 The Company and the Guarantors shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related Prospectus, appropriate letters of transmittal and other accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition
to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law, substantially the following: 
 (i) that the
Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange;

 (ii) the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at
least 20 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Exchange Dates”); 
 (iii) that any
Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not retain any rights under this Agreement;

transmittal, to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and in the manner specified in the notice, prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and 

(v) that any Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election, not later than the close of business on the last Exchange
Date, by sending to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal
amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities exchanged.

in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the
Exchange Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company or any Guarantor and (iv) if such Holder is a
broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then such Holder will deliver a Prospectus in connection with
any resale of such Exchange Securities. 
 As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company and the Guarantors
shall: 
 (i) accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and 
 (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for
cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in aggregate principal amount to the
aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities surrendered by such Holder. 
 The Company and the Guarantors shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the
Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretation of the Staff. 

If, during the period the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is effective, an event occurs which makes any statement made in such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading or in
such Prospectus in 

  
 5 

 
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company agrees to notify the Holders and to suspend the exchange of the Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and the Holders hereby
agree to suspend such exchange until the Company and the Guarantors have amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission. 
 (b) In the event that (i) the Company and the Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be completed as soon as
practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretation of the Staff, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason completed on or prior to the 270th day after the Issue Date or
(iii) any Initial Purchaser shall so request in connection with any offer or sale of Registrable Securities, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such
determination, date or request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC.

 In the event that the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause
(iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file and have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with
respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial
Purchasers after completion of the Exchange Offer. 
 The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their commercially reasonable
efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the second anniversary of the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or cease to be Registrable Securities within the meaning of this Agreement (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the
Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other
rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder to correct information relating to such Holder (provided the Majority Holders do not object to such amendment and resulting limitation of use of the Shelf
Registration Statement), and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company and the
Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC. 
 (c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting
discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 

  
 6 

 (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not
be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC. A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or
is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act. 
 The Company, each
Guarantor and the Initial Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Company or the Guarantors fail to fulfill their respective obligations under Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof and that it would not be feasible to
ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Company and each Guarantor agree that in the event that: 
 (i) either the Exchange Offer is not completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is not declared effective on or prior to the 270th day after the Issue Date (a “Registration
Default”); or 
 (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has been declared effective and
thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable continues for 30 consecutive days or exists for more
than an aggregate of 60 days in any 12-month period (a “Shelf Registration Default”); 
 then the Company and the Guarantors hereby
agree to pay each Holder of Registrable Securities affected thereby, liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”). Liquidated Damages will accrue on the affected Registrable Securities and the affected Exchange Securities, as applicable. The
rate of Liquidated Damages will be 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Registrable Securities held by such Holder for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default or Shelf Registration Default,
as applicable, increasing by 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum of 1.00% per annum, in each case until (x) with respect to a Registration Default, the Exchange Offer is completed or the
Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is declared effective by the SEC or a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the Securities has become effective or (y) with respect to a Shelf Registration Default, the Shelf Registration
Statement has again been declared effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(1) the amount of Liquidated Damages payable shall not increase because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is pending and (2) a Holder of Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities who is not entitled to the benefits of
the Shelf Registration Statement (i.e., such Holder has not elected to furnish information to the Company in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof) shall not be entitled to Liquidated Damages with respect to a Shelf Registration Default.

 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Holder who (x) was eligible to exchange such Holder’s
outstanding Securities at the time that the Exchange Offer was pending and consummated and (y) failed to validly tender such Securities for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer shall be entitled to receive any Liquidated Damages that would
otherwise accrue subsequent to the date the Exchange Offer is consummated pursuant to this Section 2(d). 
 (e) The Company
shall notify the Trustee within one Business Day after each date on which an event occurs in respect of which Liquidated Damages are required to be paid. Any amounts of Liquidated Damages due pursuant to this Section 2 will be payable in
addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to the Registrable Securities in cash semi-annually on the interest payment dates specified in the Indenture (to the holders of record as specified in the Indenture), commencing
with the first such interest payment date occurring after any such Liquidated Damages commence to accrue. The amount of Liquidated Damages will be determined in a manner consistent with the calculation of interest under the Indenture. 

  
 7 

 (f) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the
Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by the Company or the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the
Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be
required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof. 
 (g) The Company represents, warrants and covenants that it (including its agents and representatives) will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any Free Writing Prospectus. 

3. Registration Procedures. (a) In connection with their obligations pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b)
hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall: 
 (i) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on
the appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (x) shall be selected by the Company and the Guarantors, (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders
thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof; 
 (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period

preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as such Holder or Underwriter may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities thereunder; and, subject to
Section 3(a)(ix), the Company and the Guarantors consent to the use of such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and any such Underwriters

would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (2) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not so subject;

and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company or any Guarantor contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any,
relating to an offering of such Registrable Securities cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Company or any Guarantor receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (5) of the happening of any event during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is effective that makes any statement made in such Registration

incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company and the Guarantors shall notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to suspend use of the Prospectus as

 (xv) if reasonably requested
by any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to such Holder as such Holder reasonably requests to be included
therein and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as the Company has received notification of the matters to be so included in such filing; 

(xvi) in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other reasonable actions
in connection therewith (including those requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities including, but not
limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (1) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect to the business of the Company and
its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in
underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested, (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and
such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings of the type contemplated by this
provision, (3) obtain “comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company or any Guarantor,
or of any business acquired by the Company or any Guarantor for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable
Securities (subject, in each case, to the policies and procedures of the independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors and such other independent certified public accountants regarding the preparation and delivery of
such letters), such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings of the type contemplated by this provision and (4) deliver such
documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in underwritten offerings of the type
contemplated by this provision, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in
an underwriting agreement; and 
 (xvii) so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, cause each
Additional Guarantor upon the creation or acquisition by the Company of such Additional Guarantor, to take such action as to permit the Company and the Guarantors to comply with this Agreement, including making such Additional Guarantor a
co-registrant of securities under any Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement. 

  
 11 

 (b) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors may
require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company and the Guarantors may from time to time
reasonably request in writing. So long as any Holder fails to furnish such information in a reasonably timely manner after receiving the request, the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) have no obligation under this Agreement to provide for
the disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement in respect to which such information was requested, (ii) not be required to provide for the disposition of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in any post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or any future Shelf Registration Statement that is not otherwise required to be filed and (iii) not be required to pay any liquidated damages to such Holder as
provided in Section 2(d) hereof. Each Holder including Registrable Securities in a Shelf Registration Statement shall agree to furnish promptly to the Company all information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of
such Registrable Securities required to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. 
 (c) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company or any Guarantor of the happening of any event of the kind
described in Section 3(a)(v)(3) or 3(a)(v)(5) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented
or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(ix) hereof and, if so directed by the Company or any Guarantor, such Holder will deliver to the Company and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in
such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 (d) If the Company or any Guarantor shall give any notice pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company
and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such Shelf Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to
and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company and the Guarantors may give any such notice only twice
during any 365-day period and any such suspensions shall not exceed 60 days in the aggregate and there shall not be more than two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period. 

(e) The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable
Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each an “Underwriter”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in such offering. 
 4. Participation of Broker-Dealers
in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities
Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 

  
 12 

 The Company and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the
Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with
resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors agree to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement for a period of up to 90 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement), if requested by the Initial Purchasers or by one or more Participating
Broker-Dealers, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above. The Company and the Guarantors further agree
that Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4. 
 (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder with respect to any request that they may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above. 

5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any
claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, any Free
Writing Prospectus used in violation of this Agreement or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any 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, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser, or information relating to any
Holder furnished to the Company in writing through Wells Fargo or any selling Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company and the Guarantors will also enter into an
underwriting agreement pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals participating in such Underwritten
Offering, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in
connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information. 

  
 13 

 (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders, the directors of the Company and the Guarantors, each officer of the Company and the Guarantors who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who
controls the Company, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph
(a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any
information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus. 
 (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 (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing;
provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 5 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 Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 5.
If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent
the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such
proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person 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 Person unless (i) the Indemnifying
Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified
Person 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 Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person 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 Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any reasonably necessary local counsel) for
all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such
Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by Wells Fargo, (y) for any Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases shall
be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person 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 Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that
an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if
(i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the
date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an 

  
 14 

 
unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding and (B) 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 Person. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors from the offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving
Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (e) The Company, the Guarantors and the Holders
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph
(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any 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. 
 (f) The remedies provided
for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 
 (g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling
the Company or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. 

6. General. 
 (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that (i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are
not inconsistent 

  
 15 

 
with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor under any other agreement and (ii) neither the Company nor any
Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof. 
 (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this
sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the
provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b)
shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. 
 (c) Notices. All notices and other communications
provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder
to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Company
or any Guarantor, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and to such other persons at
their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have
been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next
Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in
the Indenture. 
 (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or
other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Indenture and the Purchase Agreement. 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 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. The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company or the Guarantors with respect to
any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement. 
 (e) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers,
on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder. 

  
 16 

 (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

(g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not
limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 
 (h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 (i) Miscellaneous. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions. 

  
 17 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written
above.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EXECUTION COPY 
 SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT 

This Separation and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of this 9th day of November, 2012, by and between Great Wolf Resorts, Inc.
(together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”) and James Calder (the “Executive”). 

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company (each, a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) are parties to an
Employment Agreement dated as of December 13, 2004 (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Executive serves as the Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of the Company; and 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to set forth their respective rights and obligations in connection with the termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements contained herein, the parties
agree as follows: 
 1. Employment Agreement. Except as specifically modified by this Agreement, the Employment
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the Termination Date (as defined below); provided, that Section 4.2(f)(2) of the Employment Agreement shall cease to apply as of the date hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company may appoint a new Corporate Secretary and/or Chief Financial Officer prior to the Termination Date and that Executive may be required to assist such
person during a period of transition. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement. 
 2. Termination of Employment. The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the date
the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for any reason by written notice to the Executive in accordance with Section 15(d) below and (b) March 31, 2013 (such applicable date, the “Termination Date”). In
addition, upon request by the Company, Executive shall resign from any other other position he holds with the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation, as a director or officer of K-9 Holdings, Inc. or any subsidiary of the Company.

 3. Consideration. In the event of the termination of the Executive’s employment in accordance with this
Agreement, in exchange for the Executive’s re-execution (and non-revocation) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date (as defined below), the Company shall:

 (a) pay to the Executive an amount equal to $1,518,340, such amount to be paid in a cash lump sum within thirty
(30) days following the Termination Date; 
 (b) pay to the Executive an amount equal to $26,158, such amount to be
paid in a cash lump sum within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date; 
 (c) remit to the Internal Revenue
Service, on behalf of the Executive, an amount equal to the Gross Up Payment (in one or more than one payment in accordance with Section 4.2(g) of the Employment Agreement, which section is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and
shall be treated as if fully set forth herein), such amount to be remitted in a cash lump sum within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date; and 

 (d) pay to the Executive an annual bonus in respect of fiscal year 2012, which annual
bonus shall be calculated and determined in a manner that is no less favorable to the Executive than to other senior executives generally, and shall be paid in a cash lump sum at the same time that other senior executives of the Company receive
annual bonuses in respect of fiscal year 2012, but in no event earlier than January 1, 2013 and in no event later than March 15, 2013, subject to the Executive’s continued employment with the Company on the payment date;
provided, that in the event that the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) prior to such payment date, the Executive shall be entitled to receive such annual bonus at the
time described above. 
 (e) All payments described in this Section 3 are subject to applicable withholdings and
normal deductions for income and employment taxes and will be made no later than the time required by applicable law. The Executive agrees that the payments or benefits specified in this Section 3 constitute any and all payments or benefits
which may be due to the Executive up to or as of the end of the Executive’s employment with the Company, or related to the Executive’s employment with and separation from the Company, and that the Executive shall bring no further claims
for compensation of any kind. 
 4. Full Release. The Executive, for himself, his heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Releasors”), hereby fully releases and discharges the Company and K-9 Holdings, Inc. (which is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement), and

any kind hereunder, other than amounts due to the Executive as a matter of law, and this Agreement will be void ab initio.

investigation, or proceeding with respect to any Claim this Release purports to waive. 
 (b) Promptly following the
Termination Date, the Executive shall deliver to the Company (i) all property of the Company and any of its affiliates then in the Executive’s possession; and (ii) all documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium of the

its officers, directors, employees, affiliates or any of the Released Parties in a negative light or that are false, misleading, disparaging, or that are intended to cast the spoken of party in a negative light, except to the extent required by law,
and then only after consultation with the Company to the extent possible, or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. 

10. Covenant Not To Sue. The Executive represents and warrants that he or she has not filed any Claim against the Company
or Related Parties. Except for an action brought to enforce this Agreement or challenge the validity of the ADEA waiver, the Executive agrees to refrain from filing or otherwise initiating any Claim against the Company or Related Parties over
matters released or waived herein, and agrees that he or she will refrain from participating in any Claim initiated or pursued by any individual, group of individuals, partnership, corporation or other entity against the Company and/or the Related
Parties over matters released or waived herein, except as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with the Executive’s right to file a charge with or participate in an investigation or
proceeding by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other federal or state regulatory or law enforcement agency. However, the consideration provided to the Executive under this Agreement shall be the sole relief provided for the released
Claims. The Executive will not be entitled to recover and the Executive agrees to waive any monetary benefits or other recovery in connection with any such charge or proceeding, without regard to who has brought such charge or proceeding.

 11. Confidentiality. Each of the Company and the Executive understands and acknowledges that this Agreement is
a confidential document as are all of its terms and conditions. Each of the Company and the Executive shall maintain strictly the confidentiality of and shall not disclose the Agreement and/or its terms to any person other than the Company and its
affiliates and their respective officers, directors and advisors and the Executive’s spouse, attorney(s), and tax advisor(s), unless compelled to do so by court order or other legal process; provided, that this prohibition shall not
apply with respect to the Company’s public disclosure obligation in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Any disclosure other than those authorized herein, shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. 

12. Litigation And Regulatory Cooperation. The Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and/or Related Parties
in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company and/or Related Parties that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was
employed by the Company. The Executive’s cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the
Company at mutually convenient times. The Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review by any federal, state, or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events
or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable travel-related expenses (including transportation, lodging and meals) incurred with any cooperation pursuant
to this Section.

 13. No Admission of Liability. This Agreement shall not in any way be
considered or construed as an admission by the Company or the Executive of any improper actions or liability whatsoever as to each other or any other person, and the Company and the Executive specifically disclaim any liability to or improper
actions against each other or any other person, on the part of themselves and their agents and affiliates. 
 14.
Effect of Breach. In the event of a material breach by the Executive of any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement or the Employment Agreement, which is not cured (to the extent curable) within ten (10) business days after
written notice of such breach from the Company, the Executive shall forfeit the right to receive the payments and benefits described in Section 3 hereof and upon such breach, the Executive shall repay to the Company all amounts paid to the
Executive hereunder, including the value of any benefits provided to the Executive, to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

15. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Wisconsin without regard to the principles of conflict of law. 

(b) In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope,
activity or subject, such provisions will be construed by limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payment of the benefits set forth herein shall either be exempt from the
requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or shall comply with the requirements of such provision. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Executive is a
“specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”)), any payments or arrangements due on or after the Termination Date under any arrangement that constitutes a “deferral of
compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) and which do not otherwise qualify under the exemptions under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A, shall be delayed and paid or provided on the earlier of (i) the date which is six
months after the Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Section 409A) for any reason other than death, and (ii) the date of his death. After the Termination Date, the Executive shall have no duties
or responsibilities that are inconsistent with having a “separation from service” as of such date. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive on or after the Termination Date that are not so paid by reason of this Section shall be paid
as soon as practicable after, and in any event within thirty (30) days after, the date that is six months after the Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of his death). Each payment under this Agreement or otherwise
shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. 

  
 5 

 (d) Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered under
this Agreement shall be (i) in writing; (ii) delivered personally, by facsimile, by electronic mail, by courier service or by certified or registered mail, first class postage prepaid and return receipt requested; (iii) deemed to have
been received on the date of delivery or, if so mailed, on the third business day after the mailing thereof; and (iv) addressed to the party as set forth below (or to such other address as the party entitled to notice shall hereafter designate
