(i) The Issuer has authorized the issuance and sale of up to $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes will be issued pursuant to the Indenture.

(ii) Closing. At the closing of the Placement (the “Closing”), the Issuer shall issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Issuer, the principal amount of the Notes set forth in Schedule III hereto. The Closing shall occur at the office of Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

(iii) Determination of Closing Date. The date and time of the Closing shall be 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 28, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), or such later date and time as is mutually agreed to by the Issuer and the Closing Agent. The Issuer shall not be obligated to sell, and the Purchasers shall not be obligated to buy, any of the Notes unless all the conditions set forth herein shall have been satisfied or waived by the appropriate party.

(iv) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Notes to be purchased by the Purchasers at the Closing (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes so being purchased by the Purchasers, payable in cash or the Issuer’s outstanding 6.50% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Existing Notes”) based on the principal amount thereof. The payment of the Purchase Price shall be made by each Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds at least one business day prior to the Closing Date (a “Cash Payment”) in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof and the instructions provided by the Closing Agent.

(v) Other Purchasers. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Issuer is executing another purchase agreement (the “Other Purchase Agreement”) substantially identical to this Agreement with the other buyers listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Other Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Issuer shall issue and sell Notes to such Other Purchasers in the respective amounts set forth in Schedule III thereto for the respective purchase prices set forth therein, which shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes so being purchased by each Other Purchaser. The principal amount of Notes being sold hereby and to the Other Purchasers shall aggregate up to the amount indicated as authorized to be sold pursuant to Section 1(a)(i). The sale of Notes to the Purchasers and the Other Purchasers are to be separate sales, and this Agreement and the Other Purchase Agreement are to be separate agreements. Certain Other Purchasers are affiliates of the Issuer.

(b) Closing Mechanics.

(i) Closing Agent to Contact Purchaser. One business day prior to the Closing, the Closing Agent will contact each Purchaser to confirm that the Closing will take place and to confirm the closing mechanics set forth herein.

(ii) Form of Notes. The Notes will be represented by one or more definitive global securities in book entry form and will be deposited on the Closing Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, by or on behalf of the Issuer, with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and registered in the name of Cede & Co. At least one business day prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer will make available to the Closing Agent for review duly executed certificates representing the Notes in the form contemplated by the Indenture.

(iii) Purchaser to Fund Purchase Price. Before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one business day prior to the Closing Date (or such shorter period to which the Issuer, with the prior consent of the Closing Agent, shall have agreed upon with any Purchaser), each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will deliver its respective portion of the Purchase Price by Cash Payment to an account maintained by the Closing Agent according to the instructions previously delivered by the Closing Agent to each Purchaser. The delivery of funds from the Purchasers to the Closing Agent shall be deemed to constitute irrevocable instructions from the Purchasers to the Closing Agent that the Purchasers’ conditions to the Closing will be deemed to be satisfied upon receipt by the Closing Agent of the Issuer Closing Certificate (as defined below).

(iv) Purchaser to Provide Certain Information. On the date hereof, each Purchaser will provide a duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered original of this Agreement, including the registration information set forth on Schedule III hereto, to the Company and the Closing Agent, and the Closing Agent will promptly provide the Trustee with the information set forth on Schedule III.

(v) Closing Agent Right to Fund for Late Purchaser. In the event that any Purchaser shall fail to deliver all or any portion of the Purchase Price on or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (or such shorter period to which the Issuer, with the prior consent of the Closing Agent, shall have agreed upon with any such Purchaser):

(A) The Closing Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fund the unfunded Purchase Price (or unfunded portion thereof) on behalf of any such Purchaser. The funding of the Purchase Price (or portion thereof) by the Closing Agent pursuant to this Section shall not relieve such Purchaser of any liability or obligation that it may have to the Issuer or the Closing Agent pursuant to this Agreement or for the breach of its obligations under this Agreement. In any such case in which the Closing Agent, in its sole discretion, has elected to fund the Purchase Price (or portion thereof) on behalf of any such Purchaser, if such Purchaser has not fulfilled its obligation to purchase the Notes as set forth herein within two business days of the Closing Date, the Closing Agent shall thereafter be entitled to retain the Notes and, if so requested by the Closing Agent, the Issuer shall transfer registration of such Notes to or as directed by the Closing Agent.

(B) In the event that the Closing Agent shall have funded the unfunded Purchase Price (or portion thereof) on behalf of any such Purchaser under the circumstances set forth in subclause (A) above, such Purchaser shall be obligated to repay the Closing Agent in exchange for the release of the Notes to such Purchaser at the Purchase Price for the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the Closing Date, to the extent applicable.

(vi) Funds Held for Benefit of Issuer and Purchasers. Funds received by the Closing Agent on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to Section 1(b)(iii) (or funded by the Closing Agent in its sole discretion pursuant to Section 1(b)(v) above) will be held for the benefit of the Issuer and the Purchasers (in a non-interest bearing account) and not as property of the Closing Agent. On the Closing Date, the Closing Agent shall disburse such funds to the Issuer by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions previously delivered in writing to the Closing Agent.

(vii) Release of Purchase Price Funds; Delivery of Notes. On the Closing Date:

(A) upon receipt by the Closing Agent of a certificate, which shall be delivered following the Issuer’s determination that the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof have been fulfilled, executed by the chief executive officer and the principal accounting officer of the Issuer (the “Issuer Closing Certificate”) certifying that the conditions to the Purchasers’ obligations to close as set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied and in consideration for the sale of the Notes to the Purchasers, the Closing Agent will release the Purchase Price to the Issuer by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions previously delivered in writing to the Closing Agent by the Issuer; and

(B) in consideration for the receipt of the Purchase Price, the Issuer shall deliver the Notes to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s DTC Participant (as specified by each Purchaser in Schedule III) with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system. Each Purchaser agrees to instruct and cause its DTC Participant to initiate a DTC “DWAC deposit” no later than 8:00 a.m. on the Closing Date. The “DWAC deposit” shall include the CUSIP number and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes purchased.

PURCHASER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows, as to itself only and not to the other Purchasers:

(a) No Public Sale or Distribution. The Purchaser is acquiring the Notes for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in a manner that would violate the Securities Act or the “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Notes for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Notes at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act and subject to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture. The Purchaser is acquiring the Notes hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Purchaser does not intend, and does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person, to distribute any of the Notes. As used in this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.

(b) Purchaser Status. The Purchaser is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer and is qualified to purchase the Notes because it is one of the following:

(i) a person or an institution that qualifies as an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act;

(ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIB”); or

(iii) a non-“U.S. person” (as defined under Regulation S) that is purchasing the Notes in an “offshore transaction” (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with Regulation S and with laws applicable to such persons in jurisdictions outside of the United States.

(i) an “institutional account,” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c);

(ii) a “qualified purchaser,” as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”);

(iii) a QIB;

(iv) an “investment company,” as defined in Section 3 of the Investment Company Act;

(v) an entity composed exclusively of QIBs; or

(vi) a “bank,” as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

(d) Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Notes are being offered and sold in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Issuer is relying, and other parties may rely, in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order, among other reasons, to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Notes. If the Purchaser is acquiring the Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, it represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account, and it has full power to make the acknowledgements and agreements set forth herein on behalf of each such account.

(e) No General Solicitation or Directed Selling Efforts. The Purchaser has not engaged, and will not engage, directly or indirectly in any form of “general solicitation” or “general advertising” in connection with the offering of the Notes (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or, with respect to the Notes to be sold in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, in any “directed selling efforts” (as such term is used in Regulation S under the Securities Act). The Purchaser is not purchasing the Notes as a result of any “general solicitation” or “general advertising” (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act).

(f) Placement Agent. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Placement is not being underwritten by the Placement Agent. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Placement Agent (a) has not made, and will not make, any representations and warranties with respect to the Issuer or the Placement (and such Purchaser will not rely on any statements made by the Placement Agent, orally or in writing, to the contrary) and (b) has not conducted the level of due diligence on the Issuer that it would normally conduct in connection with a registered offering or a private placement in which the resale by an initial purchaser to the ultimate investors would be exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Purchaser further acknowledges that:

On March 12, 2014, pursuant to an offer of settlement by Jefferies, the Commission entered an administrative order finding certain supervisory failures associated with Jefferies’ mortgage-backed securities department under Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The administrative order censured Jefferies and required the payment of disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty. Coincident with Jefferies offer of settlement with the Commission, Jefferies also entered into a non-prosecution agreement (“NPA”) with the Justice Department related to the same conduct. Pursuant to the NPA, Jefferies stipulated to certain facts and agreed to pay a monetary penalty, with credit for certain restitution payments and the Commission penalty. Jefferies received waivers from the Commission of any disqualifications under Regulations A, D (Rule 505 and 506), and E arising from the settlement, effective as of March 12, 2014. A more detailed description of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ settlement with the Commission and the relief granted is available at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. The Commission Order is available at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇/▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

(g) Independent Evaluation. The Purchaser confirms and agrees that (i) it has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Notes, (ii) it has not relied on the advice of, or any representations by, the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates (other than the Obligors) or any of their respective representatives in making such decision, (iii) it is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the Issuer or any of its affiliates as investment advice or as a recommendation to purchase the Notes, and (iv) none of the Placement Agent, its affiliates (other than the Obligors) or any of their respective representatives has any responsibility with respect to the completeness or accuracy of any information or materials furnished to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the Public Disclosure. The Purchaser confirms that the Issuer has not given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit of an investment in the Notes or made any representation to the Purchaser regarding the legality of an investment in the Notes by such Purchaser.

(h) Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer has made available to the Purchaser materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Issuer, including, without limitation, the Public Disclosure. The Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to making its decision to purchase the Notes, it has had adequate time to review all such materials. The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Issuer concerning the terms and conditions of an investment in the Issuer. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Notes involves a high degree of risk and the Purchaser represents that it is able to bear the economic risk of such investment, including the complete loss of such investment. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in investment, financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the consequences, merits and risks of its investment in the Notes and has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Notes. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Placement Agent will not be responsible for the ultimate success of any such investment.

(i) No Governmental Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Notes nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes.

(j) Transfer or Resale. The Purchaser understands that: (i) the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws; and (ii) the Purchaser agrees that if it decides to offer, sell or otherwise transfer any of the Notes, such Notes may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred only: (A) to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) pursuant to a registration statement which has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (C) for so long as the Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a Person it reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (D) outside the United States, in accordance with Regulation S and in compliance with applicable local law, (E) to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act that is acquiring the Notes for its own account, or for the account of such an “accredited investor,” for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act or (F) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder or any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within its or their control and in compliance with any other applicable securities laws. The Purchaser acknowledges that pursuant to the terms of the Indenture the Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer pursuant to clause (D), (E) or (F) in the immediately preceding sentence to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or information satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not require an opinion of counsel for a transfer of $250,000 or more in principal amount of the notes pursuant to clause (E) of the immediately preceding sentence. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Trustee will not be required to accept for registration of transfer any Notes acquired by the Purchaser, except upon presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee that the restrictions set forth herein have been complied with. The Purchaser agrees that it will give to each Person to whom it transfers Notes notice of any restrictions on transfer of such Notes. The Purchaser understands that no active trading market currently exists for the Notes, the Issuer does not intend to list the Notes on any national securities exchange and an active market may not develop for the Notes.

(k) Legends. The Purchaser understands that upon the original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes and all certificates or other instruments issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, shall bear the legend(s) set forth in the Indenture, and that the Issuer will make a notation on its records and give instructions to the Trustee in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described herein.

(l) Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

(m) Residency. For purposes of U.S. securities laws, the Purchaser is a resident of the jurisdiction specified with respect to such Purchaser on Schedule III on the date of this Agreement.

(o) Release of Placement Agent. The Purchaser releases the Placement Agent, its employees, officers and affiliates (other than the Obligors) from any liability with respect to the Purchaser’s participation, or proposed participation, in the Placement. This Section 2(o) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The Placement Agent has introduced such Purchaser to the Issuer in reliance on such Purchaser’s understanding and agreement to this Section 2(o).

(j) Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests, as applicable, of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and were not issued in violation of, and are not subject to, any preemptive or similar rights. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Subsidiaries of the Issuer are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer, free and clear of all liens, security interests, mortgages, pledges, charges, equities, claims or restrictions on transferability or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, “Liens”), other than Permitted Liens and any Liens imposed by the Securities Act and the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of certain U.S. state or non-U.S. jurisdictions. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Public Disclosure, pursuant to any benefit or compensation plans established by any of the Obligors in the ordinary course of business, there are no outstanding (A) options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase from the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) agreements, contracts, arrangements or other obligations of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or (C) other rights to convert any obligation into or exchange any securities for, in the case of each of clauses (A) through (C), shares of capital stock of or other ownership or equity interests in the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries.

(k) Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. None of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in violation of its organizational documents, (ii) is in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, note, contract, franchise lease, agreement or other instrument to which any of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of their respective properties or assets is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), or (iii) is in violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to any of the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, except with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this sentence, for such Defaults or violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) No Conflict. The Obligors’ execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which any of them is a party and the consummation of the Transactions, including the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees, (i) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of any of the Obligors, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default or result in a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, any Existing Instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any property of any of the Obligors and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to any of the Obligors, except with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this sentence, for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, Debt Repayment Triggering Events or violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by any of the Obligors.

(m) No Consents. No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing or registration of or with any Governmental Authority or third party is required for execution, delivery or performance by any Obligor of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the Transactions, except (i) those that have been obtained or made, as the case may be, that are in full force and effect and (ii) as may be required under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any U.S. state or non-U.S. jurisdictions or other non-U.S. laws applicable to the purchase of the Notes outside the U.S. in the Transactions.

(n) No Material Applicable Laws or Proceedings. Except as set forth in the Public Disclosure, (i) to the best of the Obligors’ knowledge, no applicable legislation has been enacted, adopted, passed or issued, (ii) no stop order suspending the exemption from qualification of any of the Notes in any jurisdiction has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been commenced or, to the Issuer’s knowledge, contemplated as of the Closing Date and (iii) there is no action, claim, suit, demand, hearing, notice of violation or deficiency, or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Obligors, threatened or contemplated by Governmental Authorities or threatened by others (collectively, “Proceedings”) that, with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (A) would restrain, enjoin, prevent or interfere with the consummation of the Placement or any of the Transactions or (B) would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(o) Intellectual Property Rights. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Public Disclosure, the Obligors own or possess, and as of the Closing Date, will own and possess, sufficient trademarks, service marks, trade names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, domain names, licenses, approvals, trade secrets, inventions, know-how (including unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), licenses and other similar rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted and as to be conducted, except where the failure to own or possess such Intellectual Property Rights would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(p) All Necessary Permits, etc. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Public Disclosure or that are expected to be applied for or obtained the ordinary course of business, each of the Obligors possesses such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits (including, without limitation, with respect to applicable growth ordinances and land development, affordable housing and storm water requirements) issued by the appropriate state, federal or other applicable regulatory agencies or bodies and such valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, data and other technical information, in each case, necessary to conduct their respective businesses, and none of the Obligors has received, or has any reason to believe that it has received or will receive, any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance 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 Effect.

(q) Title to Properties. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Public Disclosure, each of the Obligors has good, marketable and valid title to all real property owned by it and good title to all personal property owned by it and good and valid title to all leasehold estates in real and personal property being leased by it and, as of the Closing Date, will be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. All applicable agreements to which such Obligor is a party or by which any of them is bound are valid and enforceable against each such Obligor or Subsidiary, as applicable, and are valid and enforceable against the other party or parties thereto and are in full force and effect with only such exceptions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(r) Tax Law Compliance. All Tax (as hereinafter defined) returns required to be filed by the Obligors have been filed and all such returns are true, complete and correct in all material respects. All material Taxes that are due from the Obligors have been paid other than those (i) currently payable without penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. To the knowledge of the Issuer, after due inquiry, there are no actual or proposed Tax assessments against an Obligor that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The accruals on the books and records of the Obligors in respect of any material Tax liability for any period not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments of Tax for any such period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tax” and “Taxes” shall mean all U.S. and non-U.S. federal, state, local and taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto.

(s) Accounting System. The Issuer makes and keeps accurate books and records and maintains a system of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences in each case, other than as disclosed in the Public Disclosure or as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Issuer’s independent auditors and Board of Directors have been advised of: (i) all “material weaknesses” and “significant deficiencies” (each, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), if any, in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and (ii) all fraud, if any, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Issuer’s internal controls (whether or not remediated); there are no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies that have not been disclosed in the Public Disclosure in all material respects; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of internal controls, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly and adversely affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

All policies of insurance insuring such Obligor or their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect. Such Obligor is in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects, and there are no claims by such Obligor under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause. None of such Obligor has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and none of such Obligor has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. None of the Obligors or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any director, officer, employee or any agent or other person acting on behalf of an Obligor has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, an Obligor (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any domestic government official, “foreign official” (as defined in the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “FCPA”) or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the FCPA or any applicable non-U.S. anti-bribery statute or regulation; or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any domestic government official, such foreign official or employee; and each of the Obligors, and, to the knowledge of the Obligors, its and their other affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

(v) Money Laundering. The operations of each Obligor have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving an Obligor with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the Issuer’s knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened.

(w) OFAC. None of the Obligors or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, after due inquiry, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of an Obligor or other person acting on their behalf is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Issuer will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Placement, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of or business with any person, or in any country or territory, that currently is subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any person (including any person participating in the transaction whether as initial purchaser, advisor, investor or otherwise) of U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

(x) Stamp Taxes. There are no stamp or other issuance or transfer taxes or duties or other similar fees or charges required to be paid in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance or sale of the Notes.

None of the Obligors has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or any similar U.S. or non-U.S. state or local Environmental Laws or regulation requiring such Obligor to investigate or remediate any pollutants or contaminants, except where such requirements would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In the ordinary course of its business, the Issuer periodically reviews the effects of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Obligors, 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, the Issuer has reasonably concluded that such associated costs would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(z) Investment Company Act. The Issuer has been advised of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Investment Company Act”); as of the date hereof and, after giving effect to the Placement and the use of proceeds therefrom, each of the Obligors is not and will not be, individually or on a consolidated basis, an “investment company” that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.

(bb) No Registration Required Under the Securities Act. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained in this Agreement and the Other Purchasers contained in the Other Purchase Agreement and the compliance of such parties with the agreements set forth herein and therein, it is not necessary, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, to register the Notes under the Securities Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Part 220), Regulation U (12 C.F.R. Part 221) or Regulation X (12 C.F.R. Part 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No Obligor is engaged principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing, buying or carrying margin stock.

(dd) QIBs and Institutional Accredited Investors. Neither the Obligors nor anyone acting on their behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other than (a) “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), (b) QIBs (including the Purchasers and the Other Purchasers) or (c) with respect to Notes to be sold in reliance on Regulation S, non-“U.S. persons” (as defined under Regulation S), and in the case of each clauses (a), (b) and (c) meet the Additional Purchaser Criteria set forth in Section 2(c) hereof.

(ff) No General Solicitation. None of the Obligors, their respective affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) or any other Person acting on behalf of any of them has engaged, or will engage, directly or indirectly in any form of “general solicitation” or “general advertising” (each as defined in Regulation D) in connection with the offering of the Notes or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2).

(gg) No Directed Selling Efforts. None of the Obligors, any of their respective affiliates or any other Person acting on behalf of any of them has, with respect to Notes sold outside the United States, offered the Notes to buyers qualifying as “U.S. persons” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) or engaged in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of such Rule 902. The Obligors, any of their respective affiliates and any other Person acting on behalf any of them have complied with and will implement the “offering restrictions” within the meaning of such Rule 902. None of the Obligors, any of their respective affiliates or any Person acting on behalf of any of them has entered, or will enter, into any arrangement or agreement with respect to the distribution of the Notes, except for this Agreement, the Placement Agency and Closing Agency Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2017, among the Obligors, the Placement Agent and the Closing Agent (the “Placement Agency and Closing Agency Agreement”), and the Indenture.

During the six-month period preceding the earlier of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, none of the Obligors or any of their respective affiliates has sold or issued any security of the same or similar class or series as any of the Notes that would be required to be integrated with the Notes in a manner that would require registration under the Securities Act, including any sales pursuant to Rule 144A, Regulation D or Regulation S. None of the Obligors or any of their respective affiliates will make any offer or sale of any securities that would be required to be integrated with the Notes in a manner that would require registration under the Securities Act, for a period of six months after the date of this Agreement, except for the offering of Notes as contemplated by this Agreement. As used in this paragraph, the terms “offer” and “sale” have the meanings specified in Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

(ii) Related Party Transactions. Except as set forth in the Public Disclosure, no relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among any of the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer, on the one hand, and any director, officer, member, stockholder, customer or supplier of the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer, on the other hand, which would be required by the Securities Act to be disclosed in a registration statement on Form S-1 which is not so disclosed in the Public Disclosure.

(jj) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. There is and has been no failure on the part of the Issuer or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any of the Issuer’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with any provision of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith, including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation), such indemnitee will, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability it may have to any indemnitee to the extent the indemnifying party is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against any indemnitee, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect, by written notice delivered to such indemnitee promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnitee, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnitee; provided, however, that if the defendants (including any impleaded parties) in any such action include both the indemnitee and the indemnifying party and the indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnitees that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnitee or indemnitees shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnitee or indemnitees. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnitee of its election to so appoint counsel to defend such action and reasonable approval by the indemnitee of such counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnitee under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless: (A) the indemnitee shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expense of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), approved by the indemnitee representing the indemnitees who are parties to such action); (B) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnitee to represent the indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice or commencement of the action; (C) the indemnifying party shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnitee at the expense of the indemnifying party; or (D) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest.

(d) The indemnifying party and the indemnitees will not, without the prior written consent of the applicable indemnitees, or the indemnifying party, as applicable, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not such indemnitees are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnitee, or the indemnifying party, as applicable, from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of guilt of, or failure to act by, the indemnitee, or include any injunctive relief against any indemnitee. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or the consent to the entry of judgment in connection with any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action other than a judgment entered with the consent of such indemnitee, then the indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless any indemnitee from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(e) Each indemnitee shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as the indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation arising therefrom.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights and remedies provided in this Section 8 are the sole rights with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no party hereto shall make any other claim for costs, damages of expenses (including fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants, experts or other representatives) to any fine of or penalty on or any liability of any other nature or otherwise, under, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other laws or otherwise.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 8 are intended solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereby be enforced by, any other Person.

(b) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of New York, in each case, located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have, and agrees not to request, a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party shall assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.

(d) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7 hereof prior to the Closing Date, the representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in Sections 2 and 3 hereof and the agreements and covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof shall survive the Closing; provided that such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be accurate and correct only on the date hereof and on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Section 2(o) and Section 9(l) hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(e) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(f) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations among such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(h) Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Placement Agent and the Closing Agent with respect to any such amendments or modifications relating to the Closing or upon which the Placement Agent and/or Closing Agent is entitled to rely, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit. The failure by any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. Any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(h) shall be binding on the Purchasers and all holders of the Notes purchased under this Agreement, as applicable.

(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided, that a facsimile or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.

(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person; provided, however, that the Placement Agent and the Closing Agent may each rely upon Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof as if such representations, warranties, agreements and covenants, as applicable, were made directly to the Placement Agent and Closing Agent. The parties further agree that the Placement Agent may rely on or, if the Placement Agent so requests, be specifically named as an addressee of, the legal opinions and certificates to be delivered pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

(l) Limitation on Duties of Closing Agent and Placement Agent; Exculpation. Each party hereto agrees for the express benefit of each of the Closing Agent and the Placement Agent, its respective affiliates (other than the Obligors) and its respective representatives that:

(i) None of the Closing Agent, the Placement Agent, or any of their affiliates (other than the Obligors) or representatives has any duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or in the Placement Agency and Closing Agency Agreement.

(ii) None of the Closing Agent, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates (other than the Obligors) or representatives (1) shall be liable for any improper payment made in accordance with the information provided by any Obligor; (2) makes any representation or warranty, or has any responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement, the Placement Agency and Closing Agency Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any information in the Public Disclosure or (3) shall be liable (x) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, the Placement Agency and Closing Agency Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (y) for anything that any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement, the Placement Agency and Closing Agency Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except for such party’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(iii) Each of the Closing Agent, the Placement Agent, their respective affiliates (other than the Obligors) and their respective representatives shall be entitled to (1) rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of any of the Obligors, and (2) be indemnified by the Obligors for acting as Placement Agent and Closing Agent, respectively, hereunder pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in the Placement Agency and Closing Agency Agreement, which provisions hereby are incorporated by reference herein.

(m) Obligations Several. Notwithstanding that this Agreement is being executed by multiple Purchasers, the obligations of the Purchasers under this Agreement are several and not joint. No Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement, and nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association or joint venture of any kind, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting other than in their individual capacities. None of the Purchasers shall have any fiduciary duty or other duties or responsibilities in any kind or form to each other, the Obligors or any other Person as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring such Purchaser’s investment or enforcing its rights under this Agreement or the other transaction documents to be entered into in connection with the consummation of the Placement.
