The Issuers shall commence the Exchange Offers promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Exchange Offers consummated not later than 60 days after such effective date. The Issuers shall commence the Exchange Offer by sending the related exchange offer Prospectus and accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law:

5

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

(1) accept for exchange Registrable Securities of the applicable series or portions thereof tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the applicable Exchange Offer; and

(2) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities of the applicable series or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by such Issuer and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder, an Exchange Security of the applicable series equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities of such series surrendered by such Holder; provided that if any of the Registrable Securities are in book-entry form, such Issuer shall, in co- operation with the Trustee, effect the exchange of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable book-entry procedures.

The Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offers as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offers. The Exchange Offers shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that each Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the Staff of the SEC. The Issuers shall inform the Initial Purchasers of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offers are made, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable Securities in the Exchange Offers.

Each Holder that participates in the Exchange Offers, as a condition to participation in the Exchange Offers, will be required to represent to the applicable Issuer in writing (which may be contained in the applicable letter of transmittal) that at the time of consummation of the

6

applicable Exchange Offer: (i) any Exchange Securities received in exchange for Registrable Securities tendered are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the Person receiving such Exchange Securities; (ii) such Holder has no arrangements or understandings with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) of the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the 1933 Act; (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act) of either Issuer; (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Securities; and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer, such Holder will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will comply with the applicable provisions of the 1933 Act (including, but not limited to, the prospectus delivery requirements thereunder).

(b)    In the event that (i) the Issuers determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be consummated as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate applicable law or the applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) the Exchange Offers are not for any other reason consummated on or prior to the 365th day following the Closing Date (or if such 365th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) or (iii) any Holder of Registrable Securities notifies the applicable Issuer that (A) it is prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the applicable Exchange Offer, (B) it may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the applicable Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales, or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Securities acquired directly from such Issuer or an affiliate of such Issuer, then the Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or notice is given to the applicable Issuer, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities and to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC promptly. In the event the Issuers are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement solely as a result of the matters referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file and have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) 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 after completion of the Exchange Offers. The Issuers agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until two years from the Closing Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Issuers further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement and any Free Writing Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Issuers for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the 1933 Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement or Free Writing Prospectus to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Issuers agree to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC; provided that the Issuers shall be deemed to have furnished such amendment or supplement if they shall have timely made such amendment or supplement available on “EDGAR.”

7

(c)    The Issuers shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b). Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any other expenses incurred by it that are not Registration Expenses.

(d)    An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or 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 become effective automatically upon filing; provided, however, that, if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities of a series pursuant to 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 be deemed not to have been effective with respect to such series during the period of such interference until the offering of Registrable Securities of such series pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume. In the event (1) either or both Exchange Offers are not consummated on or prior to the 365th day following the Closing Date, (2) the Shelf Registration Statement, if required pursuant to Section 2(b), is not declared effective on or prior to the 365th day following the Closing Date, or (3) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, it becomes effective and thereafter ceases to be effective or usable (x) at any time during the Shelf Registration Period and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 30 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12- month period or (y) on more than two occasions in any 12-month period during the Shelf Registration Period (each such event referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (3), a “Registration Default”), then with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities of each series to which such Registration Default relates will be increased by 0.25% per annum and will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of Registrable Securities of each such series with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to maximum amount of additional interest of 1.00% per annum (“Additional Interest”). Additional Interest, if any, will be paid by the applicable Issuer (or the Company pursuant to the Guarantee, if applicable) on each interest payment date to Holders of such series of Registrable Securities in the same manner as payments of interest on the Securities of the applicable series. A Registration Default ends when the Securities of the applicable series cease to be Registrable Securities or, if earlier, (i) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (1) of the definition thereof, when the applicable Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (2) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective or (iii) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (3) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes effective and usable. If at any time more than one Registration Default with respect to a series of Registrable Securities has occurred and is continuing, then, until the next date that there is no Registration Default with respect to such series, the increase in interest rate provided for by this paragraph shall apply as if there occurred a single Registration Default that begins on the date that the earliest such Registration Default with respect to such series occurred and ends on such next date on which there is no Registration Default with respect to the applicable series.

8

Additional Interest will accrue from and including the date of a Registration Default to, but excluding, the date on which the Registration Default has been cured in accordance with this Section 2(d).

(e)    Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Issuers acknowledge that any failure by the Issuers to comply with their respective obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuers’ respective obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

3.    Registration Procedures.

(a)    In connection with the respective obligations of the Issuers with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Issuers shall:

9

10

11

12

(b)    In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuers may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Issuers such information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Issuers may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

(c)    In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuers of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(v)(E) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(ix) hereof, and, if so directed by the applicable Issuer, such Holder will deliver to such Issuer (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 current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the applicable Issuer shall give any notice in accordance with this Agreement to suspend the disposition of Registrable

13

Securities of the applicable series pursuant to a Registration Statement, such Issuer shall extend the period during which the 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 shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. Each of the Issuers may give any such notice only upon reasonable determination that such suspension is appropriate in light of the event giving rise to such suspension and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file such amendments or supplements or take other steps necessary to resume dispositions as soon as reasonably practicable, in such Issuer’s determination.

(d) 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 banker or investment bankers and manager or managers (the “Underwriters”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such offering and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuers.

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

4.    Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer.

(a)    The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the 1933 Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.

The Issuers understand 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 to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the 1933 Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the 1933 Act.

(b)    In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, each of the Issuers agrees to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(c)), if requested by one or more

14

Participating Broker-Dealer, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above. Each of the Issuers further agrees that Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4.

(c)    The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Issuers or any Holder with respect to any request that they may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above.

5.    Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)    Each of the Issuers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers and Holders, their affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or is under common control with, or is controlled by, any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the foregoing indemnified persons in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of, or are based on, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or that arise out of, or are based on, 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 that arise out of, or are based on, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if any of the Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or that arise out of, or are based on, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based on, any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon and in conformity with information relating to any Initial Purchaser or any Holder furnished to any Issuer in writing through the Representatives or any selling Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, each of the Issuers will also, jointly and severally, indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement.

(b)    Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuers, the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers who sign the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, but only to the extent such losses, claims, damages and liabilities arise out of, or are

15

based on, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Issuers in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c)    In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, such Person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing (provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5); and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (who shall not, without the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (iii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, or (iv) the indemnified party 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 party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (a) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Initial Purchasers and all Persons, if any, who control any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, (b) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Issuers and their respective directors and officers who sign the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers within the meaning of either such Section and (c) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Holders and all Persons, if any, who control any Holder within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In such case involving the Initial Purchasers and Persons who control the Initial Purchasers, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives. In such case involving the Holders and such Persons who control Holders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders. In all other cases, such firm shall be designated by the Issuers. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party in form and

16

substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified person; provided that if any such proceeding or threatened proceeding is settled with such written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified person for fees and disbursements of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(d)    If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party 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 Issuers 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 1933 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 Issuers on the one hand and of the Holders on the other hand 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 Issuers, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers, on the one hand, or by the Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Holders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Registrable Securities of such Holder that were registered pursuant to a Registration Statement.

(e)    Each of the Issuers, on the one hand, and each Holder, on the other hand, agree that it would not be just or 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 party 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 party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which Registrable Securities were sold by such Holder

17

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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

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 of their affiliates, any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of any of the Issuers or their respective officers or directors or any Person controlling any of the Issuers, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

6.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Issuers represents and agrees that (i) it has not entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof; and (ii) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not and will not in any way conflict with and are and will not be inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any of the Issuers’ other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

(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 (voting as a single class) affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder.

(c)    Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, electronic mail 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; and (ii) if to the Issuers, 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).

18

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 answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied or 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. 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 of 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 any of the Issuers 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)    Purchases and Sales of Securities. None of the Issuers shall, and each shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) not to, purchase and then resell or otherwise transfer any Securities.

(f)    Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuers, 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 they deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect their rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

(g)    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.

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

(i)    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. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the

19

exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address as provided above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Specified Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The 2029 Notes Issuer irrevocably appoints Corporation Service Company at 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 210, New York, New York 10036-8401 as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any Related Proceeding that may be instituted in any Specified Court.

(j)    Waiver of Immunity. With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts or any court of Australia or any political subdivision thereof, and with respect to any judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding, each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts, any court of Australia or any political subdivision thereof or any other court of competent jurisdiction, as applicable, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or Related Judgment, including any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended.

(k)    Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than U.S. dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Initial Purchasers could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Issuers in respect of any sum due from them to any Initial Purchaser shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by such Initial Purchaser of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Initial Purchaser may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder, each of the Issuers agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Initial Purchaser against such loss. If the U.S. dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due any Initial Purchaser or Holder hereunder, such Initial Purchaser or Holder agrees to pay to the Issuers (but without duplication) an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder.

20

(l)    Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions 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 not be affected or impaired thereby.
