with Vera Bradley and that if any agency or court assumes jurisdiction of any complaint or charge against Vera Bradley on behalf of the Employee concerning Employee’s former employment with Vera Bradley, the Employee understands and agrees that
Employee has, by his knowing and willing execution of this Agreement, waived his right to any form of recovery or relief against Vera Bradley relating thereto including, but not limited to, any entitlement to attorney’s fees accruing there

	 	12.	Non-Solicitation. Employee agrees that, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Resignation Date, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly,

company (“Confidential Information”). Employee agrees that he will not at any time without the prior written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer of Vera Bradley, directly or indirectly use, divulge, furnish or make accessible to
any person any Confidential Information, but instead shall keep all Confidential Information strictly and absolutely confidential. 

  

	 	14.	As a further material inducement to Vera Bradley to enter into this Agreement, Employee understands and agrees that if Employee should fail to comply with the
conditions hereof, that this would cause irreparable harm to Vera Bradley in an amount incapable of precise determination. Therefore, Employee agrees that Vera Bradley shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other form of legal and
equitable relief, as appropriate. In the event that the Employee violates Paragraph 13 of this Agreement, Employee shall pay Vera Bradley liquidated damages in the amount of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), plus all reasonable
attorney’s fees and costs expended by Vera Bradley for a proven violation. By signing this Agreement, both parties stipulate and agree that Paragraphs 10 through 14 are both reasonable and fair. This injunctive relief provision applies only to
a breach or violation of any of Paragraphs 10 through 13 by Employee or any agent and not to a breach of any other provision or promise contained in this Agreement. 

 

	 	15.	If at any time, Employee is served with any form of request to disclose information referenced in this Agreement, Employee shall notify Vera Bradley, in writing, prior
to disclosing any information, to provide Vera Bradley with a meaningful opportunity to respond to such a request. 

  

	 	16.	In compliance with the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act (29 U.S.C. § 626(f)), Employee expressly agrees that the following statements are true:

  

	 	(a)	The payment of the Benefit Package described in paragraph 3 above is in addition to the standard employee benefits and anything else of value which Vera Bradley owes
Employee in connection with Employee’s employment with Vera Bradley or the separation of employment. 

  

	 	(b)	Employee has twenty-one (21) days from January 7, 2013, to consider and sign this Agreement. If Employee chooses to sign this Agreement before the end of the
twenty-one (21) day period, that decision is completely voluntary and has not been forced on Employee by Vera Bradley. Employee agrees that any modification to this Agreement, material or otherwise, does not restart, extend or affect in any way
the original 21-day consideration period. 

  
 5 

	 	(c)	Employee will have seven (7) days after signing the Agreement in which to revoke it, and the Agreement will not become effective or enforceable until the end of
those seven (7) days. Such revocation must be received in writing by the company prior to the expiration of the seven (7) day period. 

  

	 	(d)	Employee is now advised in writing to consult an attorney before signing this Agreement. 

 

	 	17.	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and
legal representatives. 

  

	 	18.	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, irrespective of the principles of conflicts
of law. 

  

	 	19.	Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason,
then such provision shall be deemed limited and restricted to the maximum extent that the court shall deem the provision to be enforceable, or, in the event that this is not possible, the provision shall be severed and the validity, legality or
enforceability of any such provision and every other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be in any way impaired. 

  

	 	20.	Return Vera Bradley Property. Employee agrees that if he has not already returned them, that he will return to Vera Bradley all Vera Bradley-owned property,
equipment, files and/or documentation which contain any confidential or proprietary information regarding Vera Bradley which are in the possession or control of Employee. Specifically, the Employee must return the following: a) laptop computer; b)
mobile telephone; c) company credit cards; d) employee security badge. This list is not exhaustive. If Employee has other property of Vera Bradley he agrees that he will return all such property to Vera Bradley before the effective date of this
Agreement. 

  

	 	21.	409A Compliance. To the extent any provision of this Agreement or action by Vera Bradley would subject the Employee to liability for interest or additional
taxes under Code Section 409A, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by Vera Bradley. It is intended that this Agreement will comply with Code Section 409A and the interpretive guidance
thereunder, including the exceptions for short-term deferrals, separation pay arrangements, reimbursements, and in-kind distributions, and this Agreement shall be administered accordingly, and interpreted and construed on a basis consistent with
such intent. Each payment hereunder shall be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. This Agreement may be amended to the extent necessary (including retroactively) by Vera Bradley in order to preserve compliance with Code
Section 409A. The preceding shall not be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect for Employee’s compensation and benefits and Vera Bradley does not guarantee that any compensation or benefits provided under this
Agreement will satisfy the provisions of Code Section 409A.

	 	22.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and fully supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements

to which interest will be paid, the date of such interest payment date, or (B) if no interest has been paid on such Security, from the date of such Security’s original issue. 

3. Shelf Registration. 
 (a) If (i) due to any change in law, Commission policy or applicable interpretations or either of the foregoing by the Commission’s staff, the Issuers determine upon advice of their outside
counsel that they are not permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 2 hereof; (ii) for any other reason the Registered Exchange Offer is not completed within 360 days after the Issue Date;
(iii) prior to the 20th day following the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (x) any Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to Securities that are not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered
Exchange Offer and that are held by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, (y) any Holder notifies the Notes Issuers that it is not or was not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or (z) in the case
of any Initial Purchaser that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer or acquires Exchange Securities pursuant to Section 2(f) hereof, such Initial Purchaser notifies the Notes Issuers that it will not or did not receive freely tradeable
Exchange Securities in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment (it being understood that (A) the requirement that an Initial Purchaser deliver a Prospectus containing the information required by Item 507 or
508 of Regulation S-K under the Act in connection with sales of Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for such Securities shall result in such Exchange Securities being not “freely tradeable”; and (B) the requirement that an
Exchanging Dealer deliver a Prospectus in connection with sales of Exchange Securities acquired in the Registered Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities shall not result
in such Exchange Securities being not “freely tradeable”), the Issuers shall, effect a Shelf Registration in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof. 

  
 -6-

 (b) If a Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed and declared effective
pursuant to this Section 3: 
 (i) the Issuers shall as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than
60 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 3), file with the Commission, and thereafter shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Act within 60 days after the filing thereof with
the Commission, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as applicable, by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such
Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as applicable, held by it covered by
such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder; and provided, further, that with respect to Exchange Securities received by an
Initial Purchaser in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Issuers may, if permitted by current interpretations by the Commission’s staff, file a post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, in satisfaction of their obligations under this subsection with respect thereto, and any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as so
amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (ii) The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the Act, in order to permit the Prospectus
forming part thereof to be usable by Holders until the earliest of (x) one year from the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement and (y) the date on which all the Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, covered by the
Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (in any such case, such period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Issuers shall be deemed not to have used their reasonable
best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if any of them voluntarily takes any action that would reasonably be expected to result in Holders of Securities or Exchange Securities covered thereby not
being able to offer and sell such Securities or Exchange Securities during that period, unless (A) such action is required by applicable law; or (B) such action is taken by such Issuer in good faith and for valid business reasons (not
including avoidance of its obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as the Issuers thereafter comply with the requirements of Section 4(k) hereof, if applicable. 

(iii) The Issuers shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (A) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission; and
(B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

(ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Issuers shall have remedied the basis for such suspension): 

(i) when a Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 

(d) The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness

(f) The Issuers shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities or Exchange Securities
covered by any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) included in such Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably
request. The Issuers consent to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of securities in connection with the offering and sale of the securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (g) The Issuers shall furnish to each

thereto, included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

any other offering of Securities or Exchange Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, the Issuers shall arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities or the Exchange Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions
as any Holder shall reasonably request and will maintain such qualification in effect so long as required; provided that in no event shall any Issuer be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified

process in suits, other than those arising out of the Initial Placement, the Registered Exchange Offer or any offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, in any such jurisdiction where
it is not then so subject. 
 (j) The Issuers shall cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely

request. 
 (k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by subsections (c)(ii) through (v) above,
the Issuers shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the
Securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include 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. In such circumstances, the period of effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 2 hereof and the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 3(b) hereof shall each be extended by
the number of days from and including the date of the giving of a notice of suspension pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any known Exchanging Dealer shall have received such
amended or supplemented Prospectus pursuant to this Section 4. 
 (l) Not later than the effective date of
any Registration Statement, the Issuers shall provide CUSIP and ISIN numbers for the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, registered under such Registration Statement and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for such

Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in a timely manner. 
 (o) The Notes Issuers may require
each Holder of securities to be sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Notes Issuers such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such securities as the Notes Issuers may from time to time reasonably
require for inclusion in such Registration Statement. The Notes Issuers may exclude from such Shelf Registration Statement the Securities or Exchange Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after
receiving such request. 
 (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuers shall enter into such
and take all other appropriate actions (including if requested an underwriting agreement in customary form) in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Securities or Exchange Securities, and in connection therewith,
if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 6 (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to the Majority Holders
and the Managing Underwriters, if any, with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6. 

  
 -10-

other agent for the Holders retained by the Majority Holders or for the underwriters, if any, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of each Issuer and its subsidiaries; 

(ii) cause the officers, directors and employees of each Issuer to supply all relevant information reasonably requested
by the representative for the Holders, by the underwriters, if any, or by any such attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Shelf Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; provided,
however, that any information that is designated in writing by any Issuer, in good faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by the Holders, the underwriters, if any, and any such attorney,
accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of
confidentiality;

the Purchase Agreement; 
 (iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Issuers (which counsel and opinions (in form,
scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any, addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten
offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters; 
 (v) obtain
“cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Issuers (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any Issuer or any subsidiary of any Issuer or of any business acquired by any

(ii) cause the officers, directors and employees of each Issuer to supply all relevant information reasonably requested
by any Initial Purchaser or any attorney, accountant or agent retained by the Initial Purchasers in connection with any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; provided, however, that any
information that is designated in writing by any Issuer, in good faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Initial Purchaser or any such attorney, accountant or agent, unless such
disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; 

(iii) make such representations and warranties to the Initial Purchasers, in form, substance and scope as are customarily
made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings and covering matters including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement; 

(iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Issuers (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and their counsel, addressed to the Initial Purchasers, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably
requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel; 
 (v) obtain “cold comfort” letters from the
independent certified public accountants of the Issuers (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any Issuer or any subsidiary of any Issuer or of any business acquired by any Issuer for which financial statements and
financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement), addressed to the Initial Purchasers, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in
connection with primary underwritten offerings, or if requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel in lieu of a “cold comfort” letter, an agreed-upon procedures letter under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 35, covering
matters requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel; and 
 (vi) deliver such documents and
certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel, including those to evidence compliance with Section 4(k) and with conditions customarily contained in underwriting agreements. 

The foregoing actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi) of this Section 4(r) shall be performed at
the close of the Registered Exchange Offer and the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
 (s) If a Registered Exchange Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Securities by Holders to the Notes Issuers (or to such other Person as directed by the Notes Issuers) in exchange for the
Exchange Securities, the Notes Issuers shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Securities so exchanged that such Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities. In no event shall the Securities be marked as paid or
otherwise satisfied. 

  
 -12-

 (t) The Issuers will use their reasonable best efforts (i) if the
Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Securities, to confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, covered by a Exchange Offer Registration Statement; or (ii) if the
Securities were not previously rated, to cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with at least one nationally recognized statistical rating agency, if so requested by Majority Holders with respect to the related
Registration Statement or by any Managing Underwriters. 
 (u) In the event that any Broker-Dealer shall
underwrite any Securities or Exchange Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (the
“Conduct Rules”)) thereof, whether as a Holder or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Issuers shall assist such Broker-Dealer in complying with the requirements
of such Conduct Rules, including, without limitation, by: 
 (i) if such Conduct Rules shall so require,
engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in such Conduct Rules) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement, to exercise usual standards of due diligence with respect thereto and, if any portion of the
offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities or Exchange Securities; 

(ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters
provided in Section 6 hereof; and 
 (iii) providing such information to such Broker-Dealer as may be
required in order for such Broker-Dealer to comply with the requirements of such Conduct Rules. 
 (v) The
Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, covered by a Registration Statement. 

5. Registration Expenses. The Issuers shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their obligations
under Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof and, in the event of any Shelf Registration Statement, will reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel designated by the Majority Holders to act as counsel for the
Holders in connection therewith, and, in the case of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel acting in connection therewith. 

6. Indemnification and Contribution. 
 (a) The Issuers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, covered by any Registration Statement (including each
Initial Purchaser and each Affiliate thereof and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer), the directors, officers, employees and agents of each such Holder and each person who
controls any such Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other
Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or 

  
 -13-

 
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Issuers will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Notes Issuers by or on behalf of any such Holder
specifically for inclusion therein; provided, further, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in any preliminary Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6 shall not inure to the benefit
of any Holder from whom the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased such Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder occurs under the
circumstance where it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment that (w) the Notes Issuers had previously furnished copies of the Prospectus to such Holder, (x) delivery of the
Prospectus was required by the Act to be made to such Person, (y) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus and (z) there was not sent or given to such
Person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such Person, a copy of the Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Issuers may otherwise have. 

The Issuers also, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify or contribute as provided in Section 6(d) to Losses of each underwriter
of Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, registered under a Shelf Registration Statement, their directors, officers, employees or agents and each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in this Section 6(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 4(p) hereof.

 (b) Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser and each Affiliate
thereof and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer) severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, each of their respective directors, each of their
respective officers who signs such Registration Statement, and each person who controls any Issuer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers to each such Holder, but only
with reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure
results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation
provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which
indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for 

  
 -14-

 
the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local
counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 6 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are
actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such
indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser
or any subsequent Holder of any Security or Exchange Security be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to such Security, or in the case of an Exchange Security, applicable to the
Security that was exchangeable into such Exchange Security, as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the
securities purchased by such underwriter under the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuers shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of (x) the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement
(before deducting expenses or original issue discount) as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum and (y) the total amount of additional interest which the Issuers were not required to pay as a result of registering the securities
covered by the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum, and
benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, registered under the Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall 

  
 -15-

 
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by
the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The
parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such
Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls any Issuer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of any Issuer who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each
director of any Issuer shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 6 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Issuers or any of the officers, directors or
controlling Persons referred to in this Section 6 hereof, and will survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement. 
 7. Underwritten Registrations. 
 (a) If any of the Securities or Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Majority Holders. 

(b) No Person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, unless such Person
(i) agrees to sell such Person’s Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and
(ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

8. Registration Defaults. The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Issuers fail
to fulfill their obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Issuers agree to pay, jointly and severally, as liquidated damages,
additional interest on the Notes (“Additional Interest”) under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be given independent effect): 

(a) the Registered Exchange Offer is not completed on or prior to the 360th day after the Issue Date, then commencing on
the day after such date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following each date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional
0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period; or 
 (b) the Issuers are required by
Section 3(a) hereof to file a Shelf Registration Statement and (i) such Shelf Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission by the date required by Section 3(b) hereof or (ii) such Shelf Registration Statement is not
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 60th day following the date such Shelf Registration Statement was filed, 

  
 -16-

 
then, commencing on the day after either such required date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days
immediately following such date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period; or 

(c) if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration Statement
ceases to be effective at any time prior to the one year anniversary of its effective date prior to all Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold, then Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the
Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days commencing on the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of
each subsequent 90-day period; 
 (each such event referred to in (a), (b) and (c), a “Registration Default”),
provided, however, that the Additional Interest rate on the Securities shall not accrue under more than one Registration Default at any one time and at no time shall the aggregate amount of Additional Interest accruing exceed in the
aggregate 1.0% per annum; provided, further, however, that (1) upon the completion of the Registered Exchange Offer (in the case of clause (a) above), (2) upon the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the
case of clause (b)(i) above) or upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of clause (b)(ii) above), or (3) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective (in
the case of clause (c)above), Additional Interest on the Securities as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. Any amounts of Additional Interest due as a result of a Registration
Default shall be payable in cash on the same original interest payment dates as the Securities. 
 9. No Inconsistent
Agreements. No Issuer has, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall it, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof. 
 10. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Issuers have obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders;
provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Issuers shall obtain the written consent of each Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification,
supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective provided, further, that no amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to Section 8 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Securities unless consented to in
writing by such Holder; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Article 10 may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Issuers have
obtained the written consent of the Initial Purchasers and each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to
the rights of Holders whose Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by the Majority Holders,
determined on the basis of Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, being sold rather than registered under such Registration Statement.

 11. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

 (b) if to you, initially at the respective addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and 
 (c) if to the Issuers, initially at their address set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 
 All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received. 
 The Initial Purchasers or the Issuers by notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 

12. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the
parties hereto, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Issuers thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities and the Exchange Securities. The Issuers hereby agree to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any
Holder of Securities or the Exchange Securities, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto. 
 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be in signed counterparts, each of which shall an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

14. Headings. The headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. 
 16. Severability. In the event that any
one of more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other
respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

17. Securities Held by the Issuers, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal
amount of Securities or Exchange Securities is required hereunder, Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, held by any Issuer or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities or Exchange Securities if such subsequent Holders
are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities or Exchange Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

 ANNEX A 
 Each Broker-Dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange
Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act. This Prospectus, as it may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired by such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. The Issuers have agreed that, starting on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) and ending on the close of business one year after the Expiration Date, they will make this Prospectus available to any
Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX B 
 Each Broker-Dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities, where such Securities were acquired by such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX C 
 Plan of Distribution 
 Each Broker-Dealer that receives Exchange
Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may
be used by a Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Issuers have agreed that,
starting on the Expiration Date and ending on the close of business one year after the Expiration Date, they will make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In
addition, until             , 201    , all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus. 

The Issuers will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities by Brokers-Dealers. Exchange Securities received by
Broker-Dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a
combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers
who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such Broker-Dealer and/or the purchasers of any such Exchange Securities. Any Broker-Dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and any profit of any such resale of Exchange
Securities and any commissions or concessions received by any such Persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act. 
 For a period
of one year after the Expiration Date, the Issuers will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any Broker-Dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Issuers
have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holder of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Securities
(including any Broker-Dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act. 
 If applicable, add
information required by Regulation S-K Items 507 and/or 508.
