The Company and its subsidiaries own or possess sufficient trademarks, trade names, patent rights, copyrights, licenses, approvals, trade secrets and other similar rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted; and the expected expiration of any of such Intellectual Property Rights would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others, which infringement or conflict, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

(u) All Necessary Permits, etc. The Company and each subsidiary possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess or make the same would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; and neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or noncompliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

The Company has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in accordance with GAAP in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1(n) and (o) hereof in respect of all federal, state and foreign income and franchise taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has not been finally determined.

The Company has no reason to believe that it or any subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither of the Company nor any subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(aa) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation. None of the Company or any of the Guarantors has taken and or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(ee) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Neither the Company nor any Guarantor nor any of their respective subsidiaries nor any agent thereof acting on their behalf has taken, and none of them will take, any action that might cause this Agreement or the issuance or sale of the Securities to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(hh) Periodic Review of Costs of Environmental Compliance. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review and the amount of its established reserves, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

The Company and its subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended, “ERISA,” which term, as used herein, includes the regulations and published interpretations thereunder) established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or their ERISA Affiliates (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA and, to the knowledge of the Company, each “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) to which the Company, its subsidiaries or an ERISA Affiliate contributes (a “Multiemployer Plan”) is in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or a subsidiary, any member of any group of organizations described in Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code,” which term, as used herein, includes the regulations and published interpretations thereunder) of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No “single employer plan” (as defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(a) It has the power to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party and it has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance; such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other

-24-

agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets; all governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with. This Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

(b) Such Purchaser has reviewed the Disclosure Package. It understands and acknowledges that, as the offer and sale of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement is a private placement of securities, it is responsible for conducting its own due diligence in connection with its purchase of the Securities. It acknowledges that (a) it has conducted its own investigation of the Company, the Guarantors and their subsidiaries and the terms of the Securities, (b) it has had the opportunity to ask and has asked any queries regarding an acquisition of the Securities, the Company and the Guarantors and their subsidiaries and their affairs, and the terms of the Securities, and has received satisfactory answers from representatives of the Company or the Guarantors, and has had access to such financial information and other information concerning the Company, the Guarantors and the Securities as it has deemed necessary and relevant to make an informed investment decision on its behalf and on behalf of each account for which it is acting (if any), and (c) it has made its own assessment concerning the relevant tax, legal, economic and other considerations relevant to its investment in the Securities, and has not relied on the advice of, or any representations by, any third party (other than such Purchaser’s own advisors) in making such investment decision.

(c) It and each account for which it is acting (if any) is either (A) both an “Accredited Investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A purchasing the Securities in reliance upon a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, or (B) a non-“U.S. Person” purchasing the Offered Securities in an offshore transaction in accordance with (and as defined in) Regulation S, and in the case of clause (B), if such Purchaser is purchasing any Securities (i) on its own behalf, such Purchaser (x) has its principal address outside the United States and (y) was located outside the United States at the time any offer to buy the Securities was made to such Purchaser and at the time that this Agreement is executed by such Purchaser, and/or (ii) solely on behalf of other persons, entities or accounts (each, a “non-U.S. Account”), each such non-U.S. Account is also a non-“U.S. Person” and was located outside the United States at the time any offer to buy Securities was made and at the time this Agreement is executed by such Purchaser. It is an institution which (a) is a sophisticated institutional investor, (b) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and expertise in assessing credit risk that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investments in the Securities (and has sought such accounting, legal, tax and other advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision), and (c) it, and each account for which it is acting (if any) is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase of the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk, and sustain a complete loss, of such investment in the Securities.

-25-

(d) Such Purchaser acknowledges that no representations, express or implied, are being made with respect to the Company, the Guarantors, the Securities or otherwise, other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. In making its decision to purchase the Securities, such Purchaser has relied upon the information and representations in this Agreement and the Disclosure Package.

(e) It understands (and each beneficial owner of the Securities for which it is acting (if any) has been advised and understands) that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, that any offer and sale of the Securities to it is being made in reliance on an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States. It represents and warrants that its purchase of the Securities is lawful under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and the jurisdiction in which it operates (if different), and that such acquisition will not contravene any law, regulation or regulatory policy applicable to it. Such Purchaser further understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is relying on the representations and warranties of such Purchaser in this Section 8 and it agrees to notify any subsequent purchaser of the Securities from it of the resale restrictions referred to herein, as applicable. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities shall bear legends upon issuance and as and when required by the Indenture, and that the Securities shall be issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(f) It is acquiring the Securities for its own account, or for one or more accounts (and as to each of which it has authority to acquire the Securities and exercise sole investment discretion), for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, in the United States in violation of the Securities Act. Neither it nor any account for which it is acting (if any) was formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

SECTION 9 Indemnification.

(a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify each Purchaser and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the entry into this Agreement, purchasing the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, the acceptance or holding of the Securities or the exercise of its rights under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements and/or the other the Security Documents, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of enforcing the Indenture, this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements and/or the other the Security Documents against the Company and the Guarantors and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any holder of the Existing Senior Notes, any other holder of the Securities or any other Person) or liability in connection with any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of

-26-

counsel to the Purchasers (together with local counsel (in each jurisdiction)), including the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, as counsel to the Purchasers), except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense is the result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (including the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a party’s Related Parties). Any Purchaser will notify the Company promptly of any claim of which it or a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure of any Purchaser to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder.

(b) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will reimburse each Purchaser for all costs or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the entry into this Agreement, purchasing the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, the acceptance or holding of the Securities or the exercise of its rights under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements and/or the other the Security Documents, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of amending, or enforcing against the Company and/or the Guarantors, the Indenture, this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements and/or the other the Security Documents, any post-closing obligations, including with respect to mortgages and related matters, any “workout” or restructuring and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any holder of the Existing Senior Notes, any other holder of the Securities or any other Person) or liability in connection with any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of counsel to the Purchasers (together with local counsel (in each jurisdiction)), including the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, as counsel to the Purchasers), except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense is the result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (including the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a party’s Related Parties). Any Purchaser will notify the Company promptly of any claim of which it or a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure of any Purchaser to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing or this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no indemnifying party shall be liable under this Section 9 for any loss, claim, damage or liability by reason of any settlement or final judgment for the plaintiff in respect of any matter for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 9 and (ii) the aggregate amount for which the indemnifying parties shall be liable under this Section 9 and under Section 10.03 of that certain Exchange, Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, the Guarantors and certain affiliates of the Purchasers, shall in no event exceed $400,000.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else herein or in the Indenture, any Security Document or any other related document to contrary, the rights and obligations under this Section 9 shall survive each Closing Date and any termination of this Agreement.

-27-

SECTION 10 Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by the Majority Purchasers by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) a Material Adverse Change shall have occurred or (ii) any Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that, the Majority Purchasers shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (ii) if at such time (x) other than as a result of such Event of Default, the conditions to the Purchasers’ obligation to purchase and pay for Securities under this Agreement are then satisfied (or capable of being satisfied), (y) such Event of Default is capable of being cured through the application of the proceeds of such purchase and sale of Securities in accordance with this Agreement (including through the repayment or redemption in full of any outstanding Existing Senior Notes) and (z) the Company notifies the Purchasers in writing that it intends to submit a Draw Notice under this Agreement and reasonably promptly submits such a Draw Notice. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) June 1, 2024, (ii) the date on which the Company or any Guarantor shall default in complying with any provision of this Agreement in any material respect, including, without limitation, Section 2(e)(iii), if such default continues for five (5) days from the date any Purchaser provides written notice (including by email) of such default to the Company, (iii) the date on which there are no Existing Notes that remain outstanding and (iv) the date on which any of the Notes are called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.7(d) of the Indenture. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by notice to the Purchasers. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (i) the Company or any Guarantor to any Purchaser, except that the Company and the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of and indemnify the Purchasers pursuant to Section 4 and 9 hereof, (ii) any Purchaser to the Company, or (iii) any Purchaser to any other Purchaser.

SECTION 11 Representations to Survive Delivery. The respective agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers and the several Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company, any Guarantor or any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

-31-

(including attorneys’ fees), debts, suits, obligations, liabilities, cross-claims, interests, suits, controversies, actions and causes of action (collectively, the “Losses”) of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether individually or collectively, arising on or prior to the date hereof, whether arising at law or in equity, known or unknown, direct or indirect, actual or potential, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted and including any rights to indemnity or contribution (collectively, “Claims”), the Company or any Guarantor or any of their respective Related Parties may have or claim to have against any of the Purchaser Party Releasees, on the one hand, or the Purchasers or any of their respective Related Parties may have or claim to have against any of Company Party Releases, on the other hand, in each case, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act or omission, error, negligence, breach of contract, tort, violation of law, matter or cause whatsoever arising from or relating to the Existing Senior Notes or the Existing Senior Notes Indenture, this Agreement, the Notes and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. “Related Parties” means, with respect to any person, each of its affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, legal counsel (including local, foreign and in-house counsel), auditors, accountants, consultants, investment bankers, appraisers, engineers or other advisors, agents, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons.

Civ. Code §1542 (any such law, principle, statute, rule or regulation, a “Comparable Statute”), which provides:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

(c) Each Releasor hereby expressly elects to assume all risks for claims that exist, existed or may hereafter exist in its favor, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or related to claims or other matters purported to be released pursuant to this Section 22. Each Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement and that, without such waiver, the other parties would not have agreed to the terms of this Agreement. Each Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its

-32-

Related Parties, hereby represents to the other parties hereto that it understands and acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts and legal theories concerning such other parties or the subject matter hereof in addition to or different from those which it now believes to be true. Such Releasor understands and hereby agrees that the release set forth in this Section 22 shall remain effective in all respects notwithstanding those additional or different facts and legal theories or the discovery of those additional or different facts or legal theories. Such Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, assumes the risk of any mistake of fact or applicable law with regard to any potential claim or with regard to any of the facts that are now unknown to it relating thereto.

ANNEX I

Resale Pursuant to Regulation S or Rule 144A. Each Purchaser understands that:

Such Purchaser agrees that it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell the Securities in the United States or to, or for the benefit or account of, a U.S. Person (other than a distributor), in each case, as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S (i) as part of its distribution at any time and (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Securities pursuant hereto and the Closing Date, other than in accordance with Regulation S or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser agrees that, during such 40-day restricted period, it will not cause any advertisement with respect to the Securities (including any “tombstone” advertisement) to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and will not issue any circular relating to the Securities, except such advertisements as are permitted by and include the statements required by Regulation S.
