to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for a public offering of all or part of its or their Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”), by delivering to the Corporation written notice stating that such right
is being exercised, naming, if applicable and to the extent known by such Holder or Holders, any other Holders whose Registrable Securities are to be included in such registration (collectively, the “Requesting Holders”), specifying

Requesting Holder and, subject to Section 2.1.4 hereof, describing the intended method of distribution thereof (a “Demand Request”). Subject to Section 2.1.3, after receipt of any Demand Request, the
Corporation shall comply with the applicable notice requirements set forth in Section 2.1.5. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 2.1.3 and Section 2.1.7, the Corporation shall file the registration statement in respect of a Demand Registration as promptly as practicable and, in any event, (i) with respect to the filing of a Form S-3,
within forty-five (45) days and (ii) with respect to the filing of any other type of registration statement, within ninety (90) days after receiving a Demand Request, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the same to be
declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing. 
 Section 2.1.2 Shelf Registration;
Take-Downs. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2.1.3, with respect to any Demand Registration, at any time that the
Corporation is eligible to use Form S-3 or an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on Form S-3 (or any successor forms) with respect to the Registrable Securities, the Requesting Holders may
request that the Corporation (i) file a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) to effect such Demand Registration, or (ii) at any time that a registration statement pursuant to
Rule 415 covering Registrable Securities is effective, register additional Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders pursuant to such shelf registration statement to effect such Demand Registration (in either case, a “Shelf
Registration”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Shelf Registration shall be deemed a “Demand Registration” for all purposes under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1.3. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.1.3, any Holder or Holders with Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration
that intends to effect an underwritten offering with respect to such Registrable Securities shall deliver a notice to the Corporation at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of such underwritten offering, stating (i) that such

a non-underwritten sale or transfer of all or part of the Registrable Securities included by such Holder in the Shelf Registration, (ii) the number and type of the Registrable Securities to be included in such sale or transfer and
(iii) the proposed manner and timetable for such sale or transfer. A notice provided by any Requesting Holder pursuant to the first two sentences of this Section 2.1.2(b) is referred to herein as a “Transfer
Notice.” Subject to Section 2.1.3, after receipt of any Transfer Notice, the Corporation shall comply with the applicable notice requirements set forth in Section 2.1.5. For the avoidance of doubt, a Take-Down shall
not be deemed to be a Demand Registration and shall not be subject to Section 2.1.3. 
 (c) Subject to
Section 2.1.3, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any Shelf Registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1.2(a) continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the prospectus
forming a part thereof to be usable by the Holders until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration or another registration statement filed under the Securities Act (but
in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder) and (ii) the date as of which all of such Requesting Holders are permitted to sell their Registrable Securities
without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume limitation or other restrictions on transfer thereunder.

the Corporation for such Shelf Registration.

Holder would own no further Registrable Securities. 
 (e) The Corporation shall not be required to effect, (i) until

(12) month period, and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 2.1.3 shall not apply to any non-underwritten Take-Down by any Holder under a Shelf Registration.

commitment.” With respect to any such underwritten offering, (i) the UST, or if the UST is not participating in the proposed offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or included in such
underwritten offering shall select the investment banking firm or firms to lead the underwritten offering (the “Lead Underwriters”); provided that such Lead Underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, and

Canada, or if the UST or Canada is not participating in the proposed offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or included in such underwritten offering. 
  

 8 

 (b) If a Demand Registration is for an underwritten offering or a transfer pursuant to a
Shelf Registration involves an underwritten offering, no Holder may participate in any such underwritten offering unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting

Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, (B) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer, and (C) such matters pertaining to
compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested; provided, further, however, that (i) any obligation (if agreed to) of each such Holder to indemnify the Lead Underwriters and any Co-Managers pursuant to any
such underwriting arrangements shall (1) only be with respect to information it provides to the Corporation in writing for use in such underwritten offering, (2) be several, not joint and several, and (3) be limited to the net amount
received by such Holder from the sale of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such offering and (ii) neither the Government Holders nor the VEBA shall be required to indemnify any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement.

of their receipt of the Corporation’s notice, to elect to include in such Demand Registration or underwritten offering such portion of their Registrable Securities as they may request. All Holders requesting to have their Registrable

Corporation may register in any Demand Registration any equity securities of the Corporation.

the inclusion of the securities proposed to be included in such registration would adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the offering or otherwise adversely affect its success (an “Adverse Effect”), the Corporation
shall include in such underwritten offering (a) first, the Registrable Securities, pro rata among the Requesting Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Requesting Holder, and (b) second, any other

 Section 2.1.7 Deferral of Filing; Suspension of Use. The Corporation may defer the
filing (but not the preparation) or the effectiveness, or suspend the use, of any registration statement required by or filed pursuant to Section 2.1, at any time if (a) the Corporation determines, in its sole discretion, that such
action or use (or proposed action or use) would require the Corporation to make an Adverse Disclosure, or (b) prior to receiving the Demand Request or Transfer Notice, as applicable, the board of directors of the Corporation had determined to
effect a registered underwritten public offering of Company equity securities or Company securities convertible into or exchangeable for Company equity securities for the Corporation’s account and the Corporation had taken substantial steps
(such as selecting a managing underwriter for such offering) and is proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such offering; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not exercise its rights to deferral or suspension pursuant
to this Section 2.1.7, and shall not so effect any such deferral or suspension, for more than a total of one hundred eighty (180) days (which need not be consecutive) in any consecutive twelve (12) month period. In making any
such determination to defer the filing or effectiveness, or suspend the use, of a registration statement required by Section 2.1, the Corporation shall not be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Holder or any investment
manager therefor, and any such determination shall be in the sole discretion of the Corporation, and neither the Holders nor any investment manager for any Holder shall be responsible or have any liability therefor. The Corporation shall promptly
notify the Holders of any deferral or suspension pursuant to this Section 2.1.7 and the Corporation agrees that it will terminate any such deferral or suspension as promptly as reasonably practicable and will promptly notify each Holder
in writing of the termination of any such deferral or suspension. 
 Section 2.1.8 Withdrawal from Demand Registration.
Any Holder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration or underwritten offering at any time (prior to a sale thereunder) by providing the Corporation with written notice. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Corporation
shall continue all efforts to secure registration or effect the underwritten offering of the remaining Registrable Securities not requested to be withdrawn, unless the remaining Registrable Securities would not meet the requirements of
Section 2.1.3(b) or Section 2.1.3(d), in which case, the Corporation may in its sole discretion cease all efforts to proceed with registration or the underwritten offering. If the Corporation ceases all efforts to secure
registration or effect the underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 2.1.8, then such registration or underwritten offering shall nonetheless be deemed an effective or completed Demand Registration or completed underwritten offering
pursuant to a Shelf Registration for all purposes hereunder unless (i) the withdrawal is made following the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change not known to the Requesting Holders at the time of the Demand Request or Transfer Notice or
(ii) the Requesting Holders pay or reimburse the Corporation for all out-of-pocket fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such Demand Registration or underwritten offering; provided that if, after a Demand Registration
has become effective or an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities has been commenced, it is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, it shall be deemed not
to have been effected and shall not count as a Demand Registration or underwritten offering for the purposes of Section 2.1.3.

(15) days after the date of such notice from the Corporation. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering pursuant to this
Section 2.2.1 by giving written notice to the Corporation of such withdrawal. Subject to Section 2.2.2 below, the Corporation shall include in such underwritten offering all such Registrable Securities so requested to be
included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may at any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such offering if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the offering of all other equity securities
originally proposed to be included in such offering. 
 Section 2.2.2 Priority on Piggyback Offerings.

included, such Holder may withdraw its request to include its Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Offering. 
 (b) If a
Piggyback Offering was initiated by a security holder of the Corporation (other than a Holder), and if the managing underwriter advises that the inclusion of the securities proposed to be included in such Piggyback Offering would cause an Adverse
Effect, the Corporation shall include in such Piggyback Offering (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the security holders requesting such Piggyback Offering and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in

Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Offering that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Offering. 
 (c) No Holder may participate in a Piggyback Offering unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities
on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Corporation and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents, each in customary form and
reasonably satisfactory to the Holders, reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties in connection with any
such registration other than representations and warranties as to (A) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, (B) such Holder’s power
and authority to effect such transfer, and (C) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested; provided, further, however, that (i) any obligation, if agreed to, of each such
Holder to indemnify the underwriters pursuant to any such underwriting arrangements shall (1) only be with respect to information it provides to the Corporation in writing for use in such underwritten offering, (2) be several, not joint
and several, and (3) be limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration and (ii) neither the Government Holders nor the VEBA shall be required to indemnify any
Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 2.2.3 Selection of Underwriters. The Corporation shall select the
investment banking firm or firms to manage the Piggyback Offering. 
 Section 2.2.4 No registration of Registrable

or Section 2.1.2. 
 Section 2.3 SEC Form S-3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Corporation shall
use its reasonable best efforts to cause Demand Registrations to be registered on Form S-3 or an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on Form S-3 (or any successor forms) once the Corporation
becomes eligible to use such form, and if the Corporation is not then eligible under the Securities Act to use such form, Demand Registrations shall be registered on the form for which the Corporation then qualifies. After becoming eligible to use
Form S-3 or an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on Form S-3, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain so eligible. 
 Section 2.4 Holdback Agreements. 
 (a) The Corporation shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its equity securities, except in each case as part of
the offering pursuant to a Demand Registration, during the sixty (60) day period (or such lesser period as the Lead Underwriters or managing underwriters may permit) beginning on the effective date of any registration statement in connection

 (b) If any Holders of Registrable Securities provide a Transfer Notice relating to an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities
registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the Corporation shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its equity securities, except in each case
as part of such underwritten offering, during the sixty (60) day period (or such lesser period as the Lead Underwriters or managing underwriters may permit) beginning on the pricing date for such underwritten offering, except for (i) sales
or distributions pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form, (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange, by the holder thereof, of options, warrants or other securities

underwriters may permit) beginning on the effective date of the registration statement for such underwritten offering (or, in the case of an offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415, the pricing date for
such underwritten offering); provided, however, that (i) any applicable period shall terminate on such earlier date as the Corporation gives notice to the Holders that the Corporation declines to proceed with any such offering and
(ii) the sum of all holdback periods applicable to the Holders shall not exceed one hundred twenty (120) days (which need not be consecutive) in any given twelve (12) month period.

 Section 2.5 Registration Procedures. 
 (a) If and whenever the Corporation is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale, as applicable, of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof, and pursuant thereto the Corporation shall as expeditiously as possible: 
 (i) prepare and file with the SEC,
pursuant to Section 2.1 with respect to any Demand Registration, a registration statement on any appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable; provided that as far in advance as practicable before filing such registration statement or any amendment thereto, the Corporation shall furnish to the selling Holders
copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents prepared to be filed (including exhibits), and any such selling Holder shall have the opportunity to object to any information contained therein and the Corporation shall make corrections
reasonably requested by such selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing any such registration statement or amendment; provided, further, that the Corporation shall not file any such registration statement, and any
amendment thereto, to which a Holder shall reasonably object in writing on a timely basis, unless in the Corporation’s judgment such filing is necessary to comply with applicable law; 
 (ii) except in the case of a Shelf Registration, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, post-effective amendments, and supplements
to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days (or such lesser period as is necessary
for the underwriters in an underwritten offering to sell unsold allotments) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the selling Holders thereof set forth in such registration statement; 
 (iii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, comply with the provisions of Section 2.1.2(c) and Section 2.1.2(d); 
 (iv) furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities and the underwriters of the securities being registered, without charge, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and
supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), any documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such selling Holders or underwriters may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holders or the sale of such securities by such underwriters (it being understood that, subject to Section 2.1.7,
Section 2.4(c), Section 2.6 and Section 2.7 and the requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Corporation consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto by each selling Holder and the underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement of which such prospectus, amendment or supplement is a part); 
  

 14 

 (v) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities
under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Lead Underwriters or managing underwriters reasonably request (or, in the event the registration statement does not relate to an underwritten offering, as the
selling Holders of a majority of such Registrable Securities being offered may reasonably request); use its reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period in which such
registration statement is required to be kept effective; and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each selling Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
selling Holder in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
subparagraph, (B) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (C) take any action that would subject it to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject; 

(vi) promptly notify each selling Holder and each underwriter and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing
(A) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (B) of the issuance by any
state securities or other regulatory authority of any order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities under state securities or “blue sky” laws or the initiation, or threatened
initiation, of any proceedings for that purpose, or (C) of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in a registration statement or related prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any changes in such registration
statement, prospectus or documents so that they shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, as promptly
as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter deliverable to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 (vii) permit any selling Holder that might reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter or a Controlling Person of the Corporation to
participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Corporation in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should be
included; 
 (viii) make available members of the management of the Corporation or the applicable Corporation subsidiaries for
reasonable assistance in the selling efforts relating to any offering of Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent customary for such offering (including, without limitation, to the
extent customary, senior management attendance at due diligence meetings with prospective investors or underwriters and their counsel and road shows); provided, however, that management need only be made available for one such offering
for each of the UST, Canada and the VEBA in any twelve (12) month period; 
  

 15 

 (ix) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC, including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and make generally available to the Corporation’s security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the twelve (12) month period beginning with the first day of the Corporation’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of a
registration statement, which earnings statement shall cover said twelve (12) month period, and which requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied if the Corporation timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K
under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act; 
 (x) if requested by the Lead
Underwriters, managing underwriters or any selling Holder, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Lead Underwriters, managing underwriters or any selling Holder reasonably requests to be
included therein, including, with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold by the selling Holders, the purchase price being paid therefor by the underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable
Securities to be sold in such offering, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (xi) as promptly as practicable after filing with the SEC of any document which is incorporated by reference into a registration statement (in the form in which it was incorporated), deliver a copy of each such
document to each selling Holder; 
 (xii) cooperate with the selling Holders and Lead Underwriters or the managing
underwriters to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under applicable law) representing securities sold under any registration statement, and enable such
securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Lead Underwriters, managing underwriters or such selling Holders may request at least two (2) business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities and keep
available and make available to the Corporation’s transfer agent prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement a supply of such certificates; 
 (xiii) promptly make available for inspection by any selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any
registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or Representative retained by any such selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records and pertinent corporate
documents (collectively, the “Records”) and properties of the Corporation, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Corporation’s officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that, unless the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in the registration statement or the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation shall not be required to provide any information under
this subparagraph (xiii) if (A) the Corporation believes, after consultation with counsel for the Corporation, that to do so would cause the Corporation to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or
(B) if either (1) the Corporation has requested 

  

 16 

 
and been granted from the SEC confidential treatment of such information contained in any filing with the SEC or documents provided supplementally or
otherwise or (2) the Corporation reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing, unless prior to furnishing any such information with respect to clause (B) such selling
Holder of Registrable Securities requesting such information agrees to enter into a confidentiality agreement in a form acceptable to the Corporation; and provided, further, that each selling Holder of Registrable Securities agrees
that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Corporation and allow the Corporation, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the
Records deemed confidential; 
 (xiv) furnish to each selling Holder and underwriter a signed counterpart of (A) an
opinion or opinions of counsel to the Corporation (which may be in-house counsel) provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to such Holders and the underwriter, and (B) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the
Corporation’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the selling Holders, Lead Underwriters or managing
underwriters reasonably requests; 
 (xv) cause the Registrable Securities included in any registration to be (A) in the
case of an IPO, listed on a securities exchange or exchanges or an inter-dealer quotation system, as determined by the Corporation, or (B) in the case of a registration other than an IPO, (1) listed on each securities exchange, if any, on
which similar securities issued by the Corporation are then listed or (2) quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system if similar securities issued by the Corporation are quoted thereon, as applicable; 
 (xvi) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered hereunder and provide a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; 
 (xvii) cooperate with each
selling Holder and each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”); 
 (xviii) during the period when the prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; 
 (xix) notify each selling Holder of Registrable Securities promptly of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information; 

(xx) subject to Section 2.1.4(b) and Section 2.2.2(c), enter into such agreements (including underwriting
agreements) as are customary in connection with an underwritten registration; and 
  

 17 

 (xxi) advise each selling Holder of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it
receives notice or obtains knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its
reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued. 
 (b) The selling Holders shall reasonably cooperate with the Corporation in the preparation and filing of any registration statement under
the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement and provide the Corporation with all information reasonably necessary to complete such preparation as the Corporation may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing, and the Corporation may
exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder (or not proceed with such registration) if such selling Holder unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.
Promptly following any sale or other transfer of any Registrable Securities, each Holder shall notify the Corporation in writing thereof, which notice shall specify the amount and type of securities involved, the date of the sale or transfer and
whether the sale or transfer was effected under a registration statement or otherwise. 
 (c) Each of the parties shall treat
all notices of proposed transfers and registrations, and all information relating to any blackout periods under Section 2.1.7 received from another party with the strictest confidence (and in accordance with the terms of any applicable
confidentiality agreement among the Corporation and the Holder) and shall not disseminate such information. 
 Section 2.6 Issuer Free
Writing Prospectuses. The Corporation represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in a registration or offering or the approval of the counsel for such
Holders, and each of the Holders represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Corporation, it shall not make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing
prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, required to
be filed with the SEC. The Corporation represents that any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in a registration statement or prospectus and that any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, when taken together with the information in the registration statement and the prospectus, shall not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 Section 2.7 Suspension of Dispositions. Each Holder agrees
that upon receipt of any notice (a “Suspension Notice”) from the Corporation of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.5(a)(vi)(B) or (C) or Section 2.5(a)(xxi) such Holder
shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Corporation that the
use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Corporation, such Holder shall deliver to the Corporation all
copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event 

  

 18 

 
the Corporation shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of registration statements set forth in
Section 2.5(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of the Suspension Notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or the Advice. The Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to render the
Advice as promptly as practicable. 
 Section 2.8 Registration Expenses. The Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses
incident to the performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Article 2, including (a) all registration and filing fees, including fees and expenses (i) with respect to filings required to be made with all applicable
securities exchanges and/or FINRA and (ii) of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws including any fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriter(s) in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(v), (b) printing expenses, including expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing
prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by the Lead Underwriters or managing underwriter(s), if any, or by the Holder, (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Corporation, (d) fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Corporation, (e) expenses of the Corporation incurred in connection with any “road show” or other marketing efforts, (f) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants (including, without
limitation, the expenses of any special audit and “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to this Agreement) and any other Persons, including special experts, retained by the Corporation, and (g) fees up to $250,000 plus
reasonable disbursements of one legal counsel for the Requesting Holders in connection with each registration or offering of their Registrable Securities or sale (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Take-Down) of their Registrable Securities
under a Shelf Registration but only if such registration, offering or sale either is effected or, pursuant to Section 2.7, is postponed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation shall not be required to pay any, and each Holder shall
pay its own, underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement, or any other expenses of any Holder. In addition, the Corporation
shall bear all of its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the
securities to be registered on any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Corporation are then listed and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the
Corporation. 
 Section 2.9 Indemnification. 
 Section 2.9.1 Indemnification by the Corporation. The Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, each Holder, the trustees of any Holder, the investment manager or managers acting on behalf of any Holder with respect to the Registrable Securities, Persons, if any, who Control any of them, and each of their respective
Representatives (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal
expenses) (“Losses”) arising out of 

  

 19 

 
or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement described herein or any related
prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Corporation shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or arising out of 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 in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses
arise out of or are caused by any such untrue statement or omission included or omitted in conformity with information furnished to the Corporation in writing by such Indemnitee or any Person acting on behalf of such Indemnitee expressly for use
therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectuses or Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses shall not inure to the benefit of such Indemnitee if the Person asserting any Losses
against such Indemnitee purchased Registrable Securities and (a) prior to the time of sale of the Registrable Securities to such Person (the “Initial Sale Time”) the Corporation shall have notified the respective Holder that
the preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as it existed prior to the Initial Sale Time) contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, (b) such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was corrected in a preliminary prospectus or, where permitted by law, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and such corrected preliminary prospectus or Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus was provided to such Holder a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Initial Sale Time such that the corrected preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus could have been provided to such Person prior to the
Initial Sale Time, (c) such corrected preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) was not conveyed to such Person at or prior to the Initial
Sale Time and (d) such Losses would not have occurred had the corrected preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) been conveyed to such Person
as provided for in clause (c) above. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Corporation may otherwise have under this Agreement or otherwise. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of any Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by any Holder. 
 Section 2.9.2 Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder (other than the Government Holders, the VEBA and the Debtor) agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless each of the Corporation, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each Person, if any, who Controls the Corporation, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Corporation, but only with respect to Losses arising out
of or caused by an untrue statement or omission included or omitted in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the respective Holder expressly for use in any registration statement described herein or any related
prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Corporation shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto). No claim against the assets of any Holder shall be created by this
Section 2.9.2, except as and to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be liable to the Corporation or any such Person for any amount in excess of the net amount received by the Holder from
the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering giving rise to such liability. 
  

 20 

 Section 2.9.3 Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) In case any claim is asserted or any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted where indemnity may be
sought by an Indemnitee pursuant to any of the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.9, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify in writing the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnitor”);
provided, however, that the omission so to notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability which it may have to such Indemnitee except to the extent that the Indemnitor was prejudiced by such failure to notify.
The Indemnitor, upon request of the Indemnitee, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent (subject to the following sentences of this Section 2.9.3(a)) the Indemnitee and any others the Indemnitor may
designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless (a) the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) the Indemnitor fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently any claim
within ten calendar days after receiving written notice from the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee believes the Indemnitor has failed to take such steps, or (c) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests or legal defenses between them and, in all such cases, the Indemnitor shall only be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. It is understood that the Indemnitor shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnitees not having actual or potential differing interests or legal defenses among them, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred. The Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding affected without its written consent. 
 (b)
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is unavailable to an Indemnitee in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnitor, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee hereunder, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and Persons acting on behalf of or Controlling the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee in
connection with the statements or omissions or violations which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. If the indemnification described in Section 2.9.1 or Section 2.9.2 is
unavailable to an Indemnitee, the relative fault of the Corporation, any Holder and Persons acting on behalf of or Controlling the Corporation or any such Holder 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 Corporation, a Holder or by Persons acting on behalf of the Corporation or any Holder and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Indemnitor shall not be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 2.9.3(b) if there has been a settlement of
any proceeding affected without its written consent. No claim against the assets of any Holder shall be created by this Section 2.9.3(b), except as and to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder
shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering giving rise to such liability. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Government Holders, the VEBA
or the Debtor shall be required to make any contribution to any Indemnitee under this Section 2.9.3(b). 
  

 21 

 Section 2.9.4 Survival. The indemnification contained in this
Section 2.9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement. 
 Section
2.10 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights and obligations of a Holder under this Agreement may be assigned to any transferee or assignee that directly acquires Registrable Securities from such Holder (including, without limitation, in
connection with any such assignment by either Government Holder or the VEBA to an affiliate Controlled by such Government Holder or the VEBA, as applicable (provided that Canada may also effect such assignment to an affiliate Controlled by
Canada Development Investment Corporation, a Crown corporation and the sole shareholder of Canada, or to an affiliate Controlled by the federal government of Canada, and any of its respective departments, or any corporation or other entity wholly
owned by one or more of them), and in connection with any such assignment by the Debtor to any successor in interest, including any liquidating trust established under a plan of reorganization or liquidation that has been confirmed by any bankruptcy
court of competent jurisdiction), but only if (a) the respective Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Corporation concurrent with such transfer or
assignment and (b) concurrent with such transfer or assignment, such transferee or assignee furnishes the Corporation with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Corporation to be bound by all the provisions and obligations contained herein as a Holder hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(x) any transferee or assignee who becomes bound by the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.10 shall have all rights and obligations as a “Holder” hereunder but, unless such transferee or
assignee is either (1) an Affiliate of the UST, Canada, the VEBA or the Debtor or (2) a successor in interest of the Debtor, including any liquidating trust established under a plan of reorganization or liquidation that has been confirmed
by any bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, such transferee or assignee shall not have any of the rights hereunder that are specific to the UST, Canada, the VEBA or the Debtor, as applicable, and (y) the rights of the Debtor under this
Agreement shall not be assigned by the Debtor in connection with the distribution of any Registrable Securities from the Debtor as part of any plan of reorganization or liquidation that has been confirmed by any bankruptcy court of competent
jurisdiction other than any distribution of any Registrable Securities that may be deemed to have been made from the Debtor to any successor in interest, including any liquidating trust established under a plan of reorganization or liquidation that
has been confirmed by any bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Section 2.11 Rule 144. After such time as the Corporation has
registered a class of equity securities under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise is required to report under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Corporation shall file the reports required to be filed
by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the
Holders to sell Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions 

  

 22 

 
provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter
adopted by the SEC. The Corporation shall promptly upon the request of any Holder furnish to such Holder evidence of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, as of the most recent date practicable. Any sale or transfer by a Holder of
Registrable Securities that could have been effected either as a sale of securities pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) or a sale covered by a Shelf Registration shall be deemed for all
purposes under this Agreement to be a sale or transfer by such Holder pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 
 Section 2.12 Preservation of Rights. 
 (a) The Corporation will not (x) grant any registration rights to
third parties which are inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder or (y) enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that violates the rights expressly granted to the Holders in
this Agreement. 
 (b) If the Corporation grants any registration rights to a third party that are more favorable to such
party than the rights granted to any of the UST, Canada, the VEBA and the Debtor hereunder, the UST, Canada, the VEBA and the Debtor shall be entitled to have their registration rights improved to the level of the registration rights of such third
party, and all of the parties hereto shall execute an amendment to this Agreement reflecting such more favorable rights. 
 Section 2.13
Registration of Common Stock under Exchange Act; Listing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) file with the SEC a registration statement to register its
Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than July 31, 2010 and (ii) cause its Common Stock to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange or
any other national securities exchange in connection with a distribution, if any, of Registrable Securities by the Debtor pursuant to a plan of reorganization or liquidation that has been confirmed by any bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction.
