4. Agreements. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors agree with the several Purchasers that:
(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Issuer will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus) to the Base Prospectus unless the Issuer has furnished to the Purchasers and/or their legal advisors a copy for their review a reasonable amount of time prior to filing or will file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Purchasers reasonably object on a timely basis (other than filings of documents pursuant to Section 13(a), 14 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act). Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Issuer will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed.

The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) If there occurs an event or development as a result of which the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Issuer will promptly notify the Purchasers so that any use of the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented and will promptly prepare, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement.
(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Issuer will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment, supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.
(d) As soon as practicable, the Issuer will make generally available to its securityholders and to the Purchasers an earnings statement or statements of the Issuer and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158.
4

(h) The Issuer shall be liable to pay to and reimburse the Purchasers the amount of all stamp, transfer, issue, registration, documentary and other similar Taxes (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes imposed on the net income of any Purchasers) which may be payable upon or in connection with the creation, issue, offering and sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, and the execution and delivery of, this Agreement and the Issuer shall agree to indemnify the Purchasers against any claim, demand, action, liability, damages, cost, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket legal and other advisory fees (and any nonrefundable or non-creditable value added tax thereon)) which the Purchasers may incur as a result of or arising out of or in relation to any failure of the Issuer to pay or delay of the Issuer in paying any of the same.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments made by the Issuer under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction unless such withholding or deduction is required by applicable law (including by virtue of the relevant Purchaser failing to satisfy any certification or other requirements in respect of the Notes to avoid such withholding or deduction). If the Issuer determines any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required in respect of payments made by the Issuer under this Agreement, the Issuer shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and shall have no obligation to gross up any payment hereunder or pay any additional amount as a result of such Tax.
(j) The Issuer and each Purchaser agrees, except to the extent the Issuer determines in good faith that such position is not supportable at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of confidence, to treat (i) the Backstop Premiums as a payment of put premium and (ii) the Commitment Premiums as either creating “market discount” within the meaning of Section 1278 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, as applicable, depending on the issue price of the Notes, and shall file no U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax return inconsistent with the foregoing unless otherwise required by a change in applicable law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(j), the Issuer and each Purchaser agrees that, as of the date hereof, no deduction or withholding of Tax is required by law with respect to the payment of the Backstop Premiums or the Commitment Premiums under this Agreement (it being understood that any withholding or deduction arising in respect of payments on any Notes (or the accrual of interest in respect thereof) shall be governed by the terms of the Indenture).
5
(k) Except as otherwise permitted by Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Issuer, the Guarantors nor any of their respective controlled affiliates will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or which has constituted or which would reasonably be expected to cause or result, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes.
(l) The Issuer agrees to comply with all terms and conditions of all agreements set forth in the representation letter of the Issuer to DTC relating to the approval of the Securities by DTC for “book-entry” transfer.

6
(c) No Untrue Statement of a Material Fact. The Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, as of the Closing Date, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in, or omissions from, the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus based upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Issuer on behalf of any Purchaser specifically for use therein.
(d) Status as a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer.

(e) Not an Ineligible Issuer. (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Issuer or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of the Rule 164(h)(2)) of the Securities and (ii) as of the Closing Date (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Issuer will not be an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405), without taking into account any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Issuer be considered an Ineligible Issuer.
(f) Financial Statements. The financial statements and the related notes thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations and the changes in their cash flows for the periods specified; such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby, and the supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus present fairly in all material respects the information required to be stated therein; and the other financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus has been compiled on a basis consistent in all material respects with that of the financial statements and presents fairly in all material respects the information shown thereby.
