 February 4, 2009 
 JEFFERIES & COMPANY, INC. 
 520 Madison Avenue 
 New York, New York 10022 
 Ladies
and Gentlemen: 
 Landry’s Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the Guarantors (as hereinafter
defined) hereby agree with you as follows: 
 1. Issuance of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the
Company proposes to issue and sell to Jefferies & Company, Inc. (the “Initial Purchaser”) $295,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 14% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be
issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), to be dated as of February 13, 2009, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized
terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Circular (as hereinafter defined). 
 The Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”). Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Notes shall bear the legends set forth in the
“Notice to Investors” section of the Final Offering Circular (defined below). The “Final Offering Circular” shall mean the final offering circular, dated the date hereof, including the information incorporated by
reference therein. The Company has prepared a preliminary offering circular, dated January 15, 2009, including the information incorporated by reference therein (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”) and a pricing term sheet
attached hereto as Schedule I (the “Pricing Supplement”), which includes pricing terms and other information relating to the purchase and sale of the Notes by the Initial Purchaser (the “Offering”). The term
“Offering Circular” means, as of any date or time referred to in this Agreement, the most recent offering circular (whether the Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, and any amendment or supplement to either
such document), including exhibits and schedules thereto, including all information incorporated by reference therein. The Preliminary Offering Circular and the Pricing Supplement are together referred to herein as the “Pricing Disclosure
Package.” 
 On the Closing Date and concurrently with the consummation of this Offering, the Company will enter into an amended and
restated senior secured credit facility among the Company, the Guarantors, Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as administrative agent, co-lead arranger and co-syndication agent, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as co-lead arranger and co-syndication agent, which
will provide for a $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and a $165.6 million senior secured term loan facility (as amended, supplemented, modified, extended or restated from time to time, the “Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement”). 

 The proceeds of the Notes, together with the borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
will be used to (a) repurchase not less than $392.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 9.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “9.5% Notes”), (b) repurchase not less than $3.5 million in
aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 7.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “7.5% Notes”) and (c) pay related fees and expenses. 
 2. Terms of Offering. The Initial Purchaser has advised the Company, and the Company understands, that the Initial Purchaser will make offers to sell (the “Exempt Resales”) some or all
of the Notes purchased by the Initial Purchaser hereunder on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular, as amended or supplemented, solely to persons (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) whom the
Initial Purchaser reasonably believes to be (a) “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIBs”), as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (b) a limited number of
institutional “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act (“Accredited Investors”), as such Rule may be amended from time to time, that make certain
representations or warranties to the Initial Purchaser as set forth in the Accredited Investor Letter attached as Annex A to the Offering Circular, or (c) non-U.S. persons permitted to purchase the Notes in offshore transactions in reliance
upon Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S Persons”), as such Rule may be amended from time to time. 
 Pursuant to the Indenture, each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) of the Company shall fully and unconditionally guarantee to each holder of the Notes and the Trustee, on a senior secured basis, the payment and
performance of the Company’s Obligations under the Indenture and the Notes (each such subsidiary being referred to herein as a “Guarantor” and each such guarantee being referred to herein as a “Guarantee”).

 Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, all of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations
under the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees will be secured by a Lien on substantially all the assets of the Company and the Guarantors; provided, however, that pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, such Lien will be
contractually subordinated to a Lien on the Collateral that secures all Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and certain other permitted indebtedness. 
 Holders of the Notes will have the registration rights set forth in the registration rights agreement applicable to the Notes (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”), to be executed on and dated as of the Closing Date, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser in conformity in all material respects with the description of such registration rights contained in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will agree, among other things, to file with the SEC (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act
relating to the 14% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 (the “Exchange Notes”), which shall be identical to the Notes (except that the Exchange Notes shall have been registered pursuant to such registration statement and will not be
subject to restrictions on transfer or contain additional interest provisions) to be offered in exchange for the Notes (such offer to exchange being referred to as the “Exchange Notes Offer”), and/or (ii) under certain
circumstances, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the resale by certain holders of the Notes. If required under the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company will issue Exchange Notes and cause the Guarantors to issue exchange guarantees to the Initial Purchaser (the “Private Exchange Notes” and “Private Exchange Guarantees,” respectively). If the
Company fails to satisfy its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, it will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Notes under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement. 

 This Agreement, the Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes,
the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes, the Guarantees and the Private Exchange Guarantees are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The Offering, the entry into the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement and the application of the proceeds therefrom as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular and the issuance and sale of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the
“Transactions”. 
 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery. On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements
and covenants contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchaser, and the Initial Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, the Notes at a purchase price of
84.649% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. Delivery to the Initial Purchaser of and payment for the Notes shall be made at a Closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on February 13, 2009 (the
“Closing Date”) at the New York offices of Proskauer Rose LLP. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Initial Purchaser one or
more certificates representing the Notes in global form, registered in such names and denominations as the Initial Purchaser may request against payment by the Initial Purchaser of the purchase price therefor (net of expenses of the Initial
Purchaser that are reimburseable by the Company) by immediately available Federal funds bank wire transfer to such bank account or accounts as the Company shall designate to the Initial Purchaser at least two business days prior to the Closing Date.
The certificates representing the Notes in definitive form shall be made available to the Initial Purchaser for inspection at the New York offices of Proskauer Rose LLP (or such other place as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser)
not later than 10:00 a.m. one business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Notes to be represented by one or more definitive global securities in book-entry form will be deposited on the Closing Date, by or on behalf of the Company, with The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its designated custodian, and registered in the name of Cede & Co. 
 4.
Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Initial Purchaser that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date: 
 (a) No Material Misstatement or Omission. The Pricing Disclosure Package, and any amendment or supplement thereto as of the date
thereof and at all times subsequent thereto up to the Closing Date and the Final Offering Circular and any amendment or supplement thereto as of the date thereof and at all times subsequent thereto up to the Closing Date, do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 4(a) do not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information (as defined in Section 11). No injunction or order has been issued and no proceeding is
pending or threatened, that either (i) asserts that any of the Transactions is subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) would prevent or suspend the issuance or sale of any of the Notes or the use of the
Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, in any jurisdiction. The Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Offering Circular, as of their respective dates, contained all the information specified in
Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act. 
 (b) Subsidiaries. Each corporation, partnership, limited liability company or
other entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly through any of its subsidiaries, owns more

Subsidiary that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary has an asterisk (“*”) next to its name on such schedule. 
 (c)

jurisdiction in which the nature of such businesses or the ownership or leasing of such properties requires such qualification, except, in each case, where such failure would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on (A) the properties, business, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (B) the ability of the Company or the
Guarantors to perform their obligations in all material respects under any of the Transaction Documents, (C) the enforceability of any Collateral Agreement or the attachment, perfection or priority of any of the Security Interests intended to

 (d) Landry’s Seafood House-Biloxi, Inc. The failure of Landry’s Seafood House-Biloxi Inc. to be in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of organization did not, and is not reasonably expected to, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(A) liabilities that are reflected in the Financial Statements (as hereinafter defined) or (B) liabilities incurred subsequent to the date thereof in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, or in connection with the
Transactions, that would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Subsidiaries are owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company, free and clear of all liens, security interests, mortgages, pledges, charges, equities, claims or restrictions on transferability or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, “Liens), except as set forth in the
Offering Circular and other than those imposed by the Securities Act and the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of certain domestic or foreign jurisdictions and Liens (i) securing indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, dated
as of December 22, 2008, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the lenders thereto and (ii) constituting Permitted Liens. Except as disclosed in the Offering Circular, there are no outstanding (A) options, warrants,

transfer, fraudulent conveyance and other laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before
which any proceeding therefore may be brought. 
 (h) The Notes. The Notes, when issued, will be in the form
contemplated by the Indenture. When executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, the Indenture will meet the requirements for qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). At

Adverse Effect. All Applicable Agreements material to the Company and its Subsidiaries are in full force and effect and are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. There exists no condition
that, with the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute (a) a violation of the Charter Documents or Applicable Laws, (b) a breach of or default under any Applicable Agreement, or (c) result in the imposition of any penalty or
the acceleration of any indebtedness, except with respect to (b) and (c) above, that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

requirements of the Exchange Act, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Incorporated Information does not and (as amended or supplemented, if amended or supplemented) will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (o) Summaries of Certain Information. The statements set forth in the Offering Circular under the captions “Description of
Notes,” “Description of Certain Indebtedness,” “Regulatory Environment” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they constitute summaries of the legal matters, documents or proceedings
referred to therein, fairly present, in all material respects, the information called for with respect to such legal matters, documents or proceedings.

other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except such as have been obtained and such as may be required under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws in connection with the purchase and resale of the Notes by the Initial
Purchaser. 
 (q) No Material Actions or Proceedings. Except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
Final Offering Circular, there is no action, claim, suit, demand, hearing, notice of violation or deficiency, or proceeding, domestic or foreign (collectively, “Proceedings”), pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of
the Subsidiaries, threatened, that either (i) seeks to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of, or otherwise challenge any of the Transaction Documents or any of the Transactions contemplated therein, or (ii) would, individually or
in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries are subject to any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority that would, individually or in
the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (r) All Necessary Permits. The Company and
the Subsidiaries possess all licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and has made all declarations and filings with, all Governmental Authorities presently required or necessary to own or lease, as
the case may be, and to operate their respective properties and to carry on their respective businesses as now or proposed to be conducted as set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular (“Permits”).
Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with respect to such Permits and no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or
results in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit. None of the Company or its Subsidiaries has received any notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such Permit, except where such
revocation or modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

 (s) Title to Properties. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and
marketable title to all real property owned by it, good and valid title to all personal property owned by it and good and valid title to all leasehold estates in real and personal property being leased by it and, as of the Closing Date, will be free
and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). All Applicable Agreements to which the Company or any of its respective Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound are valid and enforceable against each of the Company or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, and, to the Company’s knowledge, are valid and enforceable against the other party or parties thereto in accordance with its terms and are in full force and effect with only such exceptions as would not reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (t) Tax Law Compliance. All Tax
returns required to be filed by the Company and each of the Subsidiaries have been filed and all such returns are true, complete, and correct in all material respects. All material Taxes that are due and payable by the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries have been paid other than those (i) currently payable without penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles of the United States, consistently applied (“GAAP”). To the knowledge of the Company there are no actual or proposed material Tax assessments due and payable against the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries. The accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of any material Tax liability for any period not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments of Tax for any such period. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tax” and “Taxes” shall mean all federal, state, local and foreign taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest,
additions to tax, or penalties applicable thereto. 
 (u) Intellectual Property Rights. Each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries owns, or has a valid and enforceable license to use, all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information,
systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, logos, designs, domain names and trade names (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) used in the conduct of its business as is currently operated and, as of the Closing Date, such
Intellectual Property owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries will be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. No claims or notices of any potential claim have been asserted by any person challenging the use of any such Intellectual
Property by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or questioning the validity, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intellectual Property or any license or agreement related thereto, other than any claims that, if successful, would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company, nor to the Company’s knowledge, any other party to any licenses, sublicenses, and other agreements or arrangements to which the
Company is a party and pursuant to which any other Person is authorized to have access to, or use of, Intellectual Property owned by the Company, or to exercise any other right with regard thereto (“Intellectual Property Licenses”),
is in breach or default under such Intellectual Property License, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time would constitute a breach or default by the Company (or to the Company’s knowledge, any other party thereto) or
permit termination by the Company other than any claims that, if successful, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, the use of such Intellectual
Property by the Company or its Subsidiaries will not violate, misappropriate or 

 
infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any other person, and there are no pending or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, proceedings or
litigation or other adverse claims or communications by any person alleging any such violation, misappropriation or infringement. 
 (v) Accounting Systems. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) material transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization, (ii) material transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material
differences.

statements and related notes of the Company and its Subsidiaries contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular (the “Financial Statements”) present fairly the financial position, results of operations,
cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as of the respective dates and for the respective periods to which they apply and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied

liabilities, direct or contingent, that are material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company, or has entered into any transactions not in the ordinary course of business, (ii) there has not been any material decrease in the capital

Subsidiaries, and (iii) there has not been any material adverse change in the properties, business, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries in the aggregate. To the knowledge of the
Company after reasonable inquiry, there is no event that is reasonably likely to occur, which if it were to occur, would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
Final Offering Circular. 

 (y) Rating Agencies. No “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization” (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act) (i) has imposed (or has informed the Company that it is considering imposing) any condition (financial or otherwise) on the Company retaining
any rating assigned to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any securities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or (ii) has indicated to the Company that it is considering (A) the downgrading, suspension, or withdrawal of, or
any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change in, any rating so assigned, or (B) any change in the outlook for any rating of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any securities of the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries.

Company or any of the Subsidiaries under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been refused any
insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage

others within the Company, and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to perform the functions for which they were established; the Company’s independent auditors and board of managers have been advised of: (i) all
significant deficiencies, if any, in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and (ii) all fraud, if any, whether or not
material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls; all material weaknesses, if any, in internal controls have been identified to the Company’s independent auditors; since the date of
the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses; the principal executive officers (or their equivalents) and principal financial officers (or their equivalents) of the Company have made all certifications required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the statements contained in each such certification are complete and correct. 
 (rr) Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company, the Subsidiaries or any of
the officers and directors of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations in connection

and regulations adopted by the SEC and the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and as required by the Securities Act. 
 (vv) FCPA. Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or Subsidiary of the Company is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by
such persons of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of U.S.
interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign
official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and the Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted their businesses
in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or, with respect to Notes to be sold in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, by means of any directed selling efforts be made by
such Initial Purchaser or any of its representatives in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Notes.

correct in all respects, except to the extent that the failure of such representations and warranties (without giving effect to any “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar terms,

 8. Indemnification and Contribution. 
 (a) The Company and each of the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser and its directors, officers and
affiliates, and each person, if any, who controls, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, the Initial Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (collectively, “Losses”) of any kind to which the Purchaser Indemnified Persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, to the fullest
extent lawful, insofar as any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement
thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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, or (iii) any breach by the Company or any of the Guarantors of their respective representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, material breach of Applicable Law, and
subject to the provisions hereof, will reimburse, as incurred, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons in connection with investigating, defending against or
appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such Loss in respect thereof; provided, that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable under the indemnity provided in this Section 8(a) to any Purchaser
Indemnified Party for any Losses that are based on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance on, and in conformity with, the Initial Purchaser Information (as defined in
Section 11). The Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable under this Section 8 for any settlement of any claim or action effected without their prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 (b) The Initial Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and the Guarantors and their respective directors,
officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any Losses which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become
subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) have resulted solely from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Circular, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or from the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, 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 such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser
Information; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses incurred by the Company, each of the Guarantors or any such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with any such Loss or action in respect thereof. 
 (c) If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any person entitled
to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the party or parties from which such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each,
an “Indemnifying Party”); provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve any of the Indemnifying Parties from any obligation or liability except to the extent (but only to the extent) that
such Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced materially by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it may determine, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that
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 defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel in 

 
writing that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party, or (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 receipt by the Indemnifying
Party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or Parties and such Indemnified Party or Parties
shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or Parties at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to
assume the defense thereof and approval by such Indemnified Party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other
than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the
immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel in any applicable
jurisdiction) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Initial Purchaser in the case of paragraph (a) of this
Section 8 or the Company in the case of paragraph (b) of this Section 8, representing the Indemnified Party under such paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions)
or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. After such notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such
Indemnified Party waived in writing its rights under this Section 8, in which case the Indemnified Party may effect such a settlement without such consent; provided, that, in any case, any settlement shall be subject to paragraph
(d) of this Section 8. None of the Indemnifying Parties shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment in or enter into any
settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless such judgment or settlement includes, as an unconditional
term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all Losses that may arise from such Proceeding or the subject matter thereof
(whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto). 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this
Section 8), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the actions,
statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other
hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, to the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser, on the other
hand. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial 

 
Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal
or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 was available to
such party. 
 Each party hereto agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d)
were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 8, the Initial Purchaser shall not be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and other compensation received by such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement, less
the aggregate amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact. 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 the immediately preceding paragraph, each person, if
any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company and the Guarantors,
each officer of the Company and the Guarantors and each person, if any, who controls either of the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company and the Guarantors. 
 (e) The indemnification and contribution obligations contained in this
Section 8 are in addition to any liability that any of the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties, and do not limit in any way rights or remedies which may otherwise be available at law or in equity.

 9. Termination. The Initial Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date by written notice
to the Company if any of the following has occurred: 
 (a) since the date hereof, any Material Adverse Effect or development
involving or expected to result in a prospective Material Adverse Effect that could, in the Initial Purchaser’s sole judgment, be expected to (i) make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes on
the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular, or (ii) materially impair the investment quality of any of the Notes; 
 (b) the failure of the Company or the Guarantors to satisfy the conditions contained in Section 7(a) hereof on or prior to the
Closing Date; 
 (c) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or declaration of war by the United States or other national
or international calamity or crisis, including acts of terrorism, or material adverse change or disruption in economic conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States (it being understood that any such change or disruption shall be
relative to such conditions and markets as in effect on the date hereof), if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity, crisis, act or material adverse change in the economic conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States
could be reasonably expected to make it, in the Initial Purchaser’s sole 

 
judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to market or proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular or to enforce contracts for the sale of any of the Notes; 
 (d)
trading in the Company’s common stock shall have been suspended by the SEC or The New York Stock Exchange or the suspension or limitation of trading generally in securities on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or The
NASDAQ Global Market shall have occurred or any setting of limitations on prices for securities on any such exchange shall have occurred; 
 (e) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation after the date hereof of any Applicable Law that in the Initial Purchaser’s counsel’s reasonable opinion materially and adversely affects, or
could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect, the properties, business, prospects, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; 

(f) any securities of the Company shall have been downgraded or placed on any “watch list” for possible downgrading by any
“nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act; or 
 (g) the representation and warranty contained in the first sentence of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is incorrect in any way; or 
 (h) the declaration of a banking moratorium by any Governmental Authority; or the taking of any action by any Governmental Authority after
the date hereof in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs that in the Initial Purchaser’s opinion could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial markets in the United States or elsewhere. 
 10. Survival of Representations and Indemnities. The representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and contribution and expense
reimbursement provisions and other agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive, regardless of
(i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, (ii) acceptance of the Notes, and payment for them hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
any termination of this Agreement, the Company shall remain liable for all expenses pursuant to Sections 5(f) and 8. 
 11.
Information Supplied by the Initial Purchaser. The name of the Initial Purchaser set forth on the front cover, back cover and under the heading “Plan of Distribution” of the Offering Circular, the statements set forth on

Distribution” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular (to the extent such statements relate to the Initial Purchaser) (the “Initial Purchaser Information) constitute the only information furnished by
the Initial Purchaser to the Company or the Guarantors for the purposes of Sections 4(a) and 8 hereof. 
 12. No
Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge that the Initial Purchaser is acting solely as initial purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Notes. The Company further acknowledges that the
Initial Purchaser is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Initial Purchaser act or be responsible as a fiduciary to
the Company, the 

 
Guarantors or their respective management, stockholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Initial Purchaser may
undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Notes, either before or after the date hereof. The Initial Purchaser hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations, either in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Company and the Guarantors hereby confirm their understanding and agreement to that effect. The parties hereto agree that they are each responsible
for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Initial Purchaser to the Company or the Guarantors regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any
opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Notes, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Company or the Guarantors. The Company and the Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
claims that either of the Company may have against the Initial Purchaser with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Guarantors in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.
