Landlord’s (or Lender’s) net income or net worth (unless such taxes are in lieu of or a substitute for any other tax, assessment or other charge upon or with respect to the Leased Premises which, if it were in effect, would be payable by
Tenant under the provisions hereof or by the terms of such tax, assessment or other charge), (B) any estate, inheritance, succession, gift or similar tax imposed on Landlord or Lender or (C) any capital gains tax imposed on Landlord or Lender in

shall pay to Landlord such amounts (each an “Escrow Payment”) monthly or at such intervals as required by such Lender (but not more often than monthly) so that there shall be in an escrow account an amount sufficient to pay the
Escrow Charges (as hereinafter defined) as they become due. As used herein, “Escrow Charges” shall mean real estate taxes and assessments on or with respect to the Leased Premises or 

  

 - 17 - 

 
payments in lieu thereof and premiums on any insurance required by this Lease and any reserves for capital improvements, deferred maintenance and/or repairs
required by any Lender. Landlord shall determine the amount of the Escrow Charges (it being agreed that if required by a Lender, such amount shall equal any corresponding escrow installments required to be paid by Landlord) and the amount of each
Escrow Payment in its reasonable discretion. The Escrow Payments may be commingled with other funds of Landlord or other Persons and no interest thereon shall be due or payable to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the Escrow Payments to the payment of
the Escrow Charges in such order or priority as Landlord shall determine or as required by Law, provided, however, that as long as Escrow Payments are sufficient to pay Escrow Charges as the same shall become due and no Event of Default exists,
Tenant shall have no liability for any penalty or interest payable as a result of the delinquent payment of Escrow Charges by Landlord or Lender. If at any time the Escrow Payments theretofore paid to Landlord shall be insufficient for the payment
of the Escrow Charges, Tenant, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s demand therefor, shall pay the amount of the deficiency to Landlord.

to, and cause the Leased Premises and any other Person occupying any part of the Leased Premises to comply with and conform to, all Insurance Requirements and, with respect to the Leased Premises, all Legal Requirements (including all applicable
Environmental Laws) and Tenant shall, at its expense, comply with and conform to all material Legal Requirements applicable to its business operations and shall maintain in effect any material license or permit necessary for the use, occupancy or
operation of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not at any time (i) cause, permit or suffer to occur any Environmental Violation or (ii) permit any sublessee, assignee or other Person occupying the Leased Premises under or through Tenant to cause,
permit or suffer to occur any Environmental Violation and, at the request of Landlord, Tenant shall promptly remediate or undertake any other appropriate response action to correct any existing Environmental Violation, however immaterial, and (iii)
without the prior written consent of Landlord, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or, to the extent within Tenant’s control, the subsurface of the Land, regardless of
the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof. Any and all reports prepared for or by Landlord with respect to the Leased Premises shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord, Lender, Tenant and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.

  
 (b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
will at all times promptly and faithfully abide by, discharge and perform all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in any Easement Agreement on the part of Landlord or the occupier to be kept and performed thereunder. Tenant will
not alter, modify, amend or terminate any Easement Agreement, give any consent or approval thereunder, or enter into any new Easement Agreement without, in each case, prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned except that Tenant shall have the right, without having obtained any consent from Landlord, to negotiate customary utility easements that do not adversely affect the value of the applicable Related Premises. Landlord
shall not alter, modify, amend or enter into any Easement Agreement that limits Tenant’s rights or exposes Tenant to additional obligations or liabilities without Tenant’s written consent. 
  

 - 18 - 

 (c) Upon prior written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall permit such persons as Landlord
may designate (“Site Reviewers”) to visit the Leased Premises during normal business hours and in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s operations and perform, as agents of Tenant, environmental site
investigations and assessments (“Site Assessments”) on the Leased Premises in any of the following circumstances: (i) in connection with any sale, financing or refinancing of the Leased Premises, (ii) within the six month
period prior to the expiration of the Term, (iii) if required by Lender or the terms of any credit facility to which Landlord is bound, (iv) if an Event of Default exists, or (v) at any other time that, in the opinion of Landlord or Lender, a
reasonable basis exists to believe that an Environmental Violation or any condition that could reasonably be expected to result in any Environmental Violation exists. Such Site Assessments may include both above and below the ground testing for
Environmental Violations and such other tests as may be necessary, in the opinion of the Site Reviewers, to conduct the Site Assessments. Tenant shall supply to the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information regarding the Leased
Premises as may be reasonably requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments, and shall make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers Tenant’s employees having knowledge of such matters. The cost of performing and
reporting Site Assessments shall be paid by Tenant. 
  
 (d) If an Environmental Violation occurs or is found to exist and, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the cost of remediation of, or other response action with respect to, the same is likely to exceed $50,000, Tenant shall provide to
Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request therefor, adequate financial assurances that Tenant will effect such remediation in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws. Such financial assurances shall be a bond or letter of
credit satisfactory to Landlord in form and substance and in an amount equal to or greater than Landlord’s reasonable estimate, based upon a Site Assessment performed pursuant to Paragraph 10(c), of the anticipated cost of such remedial action.

  
 (e) (i) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Lease, if an Environmental Violation occurs or is found to exist with respect to any one or more Related Premises (all such Related Premises, the “Contaminated Premises”) and the Term would otherwise terminate or expire and
an independent third party leasing agent retained by Landlord is unable to relet the Contaminated Premises at then market rates solely as a result of such Environmental Violation, then, at the option of Landlord and upon written notice to Tenant
(the “Term Extension Notice”), the Term with respect to the Contaminated Premises shall be automatically extended beyond the date of termination or expiration and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect beyond such date
until the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of all remedial action in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws or (ii) the date specified in a written notice from Landlord to Tenant terminating this Lease, provided that Tenant’s
obligation to pay Rent for the Contaminated Premises during such extension shall be limited to payments of Basic Rent otherwise due hereunder with respect to the Leased Premises multiplied by a percentage equal to the sum of the percentages set
forth on Exhibit “F” for the Contaminated Premises, real estate taxes and assessments and insurance premiums as the same shall become due and owing. 
  
 (ii) Landlord does hereby give and grant to Tenant the option to purchase any Contaminated Premises (A) for
a purchase price equal to the Contaminated Premises Offer Amount and (B) on any date (the “Contaminated Premises Option Purchase Date”) during the thirty (30) days following the determination of the Fair Market Value of the
Contaminated 

  

 - 19 - 

 
Premises. If Tenant intends to exercise such option, Tenant shall give written notice (the “Contaminated Premises Exercise Notice”) to
Landlord to such effect within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Term Extension Notice. Promptly upon receipt of such notice by Landlord, the parties shall commence to determine the Fair Market Value of the Contaminated Premises. If Tenant
shall exercise the foregoing option to purchase the Contaminated Premises, on the later to occur of (A) the Contaminated Premises Option Purchase Date or (B) the date when Tenant has paid the Contaminated Premises Offer Amount and has satisfied all
other Monetary Obligations, Landlord shall convey the Contaminated Premises to Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 20 hereof; provided, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the Contaminated Premises Option Purchase Date,
Landlord, at its sole option, may terminate Tenant’s option to purchase hereunder. IF THIS LEASE SHALL TERMINATE FOR ANY REASON PRIOR TO THE DATE ORIGINALLY FIXED HEREIN FOR THE EXPIRATION OF THE TERM, OR IF TENANT SHALL FAIL TO GIVE THE
AFORESAID NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PURCHASE, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, THE OPTION PROVIDED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 10(e)(ii) AND ANY EXERCISE THEREOF BY TENANT SHALL CEASE AND TERMINATE AND SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. IN SUCH EVENT TENANT SHALL EXECUTE A
QUITCLAIM DEED AND SUCH OTHER DOCUMENTS AS LANDLORD SHALL REASONABLY REQUEST EVIDENCING THE TERMINATION OF ITS OPTION. 
  
 (f) If Tenant fails to comply with any requirement of any Environmental Law in connection with any Environmental Violation which occurs or
is found to exist, Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to take any and all actions as Landlord shall deem necessary or advisable in order to cure such Environmental Violation. 
  
 (g) Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately after becoming
aware of any Environmental Violation (or alleged Environmental Violation) or noncompliance with any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph 10 and shall forward to Landlord immediately upon receipt thereof copies of all orders, reports,
notices, permits, applications or other communications relating to any such violation or noncompliance. 
  
 (h) All future leases, subleases or concession agreements relating to the Leased Premises entered into by Tenant shall contain covenants
of the other party thereto which are identical to the covenants contained in Paragraph 10(a). 
  
 (i) Tenant shall comply with the terms of and shall perform or cause to be performed those obligations set forth in that certain Asbestos
Management Plan dated August 1, 2003, prepared by ATC Associates Inc. in connection with the Waco Premises (the “Waco O&M Plan”).

Procedures Upon Purchase. 
  
 (a) If the
Leased Premises or any of the Related Premises are or the Excess Land is purchased by Tenant pursuant to any provision of this Lease, Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which was conveyed to Landlord, and Tenant or its
designee shall accept such title, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises, the applicable Related Premises or the Excess Land and to
all applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by any Mortgage or Assignment and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to the Leased Premises, the applicable Related Premises or the Excess Land which
have been created by or resulted solely from acts of Landlord after the date of this Lease, unless the same are Permitted Encumbrances or customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises, the applicable Related Premises or the Excess Land
that were created with the written consent of Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease. 
  
 (b) Upon the date fixed for any such purchase of the Leased Premises, any of the Related Premises or the Excess Land pursuant to any
provision of this Lease (any such date the “Purchase Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the Relevant Amount therefor specified herein, in Federal Funds, less any credit of the
Net Award received and retained by Landlord or a Lender allowed against the Relevant Amount, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant (i) a special warranty deed which describes the premises being conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in
Paragraph 20(a), (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or its designee any other property (or rights to any Net Award not yet received by Landlord or a Lender) then required to be sold by Landlord to Tenant pursuant
to this Lease and (iii) any Net Award received by Landlord, not credited to Tenant against the Relevant Amount and required to be delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease; provided, that if any Monetary Obligations which have arisen or
accrued on or prior to such date, then Landlord may deduct from the Net Award the amount of such Monetary Obligations; and further provided, that if any event has occurred which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, is likely to subject any
Indemnitee to any liability which Tenant is required to indemnify against pursuant to Paragraph 15, then an amount shall be deducted from the Net Award which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, is sufficient to satisfy such liability, which
amount shall be deposited in an escrow account with a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant pending resolution of such matter. If on the Purchase Date any Monetary Obligations remain outstanding which have arisen or
accrued on or prior to such Purchase Date and no Net Award is payable to Tenant by Landlord or the amount of such Net Award is less than the amount of the Monetary Obligations, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Purchase Date the amount of
such Monetary

Premises or the Excess Land (but not with respect to the Remaining Premises or the Retained Premises) shall terminate, except any Surviving Obligations. 
  
 (c) If the completion of such purchase shall be delayed after (i) the Termination Date, in the event of a purchase pursuant to Paragraph
18 or, (ii) the date scheduled for such purchase, in the event of a purchase under any other provision of this Lease then (x) Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase and (y) at Landlord’s sole option, Fair
Market Value shall be redetermined and the Relevant Amount payable by Tenant pursuant to the applicable provision of this Lease shall be adjusted to reflect such redetermination. 
  
 (d) Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the

power of Tenant in the Premises in order for such customers to interconnect with Tenant’s terminal facilities (such licensing process being referred to as “Co-location”). So long as the following conditions continue to be met,
Landlord shall have no right to approve or disapprove of any Co-location licenses:

and may repossess the Leased Premises by any available legal process without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder and without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating this Lease. After repossession of any of
the Leased Premises pursuant to clause (i) above, Landlord shall have the right to relet any of the Leased Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms, for such rent, on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord in its reasonable
discretion may determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord may make such Alterations in connection with such reletting as it may deem advisable in its reasonable discretion applying prudent business
judgment. Notwithstanding any such termination of Tenant’s right of possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and in such event Landlord shall have the rights and remedies specified in
the second-to-last sentence of Paragraph 23(a)(i). 
  
 (iii) Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, require Tenant to make an irrevocable offer to terminate this Lease in its entirety for an amount (the “Default Termination Amount”) specified in the next sentence. The
“Default Termination Amount” shall be the greatest of (A) the sum of the Fair Market Value of the Leased
Premises and the applicable Prepayment Premium which Landlord will be required to pay in prepaying any Loan with proceeds of the Default Termination Amount or (B) the sum of the Acquisition Cost and the applicable Prepayment Premium which Landlord
will be required to pay in prepaying any Loan with proceeds of the Default Termination Amount or (C) an amount equal to the Present Value of the entire Basic Rent from the date of such purchase to the date on which the then Term would expire. Upon
such notice to Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have made such offer and shall, if requested by Landlord, within ten (10) days following such request, deposit with Landlord as payment against the Default Termination Amount the amount described in
(B) above, and Landlord and Tenant shall promptly commence to determine Fair Market Value. Within thirty (30) days after the Fair Market Value Date, Landlord shall accept or reject such offer. If Landlord accepts such offer then, on the tenth (10th)
business day after such acceptance, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Default Termination Amount less any deposit paid to Landlord by Tenant as above provided and, at the request of Tenant, Landlord will convey the Leased Premises to Tenant or its
designee in accordance with Paragraph 20. Any rejection by Landlord of such offer shall have no effect on any other remedy Landlord may have under this Lease. 
  

(iv) Landlord may declare by notice to Tenant the entire Basic Rent (in the amount of Basic Rent then in effect) for the remainder of
the then current Term to be immediately due and payable. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all such Basic Rent discounted to its Present Value, all accrued Rent then due and unpaid, all other Monetary Obligations which are then due and unpaid
and all Monetary Obligations which arise or become due by reason of such Event of Default (including any Costs of Landlord). Upon receipt by Landlord of all such accelerated Basic Rent and Monetary Obligations, this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect and Tenant shall have the right to possession of the Leased Premises from the date of such receipt by Landlord to the end of the Term, and subject to all the provisions of this 

  

 - 41 - 

 
Lease, including the obligation to pay all increases in Basic Rent and all Monetary Obligations that subsequently become due, except that (A) no Basic Rent
which has been prepaid hereunder shall be due thereafter during the said Term, and (B) Tenant shall have no option to extend or renew the Term. 
  
 (b) The following constitute damages to which Landlord shall be entitled if Landlord exercises its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or
23(a)(ii): 
  
 (i) If Landlord exercises its
remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) but not its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(ii) (or attempts to exercise such remedy and is unsuccessful in reletting the Leased Premises) then, upon written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant’s default and in lieu of all current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the
Present Value of the excess, if any, of (A) all Basic Rent from the date of such demand to the date on which the Term is scheduled to expire hereunder in the absence of any earlier termination, re-entry or repossession over (B) the then fair market
rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all of Landlord’s Costs in connection with the repossession of the Leased Premises and any attempted reletting thereof, including all costs of
Alterations and expenses in preparation for reletting. 
  
 (ii) If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) and 23(a)(ii), then Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of the
termination of the Lease, and whether or not any of the Leased Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current damages all Monetary Obligations which would be payable under this
Lease by Tenant in the absence of such termination less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(ii), after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord’s Costs (including the items listed in the last sentence of
Paragraph 23(b)(i) hereof) incurred in connection with such repossessing and reletting; provided, that if Landlord has not relet the Leased Premises, such Costs of Landlord shall be considered to be Monetary Obligations payable by Tenant. Tenant
shall be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid, and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall
be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired by its own terms had there been no such Event of Default. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
contained, in lieu of or in addition to any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord may exercise any remedies and collect any damages available to it at law or in equity. If Landlord is unable to obtain full satisfaction pursuant to the
exercise of any remedy, it may pursue any other remedy which it has hereunder or at law or in equity. 
  
 (d) Landlord shall mitigate any of its damages hereunder to the extent required by applicable Law. 
  

 - 42 - 

 (e) No termination of this Lease, repossession or reletting of any of the Leased
Premises, exercise of any remedy or collection of any damages pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall relieve Tenant of any Surviving Obligations. 
  
 (f) WITH RESPECT TO ANY REMEDY OR PROCEEDING OF LANDLORD OR TENANT HEREUNDER, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY. 
  
 (g) Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to perform any act required of Tenant hereunder and, if performance of such act requires that Landlord enter the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such purpose

  
 (h) No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at
any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any
sum in satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in
a writing signed by Landlord. 
  
 (i) Tenant
hereby waives and surrenders, for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future Law to redeem any of the Leased Premises or to have
a continuance of this Lease after termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future Law which exempts property from
liability for debt or for distress for rent. 
  
 (j) Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies are cumulative and concurrent and no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy may be exercised at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and may be
exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be exhausted by any exercise thereof. 
  
 24. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, offers, statements and other instruments or communications
required or permitted to be given pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given and received for all purposes when delivered in person or by Federal Express or other reliable 24-hour delivery

 29. Determination of Value. 
  
 (a) Whenever a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair
Market Rental Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure: 
  
 (i) Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon such
Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within thirty (30) days after the date (the “Applicable Initial Date”) on which (A) Tenant provides Landlord with notice of its intention to terminate this Lease and purchase the
Affected Premises pursuant to Paragraph 18, (B) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of its intention to redetermine Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value pursuant to Paragraph 20(c), (C) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of
Landlord’s intention to require Tenant to make an offer to purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to .Paragraph 23 (a)(iii), (D) the date on which Landlord receives an Option Exercise Notice, (E) Landlord receives the Contaminated Premises
Exercise Notice or (F) Landlord receives the Excess Land Purchase Offer. Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree on Fair Market Rental Value on the date (also, an “Applicable Initial Date”) which is six (6) calendar months prior
to the expiration of the then current Term unless Tenant has previously exercised its option pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) not to have the Term automatically extended. Upon reaching such agreement, the parties shall execute an agreement setting forth
the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value. 
  
 (ii) If the parties shall not have signed such agreement within thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date, Tenant shall within twenty (20) days after the Applicable Initial Date select an appraiser and notify
Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the appraiser selected by Tenant, Landlord shall select an appraiser and notify
Tenant of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value based on a written appraisal made by each of them as of the Relevant Date (and given to
Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value as so agreed shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

  

 - 45 - 

 (iii) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair
Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of their respective determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value and shall select a
third appraiser to make the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant. 
  
 (iv) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within ten
(10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (iii) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after his selection,
then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of either part hereto (with respect to the other part), be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in Austin,
Texas. The determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment. 
  
 (v) If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Value or
Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the appraiser (selected
pursuant to Paragraph 29(a)(ii) hereof) whose determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant. 
  
 (vi) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this
Paragraph 29(a) shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Lease, (C) utilize the definition of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value hereinabove set
forth above, and (D) be registered in the State where the applicable Related Premises is located if such State provides for or requires such registration. 
  
 (vii) The Cost of the procedure described in this Paragraph 29(a) above shall be borne by Tenant. 
  
 (b) If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Value is not
determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then the date on which the Term would otherwise expire or terminate shall be extended with respect to the Leased Premises or the Affected Premises, as applicable, to the date
specified for termination in the particular provision of this Lease pursuant to which the determination of Fair Market Value is being made. If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of
the then current Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Basic Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which it was obligated under this Lease to pay prior to the commencement of the
Renewal Term. When Fair Market Rental Value is determined, the appropriate Basic Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or
shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment). 
  

 - 46 - 

 (c) In determining Fair Market Value as defined in clause (b) of the definition of Fair
Market Value, the appraisers shall add (i) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein (with assumed increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers)
using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the creditworthiness of the Tenant Group and (ii) the present value of the Leased Premises or applicable Related Premises as of the end of
such Term (having assumed the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease or the Guaranty, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all
provisions of the Lease, that Guarantors have complied (and will, comply) with all of the provisions of the Guaranty and, if Fair Market Value is being determined with respect to any Contaminated Premises, that no Environmental Violation exists with
respect to any such Contaminated Premises. 
  
 (d) In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall determine with respect to each Related Premises the amount that a willing tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of a comparable building located in a radius of twenty (20)
miles of each Related Premises would accept, at arm’s length, to rent a building of comparable size and quality as the Improvements, taking into account: (i) the age, quality, condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (ii) that
the Related. Premises will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (iii) a lease term of five (5) years; (iv) an absolute triple net lease; and (v) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily
consider. 
  
 30. Non-Recourse as to
Landlord. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to actual damages and shall be enforced only against the Leased Premises and any
of Tenant’s funds held by Landlord hereunder and not against any other assets, properties or funds of (a) Landlord, (b) any director, member, officer, general partner, limited partner, employee or agent of Landlord, or any general partner of
Landlord, any of its general partners or shareholders (or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assign of any thereof), (c) any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or other entity) of Landlord, or any of its general
partners, either directly or through Landlord or its general partners or any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation or their shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents (or other entity), or (d) any other Person (including W.
P. Carey & Co. LLC, Carey Asset Management Corp., and any Person affiliated with any of the foregoing, or any director, officer, employee or agent of any thereof). 
  
 31. Financing. 
  
 (a) Tenant agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
with the purchase, leasing and initial financing of the Leased Premises including, without limitation, the cost of appraisals, environmental reports, title, insurance, surveys, legal fees and expenses and Lender’s commitment fee. In no event
shall Tenant have any obligation to pay any costs or expenses, including any Prepayment Premium, incurred by Landlord for the amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of the initial Loan or refinancing of any Loan. 
  

 - 47 - 

 (b) Tenant agrees to pay, within three (3) business days of written demand
thereof, any cost, charge or expense (other than the principal of the Note and interest thereon at the contract rate of interest specified therein) imposed upon Landlord by Lender pursuant to the Note, the Mortgage or the Assignment except to the
extent caused by Landlord’s breach of contract, the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and which is not otherwise reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to any other provision of this Lease. 
  
 (c) If Landlord desires to obtain or refinance any Loan,
Tenant shall negotiate in good faith with Landlord concerning any reasonable request made by any Lender or proposed Lender for reasonable changes or modifications in this Lease. In particular, Tenant shall agree, upon request of Landlord, to supply
any such Lender with such notices and information as Tenant is required to give to Landlord hereunder and to extend the rights of Landlord hereunder to any such Lender and to consent to such financing if such consent is requested by such Lender.
Tenant shall provide any other consent or statement and shall execute any and all other commercially reasonable documents that such Lender reasonably requires in connection with such financing, including any commercially reasonable environmental
indemnity agreement and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, so long as the same do not materially adversely affect any right, benefit or privilege of Tenant under this Lease or materially increase Tenant’s obligations under
this Lease. Such subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement may require Tenant to confirm that (i) Lender and its assigns will not be liable for any misrepresentation, act or omission of Landlord and (ii) Lender and its assigns will not
be subject to any counterclaim, demand or offsets which Tenant may have against Landlord. 
  
 32. Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment. This Lease and Tenant’s interest hereunder shall be subordinate to any
Mortgage or other security instrument hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises by Landlord, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, provided. that
any such Mortgage or other security instrument (or a separate instrument in recordable form duly executed by the holder of any such Mortgage or other security instrument and delivered to Tenant) shall provide for the recognition of this Lease and
all Tenant’s rights hereunder unless and until an Event of Default exists or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to any applicable provision hereof. 
  
 33. Tax Treatment Reporting. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that each shall treat this
transaction as a true lease for state law purposes and shall report this transaction as a Lease for Federal income tax purposes. For Federal income tax purposes each shall report this Lease as a true lease with Landlord as the owner of the Leased
Premises and Equipment and Tenant as the lessee of such Leased Premises and Equipment including: (a) treating Landlord as the owner of the property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Section 167 or 168 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the “Code”) with respect to the Leased Premises and Equipment, (b) Tenant reporting its Rent
payments as rent expense under Section 162 of the Code, and (c) Landlord reporting the Rent payments as rental income. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to constitute a guaranty, warranty or representation by either
Landlord or Tenant as to the actual treatment of this transaction for state law purposes and for federal law purposes. 
  

 - 48 - 

 34. Security Deposit. 
  
 (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Lease Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of Two Million Seven Hundred Fifty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($2,758,800) (the “Original Security Deposit”) and the amount of the Original Security Deposit
required at any time pursuant to Paragraph 34(b) (the “Required Amount”). Any Security Deposit shall be in the form of a Letter of Credit. Any Security Deposit shall remain in full force and effect during fee Term except as
otherwise specifically provided in Paragraph 34(b) as security for the payment by Tenant of the Rent and all other charges of payments to be paid hereunder and the performance of the covenants and obligations contained herein, and any Letter of
Credit shall be renewed at least thirty (30) days prior to any expiration thereof, provided that Tenant shall have the right to substitute any Letter of Credit held by Landlord or Lender with a Cash Security Deposit or with a letter of credit that
meets the requirements of this Paragraph 34. If Tenant fails to renew any Letter of Credit or provide a replacement Letter of Credit by such date, time being of the essence, Landlord shall have the right at any time after the thirtieth (30th) day
before such expiration date to draw on such Letter of Credit and to deposit the proceeds of any Letter of Credit as a Cash Security Deposit in any account for the benefit of Landlord unless and until Tenant delivers a substitute Letter of Credit to
Landlord, and upon such delivery Landlord shall release the Cash Security Deposit to Tenant. Any Cash Security Deposit shall not be commingled with other funds of Landlord or other Persons and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, interest thereon shall be due and payable to Tenant within sixty (60) days following the expiration of each Lease Year. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at any time after the first anniversary of the Basic Rent Payment Date on
which the first full quarterly installment of Basic Rent was due under this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the Required Amount under this Paragraph 34 (i) to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Release I Amount”‘)
provided that the Tenant Group has maintained for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding the date of the proposed reduction, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 2.5 to 1 and EBITDA of not less than $50,000,000 (the
“Release I Requirements”); and (ii) to Six Hundred Eighty Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($689,700) (the “Release II Amount” and together with the Release I Amount, the “Release Amounts”)
provided that the Tenant Group has maintained for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding the date of the proposed reduction a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 2.5 to 1 and EBITDA of not less than $92,000,000 (the
“Release II Requirements”, and together with the Release I Requirements, the “Release Requirements”); provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing at the time of any proposed reduction. If
Tenant desires to reduce the Required Amount in accordance with the provisions set forth herein, then on the applicable date Tenant shall provide Landlord or Lender with either (x) a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the then
Required Amount and, upon receipt thereof, the Original Security Deposit then held by Landlord or Lender shall be released to Tenant within fifteen (15) days thereafter, or (y) an amendment reducing the amount of the Letter of Credit then held by
Landlord or Lender by the corresponding Release Amount (each, a “L/C Reduction Date”); provided, however, that if, for any four (4) consecutive calendar quarters following any L/C Reduction Date, the Tenant Group fails to
meet either of the Release Requirements, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s written notice, increase the then Required Amount by the Release Amount corresponding to the applicable Release Requirements (each, a
“Replenishment Event”). Notwithstanding the above, after the 

  

 - 49 - 

 
occurrence of any Replenishment Event, if the Tenant Group shall again achieve and maintain the Release I Requirements of Release II Requirements and
provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing at the time of the proposed reduction, then Tenant shall be entitled to the reductions in the Required Amount as set forth in this Paragraph 34(b). In no event shall any Level 1
Security Deposit or Sublet Security Deposit be subject to any reduction. 
  
 (c) If at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to draw on any Letter of Credit or to withdraw any Cash Security Deposit from the
above-described account and to apply the proceeds in payment of (i) any Rent or other charges for the payment of which Tenant shall be in default, (ii) prepaid Basic Rent, (iii) any expense incurred by Landlord in curing any default of Tenant,
and/or (iv) any other sums due to Landlord in connection with any default or the curing thereof, including, without limitation, any damages incurred by Landlord by reason of such default, including any rights of Landlord under Paragraph 23 or to do
any combination of the foregoing, all in such order or priority as Landlord shall so determine in its sole discretion and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that such proceeds shall not constitute assets or funds of Tenant or its estate, or be deemed to
be held in trust for Tenant, but shall be, for all purposes, the property of Landlord (or Lender, to the extent assigned). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that (1) Landlord’s application of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit or Cash
Security Deposit towards the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or the reduction of any damages due Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 23 of this Lease, constitutes a fair and reasonable use of such proceeds, and (2) the application of such
proceeds by Landlord towards the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums due under this Lease shall not constitute a cure by Tenant of the applicable default, provided that an Event of Default shall not exist if Tenant restores the
Security Deposit to its full amount within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Landlord that a draw has been made on the Security Deposit and in accordance with the requirements of this Paragraph 34, so that the original amount of the
Security Deposit shall be again on deposit with Landlord. 
  
 (d) At the expiration of the Term and so long as no Event of Default exists any Letter of Credit or any Cash Security Deposit, as the case may be, shall be returned to Tenant. 
  
 (e) Landlord shall have the right to designate Lender or any
other holder of a Mortgage as the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit or the Cash Security Deposit during the term of the applicable Loan, and such Lender or other holder of a Mortgage shall have all of the rights and obligation of Landlord under
this Paragraph 34. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute such agreements, consents and acknowledgments as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time to change the holder of the Security Deposit as hereinabove provided. 
  
 (f) If this Lease is assigned pursuant to Paragraph 21(a)(i)
or Paragraph 21(a)(ii) then Landlord will accept as a replacement Original Letter of Credit hereunder a letter of credit from such permitted transferee, if, but only if, that letter of credit meets all of the requirements of the Original Letter of
Credit hereunder at the time of the assignment, in which event the assigning Tenant’s Original Letter of Credit held by Landlord shall be returned to such assigning Tenant within five (5) days of the receipt of the replacement Original Letter
of Credit from such assignee.

Offer. Time shall be of the essence with respect to said thirty (30) day period and delivery of the ROFO Notice by Tenant. If Tenant accepts the Offer, Tenant shall execute any documentation reasonably required by Landlord to reflect Tenant’s

Leased Premises for Sale to any third party, the provisions of this Paragraph 35 shall again apply, and (iv) Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord’s request therefor, deliver an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord

July 31, 2008, it being the intent of Landlord and Tenant that Tenant’s rights with respect to any Offer made prior to July 31, 2008 continue even if Landlord sells the Leased Premises to a third party and (ii) one, but only one, Offer made by
the new Landlord if such sale has been consummated after July 31, 2008. Tenant will ____ to such third party as Landlord so long as such third party and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will
execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.

herein, the provisions of this Paragraph 35 shall not apply to or prohibit (i) any mortgaging, subjection to deed of trust or other hypothecation of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, (ii) any sale of the Leased Premises pursuant to a
private power of sale under or judicial foreclosure of any Mortgage or other security instrument or device to which Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises is now or hereafter subject, (iii) any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the

written approval of Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.

Landlord and Tenant in their reasonable discretion which shall be no later than sixty (60) days following acceptance of the Offer or the date specified in the Third Party Contract, if applicable (the “Purchase Date”), Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, or to any Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the ROFO Purchase Price and all other sums payable by Tenant under the Offer, in Federal Funds, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant or its designee (i) special warranty deeds or

to receive a Net Award for a Casualty or Condemnation which shall have occurred after the date on which Landlord shall have made the Offer to Tenant or its designee. Upon the completion of such purchase by Tenant or its designee, this Lease and all
obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder shall terminate, except any obligations of Tenant under this Lease, actual or contingent, which arise on or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease or which survive such expiration, or
termination by their own terms. Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the Purchase Price due to Landlord; provided, that no

payable until completion of such purchase.

following dates (the “Option Purchase Date”): (A) with respect to the First Option (the “First Option”) during the period from August 1,2013 to August 31, 2013 (the “First Option Purchase Date”) or,
if the First Option is not exercised, a second Option (the “Second Option”) on any date during the last five (5) business days of the Initial Term (the “Second Option Purchase Date”) or, if the First Option and the

 SECTION 2. HOLDERS 
  
 A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each, a “Holder”) whenever such Person
owns Transfer Restricted Securities. 
  
 SECTION 3. REGISTERED
EXCHANGE OFFER 
  
 (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be
permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below have been complied with), the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the
Commission no later than 90 days after the Closing Date (such 90th day being the “Filing Deadline”), (ii) use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective no later
than 180 days after the Closing Date (such 180th day being the “Effectiveness Deadline”) and (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be
necessary in order to cause it to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and (C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in connection with
the registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i)
registration of the offer and issuance of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Initial Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Initial
Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c)
below. 
  
 (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their
respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal
and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to
be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event later than 30 Business Days thereafter, or longer, if required by the federal securities laws (the last day of such
period being the “Consummation Deadline”). 
  
 (c) The Company shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were
acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers 

  

 4 

 
that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such
Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement.

  
 Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the
Company and Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the
Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer is Consummated or such shorter period ending on the date when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement
have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company and the Guarantors shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon request, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such
request, at any time during such period. 
  
 SECTION 4. SHELF
REGISTRATION 
  
 (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company
and the Guarantors are not (A) required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (B) permitted to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the Company and the
Guarantors have complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below) or (ii) any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities notifies the Company prior to 20 Business Days following Consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such Holder
was prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company and
the Guarantors shall: 
  
 (x) use their
respective reasonable best efforts on or prior to 60 days after the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement will not be or cannot be, as the case may be, filed as a result of clause
(a)(i) above and (ii) the date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above (such earlier date, which in no event shall be prior to 90 days following the Closing Date, the “Filing Deadline”), to file a
shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”)), relating to all Transfer Restricted Securities, and

  

 5 

 (y) use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration
Statement to become effective on or prior to the later of (i) 60 days after the Filing Deadline for the Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) 180 days after the Closing Date (such later day, the “Effectiveness Deadline”).

  
 If, after the Company and the Guarantors have filed an
Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Company and the Guarantors are required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted
under applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i)(B) above), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Company and the Guarantors
shall remain obligated to meet the Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y). 
  
 To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other
securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously
effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as
announced from time to time, until the expiration of the period referred to in Rule 144(k) (as extended pursuant to Section 6(d)), or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration
Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. 
  
 (b) Provision by
Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement
unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 calendar days after receipt of a request therefor, the information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act for use in connection with any
Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided
all such information. Each selling Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. 
  
 SECTION 5. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 
  
 (a) Liquidated Damages. If (i) any Registration Statement required by
this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii) any such Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the
Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its
intended purpose without being succeeded as promptly as reasonably practicable by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures 

  

 6 

 
such failure and that is itself declared effective thereafter (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration
Default”), then the Company and the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby liquidated damages in an amount equal to $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal
amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default continues for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default. The amount of the
liquidated damages shall increase by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount
of liquidated damages of $0.20 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities; provided that the Company and the Guarantors shall in no event be required to pay liquidated damages for more than one Registration Default at
any given time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness
of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (ii) above, (3) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii) above, or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the case
of (iv) above, the liquidated damages payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, shall cease. 
  
 (b) Accrued Damages. All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner
provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which liquidated damages are due cease to be Transfer
Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to pay liquidated damages with respect to securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

  
 SECTION 6. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 
  
 (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the
Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall (x) comply with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use their respective reasonable best efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of Exchange Notes by
Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of its market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the
Company or any of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions: 
  
 (i) If, following the date hereof there has been announced a change in Commission policy with respect to
exchange offers such as the Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree
to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the 

  

 7 

 
Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to pursue the
issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level. In connection with the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to take all such other actions as may be requested by the Commission or otherwise required in connection with
the issuance of such decision, including without limitation (A) participating in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any,
upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution (which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff. 
  
 (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities (including, without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company and the Guarantors (which may be
contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business. As a condition to its participation in the
Exchange Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes acquired directly
from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon
Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to
clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration
statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K. 
  
 (iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall provide a supplemental
letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company and the Guarantors are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and
Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, (B) including a representation that
neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s
information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange
Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable. 
  

 8 

 (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company
and the Guarantors shall: 
  
 (i) comply with all
the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use their respective reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution
thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company and the Guarantors will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration
on any appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise in accordance
with the provisions hereof; 
  
 (ii) issue, upon
the request of any Holder or purchaser of Initial Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes sold
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and surrendered to the Company for cancellation; the Company shall register Exchange Notes on the Shelf Registration Statement for this purpose and issue the Exchange Notes to the purchaser(s) of
securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement in the names as such purchaser(s) shall designate; 
  
 (iii) advise each Holder promptly and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments
to the Shelf Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding
purposes, and (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by
reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Shelf Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
  
 (iv) furnish to each Holder in connection with such exchange or sale, if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Shelf
Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration
Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Holders in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least (A) five (5) Business Days in the case of the initial Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus or
(B) two (2) Business Days in the case of any amendment or supplement thereto, and the Company will not file any such 

  

 9 

 
Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such
documents incorporated by reference) to which the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared shall reasonably object within five Business
Days after the receipt thereof; provided that the Company may assume, for the purposes of this subparagraph (iv), that objections to the inclusion of information specifically requested to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement by the
staff of the SEC, or in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, required to be in the Registration Statement, or specifically required by applicable law, shall not be deemed to be reasonable. A Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably
objected to such filing if such Shelf Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act; 
  
 (v) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus
in connection with such exchange or sale, if any, provide copies of such document to each Holder, make the Company’s and the Guarantors’ representatives available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters,
and include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such Holders may reasonably request; 
  
 (vi) make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each Holder and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents of the Company and the Guarantors and cause the Company’s and the Guarantors’ officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder,
attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness; provided, however, that such Persons first agree in writing with the
Company that any information that is reasonably and in good faith designated by the Company in writing as confidential at the time of delivery of such information will be kept confidential by such Persons, unless (A) disclosure of such information
is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquires of regulatory authorities, (B) disclosure of such information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities laws in
connection with the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus), (C) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard such information by such
Person or (D) such information becomes available to such Person from a source other than the Company and its subsidiaries and such source is not known, after reasonable inquiry, by such Person to be bound by a confidentiality agreement; provided
further that, to the extent the foregoing investigation is being made contemporaneously by more than two Holders, there shall be (x) one attorney and one accountant retained by all Holders to make such investigation and (y) not more than two
representatives designated by and on behalf of all Holders to make such investigation for all Holders, and any such confidential information delivered to any such representative may be disclosed to the other Holders so long as the Holder agrees to
be bound by such confidentiality agreement; 
  

 10 

 (vii) if requested by any Holders in connection with such sale, promptly include in any
Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such Holders may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to
the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities; provided that the Company does not have to include any information not specifically requested to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement by the staff of the
SEC, or in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, required to be in the Registration Statement, or specifically required by applicable law; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as
practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
  
 (viii) furnish to each Holder in connection with such sale, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first
filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, and, upon request, all exhibits; 
  
 (ix) upon the request of any Holder, enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements) and make such representations and
warranties and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement as may be
reasonably requested by any Holder in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement. In such connection, the Company and the Guarantors shall: 
  
 (A) upon request of any Holder, furnish (or in the case of paragraphs (2) and (3), use their respective
reasonable best efforts to cause to be furnished) to each Holder, upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement: 
  
 (1) a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the Company and each Guarantor by (x) the President or any Vice President and (y)
a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company and such Guarantor, confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in paragraphs 10(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of the Purchase Agreement and such other similar matters as such
Holders may reasonably request; 
  
 (2) an
opinion, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors in customary form covering matters and beliefs similar to those set forth in Exhibits D-1, D-2, D-3 and D-4 to the Purchase
Agreement and such other matters as such Holder may reasonably request; and 
  
 (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, or as of the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, from the Company’s independent
accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings, and

affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 10(k) of the Purchase Agreement; and 

  
 (B) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be
reasonably requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance with clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in the any agreement entered into by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this clause (ix); and 
  
 (x) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted
Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders may
request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that neither
the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters
and transactions relating to the Shelf Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. 
  
 (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company and the
Guarantors shall: 
  
 (i) use their respective
reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event that
would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall file promptly
an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if Commission review is required, use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable. If at any time
the Commission issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority issues an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the
Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time; 
  
 (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may be; cause the Prospectus to be
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, and to comply with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of
the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration 

  

 12 

 
Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such
Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 
  
 (iii) subject to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(b)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related
Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
  

(iv) deliver to each Holder without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment
or supplement thereto as such Holders reasonably may request; the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use (in accordance with law) of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder in connection with the
offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
  
 (v) in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted
Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the registrar of the Transfer Restricted Securities to register such Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations and such names as the selling Holders may request at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities; 
  
 (vi) use their respective
reasonable best efforts to cause the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the
seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not now so
qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

  
 (vii) provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer
Restricted Securities not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are
in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company; 
  
 (viii) otherwise use their respective best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders with regard to any applicable Registration
Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Act (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as
such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act); and 
  

 13 

 (ix) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date
of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance
with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the
Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner. 
  
 (d) Restrictions on Holders. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(b)(iii)(C) or any notice from the Company of the
existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(b)(iii)(D) hereof (in each case, a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable
Registration Statement until (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be
resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the “Recommencement Date”). Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees that
it will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession which have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company’s
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The time period regarding
the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days in the period from and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice to
the Recommencement Date. 
  
 SECTION 7. REGISTRATION EXPENSES

  
 (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s and the
Guarantors’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii)
all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of
Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, the Guarantors; (v) all reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel for the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities, as provided in Section 7(b); and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to
such performance). 
  
 The Company will, in any event, bear its
and the Guarantors’ internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing 

  

 14 

 
legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company or
the Guarantors. 
  
 (b) In connection with any Registration
Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities who are tendering Initial Notes into in the Exchange Offer and/or selling or reselling Initial Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or
the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, unless another firm shall be chosen by the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared. 
  
 (c) Each Holder will pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 (a)
The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, (including without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that
could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) provided by the Company to any Holder or any prospective purchaser of Exchange Notes or registered Initial Notes, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon
information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders; provided that the indemnification contained in this Section 8(a) with respect to a preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of
any Holder (or to the benefit of any person controlling such Holder) on account of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment arising from the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities by such Holder to any person if the untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in a preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus and, due to the wrongful actions or wrongful inaction of such Holder, such Holder did not send or
give in a timely manner, a copy of the Prospectus to such person (as then amended or supplemented) if the Company had previously furnished sufficient copies thereof to such Holder in a timely basis. 
  
 (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, and their respective directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or 

  

 15 

 
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, or the Guarantors to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors set forth in
section (a) above, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any Person
who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i)
the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 
  
 (c)
In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the “indemnified party”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom
such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying person”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume and control the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party
and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the
defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder). Any
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such
counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of such counsel, that there may be one
or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in
writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company and Guarantors, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold
harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action effected with its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified
party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, 

  

 16 

 
unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are or could
have been the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. 
  
 (d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders,
on the other hand, from their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, 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 such Guarantor, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on the other hand,
and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) 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 which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total received by such Holder
with respect to the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages which 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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by each
Holder hereunder and not joint. 
  

 17 

 SECTION 9. RULE 144A AND RULE 144 
  
 The Company and each Guarantor agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding
and during any period in which the Company or such Guarantor (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in
connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to Rule 144. 
  
 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

  
 (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor
any Guarantor will, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
Neither the Company nor any Guarantor has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person that would require such securities to be included in any Registration Statement filed
hereunder. 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 the Company’s and the Guarantors’ securities under any agreement in effect on the
date hereof. 
  
 (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions
of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 10(b)(i), the Company has obtained the
written or electronic consent of Holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates) and (ii) in the case of all other provisions
hereof, the Company has obtained the written or electronic consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates). In
such case, such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent may be effected without the consent of the Initial Purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively
to the rights of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are not being tendered
pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to such Exchange Offer. 
  
 (c) Additional Guarantors. The Company shall cause any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the
Indenture) that becomes, prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, a Guarantor in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture to become a party to this Agreement as a Guarantor. It is understood and agreed that if, prior to the
Exchange Offer, a Guarantor that has executed this Agreement is no longer a Guarantor under 

  

 18 

 
the Indenture pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, such Guarantor shall no longer be a Guarantor for purposes of this
Agreement. 
  
 (d) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders
shall be third party beneficiaries 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
they may deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder. 
  
 (e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail

Indenture; and
