Statement”) with the Commission on an appropriate registration form with respect to a registered offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange any and all of the Registrable Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of notes
(the “Exchange Notes”) that are identical in all material respects to the Notes (except that the 

  

 -4- 

 
Exchange Notes shall not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or Additional Interest upon a Registration Default) and (ii) use their
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 210 days after the Issue Date. To the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable
interpretation of the Commission, upon the Exchange Offer Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission, the Co-Issuers will: (i) commence the Exchange Offer as soon as practicable after the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is declared effective, (ii) keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 business days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to Holders, and (iii) use all
commercially reasonable efforts to issue within 30 business days, or longer, if required by the federal securities laws, after the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective Exchange Notes in exchange for Notes
tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer and to otherwise consummate the Exchange Offer 
 Each Holder that participates in the Exchange
Offer will be required to represent to the Co-Issuers in writing that (i) any Exchange Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to
participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act or, if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iii) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of Exchange Notes, (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that
will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, it will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Notes, (v) such Holder has full power and authority to transfer the Notes in exchange for the Exchange Notes and that the Co-Issuers will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto free and clear of any liens, restrictions,
charges or encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims; and (vi) such Holder is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the Co-Issuers. 
 (b) The Co-Issuers and the Initial Purchaser acknowledge that the staff of the Commission has taken the position that any broker-dealer that elects to
exchange Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment resulting
from the original offering of the Regulation S Notes). 
 The Co-Issuers and the Initial Purchasers also acknowledge that the staff of the
Commission has taken the position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell
the Exchange Notes, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Notes owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligations under the
Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Notes for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act. 
  

 -5- 

 In light of the foregoing, if requested by a Participating Broker-Dealer (a “Requesting
Participating Broker-Dealer”), the Co-Issuers agree to use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective for a period not to exceed 120 days after the date on which the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is declared effective, or such longer period if extended pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5 hereof (such period, the “Applicable Period”), or such earlier date as all Requesting Participating
Broker-Dealers shall have notified the Co-Issuers in writing that such Requesting Participating Broker-Dealers have resold all Exchange Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer. The Co-Issuers shall include a plan of distribution in such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement that meets the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph. 
 If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer,
the Initial Purchaser or any Holder, as the case may be, holds any Notes acquired by it that have, or that are reasonably likely to be determined to have, the status of an unsold allotment in an initial distribution, or any Holder is not entitled to
participate in the Exchange Offer, the Co-Issuers upon the request of the Initial Purchaser or any such Holder, as the case may be, shall simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to the Initial
Purchasers or any such Holder, as the case may be, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for such Notes held by the Initial Purchaser or any such Holder, as the case may be, a like principal amount of notes (the “Private
Exchange Notes”) of the Co-Issuers that are identical in all material respects to the Exchange Notes except that the Private Exchange Notes may be subject to restrictions on transfer and bear a legend to such effect. The Private Exchange
Notes shall be issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange Notes and bear the same CUSIP number as the corresponding Exchange Notes. 
 For each Note surrendered in the Exchange Offer, the Holder will receive an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Note. Interest on each Exchange Note and Private Exchange Note issued pursuant to the
Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Notes surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes, from the Issue Date. 
 Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Section 2, the Co-Issuers shall have no further registration obligations other than
the Co-Issuers’ continuing registration obligations with respect to (i) Private Exchange Notes, (ii) Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers and (iii) Notes or Exchange Notes as to which clause (c)(iii) of this
Section 2 applies. 
 In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Co-Issuers shall: 
 (1) mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents; 
  

 -6- 

 (2) utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with an address in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; 
 (3) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time prior to the close of
business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
 (4) otherwise comply
in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. 
 As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer and
the Private Exchange, if any, the Co-Issuers shall: 
 (1) accept for exchange all Notes validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn by the Holders pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange, if any; 
 (2) deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes so accepted for exchange; and 
 (3) cause the Trustee to authenticate and
deliver promptly to each such Holder of Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Registrable Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange. 
 The Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that (i) the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as
the case may be, does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the Commission, (ii) no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency which might
materially impair the ability of the Co-Issuers to proceed with the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, and no material adverse development shall have occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to the Co-Issuers and
(iii) all governmental approvals shall have been obtained, which approvals the Co-Issuers deem necessary for the consummation of the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange. 
 The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes shall be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all material
respects to the Indenture (in either case, with such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the Commission to effect or maintain the qualification thereof under the TIA) and which, in either case, has been qualified under the
TIA and shall provide that (a) the Exchange Notes shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and (b) the Private Exchange Notes shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The
Indenture or such indenture shall provide that the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes or the Notes will
have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. 
 (c) In the event that: 
 (i) the Co-Issuers are not: 
 (A) required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; 
  

 -7- 

 (B) permitted to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not
permitted by applicable law or the applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission; 
 (ii) for any reason the
Exchange Offer is not consummated within 240 days of the Issue Date; 
 (iii) a Holder notifies the Company prior to the 20th Business Day following consummation of the Exchange Offer that: 
 (A) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer; 
 (B) it may not resell the exchange notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the
prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales; or 
 (C)
it is a broker-dealer and owns notes acquired directly from the Issuers or an affiliate of the Issuers; or 
 (iv) the Initial
Purchaser so requests with respect to Regulation S Notes or corresponding Private Exchange Notes that have, or that are reasonably likely to be determined to have, the status of unsold allotments in an initial distribution and such Holder so
notifies the Company. 
 (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of this sentence, a “Shelf Filing Event”), then
the Co-Issuers shall file a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 
 Section 3. Shelf Registration. 

If at any time a Shelf Filing Event shall occur, then: 
 (a) The Co-Issuers shall file promptly with the Commission a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes not exchanged in the
Exchange Offer, Private Exchange Notes and Exchange Notes as to which Section 2(c) is applicable (the “Shelf Registration”). The Co-Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission the Shelf
Registration as promptly as practicable but in any event within 30 days of notice of the Shelf Filing Event (the “Shelf Filing Date”). The Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration
of such Registrable Notes for resale by Holders in the manner or manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings). The Co-Issuers shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Notes to be
included in the Shelf Registration. 
 (b) The Co-Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts: 
 (i) to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act on or prior to the 90th day after the Shelf Filing Event; and 
  

 -8- 

 (ii) to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective until the earliest of
(A) the time when the Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any information under clause (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144, (B) two years from the Issue Date and (c) the
date on which all Notes registered thereunder are disposed of in accordance therewith subject to extension pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 5 hereof (the “Effectiveness Period”); provided, however,
that (x) the Effectiveness Period in respect of the Shelf Registration shall be extended to the extent required to permit dealers to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the Securities Act and as
otherwise provided herein and (y) the Co-Issuers may suspend the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by written notice to the Holders solely as a result of the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration
Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Co-Issuers where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related Prospectus, provided that
the Effectiveness Period in respect of the Shelf Registration shall be extended by such number of days for which effectiveness is suspended under this clause (y). 
 (c) Supplements and Amendments. The Co-Issuers agree to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as and when required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration, or if reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes. 
 Section 4. Additional
Interest. 
 (a) The Co-Issuers and the Initial Purchaser agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Co-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 Co-Issuers agree that if: 
 (i) the Co-Issuers fail to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the
Commission on or prior to the 90th day after the Issue Date, 
 (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective on or
prior to the 210th day following the Issue Date or, if that day is not a Business Day, the next day that is a Business Day or is declared effective
but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with the Exchange Offer; 
 (iii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to the 30th day following the date on which the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement is declared effective; 
  

 -9- 

 (iv) a Shelf Registration
Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(c) is not filed on or prior to the 30th day following the Shelf Filing Event, or, if that
day is not a Business Day, the next day that is a Business Day; 
 (v)
a Shelf Registration Statement that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(c) is not declared effective by the 90th day after the Shelf
Filing Event (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next day that is a Business Day), or is declared effective by such date but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable, except if the Shelf Registration ceases to be effective or usable as
specifically permitted by the penultimate paragraph of Section 5 hereof; or 
 (vi) the Shelf Registration Statement does
not remain continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period 
 (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) a “Registration
Default”), Additional Interest in the form of additional cash interest (“Additional Interest”) will accrue on the affected Notes and the affected Exchange Notes, as applicable. The amount of Additional Interest will be
equal to $0.05 per week for $1,000 principal amount of Registrable Notes for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default, increasing by $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Registrable Notes with
respect to each subsequent 90-day period up to a maximum amount of additional interest for all Registration Defaults of $0.50 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Registrable Notes, from and including the date on which any such Registration
Default shall occur to, but excluding, the earlier of (1) the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured or (2) the date on which all the Notes and Exchange Notes otherwise become freely transferable by Holders other than
affiliates of the Co-Issuers without further registration under the Securities Act. 
 The Company will pay such Additional Interest on
regular Interest Payment Dates (as defined in the Indenture) in the same manner as other interest is paid on the Notes. Such Additional Interest will be in addition to any other payable from time to time with respect to the Notes. All Additional
Interest will be paid by the Co-Issuers on the next scheduled interest payment date to DTC or its nominee by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by federal funds check and to holders of certificated Notes by wire transfer to the accounts
specified by them or by mailing checks to their registered addresses if no such accounts have been specified. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (1) the amount of Additional Interest payable shall not increase more than by the foregoing amounts because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is pending and (2) a Holder of Notes or Exchange Notes who is not
entitled to the benefits of the Shelf Registration Statement (i.e., such Holder has not elected to include information) shall not be entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default that pertains to the Shelf
Registration Statement. 
 (b) So long as Notes remain outstanding, the Co-Issuers shall notify the Trustee within five Business Days after
each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid. Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash
semi-annually 

  

 -10- 

 
on each Interest Payment Date (each a “Damages Payment Date”), commencing with the first such date occurring after any such Additional
Interest commence to accrue, to Holders to whom regular interest is payable on such Damages Payment Date with respect to Notes that are Registrable Securities. The amount of Additional Interest for Registrable Notes will be determined by multiplying
the applicable rate of Additional Interest by the aggregate principal amount of all such Registrable Notes outstanding on the Damages Payment Date following such Registration Default in the case of the first such payment of Additional Interest with
respect to a Registration Default (and thereafter at the next succeeding Damages Payment Date until the cure of such Registration Default), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was
applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360. 
 Section 5. Registration Procedures. 
 In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, the Co-Issuers shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of the securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method
or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Co-Issuers hereunder, the Co-Issuers shall: 
 (a) Prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement or Registration Statements prescribed by Section 2 or 3 hereof, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement
to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that if (1) such filing is pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, before filing any Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel
(if such counsel is known to the Co-Issuers) and the managing underwriters, if any, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto)
proposed to be filed (in each case at least five Business Days prior to such filing or such later date as is reasonable under the circumstances). The Co-Issuers shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto if the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any,
shall reasonably object on a timely basis. 
 (b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to each
Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be,
subject to any Delay Periods; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar 

  

 -11- 

 
provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to it
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being sold by a Participating
Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus, in each case, in accordance with the intended methods of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as so amended. 
 (c) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto from whom the Co-Issuers have
received written notice that such Broker-Dealer will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the applicable Exchange Offer, notify the selling Holders of Registrable Notes, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel and
the managing underwriters, if any, as promptly as possible, and, if requested by any such Person, confirm such notice in writing, (i) 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 under the Securities Act (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, at the sole expense of the Co-Issuers,
one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the Commission
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a
Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Registrable Notes or resales of Exchange Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers the representations and warranties of the Co-Issuers contained in any
agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 5(m)(i) hereof cease to be true and correct in all material respects, (iv) of the receipt by the Co-Issuers of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of
the happening of any event, the existence of any condition or any information becoming known to the Co-Issuers that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in or amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement,
it will 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 that in the case of the Prospectus, it will 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the
Co-Issuers’ determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is 

  

 -12- 

 
required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, use their
reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification)
of any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest practicable
moment. 
 (e) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period and if reasonably requested by
the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or any Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, (i) promptly
incorporate in such Registration Statement or Prospectus a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), such Holders or any Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be
(based upon advice of counsel), determines is reasonably necessary to be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Co-Issuers have
received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that the Co-Issuers shall not be required to take any action hereunder that would, in the written
opinion of counsel to the Co-Issuers, violate applicable laws. 
 (f) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3
hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes

incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits. 
 (g) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or
(2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the
Applicable Period, deliver to each selling Holder of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their respective counsel, and the underwriters, if any, at the sole expense of the Co-Issuers, as many copies of the
Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of preliminary prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein as such Persons may reasonably request; and, subject to the last paragraph of
this Section 5, the Co-Issuers hereby consent to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the
underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers (if any), in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto. 
  

 -13- 

 (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes or any delivery of a Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, use their reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling
Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such
registration or qualification) of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Participating
Broker-Dealer, or the managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request; provided, however, that where Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes are offered other than through an underwritten offering, the Co-Issuers agree to use their
reasonable best efforts to cause the Co-Issuers’ counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and file registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 5(h); keep each such registration or qualification (or
exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Exchange
Notes or Registrable Notes covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Co-Issuers shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where they are not then so
qualified, (B) take any action that would subject them to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where they are not then so subject or (C) subject themselves to taxation in excess of a nominal dollar amount in any such
jurisdiction where they are not then so subject. 
 (i) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, cooperate with
the selling Holders of Registrable Notes and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any
restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and enable such Registrable Notes to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or
selling Holders may request at least five Business Days prior to any sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes. 
 (j) Use their
reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be reasonably necessary to enable the seller
or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holder’s business, in
which case the Co-Issuers will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals. 
 (k) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to
be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks 

  

 -14- 

 
to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5(c)(v) or 5(c)(vi) hereof, as promptly as
practicable prepare and (subject to Section 5(a) and the penultimate paragraph of this Section 5) file with the Commission, at the sole expense of the Co-Issuers, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a
supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes being sold
thereunder or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, any such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (l) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Notes, (i) provide the Trustee with certificates for the Registrable Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company
and (ii) provide CUSIP numbers for the Registrable Notes. 
 (m) In connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Notes
pursuant to a Shelf Registration, enter into an underwriting agreement as is customary in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of such Registrable Notes and, in such connection, (i) make such representations and warranties to, and covenants with, the underwriters with respect to the
business of the Co-Issuers and their subsidiaries, as then conducted (including any acquired business, properties or entity, if applicable), and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference therein, in each case, as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, and confirm the same in writing if and when requested; (ii) use their reasonable best
efforts to obtain the written opinions of counsel to the Co-Issuers and written updates thereof in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters, addressed to the underwriters covering the matters
customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters; (iii) use their reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort”
letters and updates thereof in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters from the independent certified public accountants of the Co-Issuers (and, if necessary, any other independent certified
public accountants of any subsidiary of the Co-Issuers or of any business acquired by the Co-Issuers for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement),
addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings; and (iv) if an underwriting
agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 7 hereof (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters or agents) with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section; provided that the Co-Issuers 

  

 -15- 

 
shall not be required to provide indemnification to any underwriter selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof with respect to
information relating to such underwriter furnished in writing to the Co-Issuers by or on behalf of such underwriter expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement. The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or
as and to the extent required thereunder. 
 (n) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable
Period, make available for inspection by any selling Holder of such Registrable Notes being sold or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Notes, if any, and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such selling Holder or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during
reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and instruments of the Co-Issuers and their subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to
exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Co-Issuers and their subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such
Registration Statement and Prospectus. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that it will keep the Records confidential and that it will not disclose, or use in connection with any market transactions in violation of any applicable securities laws,
any Records that the Co-Issuers determine, in good faith, to be confidential and that any one of them notifies the Inspectors in writing are confidential unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement
or omission in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) disclosure of such information is necessary or
advisable in the opinion of counsel for an Inspector in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving such Inspector and arising out of, based upon, relating to, or involving this
Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or arising hereunder or thereunder, or (iv) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public; provided,
however, that (i) each Inspector shall agree to use reasonable best efforts to provide notice to the Co-Issuers of the potential disclosure of any information by such Inspector pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this
sentence to permit the Co-Issuers to obtain a protective order (or waive the provisions of this paragraph (n)) and (ii) each such Inspector shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information
(if practicable) to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of the Holder or any Inspector. 
 (o) Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture or the trust indenture
provided for in Section 2(a) hereof to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the Exchange Offer or the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Notes; and in connection therewith, cooperate with the
trustee under any such indenture and the Holders of the Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as applicable, to effect such changes to such indenture as may be required for such indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA;
and execute, and use 

  

 -16- 

 
their reasonable best efforts to cause such trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents
required to be filed with the Commission to enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner. 
 (p) Comply in all material
respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to the Co-Issuers’ security holders earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any
fiscal quarter in which Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first
fiscal quarter of the Co-Issuers after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods consistent with the requirements of Rule 158. 
 (q) If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Notes by Holders to the Co-Issuers (or to such
other Person as directed by the Co-Issuers) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, mark, or cause to be marked, on such Registrable Notes that such Registrable Notes are being cancelled in exchange for
the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be; provided that in no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
 (r) Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition
of such Registrable Notes and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”). 
 (s) Use their reasonable best efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary or advisable to effect the registration of the Exchange Notes and/or
Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 
 The Co-Issuers may require each Holder of Registrable Notes or
Exchange Notes as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Co-Issuers such information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes as the Co-Issuers may, from time to time, reasonably
request. The Co-Issuers may exclude from such registration the Registrable Notes of any Holder so long as such Holder fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request and in the event of such an exclusion, the
Co-Issuers shall have no further obligation under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the obligations under Section 4) with respect to such Holder or any subsequent Holder of such Registrable Notes. Each Holder as to which any Shelf
Registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Co-Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make any information previously furnished to the Co-Issuers by such Holder not materially misleading. 
 If any such Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Co-Issuers, then such Holder shall
have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to 

  

 -17- 

 
the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the
securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Co-Issuers, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not
required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the applicable Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such
reference ceases to be required. 
 Each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of such
Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes that, upon actual receipt of any notice from the Company (x) of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5(c)(ii), 5(c)(iii), 5(c)(iv), or 5(c)(v) hereof, or (y) that the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has resolved that a significant financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other material transaction of any Co-Issuer would be materially adversely affected, then the
Co-Issuers may delay the filing or the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement (if not then filed or effective, as applicable) and shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness thereof or
amend or supplement the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration, in all cases, for a period (a “Delay Period”) expiring upon (i) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (x), such
Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(k) hereof or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the
use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto or (ii) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (y), the date which is the earlier of (A) the date on which such
significant financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other material transaction ceases to interfere with the Co-Issuers’ obligations to file or maintain the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement or
(B) 60 days after the Company notifies the Holders of such good faith determination. There shall not be more than 60 days of Delay Periods during any 12-month period. Each of the Effectiveness Period and the Applicable Period, if applicable,
shall be extended by the number of days during any Delay Period. Any Delay Period will not alter the obligations of the Co-Issuers to pay Additional Interest under the circumstances set forth in Section 4 hereof. 
 In the event of any Delay Period pursuant to clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, notice shall be given as soon as practicable after the Board of
Directors makes such a determination of the need for a Delay Period and shall state, to the extent practicable, an estimate of the duration of such Delay Period and shall advise the recipient thereof of the agreement of such Holder provided in the
next succeeding sentence. Each Holder, by his acceptance of any Registrable Note, agrees that during any Delay Period, each Holder will discontinue disposition of such Notes or Exchange Notes covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus or
Exchange Notes to be sold by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be. 
 Section 6. Registration Expenses.

 All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Co-Issuers (other than any underwriting
discounts or commissions and transfer taxes) 

  

 -18- 

 
shall be borne by the Co-Issuers, whether or not the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective or the
Exchange Offer is consummated, including, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, (A) fees with respect to filings required to be made with the NASD in connection with an underwritten
offering and (B) fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Notes or Exchange
Notes and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions (x) where the holders of Registrable Notes are located, in the case of an Exchange Offer, or (y) as
provided in Section 5(h) hereof, in the case of a Shelf Registration or in the case of Exchange Notes to be sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period)), (ii) printing expenses, including, without limitation,
expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, or by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes included in any Registration Statement or in respect of Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable
Period, as the case may be, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Co-Issuers and reasonable fees and disbursements of one special counsel for all of the Holders of Registrable
Notes (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers) (exclusive of any counsel retained pursuant to Section 7 hereof), (v) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants referred to in
Section 5(m)(iii) hereof (including, without limitation, the expenses of any special audit and “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance), (vi) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Co-Issuers desire
such insurance, (vii) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Co-Issuers, (viii) internal expenses of the Co-Issuers (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees of the Co-Issuers
performing legal or accounting duties), (ix) the expense of any annual audit, (x) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange, and the obtaining of a rating of
the securities, in each case, if applicable, and (xi) the expenses relating to printing, word processing and distributing all Registration Statements, underwriting agreements, indentures and any other documents necessary in order to comply with
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions of any underwriters with respect to any Registrable Notes sold by or on behalf of it. 
 Section 7. Indemnification. 
 (a)
The Co-Issuers agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, each Person, if any, who controls any
such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, the agents, employees, officers and directors of each Holder and each such Participating Broker-Dealer and the agents, employees,
officers and directors of any such controlling Person (each, a “Participant”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all reasonable amounts paid in 

  

 -19- 

 
settlement of any claim or litigation (in the manner set forth in clause (c) below)) (collectively, “Losses”) to which they or any of
them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by, arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Co-Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by, arising out of or
based upon 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, provided that (i) the foregoing indemnity shall not be available to any Participant insofar as such Losses are caused, arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Participant furnished to the Co-Issuers in writing by or on behalf of such Participant expressly for use therein, and (ii) that the foregoing indemnity with respect to
any Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Participant from whom the Person asserting such Losses purchased Registrable Notes if (x) it is established in the related proceeding that such Participant failed to send or give a copy of
the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if such amendment or supplement was furnished to such Participant prior to the written confirmation of such sale) to such Person with or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, if required by
applicable law, and (y) the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was completely corrected in the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if amended or supplemented as aforesaid) and such Prospectus does not
contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that was the subject matter of the related proceeding. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Co-Issuers may otherwise have,
including, but not limited to, liability under this Agreement. 
 (b) Each Participant agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent set forth in subsection 7(a)) the Co-Issuers, each Person, if any, who controls the Co-Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange
Act, and each of their agents, employees, officers and directors and the agents, employees, officers and directors of any such controlling Person from and against any Losses to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise insofar as such Losses (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 any Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto) or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Co-Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by, arising out of or based upon 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Participant furnished in writing
to the Co-Issuers by or on behalf of such Participant expressly for use therein. 
  

 -20- 

 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection 7(a) or 7(b) above of notice of the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding (collectively, an “action”), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against
whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement of such action (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to
the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, the indemnifying party will
be entitled to participate in such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense of such action with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such action, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties
shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) the named parties to such action (including any impleaded parties) include such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party or parties (or such indemnifying parties have assumed the defense of such action), and such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded, that counsel selected by the indemnifying party
has a conflict of interest in representing both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in
any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (together with appropriate local
counsel) at any time for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising in the same jurisdiction out of the same general allegations or circumstances. Any such separate firm
for the Participants shall be designated in writing by Participants who sold a majority in interest of Registrable Notes sold by all such Participants and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers and any such separate firm for the
Co-Issuers, their affiliates, officers, directors, representatives, employees and agents and such control Person of the Co-Issuers shall be designated in writing by the Co-Issuers and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holders. An indemnifying
party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 
 (d) In order to provide for
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is for any reason held to be unavailable from the indemnifying party, or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified under this Section 7,
each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such aggregate Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative 

  

 -21- 

 
benefits received by each indemnifying party, on the one hand, and each indemnified party, on the other hand, from the sale of the Notes to the Purchaser or
the Initial Purchasers, as the case may be, or the resale of the Registrable Notes by such Holder, as applicable, or (ii) if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of each indemnified party, on the one hand, and each indemnifying party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Co-Issuers, on the one hand, and each Participant, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total proceeds
from the sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchaser (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Co-Issuers are to (y) the total net profit received by such Participant in connection with the sale of the
Registrable Notes. The relative fault of the parties 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 Co-Issuers or such Participant and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omission. 
 (e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or
by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, (i) in no case shall any Participant be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the net profit received by such Participant in connection with the sale of the Registrable Notes exceeds the amount of any damages that such Participant has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or
parties under this Section 7, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation
it or they may have under this Section 7 or otherwise, except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any
action for which notice has been given under this Section 7 for purposes of indemnification. Anything in this section to the contrary notwithstanding, no party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without
its written consent, provided, however, that such written consent was not unreasonably withheld. 
 Section 8. Rules
144 and 144A. 
 For so long as any Registrable Notes remain outstanding, the Co-Issuers covenant that they will file the reports
required, if any, to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act

Notes without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144(k) and Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or
regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. 
 Section 9. Underwritten Registrations. 
 If any of the Registrable Notes covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers
and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Notes included in such offering and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers. 

No Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder if such Holder does not (a) agree to sell such
Holder’s Registrable Notes on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 Section 10.
Miscellaneous.

or Participating Broker-Dealer of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, disposed of pursuant to any Registration Statement) affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Notes whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or
indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Notes may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 11% SENIOR SECURED NOTE DUE 2015 
 Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1) INTEREST. Forbes Energy Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Forbes Energy Capital Inc., a
Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate of 11% per annum, from February 12, 2008 until maturity. The Issuers will pay interest
semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record
date referred to on the face hereof (each, a “Record Date”) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be August 15, 2008. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest (without regard to any applicable grace
period), from time to time on demand at a rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed
to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) will mail or cause to be mailed to
Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. The Issuers will pay Additional Interest, if any, to Holders of Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Defaulted
interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid on regular Interest Payment Dates in the same manner as other interest is paid on the Notes. All reference to “interest” in this Note and the Indenture mean the initial interest rate
borne by the Notes and any increases in that rate due to defaulted interest or Additional Interest (unless the Indenture states otherwise). Defaulted interest and Additional Interest will be in addition to any other interest payable from time to
time with respect to the Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 (2)
METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are Holders at the close of business on February 1 or August 1
next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will
be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set
forth in the register of Holders; provided that (1) payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders
of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent and (2) such payment by check may only be paid so long as no event of default under the Indenture is continuing. Such payment will be in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The principal of the Notes shall be payable only upon surrender of any Note at the specified offices of the Paying Agent. If
the due date for payment of the principal in respect of any Note is not a Business Day at the place in which it is presented for payment, the Holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day at
such place. 

 (3) PAYING AGENT AND
REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any
Holder. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity; provided no Event of Default is continuing. 
 (4)
INDENTURE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENT. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
as of February 12, 2008 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939, as amended, which applies to the Indenture and is incorporated by reference therein. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any
provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.
Holders are entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Collateral Agreements. 
 (5)
RANKING. This Note shall constitute a senior obligation of the Issuers and the Obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture and this Note shall be secured pursuant to the Collateral Documents and will be
subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any. 
 (6) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AND
PURCHASE. The Notes are subject to redemption and purchase as provided in Article III of the Indenture. 
 (7) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 (8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER. 
 (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Issuers will be required to make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder to repurchase all or
any part (equal to minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
if any, thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 10 days following any
Change of Control or, at the Issuers’ option, prior to such Change of Control but after public announcement thereof, the Issuers will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by
the Indenture. 
 (b) If the Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuers consummates an Asset Sale, the Issuers in
circumstances specified in the Indenture may be required to commence an offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture
with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that
may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, in accordance with
the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuers prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing
the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes. 

 (c) If any New Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries or the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries has Excess Cash Flow for any fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of that Holder’s Notes (in minimum amounts
of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the
rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the date of repurchase), with 50% of Excess Cash Flow of such New Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries or
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, on a consolidated basis for such fiscal year (less the amount of any open market purchases and any redemptions of Notes pursuant to the Indenture made during such fiscal year). 

(9) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection
with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

 (10) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or
portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
 (11) PERSONS
DEEMED OWNERS. The Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only Holders have rights under the Indenture and this Note. 
 (12) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or
Event or Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, voting as a single class.
Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency and to effect certain other changes as set forth in the Indenture. 

(13) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain
events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any,) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the 

 
Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the
Issuers are required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 (14) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE ISSUERS. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept
deposits from, and perform services for the Issuers or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 
 (15) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or equity holder of any New Parent, the Company, Capital
or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of any New Parent, the Company, Capital or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 (16) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an
authenticating agent. 
 (17) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder
or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 (18) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
