(b) Contents of and Requirements for Resale Registration Statement. The Company will cause the Resale Registration Statement to satisfy the following requirements:

(i) Registration for Continuous Resale by Holders Under Rule 415. The Resale Registration Statement will register, under the Securities Act, the offer and resale, from time to time on a continuous basis under Rule 415, of Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof as provided in Sections 3(b)(ii) and 3(c).

Subject to Section 4, when it first becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Resale Registration Statement will cover resales of Registrable Securities of Notice Holders identified in all Notice and Questionnaires delivered to the Company on or before the Initial Notice and Questionnaire Deadline Date.

(c) Obligation to Make Filings to Name Additional Notice Holders. Subject to Section 3(e), each Holder agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire and such other information as the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, to the Company by the Initial Notice and Questionnaire Deadline Date. Subject to Section 3(e), if a Holder does not timely complete and deliver a Notice and Questionnaire or provide the other information the Company may reasonably request in writing by the Initial Notice and Questionnaire Deadline Date, that Holder will not be named as a selling securityholder in the initial prospectus and will not be permitted to sell its Registrable Securities under the initial Resale Registration Statement.

If any Holder delivers a Notice and Questionnaire to the Company after the Initial Notice and Questionnaire Deadline Date, then, subject to Section 4 and the other provisions of this Section 3(c), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts during the Resale Registration Statement Effectiveness Period to (i) make such filing(s) with the SEC (including, if applicable, (w) a post-effective amendment, (x) a prospectus supplement, (y) any document that will be incorporated by reference in the Resale Registration Statement upon its filing or (z) a new Resale Registration Statement, provided that the Company will effect such filing by means of a prospectus supplement or a document referred to in the preceding clause (y) instead of a post-effective amendment or a new Resale Registration Statement, if reasonably practicable and then permitted by the rules of the SEC) on or before the Subsequent Filing Deadline Date for such Notice and Questionnaire so as to enable such Holder to sell or otherwise transfer such Holder’s Registrable Securities identified in such Notice and Questionnaire pursuant to the applicable Resale Registration Statement and the related prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein; and (ii) in the case of a post-effective amendment or a new Resale Registration Statement, cause the same to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that no such filing will be required outside the Resale Registration Statement Effectiveness Period. For these purposes, “Subsequent Filing Deadline Date” has the following meaning:

(i) if such Notice and Questionnaire is so delivered to the Company during a Special Subsequent Filing Deadline Period, then the Subsequent Filing Deadline Date for such Notice and Questionnaire will be the fifth (5th) Business Day after the last day of such Special Subsequent Filing Deadline Period; and

- 6 -

(ii) in all other cases, the Subsequent Filing Deadline Date for such Notice and Questionnaire will be the fifth (5th) Business Day of: (1) if such Notice and Questionnaire is so delivered on or before the twentieth (20th) calendar day of any calendar month, the calendar month following the calendar month of such delivery; or (2) if such Notice and Questionnaire is so delivered after the twentieth (20th) calendar day of any calendar month, the second (2nd) calendar month following the calendar month of such delivery; provided, however, that (x) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, such filing(s) must consist of, or include, a new Resale Registration Statement, then the Subsequent Filing Deadline Date for such Notice and Questionnaire will be the ninetieth (90th) calendar day after the date on which such Notice and Questionnaire is so delivered (or, if later, the date that is six (6) months after the last date, if any, on which the Company previously filed a new Resale Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement); provided further, that if the Company (whether directly or indirectly through one or more of its subsidiaries) has completed a Significant Acquisition and has not filed the financial statements required by Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act for such Significant Acquisition with the SEC by the Subsequent Filing Deadline Date referred to above in this clause (x), then such Subsequent Filing Deadline Date will instead be the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the date such financial statements are first filed (or, if earlier, are required to be filed) with the SEC; and (y) in all cases, if such Notice and Questionnaire is so delivered during a Blackout Period, then the Subsequent Filing Deadline Date will be determined assuming that such delivery were instead made on the first calendar day after the termination of such Blackout Period.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in a Resale Registration Statement or related prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(c) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the effective date of such Resale Registration Statement) shall be named as a selling securityholder in such Resale Registration Statement or related prospectus in accordance with the requirements of this Section 3(c).

(d) Filing of New Resale Registration Statement; Designation of Existing Registration Statement. To the extent the Company deems doing so to be desirable or necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement or to comply with applicable law (including, if applicable, to comply with Rule 415(a)(5)), the Company may file one or more new Resale Registration Statements or designate an existing registration statement to constitute a Resale Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement, provided that each such new Resale Registration Statement or existing registration statement satisfies the requirements of this Agreement. Each reference in this Agreement to the Resale Registration Statement will, if applicable, be deemed to include each such new Resale Registration Statement or existing registration statement, if any, mutatis mutandis. In addition, the first date any such existing registration statement is amended or supplemented to permit the offer and resale of Registrable Securities in the manner contemplated by this Agreement will be deemed, for purposes of Section 5(e) and any related definitions, to be the initial filing date of such existing registration statement, and the first date such amended or supplemented existing registration statement is effective under the Securities Act and permits such offers and resales will be deemed, for purposes of Sections 3(b)(ii), 3(c) and 5(e) and any related definitions, to be the initial effective date of such existing registration statement.

(e) Where SEC Rules Do Not Require Naming Selling Securityholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, if the applicable rules under the Securities Act, or interpretations thereof published by the staff of the SEC, are amended so as to permit Holders to resell their Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement without being named as a selling securityholder therein or in any related prospectus or prospectus supplement, then the Company may, at its election, amend any applicable Resale Registration Statement to identify the Holders generically in accordance with such rules and interpretations, in which event the Company will no longer have any obligation thereafter make any filings pursuant to Section 3(c) to the extent such filings are not necessary to permit any Holder to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement.

- 7 -

Section 4. BLACKOUT PERIODS.

(a) Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 4(b), if there occurs or exists any pending corporate development, filing with the SEC or any other event, in each case that, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Resale Registration Statement, then:

(i) the Company will send notice (a “Blackout Commencement Notice”) to each Notice Holder of such suspension (without setting forth any material non-public information);

(ii) the Company’s obligations under Section 3 or otherwise with respect to the Resale Registration Statement, including and any related obligations of the Company under Section 5, will be suspended until the related Blackout Period has terminated;

(iii) upon its receipt of such Blackout Commencement Notice, each Holder agrees to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 8(c);

(iv) upon the Company’s determination that such suspension is no longer needed or appropriate, the Company will send notice (a “Blackout Termination Notice” and, the period from, and including, the date the Company sends such Blackout Commencement Notice to, and including, the date the Company sends such Blackout Termination Notice, a “Blackout Period”) to each Notice Holder of the termination of such suspension (without setting forth any material non-public information).

(b) Limitation on Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a), but subject to the next sentence, all Blackout Periods, together, will in no event exceed an aggregate of (i) forty five (45) calendar days (whether or not consecutive) in any ninety (90) consecutive calendar day period; or (ii) ninety (90) calendar days (whether or not consecutive) in any three hundred and sixty (360) consecutive calendar day period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, if, and to the extent that, the Company determines in good faith that the termination of a Blackout Period would require public disclosure relating to a proposed or pending material business transaction, and such disclosure would be reasonably likely to impede the consummation of such transaction or would otherwise be materially detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, then the Company will have the right to extend the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence to an aggregate of (i) up to sixty (60) calendar days (whether or not consecutive) in any ninety (90) consecutive calendar day period; or (ii) up to one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days (whether or not consecutive) in any three hundred and sixty (360) consecutive calendar day period (any extension of any Blackout Period pursuant to this sentence, a “Permitted Blackout Period Extension”).

Section 5. CERTAIN REGISTRATION AND RELATED PROCEDURES.

(a) Compliance with Registration Obligations and Securities Act; SEC Staff Comments. Subject to Section 4, the Company will make such filings with the SEC as may be necessary to comply with its obligations under Section 3 and to cause the Resale Registration Statement to comply with the Securities Act and other applicable law, including, if applicable, the filing of any Resale Registration Statement to comply with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 3-12 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, to amend the Resale Registration Statement to cause the same to be on a form for which the Company and the transactions contemplated thereby are eligible, and to address any comments received from the staff of the SEC. The Company will otherwise comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and other applicable law in the discharge of its obligations under Section 3.

(b) Opportunity for Review. The Company will provide the Designated Holder Counsel (if one is then designated in accordance with the definition of such term) with draft copies of the initial filing of the Resale Registration Statement, each pre-effective and post-effective amendment thereto, and each related prospectus supplement, at least five (5) Business Days before the same is filed with the SEC, and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to give effect to the reasonable comments received by the Company from such Designated Holder Counsel within three (3) Business Days after delivery of such draft copies to the latter; provided, however, that this Section 5(b) will not apply to (i) any prospectus supplement that solely supplements or amends selling securityholder information and is filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act (or any successor rule); or (ii) any report filed by any Issuer pursuant to Section 13(a), 14 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act.

(c) Blue Sky Qualification. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the offer and sale of Registrable Securities in the manner contemplated by the Resale Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of those jurisdictions within the United States as the Notice Holders may reasonably request and to maintain such qualification, once obtained, during the Resale Registration Statement Effectiveness Period, and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Notice Holders in

- 8 -

connection with the same, except, in each case, to the extent such qualification is not required in connection with such offer and sale (including as a result of preemption by federal law pursuant to Section 18 of the Securities Act (or any successor provision)); provided, however, that no Issuer will be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified; (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in suits (other than those arising out of the offer or sale of Registrable Securities or in connection with this Agreement) in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; or (iii) take any action that would subject it to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(d) Prevention and Lifting of Suspension Orders. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance (or, if issued, to obtain the withdrawal as promptly as practicable) of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement under the Securities Act or suspending any qualification referred to in Section 5(c).

(e) Notices of Certain Events. The Company will provide notice of the following events to each Notice Holder as soon as reasonably practicable:

(i) the receipt, by the Company, of any request by the staff of the SEC for any amendment or supplement to the Resale Registration Statement or any related prospectus or prospectus supplement;

(ii) the issuance, by the SEC or any other governmental authority, of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or the receipt, by the Company, of any written notice that proceedings for such purpose have been initiated;

(iii) the receipt, by the Company, of any written notice (x) of the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction; or (y) that proceedings for such purpose have been initiated;

(iv) the withdrawal or lifting of any suspension referred to in clause (ii) or (iii) above; and

(v) that the Company has determined that the use of the Resale Registration Statement must be suspended (which notice may, at the Company’s discretion, state that it constitutes a Blackout Commencement Notice), including as a result of the occurrence of any event that causes any of the Resale Registration Statement to have a Material Disclosure Defect or to cease to comply with applicable law; provided, however, that (x) the Company need not provide any such notice during a Blackout Period; and (y) in no event will this Section 5(e) require the Company to, and in no event will the Company, provide any information that it in good faith determines would constitute material non-public information.

(f) Remediation of Material Disclosure Defects. Subject to Section 4, the Company will, as promptly as reasonably practicable after determining that any Resale Registration Statement contains a Material Disclosure Defect, prepare and file with the SEC (and, if applicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable) such appropriate additional Resale Registration Statement(s) so as to cause the applicable Resale Registration Statement(s) to thereafter not contain any Material Disclosure Defect.

(g) Listing of Registrable Securities. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be listed for trading on each U.S. national securities exchange, if any, on which securities of the same class of the Company are then so listed.

(h) Provision of Copies of the Prospectus. At its expense, the Company will provide, to Notice Holders, such number of copies of the prospectus relating to the Resale Registration Statement or any related prospectus supplement or “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) as such Notice Holders may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company need not provide any document pursuant to this Section 5(h) that is publicly available on the SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or any successor thereto).

- 9 -

(i) Holders Cannot Be Identified as Underwriters Without Consent. The Company will not expressly name or identify any Holder as an “underwriter” in any Resale Registration Statement without such Holder’s prior written consent (including consent provided in a Notice and Questionnaire); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5(i) will require the consent of any Holder in connection with the inclusion in any Resale Registration Statement of customary language, without specifically naming any Holder, that selling securityholders may in certain circumstances be considered to be underwriters under federal securities laws. If, and for so long as, any Notice Holder that is required (either upon the reasonable advice of counsel for the Company or by the staff of the SEC) to be expressly named or identified as an “underwriter” in any Resale Registration Statement does not provide its written consent to being named as such, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company’s failure to include such Notice Holder or its Registrable Securities in any Resale Registration Statement will not constitute a Registration Default Event or a breach of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement or otherwise require the accrual or payment of any Additional Interest.

(j) Earnings Statement. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with its reporting obligations under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in such manner, as contemplated under Rule 158 under the Securities Act, so as to make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering the twelve (12) month period referred to in Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, as it relates to the Resale Registration Statement, in the manner contemplated by, and otherwise in compliance with, such Section 11(a).

(k) Settlement of Transfers and De-Legending. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent (or any other securities custodian for any Registrable Securities) to cooperate in connection with the settlement of any transfer of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement, including through the applicable Depositary. If any such Registrable Securities so transferred are represented by a certificate bearing a Restricted Security Legend, then the Company will, if appropriate, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be reissued in the form of one or more certificates not bearing such a legend.

Section 6. EXPENSES. All Company Registration Expenses will be borne by the Issuers. All fees and expenses that are incurred by any Holder in connection with this Agreement, and that are not Company Registration Expenses, will be borne by such Holder.

Section 7. ACCRUAL OF ADDITIONAL INTEREST DURING REGISTRATION DEFAULT EVENTS.

(a) Generally.

(i) Accrual of Additional Interest During Continuance of Registration Default Event. Subject to Section 7(b), Additional Interest will accrue, as provided in Section 7(c),

(1) on all of the outstanding Initial Notes for each day during the Resale Registration Statement Effectiveness Period on which the Resale Registration Statement is not on file with the SEC, effective under the Securities Act or usable for the resale or other transfer of Registrable Securities in the manner provided by this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) Additional Interest will accrue pursuant to this Section 7(a)(i)(1) only to the extent that the number of days during the Resale Registration Statement Effectiveness Period on which the Resale Registration Statement is so not on file, effective or usable (inclusive of any Blackout Period) exceeds an aggregate of either (x) forty five (45) (or, in the case of a Permitted Blackout Period Extension, sixty (60)) calendar days (whether or not consecutive) in any ninety (90) consecutive calendar day period; or (y) ninety (90) (or, in the case of a Permitted Blackout Period Extension, one hundred and twenty (120)) calendar days (whether or not consecutive) in any three hundred and sixty (360) consecutive calendar day period; and (B) no Additional Interest will accrue pursuant to this Section 7(a)(i)(1) as a result of the Resale Registration Statement becoming unavailable in connection with the filing of a post-effective amendment required pursuant to Section 3(c), but only to the extent such unavailability in respect of such post-effective amendment does not exceed five (5) Business Days; and

(2) on any outstanding Initial Note (and only such Initial Note) as to which the Holder has timely and duly delivered a Notice and Questionnaire:

(A) on or before the Initial Notice and Questionnaire Deadline Date, for each day (other than during a Blackout Period), on or after the first date that the initial Resale Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, on which the Company, through its omission, has failed, and not cured such failure, to cause the Resale Registration Statement to cover any Registrable Securities of such Initial Note (provided such Registrable Securities are properly identified in such Notice and Questionnaire) in such manner as would enable such Holder to sell or otherwise transfer such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement and the related prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein; or

- 10 -

(B) pursuant to Section 3(c) after the Initial Notice and Questionnaire Deadline Date, for each day (other than during a Blackout Period), on or after the date on which the applicable filing is made pursuant to Section 3(c) (or, if applicable, such later date as of which the related new Resale Registration Statement or post-effective amendment becomes effective under the Securities Act), on which the Company, through its omission, has failed, and not cured such failure, to include, in such filing, any Registrable Securities of such Initial Note (provided such Registrable Securities are properly identified in such Notice and Questionnaire) in such manner as would enable such Holder to sell or otherwise transfer such Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Resale Registration Statement and the related prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(b) No Registration Default Events Outside the Resale Registration Statement Effectiveness Period; No Accrual of Additional Interest on Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, (i) no Registration Default Event will occur on any day that is not within the Resale Registration Statement Effectiveness Period; and (ii) no Additional Interest will accrue on any securities other than the Initial Notes (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that no Additional Interest will accrue on any Registrable Security).

(c) Accrual and Payment of Additional Interest. Any Additional Interest that accrues on an Initial Note pursuant to Section 7(a) will accrue and be payable in the manner, and at the rates, and subject to the limitations, set forth in Section 3.04 of the Indenture.

(d) Remedies Not Exclusive. The accrual or payment of Additional Interest is not the exclusive remedy and will not limit, and will be in addition to, any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Holder at law or in equity; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Maturity Premium is paid on a note in connection with a Registration Default Event, then the payment of such Maturity Premium (together, if applicable, with any Additional Interest payable on such note on account of such Registration Default Event) will be the exclusive remedy available to the Holder of such note in respect of such Registration Default Event.

Section 8. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THE HOLDERS.

(a) Provision of Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Holder will be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement until it has executed and delivered a Notice and Questionnaire to the Company. Each Holder represents that the information included in any such Notice and Questionnaire is accurate and complete in all material respects and covenants, during the term of this Agreement, to promptly provide notice to the Company if any such information thereafter ceases to be accurate and complete in all material respects. Each Holder authorizes the Company to assume the accuracy and completeness of all information contained in the most recent Notice and Questionnaire executed and delivered to the Company by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Each Holder will (i) provide, as soon as reasonably practicable, such other information as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) promptly notify the Company upon becoming aware that any information relating to such Holder and included in any Resale Registration Statement contains a Material Disclosure Defect.

(b) Use of Offering Materials. Each Holder agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company, it will not offer or sell any Registrable Securities by means of any written communication other than the latest prospectus or prospectus supplement provided to such Holder by the Company (or on file on SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or any successor thereto)) relating to the Resale Registration Statement, and any related “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) authorized for such use by the Company.

(c) Covenants Relating to Blackout Periods. Each Holder agrees that, upon its receipt of a Blackout Commencement Notice, such Holder will not effect any sale or other transfer of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement, and will not distribute any Resale Registration Statement, until such Holder has received a subsequent Blackout Termination Notice.

- 11 -

Section 9. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

(a) Indemnification by the Issuers. The Issuers, jointly and severally, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder Indemnified Person from and against (and will reimburse such Holder Indemnified Person, as incurred, for) any Losses that, jointly or severally, such Holder Indemnified Person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based on any Material Disclosure Defect or alleged Material Disclosure Defect in any Resale Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Issuer will have any obligation under this Section 9(a) in respect of any Losses insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based on (i) any sale by such Holder Indemnified Person, pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement, of Registrable Securities either (x) during a Blackout Period in breach of such Holder’s covenant set forth in Section 4(a)(iii); or (y) without delivery, if required by the Securities Act, of the most recent related prospectus or prospectus supplement provided to such Holder by the Company pursuant to Section 5(h) (or on file on SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or any successor thereto)), except, in the case of this clause (y), to the extent the same is deemed to have been delivered through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule; or (ii) any Material Disclosure Defect or alleged Material Disclosure Defect included in any Resale Registration Statement in conformity with or in reliance on the Holder Information of any Holder.

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Company Indemnified Person from and against (and will reimburse such Company Indemnified Person, as incurred, for) any Losses that, jointly or severally, such Company Indemnified Person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based on (i) any sale by such Holder, pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement, of Registrable Securities either (x) during a Blackout Period in breach of such Holder’s covenant set forth in Section 4(a)(iii); or (y) without delivery, if required by the Securities Act, of the most recent related prospectus or prospectus supplement provided to such Holder by the Company pursuant to Section 5(h) (or on file on SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or any successor thereto)), except, in the case of this clause (y), to the extent the same is deemed to have been delivered through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule; or (ii) any Material Disclosure Defect or alleged Material Disclosure Defect in any Resale Registration Statement, which Material Disclosure Defect or alleged Material Disclosure Defect is included therein in conformity with the Holder Information of such Holder; provided, however, that in no event will the liability of any Holder pursuant to this Section 9(b) exceed a dollar amount equal to the proceeds received by such Holder (less any related discounts, commissions, transfer taxes, fees or other expenses) from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to the related indemnification obligation under this Section 9(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(b), nothing in this Section 9(b) will impose any obligation on any Initial Purchaser acting in its capacity as such in connection with the offering of the Initial Notes.

(i) Notice of Proceedings. If any claim, action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is made or commenced against any Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity is or may be sought from any Person (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), then such Indemnified Person will promptly notify the such Indemnifying Party in writing of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify such Indemnifying Party will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person or otherwise, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) Defense of Proceedings; Employment of Counsel. Subject to the next sentence, upon its receipt of the notice referred to in Section 9(c)(i) in respect of a Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and payment of all fees and expenses. Such Indemnified Person will also have the right to employ its own counsel in such Proceeding at such Indemnified Person’s expense; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party will be responsible for, and pay as incurred, the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel if (1) such Indemnifying Party authorized, in writing, the employment of such counsel in connection with the defense of such Proceeding; (2) such Indemnifying Party fails, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the notice referred to in Section 9(c)(i), to employ counsel to defend such Proceeding; or (3) such Indemnified Person reasonably concludes that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from, in addition to, or in conflict with, those available to such Indemnifying Party (in which case of this clause (3), such Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Person). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(c)(ii), in no event will any Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the Indemnified Person(s) who are parties to such Proceeding.

- 12 -

(iii) Settlements of Proceedings. An Indemnifying Party will not be liable pursuant to Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), as applicable, or this Section 9(c) for any settlement of any Proceeding except as provided in the next sentence. If any Proceeding is settled, then the Indemnifying Party will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person that is subject to such settlement from and against any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of such settlement, if:

(1) such Indemnifying Party effected, or otherwise provided its written consent to, such settlement (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); or

(2) (A) such Indemnified Person has requested such Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for any fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 9(c)(ii); (B) such settlement is entered into more than sixty (60) Business Days after such Indemnifying Party has received such request; (C) such Indemnifying Party has not fully reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request before the date of such settlement; and (D) such Indemnified Person has given such Indemnifying Party at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of its intention to settle.

The Indemnifying Party will not effect any settlement of any Proceeding without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person(s) (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such settlement (1) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person(s) from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding; and (2) does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person(s).

(d) Contribution Where Indemnification Not Available. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to any Indemnified Person, or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless, in respect of any Losses referred to in the preceding provisions of this Section 9, then each applicable Indemnifying Party, severally and not jointly, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and of the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions, or the actions or non-actions, as applicable, that resulted in such Losses, as well as other relevant equitable considerations. The benefits to the Issuers, on the one hand, will be deemed to be equal to the proceeds (after deducting offering expenses) from the issuance and sale of the Initial Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the benefits received by any Holder, on the other hand, will be deemed to be the value of having the offer and sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement. The relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and of the Holders, on the other hand, will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any applicable Material Disclosure Defect or alleged Material Disclosure Defect, or any relevant action or non-action, as applicable, relates to information supplied, or was taken or made, as applicable, by the Issuers or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Material Disclosure Defect or alleged Material Disclosure Defect, or such action or non-action, as applicable. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of any Losses referred to in this Section 9(d) will include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending the related Proceeding.

The Issuers and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one Person, or the Issuers were treated as one Person, for such purpose) or by any other allocation method that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds received by such Holder (less any related discounts, commissions, transfer taxes, fees or other expenses) from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Resale Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any

- 13 -

damage that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the relevant Material Disclosure Defect or alleged Material Disclosure Defect, or the relevant action or non-action, as applicable. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9(d) are several and not joint.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(d), nothing in this Section 9(d) will impose any obligation on any Initial Purchaser acting in its capacity as such in connection with the offering of the Initial Notes.

(e) Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and will not limit, and will be in addition to, any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

Section 10. SUBSEQUENT HOLDERS. Each Person that acquires any Registrable Securities from any Holder will, to the extent such securities continue to constitute Registrable Securities in the hands of such Person, become a Holder until such time as such person thereafter ceases to satisfy the definition of such term.

Section 11. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Notices. The Issuers will send all notices or communications to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement either (a) in writing by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to such Holder’s address as set forth in the latest Notice and Questionnaire of such Notice Holder delivered to the Company (or, if such Holder has not delivered any Notice and Questionnaire, as set forth in the Company’s registrar); or (b) by email to the email address specified in such Notice and Questionnaire (which email will be deemed to constitute notice in writing for purposes of this Agreement).

Any notice or communication by any Holder to any Issuer will be deemed to have been duly given if in writing by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to offices of the Company at the following address (or at such other address as may be hereafter specified by notice to the Holders by the Company):

Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to the address of the relevant party set forth in Section 11(a) will be effective service of process for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each of the Issuers, each Initial Purchaser and each Holder (by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, a joinder to this Agreement or a Notice and Questionnaire) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
