 NORTHWEST NATURAL GAS
COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Oregon (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for 

 value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, the principal amount specified above on
the Stated Maturity Date specified above, and to pay interest thereon from the Interest Commencement Date specified above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date specified above in each year, commencing (except as provided in the following sentence) with the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Commencement Date specified above, at the Interest Rate per annum
specified above, until the principal hereof shall have been paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, as provided in such Indenture, shall be paid to the Person in
whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) shall have been registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date specified above (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided,
however, that, if the Interest Commencement Date of this Security shall be after a Regular Record Date and before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, payment of interest shall commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding such
Interest Commencement Date and shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Security was registered on the Regular Record Date for such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that interest payable on the Stated Maturity Date
specified above shall be paid to the Person to whom principal shall be paid. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and shall be paid as provided in
said Indenture. 
  
 Payment of the principal of, and premium, if
any, and interest on, this Security shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time
of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register; and provided further, that payment of principal, and premium, if any, and interest, payable on the Stated Maturity Date specified above or upon redemption, at the request of the Holder, will be made at said office or
agency in immediately available funds upon presentation of this Security. 
  
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and issuable in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 1, 1991 (such
Indenture, as originally executed and delivered and as thereafter supplemented and amended, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Securities, being herein called the “Indenture”), from the Company
to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company), as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities have been, and will be, authenticated and delivered.
The acceptance of this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. 
  

 2 

 If any Interest Payment Date, any Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity Date shall not be a Business
Day, payment of the amounts due on this Security on such date may be made on the next succeeding Business Day; and no interest shall accrue on such amounts for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity
Date, as the case may be. 
  
 If so specified above, this Security
is subject to redemption at a fixed redemption price and/or a make-whole redemption price. If the Securities are redeemable at a fixed redemption price, the Company may redeem the Securities, at any time on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified above, as a whole or, if so specified, in part, at the election of the Company, at the applicable redemption price (as described in the following sentence or as set forth above under “Other Provisions”) plus accrued interest to
the date fixed for redemption. Such redemption price shall be the Initial Redemption Price specified above for the twelve-month period commencing on the Initial Redemption Date and shall decline for the twelve-month period commencing on each
anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by a percentage of principal amount equal to the Reduction Percentage specified above until such redemption price is 100% of the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed. If the Securities are
redeemable at a make-whole redemption price, the Company may redeem the Securities, at any time, as a whole or, if so specified, in part, at the election of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount
thereof and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus the Make-Whole Spread, plus, in each case, accrued interest to the redemption date. 
  

In connection with the foregoing, “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual
equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated yield (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price
for such redemption date. “Make-Whole Spread” means the amount, expressed as a percentage, fixed at the time of sale and specified above. “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the unsecured notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such unsecured notes. “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the
Company. “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date. “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of the 
  

 3 

 investment banking firms or their affiliates which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers and which are appointed
by the Company as Reference Treasury Dealers, and their respective successors; provided, however, that the Company shall appoint at least five Reference Treasury Dealers, and if, at the time of any determination of the Treasury Rate, there shall be
less than five Reference Treasury Dealers which are, or whose affiliates are, primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the United States (each a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), then the Company shall appoint one or more additional
investment banking firms which are, or whose affiliates are, Primary Treasury Dealers as Reference Treasury Dealers. 
  
 If the Security is redeemable at a fixed redemption price, the Company may not, prior to the Redemption Limitation Date, if any, specified above, redeem
this Security at such a fixed redemption price as contemplated above as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation by the application, directly or indirectly, of moneys borrowed having an effective interest cost to the Company
(calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice) of less than the effective interest cost to the Company (similarly calculated) of this Security. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given by mail to Holders of Securities, not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption as aforesaid may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and interest, if any, on, this Security on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption. A notice of redemption so conditioned shall be of no force or effect if such money is not so received; and, in such event, the Company
shall not be required to redeem this Security. 
  
 The Company
shall not be required to (a) register the transfer of or exchange Securities of this series and Tranche during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the selection of Securities of this series and Tranche to be called for redemption or (b) issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and Tranche of
authorized denominations, of like tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender of this Security. 
  
 If so specified above, this Security is repayable by the Company at the
option of the Holder hereof on the Repayment Date or Dates and at the Repayment Price or Prices specified above, plus accrued interest to the date of repayment. The repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of this Security for less than its
entire principal amount, provided that the principal amount to be repaid is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. For this Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder hereof, the Company must receive this Security at its office or
agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, no later than the close of business on the last day of the Election Period or Periods specified above, together with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” set forth below
on, or otherwise accompanying, this Security, duly completed. Any such election so received by the Company within any such Period shall be irrevocable. If the last day of the Election Period or Periods specified above shall not be a business day,
the Election Period or Periods shall end at the close of business on the next succeeding business day. 
  

 4 

 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security
upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

  
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding under the Indenture, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Securities of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed
supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Securities of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if the proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect
the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all Tranches so directly affected,
considered as one class, shall be required. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of any series then Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Security. 
  
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no
provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, on, this Security at the times, place and rate, in
the coin or currency, and in the manner, herein prescribed. 
  
 As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or such other office or agency as may be designated by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and, thereupon, one or more new Securities of this series and Tranche of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
  

 5 

 The Securities of this series are issuable only as Registered Securities, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series and Tranche are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series and Tranche, of any authorized denominations, requested by the Holder surrendering the same, and of like tenor upon surrender of the Security or Securities to be exchanged at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee or such other office or agency as may be designated by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York. 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the
absolute owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 The Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

  
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Securities, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the
indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being
expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Securities are solely corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such,
past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), because of the indebtedness thereby authorized or under or by reason of any of
the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or in any of the Securities or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of
the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of the Securities. 
  
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Registration Statement to remain effective until the closing of the Exchange Offer; and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to complete the Exchange Offer no later than 210 days after the Closing Date. 
  
 The Company 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; 

  

	(iv)	that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such Registrable Security, together with the
appropriate letters of 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. 

  
 As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required to represent to the Company that (i) any Exchange Securities to be
received by it will be acquired 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” 

  

 5 

 
(within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, it is not engaged in and does not
intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities, (v) 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 and (vi) it is not acting on behalf of any person that could not truthfully make the representations set forth in
clauses (i) – (v) of this paragraph. 
  
 As soon as
practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company 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 principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities surrendered by such Holder. 

  
 The Company shall use its reasonable best 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 interpretations of the Staff. 
  
 (b) In the event that (i) because of any change in law or applicable interpretations thereof by the Staff, the Company is not permitted to effect the
Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof; (ii) if for any other reason the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 210 days after the Closing Date (provided that, if the Exchange Offer shall be consummated after such 210-day
period, then the Company’s obligations under this clause (ii) arising from the failure of the Exchange Offer to be consummated within such 210-day period shall terminate); (iii) if any Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser holding Securities
acquired directly from the Company) is not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer or elects to participate in the Exchange Offer but does not receive Exchange Securities which are freely tradeable without any limitations or restrictions under
the Securities Act; or (iv) upon the request of any of the Initial Purchasers within 90 days following the consummation of the Exchange Offer with respect to Registrable Securities that it acquired directly from the Company that have, or that are
reasonably likely to be determined to have, the status of unsold allotments in an initial distribution, the Company shall file with the SEC no later than (a) the 210th day after the Closing Date or (b) the 30th day after such filing obligation
arises, whichever is later, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
SEC as promptly as practicable but in no event later than the 240th day after the Closing Date (or 90 days 

  

 6 

 
after request by any Initial Purchaser pursuant to clause (iv) above), whichever is applicable. 
  
 In the event that the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iv) of the preceding
sentence, the Company shall use its reasonable best 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 agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required, in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period of two years after the latest date on which any Securities are
originally issued by the Company (subject to extension pursuant to Section 3(d)) or, if earlier, when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement in
accordance with the intended method of distribution thereunder, (ii) become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or (iii) cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). Subject to the
Company’s right to temporarily suspend the registration statement in Section 3(d) below, the Company further agrees 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 the Majority
Holders with respect to information relating to such Holders upon provision of all information of such Holders required under any federal and state securities laws (provided that the Company will not be required to amend or supplement the
Shelf Registration Statement upon such Majority Holder request more than once during any 90-day period), and to use its reasonable best 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 agrees 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 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 or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
  
 (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or 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. 
  

 7 

 In the event that: 
  
 (i) the Company fails to file any of the Registration Statements required by this Agreement on or before the date specified
for such filing in this Section 2; or 
  
 (ii) any of these
Registration Statements is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in this Section 2; or 
  
 (iii) the Company fails to complete the Exchange Offer on or prior to the date specified for such completion or the Company has failed to file a Shelf
Registration Statement on or prior to the date specified for such completion or filing in this Section 2; or 
  
 (iv) a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC but such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective or such Shelf
Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein ceases to be usable in connection with resales of Registrable Securities for any reason and either (A) the aggregate number of days in any consecutive 365-day period for which the Shelf
Registration Statement or such Prospectus shall not be effective or usable exceeds 90 days, (B) the Shelf Registration Statement or such Prospectus shall not be effective or usable for more than two periods (regardless of duration) in any
consecutive 365-day period or (C) the Shelf Registration Statement or such Prospectus shall not be effective or usable for a period of more than 45 consecutive days; 
  
 (each such event referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”) the interest rate on the
Registrable Securities will be increased (“Additional Interest”) by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following such first occurrence of a Registration Default and while any Registration Default has occurred or is
continuing, and (ii) shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period up to a maximum of 0.50% per annum of additional interest with respect to all Registration Defaults, until the date, in each case
until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is declared effective by the SEC or the Securities become freely tradeable under the Securities Act. 
  
 If, after the cure of all Registration Defaults then in effect, there is a subsequent
Registration Default, the rate of Additional Interest for such subsequent Registration Default shall initially be 0.25% regardless of the rate in effect with respect to any prior Registration Default at the time of cure of such Registration Default
and shall increase in the manner and be subject to the maximum Additional Interest rate contained in the preceding sentence. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of Additional Interest payable shall not increase because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is pending and a
Holder of Registrable Securities that is not entitled to the benefits of the Shelf Registration (e.g., such Holder has not elected to include information) shall not be 

  

 8 

 
entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default that pertains to the Shelf Registration. 
  
 (e) The Additional Interest provided for in this Section 4 shall be the
exclusive monetary remedy available to holders of Registrable Securities for Registration Defaults. 
  
 (f) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply
with its 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, after diligently pursuing reasonable, good faith negotiations with the Company to cure such failure for at least 30 days, obtain such relief as
may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof. 
  
 3. Registration Procedures. (a) In connection with its obligations pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall as
expeditiously as possible: 
  
 (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, (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 its reasonable best 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 in accordance with Section 2 hereof and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act during such period; and keep each Prospectus current during the period described in Section 4(3) of and Rule 174 under the Securities Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to the Registrable
Securities or Exchange Securities;

subject to Section 3(d) and to any notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3(c) below, the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and any 

  

 9 

 
amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the Holders of Registrable Securities and any such Underwriters in connection
with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law; 
  
 (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable
Securities under all applicable state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable Registration Statement
is declared effective by the SEC; cooperate with such Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable each Holder to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder during the Shelf Effectiveness Period; provided that the Company shall not be required to (1) qualify as
a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it 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; 
  
 (v)
during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder of Registrable Securities, counsel for such Holders and counsel for the Initial Purchasers promptly and, if requested by any such Holder or counsel,
confirm such advice in writing (1) when a Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective, (2) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments
and supplements to a Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement has become effective, (3) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (4) if, between the effective date of a Shelf Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, the
representations and warranties of the Company 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 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 Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Shelf
Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading and (6) of any determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement would be appropriate; 
  
 (vi) during the Shelf Effectiveness Period for any Shelf Registration
Statement or during the Exchange Period for any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, use its 

  

 10 

 
reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment and
provide immediate notice to each Holder of the withdrawal of any such order; 
  
 (vii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto
(without any documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested); 
  
 (viii) during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names (consistent
with the provisions of the Indenture) as such Holders may reasonably request at least one Business Day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities; 
  
 (ix) during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event
contemplated by Section 3(a)(v)(5) hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to such Shelf 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 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 shall notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the
occurrence of such an event, and such Holders hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission; 
  
 (x) before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or their counsel (if requested by any such person) and the Underwriters, if any, a reasonable opportunity to
review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least five Business Days prior to such filing). The Company shall not file
any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel, or the Underwriters, if
any, shall reasonably object; provided such objection arises from a reasonable allegation of a material violation of the securities laws by such filing; 
  

(xi) obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not later than the effective date of a
Registration Statement; 
  

 11 

 (xii) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the
registration of the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be; cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the
terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and execute, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable
the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 
  
 (xiii)
during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Securities (an “Inspector”), any Underwriter participating in any disposition
pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, any attorneys and accountants designated by the Holders of Registrable Securities and any attorneys and accountants designated by such Underwriter, at the offices where they are normally kept, during
reasonable business hours, all pertinent financial and other records, documents and instruments of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant believes shall be reasonably necessary to
enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities under federal securities laws, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector,
Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement; provided that if any such information is identified by the Company as being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such information shall take
such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of any Inspector, Holder or
Underwriter and such Inspector, Holder or Underwriter shall use reasonable best efforts to provide notice to the Company of any potential disclosure of any information obtain under this Section 3(a)(xiii) which is identified as confidential or
proprietary pursuant to the above exception to permit the Company to obtain a protective order; 
  
 (xiv) during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, if reasonably requested by the Majority Holders, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment of a Shelf Registration Statement such information with respect to such Holders as such Holders reasonably request 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, provided that the Company will not be required to amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus upon such
Majority Holders request more than once during any 90-day period; and 
  
 (xv) during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other 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, entering into an underwriting 

  

 12 

 
agreement as is customary in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities, and in such connection, (1) to the extent possible, make
such representations and warranties to 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 of debt securities similar to the Securities and confirm the same if and when requested, (2)
use reasonable best efforts to obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (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
Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities, (3) use reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters
from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company, or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data
are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters
in connection with underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities and (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 debt securities similar to the Securities, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company made pursuant to
clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement which is customary for offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities. 
  
 (b) During the Shelf Effectiveness Period, in the case of a Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company 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 may from
time to time reasonably request in writing. 
  
 (c) In the case of
a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company 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, such Holder will deliver to the Company all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities held at the time of receipt of such
notice. 
  
 (d) If the Company shall give any notice pursuant to
Section 3(c) hereof to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration 

  

 13 

 
Statement, the Company 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. During any 365-day period, the Company may, by notice as described in Section 3(c), suspend the availability of a Shelf Registration Statement and the use of the related Prospectus for up to two periods of up to 45
consecutive days each, but no more than an aggregate of 90 days during any 365-day period, upon the happening of any event or the discovery of any fact referred to in Section 3(a)(v). 
  
 (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. 
  
 The Company understands 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 agrees to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained
in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date (subject to the suspension of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3(d) and 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 further agrees that subject to Section 3(d) and to any notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3(c) above, 

  

 14 

 
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 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 agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) 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, 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, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus 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 JPMorgan, Wachovia or any selling
Holder, respectively expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals
participating in the distribution, 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. 
  
 (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders, the directors of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration
Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, 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 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 

  

 15 

 
the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person 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 the Indemnifying
Person 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 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 local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such 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 JPMorgan or Wachovia, (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 30 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 

  

 16 

 
such settlement (A) includes an 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 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 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 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 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 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 (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an
Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses 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. 
  

 17 

 (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 officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Company, (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 represents, warrants and
agrees that (i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company under any other
agreement and (ii) the Company has not 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 has 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
5(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Company, 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 (iii) 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 

  

 18 

 
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 Purchase Agreement, the Indenture or the Securities Act. 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 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, 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.

  
 (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 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.
