 RECITALS OF THE COMPANY 

WHEREAS, the Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of its
debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness to be issued in one or more series as provided for in the Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, the

one or more supplemental indentures thereto; 
 WHEREAS, the Company has determined to issue a series of senior Securities under the

such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture; and 

WHEREAS, the Company, by action duly taken, has authorized the execution of this Supplemental Indenture and the issuance of the Notes; 

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH: 

For and in consideration of the premises stated herein and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, the parties hereto hereby enter
into this First Supplemental Indenture, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Notes, as follows: 
 ARTICLE I.

 DEFINITIONS 

SECTION 1.1.    Certain Terms Defined in the Indenture. 

For purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Indenture, as amended and supplemented hereby (and in the case of the term “Indebtedness,” with respect to the Notes, the definition set forth below shall supersede and replace the definition set forth in the
Indenture). 

 SECTION 1.2.    Definitions. 

For the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, Section 101 of the Indenture shall be amended by adding or substituting, as applicable, the
following new definitions: 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes cease to be rated at or above an
Investment Grade Rating by both Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control)
and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as either of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a
possible ratings change). If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated an Investment Grade Rating by such Rating Agency during that Trigger
Period. 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(1) a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act other than the
Company, its subsidiaries and their respective employee benefit plans and any Permitted Holder, has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act,
of the Company’s capital stock representing, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of such capital stock; or 

(2) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the stockholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 
 (3) any conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to another Person, other than: 
 (A) any transaction: 

(i) that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of the outstanding equity interests of
the Company; or 
 (ii) pursuant to which holders of the outstanding equity interests of the Company, immediately prior to
the transaction, have the entitlement to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all equity interests entitled to vote generally in elections of directors or managers of the continuing or surviving or successor
entity immediately after giving effect to such issuance; or 
 (B) any transfer of assets or similar transaction solely for
the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of organization and resulting in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of the outstanding equity interests of the Company, if at all, solely into outstanding equity interests of the
surviving entity or a direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity; or 

  
 2 

 (C) any conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition with or into
any of the subsidiaries of the Company, so long as such conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition is not part of a plan or a series of transactions designed to or having the effect of merging or consolidating with, or conveying,
transferring, selling, leasing or disposing all or substantially all its properties and assets to, any other Person. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Change of Control will be deemed to have occurred in the event any successor issuer of the Notes shall be a corporation so long as one or more Permitted Holders shall maintain the beneficial ownership of shares of the capital stock of such successor
possessing the voting power under normal circumstances to elect, or one or more Permitted Holders shall have the contractual right to elect, a majority of the directors of such successor corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will
not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (a) Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b) the holders of the voting capital stock of such holding company immediately following that
transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P.’s voting partnership interests immediately prior to that transaction. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating
Event. 
 “Designated Subsidiary” means each of (i) BGC Holdings, L.P., (ii) BGC Global Holdings, L.P., (iii) BGC
Partners, L.P. and (iv) any other direct or indirect subsidiary now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company for which (a) the Net Assets of such subsidiary constitute, as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, 5% or
more of the Total Stockholders’ Equity of the Company or (b) the net revenues of such subsidiary constitute, as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, 10% or more of the consolidated net revenues of the Company during
the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters; provided, however, that none of the following shall be a Designated Subsidiary: 

(1)    any Person in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not own sufficient equity or voting
interests to elect a majority of the directors (or persons performing similar functions); 
 (2)    any
Person whose financial results would not be consolidated with those of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP; 

(3)    any Person which is a subsidiary of a Company subsidiary the common equity of which is registered
under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act; and 
 (4)    any subsidiary of any Person
described in clauses (1), (2) or (3) above.

Section 2.7(b) below.

 “Global Notes” means, individually and collectively, each of the Notes in
the form of global Securities (including any Rule 144A Security or Regulation S Security) registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

conditional sale obligations and all obligations under any title retention agreement (but excluding trade accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business); 

(4)    all obligations of such Person for the reimbursement of any obligor on any banker’s acceptance,
bank guarantees, surety bonds or similar credit transaction; and 
 (5)    any amendments, modifications,
refundings, renewals or extensions of any indebtedness or obligation described as “Indebtedness” in clauses (1) through (4) above; 
 if
and to the extent any of the preceding items (other than letters of credit) would appear as a liability upon a balance sheet of such Person prepared in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, the term “Indebtedness” includes all of
the following items, whether or not any such items would appear as a liability on a balance sheet of such Person prepared in accordance with GAAP: 
  

	 	(i)	 all Indebtedness of others secured by any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance on any
property or asset of such Person (whether or not such Indebtedness is assumed by such Person); 

  

	 	(ii)	 to the extent not otherwise included, any guarantee by such Person of Indebtedness of any other Person; and

  

	 	(iii)	 preferred stock or other equity interests providing for mandatory redemption or sinking fund or similar
payments issued by any subsidiary of such Person. 

 “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or

benefit or for the benefit of his spouse, any of his descendants or any of his relatives, in each case, so long as he is alive and, upon his death or incapacity, any person who shall, as a result of Mr. Lutnick’s death or incapacity,
become a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Company’s capital stock by operation of a trust, by will or the laws of descent and distribution or by
operation of law. 
 “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch and S&P; and (2) if either of Fitch or S&P
ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of
the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Fitch or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

with U.S. GAAP, would be included under total stockholders’ equity on a consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company. For purposes of determining Total Stockholders’ Equity, the Company may include the amount of any capital
to be returned pursuant to the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of BGC Holdings, L.P., as amended from time to time, to any limited or general partner who has been terminated or withdrawn until such time as the amount of such
partner’s capital has been paid to such limited or general partner pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Partnership Agreement plus, without duplication, redeemable partnership interest representing former partner’s equity in the
Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Total Stockholders’ Equity is inclusive of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition.

 SECTION 2.2. Certain Terms of the Notes. 

The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established: 

(a)    Title. The Notes shall constitute a series of senior Securities having the title “3.750% Senior
Notes due 2024.” 
 (b)    Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be
initially authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 905 or 1107 of the
Indenture) shall be THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($300,000,000). The Company may, from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, the Holders of the Notes, issue and sell additional Securities (“Additional Securities”)
ranking equally and ratably with the Notes in all respects (other than the issue date, and to the extent applicable, issue price, initial date of interest accrual and initial Interest Payment Date of such Additional Securities), provided that
such Additional Securities are fungible with the previously issued Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such Additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the
Indenture, including voting. 
 (c)    Maturity Date. The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall
be payable on October 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). 
 (d)    Interest Rate.
Subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.7 below, the rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 3.750% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months; the date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be September 27, 2019, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for; the Interest
Payment Dates for the Notes shall be the first day of April and October of each year, commencing on April 1, 2020; the interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, will be paid, in immediately
available funds, to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth day of March and September (whether or
not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not punctually paid or duly 

  
 10 

 
provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the respective Holders on such Regular Record Date, and such defaulted interest may be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in said Indenture. Payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated for such purpose, 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; provided, however, that each installment of interest, premium, if any, and principal on the Notes
may at the Company’s option be paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States. 

(e)    Currency. The currency of denomination of the Notes is United States dollars. Payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes will be made in United States dollars. 
 SECTION 2.3. Optional Redemption. 

(a)    Applicability of Article Eleven. The provisions of Article Eleven of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes,
as supplemented by Sections 2.3(b) and (c) below. 
 (b)    Redemption Price. At any time prior to
September 1, 2024, the Company will be entitled at its option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of
the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount such payments to the Redemption Date on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Notes Reinvestment Rate. 

On and after September 1, 2024, the Company will be entitled at its option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

For purposes of the foregoing: 

“Notes Reinvestment Rate” means 0.35%, or 35 basis points, plus the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) of the yields displayed for each day in the preceding calendar week published in the most recent Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury constant maturities” for the
maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to the date that is one month prior to the stated maturity date for the notes as of the date of redemption. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such remaining life to
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such remaining life to the 

  
 11 

 
date that is one month prior to the stated maturity date shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Notes Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated
from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. 
 “Remaining Scheduled
Payments” means, with respect to any note to be redeemed, (i) the outstanding principal thereof plus, (ii) the interest on such principal that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption to, but
excluding, the date that is one month prior to the stated maturity date for the notes; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment
thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. 
 “Statistical
Release” means that statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication that is published daily by the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted
to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release (or a successor publication) is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index that shall be designated by the Company. For the
purpose of calculating the Notes Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Notes Reinvestment Rate shall be used. 

(c)    Interest Payable. On and after any Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes
or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price. 

(d)    Conditions Precedent. Any redemption notice given in respect of a redemption made pursuant to this
Section 2.3 may be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent set forth in the notice. 
 SECTION 2.4. Offer to
Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised
its right to redeem the Notes as described above, holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $2,000 original principal amount and $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes
pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes
repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the
Company will be required to mail a notice to holders of the Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date
specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such
notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and 

  
 12 

 
regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Company will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will
not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control
Offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment
Date an event of default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all Notes or
portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Trustee, acting as paying agent, an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof Notes properly
tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased. 

SECTION 2.5. Limitation on Liens on Capital Stock of Designated Subsidiaries. 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes that, for so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Company
will not, and the Company will not permit any Designated Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur, guarantee or otherwise permit to exist any Indebtedness secured by any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance (a
“lien”) upon any shares of Capital Stock of any Designated Subsidiary directly or indirectly held by the Company (whether such Capital Stock are now owned or hereafter acquired) without effectively providing concurrently that the
Notes (and, if the Company so elects, any other Indebtedness of the Company that is not subordinate to the Notes and with respect to which the governing instruments of such Indebtedness require the Company, or pursuant to which the Company is
otherwise obligated, to provide such security) will be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Indebtedness for at least the time period such other Indebtedness is so secured. This covenant shall not apply to liens on the Capital Stock
of any Person existing at the time it becomes a Designated Subsidiary (and any extensions, renewals or replacements thereof). 
 SECTION
2.6. Use of Net Proceeds. (a) The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes that the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and expenses payable
by the Company in connection with the offering of the Notes) to lend to its subsidiaries pursuant to one or more promissory notes. So long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, (1) the aggregate principal amount of all such promissory notes
shall not be less than the amount of the net proceeds from the offering of 

  
 13 

 
the Notes (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of Notes then Outstanding), (2) such promissory notes shall bear interest at rates that shall not be less than that borne by the Notes and
(3) such promissory notes shall have terms not later than the Maturity Date; provided that any transfer of such obligation from one subsidiary to another or any refinancing of any such obligation by another subsidiary shall be permitted from
time to time. 
 (b)    The Company covenants and agrees that so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, any
Indebtedness for borrowed money the Company incurs after the date hereof in one transaction, or in a series of related transactions, that is in excess of $25,000,000.00 will be subject to a similar covenant. 

SECTION 2.7.    Interest Rate Adjustments Based on Ratings Events 

(a)     The interest rate payable on the Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if each of the Rating
Agencies (as defined above) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes, in the manner described below. 

(b)    If the rating from each of the Rating Agencies of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately
following table (a “Downgrade Event”), the interest rate on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of the initial issuance of Notes plus the percentage set forth opposite
the applicable rating from the table below: 
  

					
	 Debt Rating (each Rating Agency)
	  	Percentage	 
	 BBB- or higher
	  	 	—  	 
	 BB+
	  	 	0.50	% 
	 BB or lower
	  	 	1.00	% 

 For the avoidance of doubt, any increase in the interest payable on the Notes shall require a decrease in the
rating of the Notes by each of the Rating Agencies to the relevant threshold ratings set forth above. 
 (c)    If,
subsequent to a Downgrade Event, either of the Rating Agencies increases its respective rating of the Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the interest rate on the Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate for the Notes
equals the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of the initial issuance of the Notes plus the percentage set forth opposite the applicable rating from the table above. For the avoidance of doubt, any decrease in the interest payable on the
Notes shall require an increase in the rating of the Notes by only one of the Rating Agencies to relevant threshold ratings set forth above. 

(d)    For so long as (i) only one of the Rating Agencies provides a rating of the Notes or (ii) the Notes are
not rated by either of the Rating Agencies, the interest rate on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of the initial issuance of the Notes plus 1.00% per annum. 

  
 14 

 (e)    Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take
effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate. If either Rating Agency changes its rating of the Notes more than once during any particular interest period, the last change
by such Rating Agency will control for purposes of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to the Notes described above relating to such Rating Agency’s action. 

(f)    The Company will communicate an increase or decrease in the interest rate applicable to the Notes pursuant to this
Section 2.7 to the Trustee in the form of an Officer’s Certificate. 
 (g)    The term “interest,”
as used in the Indenture with respect to the Notes, shall be deemed to include any such additional interest applicable pursuant to this Section 2.7, unless the context otherwise requires. 

SECTION 2.8. Reports to Holders. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes that, for so long as any
of the Notes are Outstanding, during any period in which the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will (i) make available to all Holders of Notes (including by posting on
the Company’s website), without cost to such Holders, copies of annual reports and quarterly reports containing information that is substantially similar to the information that is required to be contained in such reports that the Company would
have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it were subject thereto (other than exhibits or any information that would have been required by Items 402 and 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act) and (ii) promptly, upon request, supply copies of such reports to any prospective Holder of Notes. The Company will make available such information to the Holders of Notes within
15 days after the respective dates by which a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, in respect of such information would have been required to
be filed with the Commission if the Company were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as a non-accelerated filer, as such term is defined in Rule
12b-2 under the Exchange Act. 
 SECTION 2.9. Events of Default. 

Section 501(3) of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes. 

Section 501(4) of the Indenture shall be superseded and replaced with respect to the Notes by the following: 

(4) Default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture or any of the
Securities of such series (other than a covenant or warranty for which the consequences of breach or nonperformance are addressed elsewhere in this Section 501 or a covenant or warranty which has expressly been included in this Indenture,
whether or not by means of a supplemental indenture, solely for the benefit of Securities of a series other than such series), and continuance of such default or breach (without such default or breach having been waived in accordance of the
provisions of this Indenture) for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

  
 15 

 The following additional Event of Default shall be applicable to the Notes pursuant to
Section 501(7): 
 A default by the Company in the payment in respect of any Indebtedness for borrowed money, including
obligations evidenced by any mortgage, indenture, bond, debenture, note, guarantee or similar instrument, in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100 million beyond any applicable grace period, or default in the performance or compliance
with any term respecting such debt, if as a consequence such debt becomes due and payable before its date of maturity, and such default shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such Indebtedness shall not have been discharged and such default
continues for period of thirty consecutive days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

	REGISTERED	 	PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $[●]
	No. [●]	 	
		
	CUSIP: [●]	 	

 BGC PARTNERS, INC., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company,” which term includes
any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [●] ($[●]) on October 1, 2024 (the “Maturity
Date”) (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Maturity Date) and to pay interest thereon from September 27, 2019 (the “Original Issue Date”) or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for at the rate of 3.750% per annum, on the first day of April and October (of each year each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on April 1, 2020, until the principal
hereof is paid or made available for payment. 
 Payment of Interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or made available
for payment, on any Interest Payment Date, will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
fifteenth day of March and September (whether or not a Business Day, as defined in the Indenture referred to herein), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”). Any such interest not
punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of
Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 Place of Payment. Payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest on this Note will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated for such purpose, 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; provided, however, that each installment of interest, premium, if any, and principal on this Note may at the Company’s option be paid in immediately available funds
by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States. 
 Time of Payment. In any case where any
Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or any date fixed for redemption of the Notes shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note), payment of principal,

  
 A-4 

 
premium, if any, or interest, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date,
the Maturity Date or the date so fixed for redemption or repayment, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue in respect of the delay. 

General. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of September 27, 2019, among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Note is a part), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of September 27, 2019 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the
Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered; provided that to the extent of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions in the Indenture and
those contained in this Note, the Indenture shall govern. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities designated as “3.750% Senior Notes due 2024” (collectively, the “Notes”), initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($300,000,000). 
 Further Issuance. The Company may, from time to time, without
notice to, or the consent of, the Holders of the Notes, issue and sell additional Securities (“Additional Securities”) ranking equally and ratably with the Notes in all respects (other than the issue date, and to the extent
applicable, issue price, initial date of interest accrual and initial Interest Payment Date of such Additional Securities), provided that such Additional Securities are fungible with the previously issued Notes for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. Any such Additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture, including voting. 

Events of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of the Notes
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 Sinking Fund. The Notes are not
subject to any sinking fund. 
 (a)    Optional Redemption. At any time prior to September 1, 2024, the
Company will be entitled at its option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 In
determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount such payments to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Notes Reinvestment Rate. 

  
 A-5 

 On and after September 1, 2024, the Company will be entitled at its option to redeem
the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

Any redemption notice given in respect of a redemption may be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent set forth in the
notice of redemption. 
 For purposes of the foregoing: 

“Notes Reinvestment Rate” means 0.35%, or 35 basis points, plus the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) of the yields displayed for each day in the preceding calendar week published in the most recent Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury constant maturities” for the
maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to the date that is one month prior to the stated maturity date for the notes as of the date of redemption. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such remaining life to
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such remaining life to the date that is one month prior to the stated maturity date shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Notes
Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any note to be redeemed, (i) the outstanding principal thereof
plus, (ii) the interest on such principal that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption to, but excluding, the date that is one month prior to the stated maturity date for the notes; provided, however, that, if
such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. 

“Statistical Release” means that statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication that is
published daily by the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release (or a successor publication) is not published at the time
of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index that shall be designated by the Company. For the purpose of calculating the Notes Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the
date of determination of the Notes Reinvestment Rate shall be used. 
 Interest Rate Adjustments Based on Ratings Events. 

(a)     The interest rate payable on the Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if each of the Rating
Agencies downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes, in the manner described below. 

(b)    If the rating from each of the Rating Agencies of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately
following table (a “Downgrade Event”), the interest rate on the 

  
 A-6 

 
Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of the initial issuance of Notes plus the percentage set forth opposite the applicable rating from
the table below: 
  

					
	 Debt Rating (each Rating Agency)
	  	Percentage	 
	 BBB- or higher
	  	 	—  	 
	 BB+
	  	 	0.50	% 
	 BB or lower
	  	 	1.00	% 

 For the avoidance of doubt, any increase in the interest payable on the Notes shall require a decrease in the
rating of the Notes by each of the Rating Agencies to the relevant threshold ratings set forth above. 
 (c)    If,
subsequent to a Downgrade Event, either of the Rating Agencies increases its respective rating of the Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the interest rate on the Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate for the Notes
equals the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of the initial issuance of the Notes plus the percentage set forth opposite the applicable rating from the table above. For the avoidance of doubt, any decrease in the interest payable on the
Notes shall require an increase in the rating of the Notes by only one of the Rating Agencies to relevant threshold ratings set forth above. 

(d)    For so long as (i) only one of the Rating Agencies provides a rating of the Notes or (ii) the Notes are
not rated by either of the Rating Agencies, the interest rate on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of the initial issuance of the Notes plus 1.00% per annum. 

(e)    Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect from the first day of the interest period
during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate. If either Rating Agency changes its rating of the Notes more than once during any particular interest period, the last change by such Rating Agency will control for purposes
of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to the Notes described above relating to such Rating Agency’s action. 

(f)    The Company will communicate an increase or decrease in the interest rate applicable to the Notes pursuant to
Section 2.7 of the First Supplemental Indenture to the Trustee in the form of an Officer’s Certificate. 

(g)    The term “interest,” as used in the Indenture with respect to the Notes, shall be deemed to include any
such additional interest applicable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the First Supplemental Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires. 

Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has
exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described above under “Optional Redemption,” holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $2,000 original principal
amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to 

  
 A-7 

 
the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the
then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days
following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will be required to mail a notice to holders of the Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the
Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein
and in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Company
will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the
Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required,
to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Trustee, acting as paying agent, an amount equal to the Change of Control
Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Notes or portions of Notes being purchased. 
 Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance
at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default, in each case which provisions shall apply to this Note. 

Modification and Waivers; Obligations of the Company Absolute. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities. Such amendment may be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the 

  
 A-8 

 
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Securities, to waive compliance by the
Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of individual series to waive on behalf of all of
the Holders of Securities of such individual series certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Note and upon all future Holders of this Note
and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

Limitation on Suits. As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Note will have any right to
institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceedings as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by
the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, this Note on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. 
 Registration of Transfer or Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the
principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same. 

  
 A-9 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to
due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Defined Terms. All terms used in this Note, which are
defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 References
to Interest. Any reference to interest on, or in respect of, the Notes in the Indenture shall be deemed to include any interest payable to Holders of the Notes pursuant to the terms of that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated
September 27, 2019, among the Company and the several initial purchasers party thereto. 
 Governing Law. The Indenture and the
Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles of such State other than New York General Obligations Law

 2.    Registration Under the Securities Act. (a) To the
extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering an offer to the Holders to exchange all
the Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities and (ii) have such Registration Statement become effective on or before the Target Registration Date and remain effective until 180 days after the last Exchange Date for use by one or more
Participating Broker-Dealers. The Company shall commence the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer not later
than 60 days after such effective date. 
 After the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, the Company shall commence
the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities by mailing, or delivering in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary and applicable law the related Prospectus, appropriate letters of transmittal and other accompanying documents to
each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law, substantially the following: 

(i)    that such Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable
Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange; 
 (ii)    the
dates of acceptance for exchange of Securities (which shall be a period of at least 20 Business Days (or such longer period as required by applicable law) from the date such notice is disseminated) (each, an “Exchange Date”); 

(iii)    that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest
but will not retain any rights under this Agreement, except as otherwise specified herein; 

(iv)    that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer
will be required to (A) surrender such Registrable Security, together with the appropriate letters of transmittal, to the institution and at the address and in the manner specified in the notice, or (B) effect such exchange otherwise in
compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in each case prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and 

(v)    that any Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election, not later than the close of business on
the last Exchange Date, by (A) sending to the institution and at the address specified in the notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities
delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities exchanged or (B) effecting such withdrawal in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. 

As a condition to participating in an Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required to represent to the Company that (i) any Exchange
Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of the commencement of such Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution
(within the 

  
 5 

 
meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under
the Securities Act) of the Company and (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading
activities, then such Holder will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 

As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company shall: 

(i)    accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and 
 (ii)    deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the
Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to
the principal amount of the Registrable Securities tendered by such Holder. 
 The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. No Exchange Offer shall be
subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff. 

(b)    In the event that (i) the Company determines that the Exchange Offer provided for in Section 2(a) above
is not available or may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason completed
by the Target Registration Date or (iii) the Company receives a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from any Holder representing that it holds Registrable Securities that are or were ineligible to be exchanged in the Exchange
Offer, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or Shelf Request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the
Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective; provided that (a) no Holder will be entitled to have any Registrable Securities included in any Shelf Registration Statement,
or entitled to use the prospectus forming a part of such Shelf Registration Statement, until such Holder shall have delivered a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire and provided such other information regarding such Holder to the Company as
is contemplated by Section 3(b) hereof, and (b) the Company shall be under no obligation to file any such Shelf Registration Statement before the Target Registration Date. 

In the event that the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file and have become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement
(which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Holders after completion of the Exchange Offer. 

  
 6 

 The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective until the Securities covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company further agrees to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement and the
related Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if
reasonably requested by a Participating Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to such Participating Holder, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and
such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company agrees to furnish to the Participating Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its
being used or filed with the SEC, as requested by the Participating Holders. 
 (c)    The Company shall pay all
Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the
sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 

(d)    An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not be deemed to have become
effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC. A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or is automatically
effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act. 
 In the event that either the Exchange Offer is not
completed or a Shelf Registration Statement, if required pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii) hereof, does not become effective on or prior to the Target Registration Date, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by
(i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period following the Target Registration Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum thereafter until the applicable Exchange Offer is completed, the Shelf
Registration Statement, if required hereby, becomes effective or the Securities become freely tradable under the Securities Act; provided that in no event should the interest rate be increased by an aggregate amount of more than 0.50% per
annum. 
 If the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has become effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the
Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable on more than two occasions, and such failures to remain effective or be usable continue for more than 30 consecutive days in any 12-month period, then the
interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum commencing on the day after the 30th day of the second such 30-consecutive-day period
and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement has again become effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable; provided that in no event shall the interest rate be increased by an aggregate amount of more than 0.50% per
annum. 

  
 7 

 (e)    The Company shall be entitled to suspend its obligation to file
any amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish any supplement or amendment to a Prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement, make any other filing with the SEC that would be incorporated by reference into a Shelf Registration
Statement, cause a Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective or the Prospectus usable or take any similar action (collectively, “Suspension Actions”) if there is a possible acquisition or business combination or other
transaction, business development or event involving the Company or its subsidiaries that may require disclosure in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus and the Company determines that such disclosure is not in the best interest of the
Company and its stockholders or obtaining any financial statements relating to any such acquisition or business combination required to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus would be impracticable. Upon the occurrence of any
of the conditions described in the foregoing sentence, the Company shall give prompt notice of the delay or suspension (but not the basis thereof) to the Participating Holders. Upon the termination of such condition, the Company shall promptly
proceed with all Suspension Actions that were delayed or suspended and, if required, shall give prompt notice to the Participating Holders of the cessation of the delay or suspension (but not the basis thereof). 

(f)    Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company acknowledges that
any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it
will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations
under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof. 
 3.    Registration Procedures. (a) In connection
with its obligations pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall: 

(i)    prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the Securities
Act, which form (x) shall be selected by the Company, (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Participating Holders thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all
material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include or, if permitted by applicable law, incorporate by reference all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof; 

(ii)    prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration
Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so
supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and keep each Prospectus current during the period described in Section 4(a)(3) of, and Rule 174 under, the Securities Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or
dealers with respect to the Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities; 
 (iii)    to the extent any
Free Writing Prospectus is used, file with the SEC any Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act and to retain a copy of any Free Writing Prospectus not required to be
filed; 

  
 8 

 (iv)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to
each Participating Holder, to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to counsel for such Participating Holders and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or
preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as such Participating Holder, counsel or Underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities thereunder; and the
Company consents to the use of such Prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the Participating Holders and any such Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale
of the Registrable Securities covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law; 

(v)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under all
applicable state securities, blue sky laws or comparable non-U.S. laws of such jurisdictions as any Participating Holder shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable Registration Statement
becomes effective; cooperate with such Participating Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each Participating Holder to
complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such Participating Holder; provided that the Company shall not be required to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer
in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (2) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is
not otherwise so subject; 
 (vi)    notify counsel for the Initial Purchasers and, in the case of a
Shelf Registration, notify each Participating Holder and counsel for such Participating Holders promptly and, if requested by any such Participating Holder or counsel, confirm such notice in writing (1) when a Registration Statement has become
effective, when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective and when any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus has been filed, (2) of any request by the SEC or any other securities authority for amendments and
supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement has become effective, (3) of the issuance by the SEC or any other securities authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, including the receipt by the Company of any notice of objection of the SEC to the use of a Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, (4) if, between the applicable effective date of a Shelf Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, the representations and
warranties of the Company contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such Registrable Securities cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the
Company receives any notification with respect to 

  
 9 

 
the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (5) of the happening of any event during
the period a Registration Statement is effective that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading and (6) of any determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus would be appropriate;

 (vii)    use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the resolution of any objection of the SEC pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, including by filing an amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement
on the proper form, as soon as reasonably practicable and provide prompt notice to each Holder of the withdrawal of any such order or such resolution; 

(viii)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Participating Holder, without charge, upon
request, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without any documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested), if such documents are not available via the
SEC’s EDGAR system; 
 (ix)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the Participating
Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and, in the
case of certificated securities, registered in such names (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) as such Participating Holders may reasonably request at least one Business Day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;

 (x)    upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, subject to
Section 2(e) hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus
or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available) to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company shall notify the Participating Holders
(in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) and the Initial Purchasers and any Participating Broker-Dealers known to the Company (in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as
practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and such Participating Holders, Participating Broker-Dealers and Initial Purchasers, as applicable, hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented the
Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and expressly agree to maintain the information contained in such notice confidential (except that such information may be disclosed to its counsel) until it has been publicly disclosed by the
Company; 

  
 10 

 (xi)    a reasonable time prior to the filing of any
Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any amendment to a Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus after initial
filing of a Registration Statement, provide copies of such document to the Representatives and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, to the Participating Holders and their counsel) and make the representatives of the
Company available for discussion of such document as reasonably requested by the Representatives or their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel); and the Company shall not, at any
time after initial filing of a Registration Statement, use or file any Prospectus, any amendment of or supplement to a Registration Statement or a Prospectus, or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a
Prospectus, of which the Representatives and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders and their counsel) shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy or to which the Representatives
or their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Participating Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably object in writing on a timely basis, except for any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a
Registration Statement or a Prospectus (a copy of which has been previously furnished as provided in the preceding sentence) which counsel to the Company has advised in writing is required to be filed in order to comply with applicable law; 

(xii)    utilize the CUSIP numbers obtained and made eligible with the Depositary prior to the closing of
the initial offering of the Securities and provided to the Company for the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be; 

(xiii)    cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the
registration of the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be; cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the
terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and execute, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the 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 SEC to
enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 
 (xiv)    in the case of a Shelf
Registration, make available for inspection upon written request by a representative of the Participating Holders (an “Inspector”), any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, one
firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants designated by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration and one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants designated
by such Underwriter, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries reasonably requested by any such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or
accountant, and cause the 

  
 11 

 
respective officers and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration
Statement, subject to such confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably require and to any applicable privilege; provided that if any such information is identified by the Company as being confidential or proprietary, each Person
receiving such information shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and
interests of any such Inspector, Participating Holder or Underwriter); 
 (xv)    in the case of a Shelf
Registration, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered thereby to be listed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar senior unconvertible debt securities issued or
guaranteed by the Company are then listed if requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, to the extent such Registrable Securities satisfy applicable listing
requirements; 
 (xvi)    if reasonably requested by any Participating Holder, promptly include or, if
permitted by applicable law, incorporate by reference, in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to such Participating Holder as such Participating Holder reasonably requests to be included therein and make
all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received notification of and relevant information regarding the matters to be so included in such filing; and

 (xvii)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such
other actions in connection therewith (including those requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (1) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Participating Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable
Securities with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as
are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings and consistent with the applicable representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement and confirm the same if and when requested, (2) in connection with an
Underwritten Offering, obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Participating Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed
to each Participating Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and consistent with the opinions delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
(3) in connection with an Underwritten Offering, obtain “comfort” letters from the independent registered public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other registered public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company,
or of any business acquired or to be acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be 

  
 12 

 
included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each Participating Holder (to the extent permitted by applicable professional standards) and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such
letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings, including but not limited to financial information contained in any preliminary prospectus
or Prospectus and (4) in connection with an Underwritten Offering, deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the
Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in underwritten offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary
conditions contained in an underwriting agreement. 
 (b)    In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company
may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in
writing and require such Holder to agree in writing to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder so long as such Holder fails to
furnish such information or fails to agree in writing to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement within a reasonable time after receiving such request. No Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to additional interest pursuant to
Section 2(d) hereof in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such information and have agreed in writing to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement if requested by the Company.
Each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed so that the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder
is not materially misleading and does not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. 

(c)    In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Participating Holder of Registrable Securities covered in such
Shelf Registration Statement agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(vi)(3) or 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, such Participating Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Participating Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(x) hereof and, if so directed
by the Company, such Participating Holder will deliver to the Company all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is
current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 (d)    If the Company shall give any notice to suspend the disposition
of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and
including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. 

  
 13 

 (e)    The Participating Holders who desire to do so may sell such
Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each an “Underwriter”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in such offering, subject in each case to consent by the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

(f)    No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Holder
(a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

4.    Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff has taken the position that any
broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (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 Securities.

 The Company understands that it is the Staff’s 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 Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of
Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in
connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act. 

(b)    In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to amend or
supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement), if requested by one or
more Participating Broker-Dealer, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above. The Company further agrees
that Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4. 

(c)    The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company or any Holder with respect to any request that they
may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above. 
 5.    Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against 

  
 14 

 
any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and
expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, any Free Writing
Prospectus or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities 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 any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or information relating to any Participating Holder furnished to the Company in writing through the
Representatives or any Participating Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar
securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in writing in advance by a selling Holder in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information. 

(b)    Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Initial Purchasers
and the other selling Holders, the directors of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions that 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 any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use
in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus. 
 (c)    If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental
or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified
Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it
from any liability that it may have under this Section 5 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 5. If any such suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory
investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, upon request of the Indemnified 

  
 15 

 
Person, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to
this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such
proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding,
any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have
mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person
and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection
with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be
reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, (y) for
any Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. Upon receipt of notice from the
Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of the Indemnifying Person’s retention of counsel designated by the Indemnifying Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5
and the approval by the Indemnified Person of such counsel, the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof
unless the Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with items (i)-(iv) set forth above in this Section 5(c). The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph unless the Indemnifying
Person notifies the Indemnified Person that it disputes in good faith its obligation to provide such reimbursement, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person,

  
 16 

 
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on
behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
 (d)    If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is
unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company from the offering
of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holders and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

(e)    The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above,
any documented out-of-pocket legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the
amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several and not
joint. 
 (f)    The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or
remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 
 (g)    The indemnity and
contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any
Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. 

  
 17 

 6.    General. 

(a)    No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that (i) the rights granted to
the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company under any other agreement and (ii) the Company has not
entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

 (b)    Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence,
may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent other than any Registrable Securities owned directly or indirectly by the Company or any of its affiliates; provided that no
amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments,
modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment modification,
supplement, waiver or consent thereafter shall be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 6(b), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment,
modification, supplement waiver or consent appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder. Each Holder may waive compliance with respect to any obligation of the Company under this Agreement as it may apply or be enforced by
such particular Holder. 
 (c)    Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by means of
a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Representatives, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Company, initially at the
Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other persons at their respective addresses
as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the
time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely
delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture. 

  
 18 

 (d)    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to
permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by
