in respect of the Notes as follows: 
 (i) if the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission within 30 days following the Closing Date (other than a
Registration Default relating to a failure to file a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the Shares), then commencing on the 31st day after the Closing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the outstanding Notes
at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days following such 30th day and at a rate of 0.5% per annum thereafter; or 
 (ii) if the Shelf Registration Statement has not become or is not declared effective by the Commission within 90 days following the Closing Date (other than a Registration Default relating to a failure to have a Shelf Registration Statement
effective with respect to Shares), then commencing on the 91st day after the Closing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the outstanding Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days following such 90th
day and at a rate of 0.50% per annum thereafter; or 
 (iii) if the Company has failed to perform its obligations set
forth in Section 2(d) hereof within the time periods required therein, then, commencing on the first day after the date by which the Company was required to perform such obligations, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of
the outstanding Notes that are Registrable Securities and for which a Holder has delivered a Notice and Questionnaire under Section 2(d) with respect to which the Company has failed to perform its obligations set forth in Section 2(d)
hereof, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days and at a rate of 0.50% per annum thereafter; 
 (iv) if
the Shelf Registration Statement has become or been declared effective but such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time during the Effective Period (other than a Registration Default relating to a failure to have a Shelf
Registration Statement effective with respect to Shares or pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof), then, commencing on the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the
outstanding Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days following such date on which the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective and at a rate of 0.50% per annum thereafter; or 
 (v) if the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period pursuant to
Section 3(b) hereof, then, commencing on the day the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period (and again on the first day of any subsequent Deferral Period during such
period), Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the outstanding Notes that are Registrable Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days and at a rate of 0.50% per annum thereafter; 
 provided, however, that the Additional Interest rate on the Notes shall not exceed in the aggregate 0.50% per annum and shall not be payable
under more than one clause above for any given period of time, except that if Additional Interest would be payable under more than one clause above, 

  

 -6- 

 
but at a rate of 0.25% per annum under one clause and at a rate of 0.50% per annum under the other, then the Additional Interest rate shall be the
higher rate of 0.50% per annum; provided further, however, that (1) upon the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of clause (i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (in
the case of clause (ii) above), (3) upon the performance by the Company of its obligations set forth in Section 2(d) hereof (in the case of clause (iii) above), (4) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (iv) above), (5) upon the termination of the Deferral Period that caused the limit on the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in a period set forth in Section 3(b) to be
exceeded (in the case of clause (v) above) or (6) upon the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the Closing Date or (B) when the Notes are no longer Registrable Securities (in the case of each of clauses (i) –
(v) above), Additional Interest on the Notes as a result of such clause, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. 
 Additional Interest on the Notes, if any, will be payable in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year (the “Additional Interest Payment Date”) to holders of record of outstanding Notes that are Registrable
Securities at the close of business on January 15 or July 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date in the manner and subject to the exceptions provided for the payment
of regular interest on the Notes as set forth in the Indenture; provided that in the case of an event of the type described in clause (iii) above, such Additional Interest shall be paid only to the Holders of Restricted Securities.
Following the cure of all Registration Defaults requiring the payment of Additional Interest to the Holders of Notes that are Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the accrual of Additional Interest will cease (without in any way limiting
the effect of any subsequent Registration Default requiring the payment of Additional Interest). 
 Additional Interest will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. 
 The Company shall notify the Trustee
immediately upon the happening of each and every Registration Default. The Trustee shall be entitled, on behalf of Holders of Securities, to seek any available remedy for the enforcement of this Agreement, including for the payment of any Additional
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the sole monetary damages payable for a violation of the terms of this Agreement with respect to which additional monetary amounts are expressly provided shall be as set forth in this
Section 2(e). Nothing shall preclude a Notice Holder or Holder of Registrable Securities from pursuing or obtaining specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Agreement. 
  

	 	3.	Registration Procedures. 

 The following provisions
shall apply to the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2: 
 (a) The Company shall: 
 (i) before filing any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto with the Commission, furnish to

(3) Business Days of the delivery of such copies to the Notice Holders; 
  

 -7- 

 (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and post-effective amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement and file with the Commission any other required document as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the expiration of the
Effective Period; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement during the Effective Period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers
thereof set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement as so amended or such Prospectus as so supplemented; 
 (iii) as
promptly as reasonably practicable, notify the Notice Holders of Registrable Securities (A) when such Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or post-effective amendment
has been filed with the Commission, and, with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same is declared or has become effective (provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation
to deliver to Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any amendment consisting exclusively of an Exchange Act report or other Securities Act filing otherwise publicly available through the links on the Company’s website or in the
Commission’s EDGAR database), (B) of any request, following the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Shelf
Registration Statement or related Prospectus, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation or written threat of any proceedings for that purpose,

material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus shall 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided, however, that no notice by the Company shall be required pursuant to this
clause (E) in the event that the Company either promptly files a prospectus supplement to update the Prospectus or a Form 8-K or other appropriate Exchange Act report that is incorporated by reference into the Shelf Registration Statement,
which, in either case, contains the requisite information with respect to such Material Event that results in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, no longer containing any untrue statement of material fact or omitting
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), (F) of the determination by the Company that a post-effective

 -8- 

 
purpose of naming a Notice Holder as a selling security holder therein) will be filed with the Commission, which notice may, at the discretion of the Company
(or as required pursuant to Section 3(b)), state that it constitutes a Deferral Notice, in which event the provisions of Section 3(b) shall apply or (G) at any time when a Prospectus is required (or but for the exemption contained in
Rule 172 would be required) to be delivered under the Securities Act, that the Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus, Prospectus amendment, supplement or post-effective amendment does not conform in all material respects to the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; 
 (iv) prior to any public offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or cooperate with the Notice Holders of Securities included therein
and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any such Notice Holders reasonably requests
in writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; prior to any public offering of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effective Period in connection with such Notice Holder’s
offer and sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such
Registrable Securities in the manner set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus; provided that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 
 (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of, and if issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, and to lift any suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction in which they have been qualified for sale,
in each case at the earliest practicable date; 
 (vi) upon reasonable notice, for a reasonable period prior to the filing of
the Shelf Registration Statement, and throughout the Effective Period, (i) make reasonably available for inspection by a representative of, and Special Counsel acting for, Majority Holders of the Securities being sold (if such Special Counsel
is requested by the Majority Holders) and any underwriter (and its counsel) participating in any disposition of Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (collectively, the “Shelf Inspectors”), all relevant financial
and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to have its officers, directors, employees, accountants and counsel supply all relevant information reasonably
requested by such representative, Special Counsel or any such underwriter in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement, in each case as is reasonable and customary for similar “due diligence” examinations; provided,
however, that with respect 

  

 -9- 

 
to any Special Counsel engaged by the Majority Holders, the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated by one counsel designated by
the Majority Holders and provided further that as a condition to the Company’s obligations under this clause (vi), the Shelf Inspectors shall expressly agree to maintain disclosed information in confidence to the extent the
Company’s disclosure of such information to the Shelf Inspectors would otherwise violate Regulation FD of the Commission; 
 (vii) if requested by Majority Holders of the Securities being sold in an underwriting, its Special Counsel or the managing underwriters (if any) in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion relating to the Shelf Registration Statement and the Securities in a customary form, (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates requested by the Majority
Holders of the Securities being sold, their Special Counsel or the managing underwriters (if any) and (iii) its independent registered public accounting firm to provide a comfort letter or letters relating to the Shelf Registration Statement in
a reasonable and customary form, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72 or any successor statement thereto, covering matters of the type customarily
covered in comfort letters in connection with secondary underwritten offerings; 
 (viii) if reasonably requested by any
Notice Holder as a result of the “due diligence” examinations referred to in Section 3(a)(vi) above, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement such information as
such Notice Holder shall, on the basis of a written opinion of nationally recognized counsel experienced in such matters, determine to be required to be included therein by applicable law and make any required filings of such prospectus supplement
or such post-effective amendment; provided, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 3(a)(viii) that are not, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;

 (ix) as promptly as practicable furnish to each Notice Holder, upon their request and without charge, at least one
(1) conformed copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, including financial statements but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits;
provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to Notice Holders a copy of any amendment consisting exclusively of an Exchange Act report or other Exchange Act filing otherwise publicly available on the Company’s
website or in the Commission’s EDGAR database; 
 (x) during the Effective Period, deliver to each Notice Holder in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, upon their request and without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities (including each preliminary prospectus)
and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Notice Holder may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents (except during such periods that a Deferral Notice is outstanding and has not been revoked) to the use of such Prospectus or each
amendment or supplement thereto by each Notice Holder in connection with any offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in the manner set forth therein and subject to applicable
law; 
  

 -10- 

 (xi) cooperate with the Notice Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations as permitted by the Indenture and registered in such names as the Holders thereof may request
in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to sales of Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement; and 
 (xii) not use, authorize the use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities,
without the consent of Holders of Registrable Securities who are seeking to sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or relevant supplement or amendment thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (b) Upon (A) the issuance by the Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the
initiation of proceedings with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any Material Event as a result of which the Shelf Registration
Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus shall 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) the occurrence or existence of any
corporate development that, in the good faith discretion of the Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, the Company will (i) in the case of clause (B) above,
subject to the second sentence of this provision, as promptly as practicable prepare and file an amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any
other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus so that such Shelf Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such Prospectus does 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter delivered or made available to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, and, in the case of a
post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, subject to the second sentence of this provision, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective or otherwise become effective as promptly as practicable and

may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (A) above, as promptly as practicable, (y) in the case of clause (B) above, as soon as, in the sole judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be
prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as practicable thereafter and (z) in the case of clause (C) above, as soon as, in the discretion of the Company,
such suspension is no 

  

 -11- 

 
longer appropriate; provided that the period during which the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended (the
“Deferral Period”), without the Company incurring any obligation to pay Additional Interest pursuant to Section 2(e), shall not exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month
period. The Company need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to a Deferral Notice in any notice to holders of the Registrable Securities of the existing of a Deferral Notice. 
 (c) Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that upon receipt of any Deferral Notice from the Company, such Holder shall forthwith
discontinue (and cause any placement or sales agent or underwriters acting on their behalf to discontinue) the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder (i) shall have received copies
of such amended or supplemented Prospectus (including copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus) required under clause (i) of Section 3(b) and, if so
directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time
of receipt of such notice and (ii) shall have received notice from the Company that the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement may continue. 
 (d) The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) is being
effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, but only to the
extent that such information is required in order to comply with the Securities Act. 
 (e) The Company shall comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its securityholders earning statements (which need not be audited) 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) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal
quarter of the Company commencing after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods. 
 (f) The Company shall provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement and provide the Trustee
and the transfer agent for the Shares with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities that are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. 
 (g) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information as is required for any filings required to be made
with FINRA. 
 (h) Until the expiration of the Effective Period, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Affiliates, to the extent the Company controls such Affiliates, to, resell any of the Securities that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. 
  

 -12- 

 (i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Indenture to be
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in a timely manner and shall enter into any necessary supplemental indentures in connection therewith. 
 (j) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements and take such other reasonable and lawful actions in connection therewith (including those requested by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities
being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate disposition of such Registrable Securities. 
  

	 	4.	Holders’ Obligations. 

 (a)
Each Holder agrees, by acquisition of the Registrable Securities, that no Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating
thereto, unless such Holder has furnished the Company with a Notice and Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof (including the information required to be included in such Notice and Questionnaire) and the information set forth
in the next sentence. Each Notice Holder agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by such Notice Holder to the Company or of the occurrence of any event in either case as
a result of which any Prospectus relating to such registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Notice Holder or such Notice Holder’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities
or omits to state any material fact regarding such Notice Holder or such Notice Holder’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
promptly to furnish to the Company (i) any additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required so that such Prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Notice Holder or the disposition
of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) any other information regarding such
Notice Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as may be reasonably required to be disclosed in the Shelf Registration Statement under applicable law. Each Holder further agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement without delivering, causing to be delivered, or, if permitted by applicable law, making available, a Prospectus to the purchaser thereof and, following termination of the Effective Period, to notify the Company,
within ten (10) Business Days of a request by the Company, of the amount of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and, in the absence of a response, the Company may assume that all of the Holder’s
Registrable Securities were so sold in compliance with applicable law and this Agreement. 
 (b) Any sale of any Registrable
Securities by any Holder shall constitute a representation and warranty by such Holder that the information relating to such Holder and its plan of distribution is as set forth in the Prospectus delivered by such Holder in connection with such
disposition, that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to or provided by such Holder or its plan of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale
omit to state any material fact relating to or provided by such Holder or its plan of distribution necessary to make the statements in such Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each Holder further
agrees that such Holder will not make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under 

  

 -13- 

 
the Securities Act) or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) required to be
filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Securities Act, unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Company. 
  

	 	5.	Registration Expenses. 

 The Company agrees to bear
and to pay or cause to be paid promptly after request being made therefor all fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, (a) all Commission and any NASD
registration and filing fees and expenses, (b) all fees and expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under the State securities and Blue Sky laws referred to in Section 3(a)(v) hereof, including
reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the placement agent or underwriters, if any, in connection with such qualifications, (c) all expenses relating to the preparation, printing, distribution and reproduction of the Shelf
Registration Statement, the related Prospectus, each amendment or supplement to each of the foregoing, the certificates representing the Securities and all other documents relating hereto, (d) fees and expenses of the Trustee under the
Indenture, any escrow agent or custodian, and of the registrar and transfer agent for the Shares, (e) fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any
opinions or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance) and (f) reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of one counsel for all Holders of Registrable Securities retained in connection with
the Shelf Registration Statement, as selected by the Company (unless reasonably objected to by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities being registered, in which case the Majority Holders shall select such counsel for the Holders)
(“Special Counsel”), and fees, expenses and disbursements of any other Persons, including special experts, retained by the Company in connection with such registration (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”). To
the extent that any Registration Expenses are incurred, assumed or paid by any Holder of Registrable Securities or any underwriter or placement agent therefor, the Company shall reimburse such Person for the full amount of the Registration Expenses
so incurred, assumed or paid promptly after receipt of a documented request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders of the Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and placement agent
fees and commissions attributable to the sale of such Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained by such Holders (severally or jointly), other than the counsel and experts specifically
referred to above. 
  

	 	6.	Indemnification. 

 (a) The Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Notice Holder, its Affiliates, their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such Notice Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 6 and Section 7 as an “Indemnified Holder”) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof
(including, without limitation, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Securities), to which that Indemnified Holder may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any such Shelf Registration Statement or any Prospectus forming part thereof, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a 

  

 -14- 

 
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and shall reimburse each Indemnified Holder promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Indemnified Holder in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against or
appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with any information provided by
such Indemnified Holder in its Notice and Questionnaire or otherwise provided by such Indemnified Holder in writing to the Company expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may
otherwise have. 
 (b) Each Notice Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, their respective
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 6(b) and
Section 7 as the Company), from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any such Shelf Registration Statement or any Prospectus forming part thereof, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and
in conformity with any information furnished to the Company by the Notice Holder in its Notice and Questionnaire or otherwise in writing by such Notice Holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that no such Notice Holder shall be liable for any indemnity claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Notice Holder from the sale of Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any such Notice Holder may otherwise have. 
 (c) If any
suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph 6(a) or 6(b) above, the
indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought in writing of such suit, action, proceeding, claim or demand; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the
failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an 

  

 -15- 

 
indemnified party and it shall have notified the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party (who shall not, without the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) to represent the indemnified party and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 that the indemnifying
party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the
right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the
indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are
different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of
both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such
separate firm for the Company, its directors and officers and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the indemnifying party
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request and more than 30 days after notice of
such settlement is received by the indemnifying party and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such
indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (d) The provisions of this Section 6 and Section 7 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of any Notice Holder, the Company, or any of the indemnified Persons referred to in this Section 6 and Section 7, and shall survive the sale by a Notice Holder of Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement.

  

 -16- 

	 	7.	Contribution. 

 If the indemnification provided for
in Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 6(a) or 6(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company from the offering and sale of the
Notes, on the one hand, and a Holder with respect to the sale by such Holder of Securities, on the other, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such Holder on the other with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage
or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and a Holder on the other with respect to such offering and such sale shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received by or on behalf of the Company, on the one hand, and the total net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by such
Holder upon a resale of the Securities, on the other, bear to the total gross proceeds from the sale of all Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement in the offering of the Securities from which the contribution claim arises. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to the Company or information supplied by
the Company on the one hand or to any information contained in the relevant Notice and Questionnaire supplied by such Holder on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Notice Holders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Securities they have sold pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement and not joint. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this
Section 7 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, an indemnifying party that is a Holder of Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities sold by such
indemnifying party to any purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any 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. 
  

	 	8.	Information Requirements. 

 The Company covenants
that, if at any time before the end of the Effective Period the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it will cooperate with any Holder and take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing
(including, without limitation, making such representations as any such Holder may reasonably request), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act
within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A and customarily taken in connection with sales pursuant to such exemptions. Upon the written request of any Holder, the 

  

 -17- 

 
Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such filing requirements, unless such a statement has been
included in the Company’s most recent report filed pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its
securities under any section of the Exchange Act. 
  

	 	9.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Majority
Holders. 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 whose Securities are being sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of a majority in aggregate amount of the Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. Each Holder of
Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this
Section 8(a), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder. 
 (b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery,
first-class mail, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing next-day delivery: 
 (1) If to the Company, initially at the address
set forth in the Exchange Agreement; 
 (2) If to a Holder, to the address of such Holder set forth in the security register,
the Notice and Questionnaire or other records of the Company. 
 All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have
been duly given: when delivered by hand, if personally delivered; one (1) Business Day after being delivered to a next-day air courier; five (5) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, if being delivered by first-class mail; and
when receipt is acknowledged by the recipient’s telecopier machine, if sent by telecopier. 
 (c) Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and each of its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon each Holder of any Registrable Securities, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Indenture. If
any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such
Registrable Securities, such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. 
 (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (which may be delivered in original form or by
telecopier) and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  

 -18- 

 (e) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 
 (f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 (g) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the
Company or by any Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages (other than the
recovery of damages for a breach by the Company of its obligations hereunder for which Additional Interest has been paid pursuant to Section 2 hereof), will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and
each Holder agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific
performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 (h) No
Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that (i) it has not entered into and shall not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders
in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Majority Holders, it shall not grant to any Person the right to request the
Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are not in conflict or inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (i) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders of Restricted
Securities in such capacity) shall have the right to include any securities of the Company in any Shelf Registration Statement other than Registrable Securities. 
 (j) Severability. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term,
provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that
contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any
term, provision, covenant or restriction that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. 
 (k)
Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as
to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of such Holder, any agent or underwriter or any director, officer or partner thereof, or any controlling person of any of the
foregoing, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the transfer and registration of Registrable Securities by such Holder. 
  

 -19- 

 (l) Securities Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of
Holders of a specified percentage of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their
holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 
 (m) Termination. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate upon the end of the Effective Period, except for any liabilities or obligations under Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof
and the obligations to make payments of and provide for Additional Interest under Section 2(e) hereof to the extent such damages accrue prior to the end of the Effective Period, each of which shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

 APPENDIX A 
 HEADWATERS INCORPORATED 
 FORM OF NOTICE OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND SELLING 
 SECURITYHOLDER ELECTION AND QUESTIONNAIRE 
 14.75% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2014 
 NOTICE 
 Headwaters Incorporated (the “Company”) has filed, or intends shortly to file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 or such other Form as may be available (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), of the Company’s 14.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. [            ]) (the “Notes”), and common stock,
$0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion of the Notes (the “Shares” and together with the Notes, the “Transfer Restricted Securities”) in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement, dated as of March     , 2009 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Company and the investors signatory thereto. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the
Company. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 To
sell or otherwise dispose of any Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities generally will be required to be named as a Selling Securityholder in the related
Prospectus, deliver a Prospectus to purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, be subject to certain civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such
beneficial owner (including certain indemnification rights and obligations, as described below). To be included in the Shelf Registration Statement, this Notice and Questionnaire must be completed, executed and delivered to the Company at the
address set forth herein for receipt prior to or on the 20th calendar day from the receipt hereof (the “Notice and Questionnaire Deadline”). Beneficial Owners that do not complete and return this Notice and Questionnaire prior to the
Notice and Questionnaire Deadline and deliver it to the Company as provided below will not be named as Selling Securityholders in the Shelf Registration Statement and, therefore, will not be permitted to sell any Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a Selling Securityholder in the Shelf
Registration Statement and the related Prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Transfer Restricted Securities are advised to consult their own securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a
Selling Securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus.

 EXCHANGE AGREEMENT 
 This Exchange Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and
entered into as of March         , 2009, by and between                      (the
“Holder”), and Headwaters Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). 
 RECITALS

 WHEREAS, the Holder currently holds that principal amount of the Company’s 2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014
of the Company set forth on Schedule A (the “Old Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Holder desires to exchange the Old
Notes for the Company’s 14.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “New Notes”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Exchange”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue to the Holder that principal amount of New Notes in exchange for the Old Notes in the Exchange in the amount set
forth on Schedule A; 
 WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company has authorized the issuance of the New Notes to be issued
pursuant to the form of Indenture to be entered into by the Company and the trustee (the “Trustee”) named therein, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Indenture”); and 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the New Notes the Company will agree to provide the Holder registration rights pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, to be entered into by the Company, the Holder and the other holders of Old Notes exchanging such notes for New Notes, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

agrees that such Holder’s Old Notes shall be cancelled in connection with the Exchange. All accrued unpaid interest on the Old Notes as of the Closing Date (as defined below) shall be paid by the Company to the Holder in cash. Holder
acknowledges that the cancellation of the Old Notes shall have the effects specified in the Old Indenture governing the applicable Old Notes. 
 Section 1.3 Private Placement. In consideration of and for the Exchange, the Company agrees to issue Holder that aggregate principal amount of New Notes set forth on Schedule A hereto. The issuance of the New Notes to
Holder will be made without registration of the New Notes under the

exemption therefrom provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Section 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under state securities or “blue sky” laws. Holder
acknowledges that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Holder’s compliance with, its representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings set forth herein in order to determine the availability
of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder for the Exchange.

Old Notes being exchanged pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the written instructions of the Company and (ii) all documentation related to the right, title and interest in and to all of the Old Notes, and whatever documents of
conveyance or transfer may be necessary or reasonably desirable to transfer to and confirm in the Company all right, title and interest in and to (free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, encumbrance, title retention
agreement, option, equity or other adverse claim thereto) the Old Notes, including the delivery to the Company at or prior to the execution of this Agreement of a properly completed Letter of Transmittal in the form provided to the Holder; and

 (iii) The representations and warranties of the Holder in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects
on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and that the Holder shall have complied in all material respects with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at
or prior to the Closing Date. 
 Section 1.6 Exchange of Additional Notes. Simultaneously with or after the Closing, the Company may
issue, to one or more other holders of Old Notes (the “Other Holders”), subject to the terms of the Indenture, New Notes on substantially the same terms and conditions offered to the Holder. 
 ARTICLE 2 
 Representations
and Warranties of the Holder 
 The Holder hereby makes the following representations and warranties, each of which is true and correct
on the date hereof and the Closing Date and shall survive the Closing Date and the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent set forth herein. 
 Section 2.1 Existence and Power. 
 (a) The Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization and has the power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (b) The execution of this Agreement by the Holder and the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not
constitute or result in a breach, violation, conflict or default under any note, bond, mortgage, deed, indenture, lien, instrument, contract, agreement, lease or license to which the Holder is a party, whether written or oral, express or implied, or
any statute, law, ordinance, decree, order, injunction, rule, directive, judgment or regulation of any court, 

  

 3 

 
administrative or regulatory body, governmental authority, arbitrator, mediator or similar body on the part of the Holder or on the part of any other party
thereto or cause the acceleration or termination of any obligation or right of the Holder, except for such breaches, conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on the ability of the Holder to perform its obligations hereunder. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or
otherwise), properties or results of operations of the party, or an event, change or occurrence that would materially adversely affect the ability of the party to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights
Agreement and the New Notes which would limit the Holder’s power to transfer the Old Notes hereunder. 
 Section 2.2 Valid and
Enforceable Agreement; Authorization. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Holder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, except that
such enforcement may be subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity. 
 Section 2.3 Title to Old Notes. The Holder has good and valid title to the Old Notes in the aggregate principal amount set forth on Schedule
A, free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, encumbrance, title retention agreement, option, equity or other adverse claim thereto. The Holder has not, in whole or in part, (i) assigned, transferred,
hypothecated, pledged or otherwise disposed of the Old Notes or its rights in such Old Notes, or (ii) given any person or entity any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to such Old Notes
which would limit the Holder’s power to transfer the Old Notes hereunder. 
 Section 2.4 Investment Decision. The Holder is a
“qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the New Notes or the shares of the Common Stock, into which the New Notes may be converted (the
“Underlying Common Stock”). The Holder is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and has previously invested in securities similar to the New Notes. The Holder is able to bear the economic
risk of its investment in the New Notes and is presently able to afford the complete loss of such investment. 
 The Holder (or its
authorized representative) has had the opportunity to review the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), including, without limitation, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed on November 21, 2008, including information specifically incorporated by reference into our Form 10-K from our Proxy Statement for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on March 3, 2009, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q filed on February 6, 2009 and the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on October 29, 2008, November 4, 2008 and December 22, 2008 (all of such filings with the Commission referred to, collectively, as the
“SEC Documents”). The Holder has reviewed copies of each of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”), including copies of each of the Indenture, the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Disclosure Statement provided to the Holder. The Holder has had such opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its representative and to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is
necessary to permit it to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has independently, without reliance upon any representatives of the Company and based on such information as the Holder deemed appropriate, made its own
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Holder has had the opportunity to consult with its accounting, tax, financial and legal advisors to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the Exchange pursuant hereto and to make an
informed investment decision with respect to such exchange. 
  

 4 

 The Holder acknowledges that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing
representations and warranties in the offering of the New Notes to the Holder without having first registered the New Notes or the Underlying Common Stock under the Securities Act. 
 Section 2.5 Acquisition Entirely for Own Account. The Holder is acquiring the New Notes only for investment purposes and not towards, or for
resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of all or any part thereof. The Holder is acquiring the New Notes to be issued to the Holder hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. 
 Section 2.6 Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that neither the New Notes nor the Underlying Common Stock have been registered under
the Securities Act, and are being issued hereunder by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the
Holder’s representations as expressed herein. The Holder understands that the New Notes (and the Underlying Common Stock) are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these
laws, the Holder must hold the New Notes (and the Underlying Common Stock) indefinitely unless they are registered with the Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is
available. The Holder further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the New
Notes (and the Underlying Common Stock), and on requirements relating to the Company which may be outside the Holder’s control, and which, except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is under no obligation and may not
be able to satisfy. 
 Section 2.7 No Public Market. The Holder understands that no public market now exists for the New Notes, and
that the Company has made no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the New Notes. 
 Section 2.8 Legends. The Holder
understands that the New Notes and any shares of Underlying Common Stock, will bear one or more of the legends required by the Indenture, and the removal of such legends shall be governed by the terms of the Indenture and applicable securities law.

 Section 2.9 Affiliate Status. The Holder is not, and has not been during the preceding three months, an “affiliate” of
the Company as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 
 Section 2.10 Professional Advice. With respect to the
tax, accounting and other economic considerations involved in the Exchange, the Holder is not relying on the Company or any of its affiliates, and the Holder has carefully considered and has, to the extent the Holder believes such discussion is
necessary, discussed with the Holder’s professional legal, tax, accounting and financial advisors the implications of the Exchange for the Holder’s particular tax, accounting and financial situation. 
 Section 2.11 Letter of Transmittal. The information provided by the Holder in the Letter of Transmittal in the form provided to the Holder is true
and accurate as of the date hereof and the Holder shall advise the Company promptly of any changes therein. 
 Section 2.12 Valuation of
the Old Notes and the New Notes. The Holder acknowledges that because of unusual and adverse market conditions, reported third-party trades of Old Notes on or around the Closing Date, if any, are not indicative of the fair market value of the
Old Notes and that, accordingly, the Company has determined that the issue price of the New Notes is equal to their stated principal amount. The Holder agrees that its tax reporting with respect to the New Notes will be consistent with such
determination.

 ARTICLE 3 
 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company 
 The Company hereby makes the following

and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (b) The execution of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby (i) does not require the consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of, or filing with, any governmental authority or court, or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction
over the Company other than as contemplated in or by the Registration Rights Agreement, state securities regulators, the New York Stock Exchange, the DTC and The PORTAL Market; and (ii) does not and will not constitute or result in a breach,
violation or default under any note, bond, mortgage, deed, indenture, lien, instrument, contract, agreement, lease or license, whether written or oral, express or implied, or with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws, or any
statute, law, ordinance, decree, order, injunction, rule, directive, judgment or regulation of any court, administrative or regulatory body, governmental authority, arbitrator, mediator or similar body on the part of the Company or on the part of
any other party thereto or cause the acceleration or termination of any obligation or right of the Company or any other party thereto, except, in the case of clause (ii) for such breaches, violations or defaults which would not reasonably be
expected to, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined above). 
 Section 3.2 Valid and Enforceable
Agreement; Authorization. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such

 Section 3.3 Valid Issuance of the New Notes. The New Notes, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms and for the consideration set
forth in this Agreement and the Indenture, will constitute legal and binding obligations of the Company, be validly issued and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement, applicable state and federal
securities laws and liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Holder, and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except that such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Holder in Article II of this Agreement and
subject to the filing of Form D pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act and other similar filings required under state securities laws, the New Notes will be issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
federal and state securities laws. The Underlying Common Stock has been duly reserved for issuance, and upon issuance 

  

 6 

 
in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under applicable federal and state securities laws and liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Holder.
