(i) the Issuer would otherwise be required to consummate an Exchange Offer Registration pursuant to Section 2.01 but determines that such Exchange Offer Registration is not available or that such Exchange Offer may not be completed on or prior to the 30th Business Day following the Effectiveness Deadline because it would violate any applicable law, SEC rules and regulations or any interpretation of the staff of the SEC,

(ii) an Exchange Offer is not for any other reason completed by the last Exchange Date or

(iii) upon receipt of a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from any Initial Purchaser representing that it holds Transfer Restricted Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution that are or were ineligible to be exchanged in an Exchange Offer, the Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Holders of each series of Notes and the Trustee written notice thereof and shall use its 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 Transfer Restricted Notes of the applicable Series by the Holders thereof (offering such Holders the opportunity to include their Transfer Restricted Securities thereon, and advising such Holders that the distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities will be made in accordance with the method selected by the Majority Holders participating in the Shelf Registration) and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective by the 90th day following such determination date or Shelf Request.

(b) In the event that the Issuer is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended (including through post- effective amendments on Form S-3 or Form F-3 if the Issuer is eligible to use such Form) until the date which is the earliest of (i) 180 days after the Effectiveness Deadline, (ii) the date when all of the Notes covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold and (iii) the date when Holders, other than Holders that are “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Issuer, have actually sold such Notes pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor or similar rule thereto (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(d) The Issuer shall not permit any securities other than Transfer Restricted Notes to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that if the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Notes is registered pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the foregoing prohibition shall apply only to the supplement or amendment covering such registration. The Issuer agrees, if necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, as required by Section 3.01(b) below, and to furnish to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.

Section 2.03. Expenses. The Issuer shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02. 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 Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

Section 2.04. Effectiveness. (a) The Issuer will be deemed not to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to cause an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite period if the Issuer voluntarily takes any action that would, or omits to take any action which omission would, result in any such Registration Statement not being declared effective, or in the Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such Transfer Restricted Notes during that period as and to the extent contemplated hereby, unless such action is required by applicable law, in each case other than under the circumstances described in Sections 3.01(e)(iii), (iv) or (v) below.

(b) Neither an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof nor a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, if not otherwise effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462, will be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if, after it becomes effective, the offering of Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will not be deemed effective during the period of such interference, until the offering of Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume.

Section 2.05. Additional Interest. (a) In the event that:

(i) neither an Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor a Shelf Registration Statement covering a Series of Notes is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline; or

(ii) (A) the Issuer has not exchanged all Transfer Restricted Notes of a Series of Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of an Exchange Offer for Exchange Notes on or prior to the 30th Business Day after the Effectiveness Deadline or (B) if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period (provided that the Issuer will be permitted to suspend the use of the prospectus that is part of such Shelf Registration Statement if the Issuer’s management determines to do so for valid business reasons, including circumstances relating to pending corporate developments and similar events or filings with the SEC, for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any twelve-month period, and without specifying the nature of the event giving rise to a suspension in any notice of suspension provided to the Holders)

(any event referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), a “Registration Default”), then additional interest (“Additional Interest”) will accrue on the principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Notes of the applicable Series at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days commencing on the day following the Registration Default, which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period thereafter that such Additional Interest continues to accrue; provided that the rate at which such Additional Interest accrues may in no event exceed 0.50% per annum), to but excluding the date on which the Registration Default with respect to such Series has been cured.

Additional Interest will be paid semi-annually in arrears with the interest payment due on the first interest payment date following the date on which such Additional Interest begins to accrue; provided, however, that (1) the Additional Interest applicable to any Series of Transfer Restricted Notes may not accrue under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) with respect to such Series at any one time, and in no event will Additional Interest accrue after the Effectiveness Period, (2) if a Holder is not able to or does not provide the representations and information required in connection with a Shelf Registration in a timely manner and is therefore not named as a selling security holder in a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holder will not be entitled to receive any Additional Interest with respect to its Transfer Restricted Notes; and (3) the Issuer will have no other liabilities to the Holders under this Agreement with respect to any Registration Default.

(b) With respect to each Series, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee within three Business Days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event Date”) on the Notes of such Series. Any Additional Interest due shall be payable on each interest payment date of the applicable series affected thereby to the Holder of Notes of such Series with respect to which Additional Interest is due and owing. Each obligation to pay Additional Interest shall be deemed to accrue from and including the day following the applicable Event Date.

(g) make every reasonable effort to promptly 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 1933 Act, including by filing an amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement on the proper form, at the earliest possible moment and provide immediate notice to each Holder of the withdrawal of any such order or such resolution;

ARTICLE 4

INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION

Section 4.01. Indemnification. (a) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers, each of their affiliates, each Person under common control with the Initial Purchasers, each Holder, each Participating Broker-Dealer, each Person who participates as an underwriter (any such Person being an “Underwriter”) and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder or Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented 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), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Notes or Transfer Restricted Notes were registered under the 1933 Act, including any documents incorporated therein by reference, any Free Writing Prospectus used in violation of this Agreement or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the 1933 Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, subject to Sections 4.01(c) and 4.02(a) below; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by any indemnified party, in addition to local counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information concerning any Holder or Underwriter furnished to the Issuer in writing by any Holder or Underwriter expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Notes concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Notes was required to be delivered by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the 1933 Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the sale of such Notes to such person, a copy of such prospectus if the Issuer had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer.

(b) Each Holder, severally, but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, each Underwriter and the other Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer, any Underwriter or any other Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 4.01(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Issuer by such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Article 4 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

Section 4.02. Contribution. (a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article 4 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(b) The Issuer, the Holders and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers, Holders, Participating Broker-Dealers or Underwriters, as applicable, were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Article 4. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Article 4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(c) No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(d) For purposes of this Article 4, each Person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser or Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser or Holder, and each director of the Issuer, and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Article 4 are several in proportion to the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I to the Purchase Agreement and not joint, and in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the total commissions and discounts received by it in connection with the sale of the Notes.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 4, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which all of the Notes sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay under Section 4.01(b) hereof.

The remedies provided for in this Article 4 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article 4 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) 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 Issuer or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Issuer, (ii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Notes and (iii) any sale of Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

ARTICLE 5

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 5.01. Rule 144 and Rule 144A. For as long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, (a) to the extent the Issuer is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, the Issuer covenants that it will, upon the request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and (b) to the extent the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, the Issuer covenants that it will timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (including the reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act referred to in Rule 144(c)(1) under the 1933 Act).

Section 5.02. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer has not entered into, and the Issuer will not after the date of this Agreement enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not and will not for the term of this Agreement in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the Issuer’s other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

Section 5.03. 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 Issuer has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Transfer Restricted Notes of each Series affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or departure.

Section 5.04. 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 (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Issuer by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.04, which address initially, and until so changed, is the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Purchasers; and (b) if to the Issuer, initially at the Issuer’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and thereafter at such other address of which notice is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.04.

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; two 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 under the Indenture at the address specified therein.

Section 5.05. Successor 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 Transfer Restricted Notes in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Transfer Restricted Notes, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Transfer Restricted Notes shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Notes 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, including the restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase 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 Issuer 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

Section 5.06. Third Party Beneficiaries. The Initial Purchasers (even if the Initial Purchasers are not Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes) shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect their rights or the rights of Holders hereunder. Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Initial 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 hereunder.

Section 5.07. Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Issuer acknowledges that any failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations under Sections 2.01 through 2.04 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 would 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 Issuer’s obligations under Sections 2.01 through 2.04 hereof.

Section 5.08. [RESERVED]

Section 5.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile, email or other electronic transmission (i.e. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 5.10. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 5.11. Governing Law. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.

Section 5.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writing with respect thereto.

Section 5.13. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, covenants or restrictions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. The Issuer and the Initial Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 5.14. Adjustments Affecting Notes. The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Notes of each Series as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Notes of such Series to include such Notes in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement other than as contemplated in this Agreement.
