are required by applicable law, substantially the following:

(II) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person
to participate in, the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the Securities Act, (III) it

own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market making or other trading activities, then such Holder will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act, to the extent applicable, in connection with any resale of the Exchange Securities. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any broker-dealer
and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under SEC policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the SEC enunciated in Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Co., Inc.

delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a
secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are
of Exchange Securities
-6-
obtained by such Holder in exchange for Registrable Securities acquired by
such Holder directly from the Company.
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. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable
interpretations of the Staff and customary conditions relating to the delivery of Securities or other actions customarily taken by Holders
participating in the Exchange Offer or the execution and delivery of customary documentation relating to the Exchange Offer.
(b) In the event that (i) the Company determines that the Exchange
Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) hereof is not available or may not be completed as soon as reasonably practicable after
the last Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) a Holder participating in the Exchange Offer does not receive Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and U.S. federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act) and notifies (a “Holder Notice”) the Company within 30 days after such Holder first becomes aware of such
restrictions, (iii) the Exchange Offer, for any other reason, is not completed by the Target Registration Date or (iv) the Company
receives a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from any Initial Purchaser 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 file, as soon as practicable after the date of such determination, Holder Notice 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.
In the event that the Company is required to file a Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall use
-7-
commercially reasonable efforts to file and to cause to 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 Initial Purchasers, if any, after completion of the Exchange Offer.
The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period of one year from the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or such shorter period that will terminate when all of the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company further agrees to supplement or amend the Shelf
Registration Statement, the related Prospectus and any Free Writing 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 Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to
such Holder, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf Registration
Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing
Prospectus, as the case may be, to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being
used or filed with the SEC.
(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 any 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 by the Target Registration Date or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required pursuant to Sections 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(iii) hereof, is not effective by 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 immediately following such date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per
annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf
Registration Statement, if required hereby, becomes effective, up to a maximum total increase of 0.50% per annum. In the event that the Company
receives a Holder Notice or Shelf Request pursuant to Sections 2(b)(ii) or 2(b)(iv) hereof, and the Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed thereby has not become
-8-
effective by the later of (x) the Target Registration Date or (y) 90 days after
delivery of such Holder Notice or Shelf Request (such later date, the “Shelf Additional Interest Date”), then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period payable commencing from one day after the Shelf
Additional Interest Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case until the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, up to a maximum total increase of 0.50% per annum.
If the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is effective and thereafter either
ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable, in each case whether or not permitted by this Agreement, at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period (the 60th such date, the “Trigger Date”), then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day
period immediately following the Trigger Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum increase of 0.50% per annum, and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement is again effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable.
Any additional interest payable by the Company due to the increases in annual
interest rate described in this Agreement will be paid in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The additional interest referenced in this Section 2(d) shall be the sole remedy of any Holder (other than a Participating Broker-Dealer) with respect to any Exchange Offer Registration and Shelf Registration and related matters provided for in this Agreement.
(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 Holders
thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include 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 supplement each Prospectus with any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to file such Prospectus
pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and keep each Prospectus current during the period

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 the retention of
any Free Writing Prospectus not required to be filed to the extent required by SEC rules;
(iv) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use commercially reasonable efforts upon written request, to furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities included on such Shelf
Registration Statement, to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to counsel for such Holders
and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus,
preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as such Holder, counsel or Underwriter may reasonably request in writing 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 or such Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the Holders
of Registrable Securities 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 such Free
Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law;
(v) in the
case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration and qualification of the Registrable
Securities under all applicable state securities or blue sky laws, if and to the extent legally required in order to effect the Exchange Offer, and, in the
case of a Shelf Registration Statement and if necessary to permit sales under the Shelf Registration Statement, cooperate with the
selling Holders and its counsel to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under the applicable state securities
or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf
Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective; cooperate with such Holders
in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable each Holder to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such 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 subject itself to service of process in any such

Statement has become effective, when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective, when any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed or any
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus
has been filed, (2) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and

thereby, the Company receives any notification with respect to 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 or any Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Prospectus, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) 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 or any Free Writing Prospectus would be required;

(c) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each 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 Sections 3(a)(vi)(3) or 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies
of the supplemented or amended Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(a)(x) hereof
and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at its expense) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus and any Free Writing 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
or any Free Writing Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company
may give any such notice only twice during any 365-day period, any such suspensions shall not exceed 60 days for
each suspension and there shall not be more than two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period.
(e) The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf
Registration Statement 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 Company (provided the lead Underwriter shall also be reasonably acceptable to Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities
included in such offering). However, in the event of an Underwritten Offering, each Holder agrees that, neither such Holder nor any Underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to any Registration Statement on such Holder’s behalf, will make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) required to be filed by
the Company with the SEC or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Securities Act, unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Company.
(a) The Company has been advised that 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
-15-
a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.
The Company has been advised 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, if so requested by
one or more Holders who is a Participating Broker-Dealer, to use commercially reasonable efforts
to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement becomes effective (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof) and (ii) the date on which each Participating Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market making or other trading activities, in each case to
the extent necessary to ensure that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for resale of the Registrable Securities
acquired by the Participating Broker-Dealers. The Company further consents to the delivery of
(or, to the extent permitted by law, agree to make available) such Prospectus by Participating
Broker-Dealers 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 a Holder may make pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof.
(a) The Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each Holder, their respective affiliates, agents, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with 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, or in any amendment thereof or any supplement thereto, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (“Issuer
-16-
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 Holder furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such parties expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, 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 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 and its affiliates, directors and
officers, and the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or 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 or liabilities (including without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred) 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 or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any Free Writing
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 paragraph (a) or (b) above
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 paragraph (a) or (b). If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, 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 fees and expenses of such proceeding and
shall pay the reasonable 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
-17-
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 reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser or its affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by such Initial Purchasers, (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. 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. 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, 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 failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) or (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
-18-
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the
Holders, as applicable, 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 legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with 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.
(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.
-19-
(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; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 6 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 in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
(c) Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class mail, email 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 Initial Purchasers, 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) if 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; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if emailed; 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.
(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 operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held
subject to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person
shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to
receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of
such Holder under this Agreement.
(e) Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third-party beneficiary to the agreements
made hereunder between the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial
-20-
Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such
enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder.
(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act
or other applicable law, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
(g) Headings. The headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.
(h) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York.
(i) Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect
thereto. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. The Company and the Initial Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of such invalid, void or unenforceable provisions.
(j) Delegation by the Company. All references to obligations of the Company to take or not take any actions shall be satisfied so long as the Company causes such actions to be taken or not taken, as applicable.
