office first identified in Schedule II hereto under the account number 15984500 in the name of the Custodian (said account, together with any replacements thereof or substitutions therefor, the Account), (b) the Account is a

related Collateral Documents set forth in such request and receipt to the Collateral Manager. All Collateral Documents so released to the Collateral Manager shall be held by the Collateral Manager in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee in
accordance with the terms of this Pledge Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall return to the Custodian the Collateral Documents (i) promptly upon the request of the Pledgee, or (ii) except as the Pledgee shall otherwise agree in writing, when the
Collateral Managers need therefor in connection with such purpose no longer exists (and in any event no later than 20 days after such release to the Collateral Manager).

give a Custodian Termination Notice only for cause and only when no Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing and (y) notwithstanding its receipt of a Custodian Termination Notice, the Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until a

the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the Custodians determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or



9



---

becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action that the Custodian could take to make the performance of its duties
hereunder permissible under such Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Custodian shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Pledgee and the Borrower in

A. As security for the prompt payment in full when due of the Borrowers or MCGs obligations to the Pledgee, now
existing or hereafter arising, under one or more of the Credit Agreement and this Pledge Agreement (collectively, the Obligations), the Borrower hereby Grants in favor of the Pledgee a security interest in all of the Borrowers
right, title and interest, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising, in, to and under the Collateral (and, in the case of the Borrowers rights acquired under Paragraph 7B, assigns such rights to the Pledgee, all
with the consent of MCG and the LLC).



B. Although MCG, the
LLC, the Borrower and the Pledgee intend that (i) each Collateral Debt Security acquired by the LLC and in turn the Borrower shall constitute the acquisition by the LLC and in turn the Borrower of all right, title and interest in and to such
Collateral Debt Security and (ii) each Contributed Capital Asset contributed by MCG to the capital of the LLC, and contributed by the LLC to the capital of the Borrower, shall constitute the contribution to the Borrower of all right, title and
interest in and to such Contributed Capital Asset, in the event any such acquisition or contribution is deemed to be a loan to the LLC in respect of such Collateral Debt Security or Contributed Capital Asset, then, as security for the prompt payment
in full when due of the Obligations, the LLC hereby Grants in favor of the Borrower a security interest in all of the LLCs right, title and interest, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising, in, to and under the
Collateral (and, in the case of the LLCs rights acquired under Paragraph 7C, assigns such rights to the Borrower, all with the consent of MCG).



C. Although MCG, the LLC, the Borrower and the Pledgee intend that (i) each Collateral Debt Security acquired by the LLC and in turn the Borrower shall
constitute the acquisition by the LLC and the Borrower of all right, title and interest in and to such Collateral Debt Security and (ii) each Contributed Capital Asset contributed by MCG to the capital of the LLC, and contributed by the LLC to the
capital of the Borrower, shall constitute the contribution to the Borrower of all right, title and interest in and to such Contributed Capital Asset, in the event any such acquisition or contribution is deemed to be a loan to MCG in respect of such
Collateral Debt Security or Contributed Capital Asset, then, as security for the prompt payment in full when due of the Obligations, MCG hereby Grants in favor of the LLC a security interest



10



---

in all of MCGs right, title and interest, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising, in, to and under the Collateral.



D. With respect to the foregoing and the Grant hereunder, each Pledgor
hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor where permitted by law; and the Pledgee agrees to
notify such Pledgor of any such action taken by it. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Pledge Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where
permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) any financing statement filed in connection within the foregoing and the Grant hereunder naming MCG as the debtor shall name the LLC as the secured party and the Pledgee as the
assignee thereof and (y) any financing statement naming the LLC as the debtor shall name the Borrower as the secured party and the Pledgee as the assignee thereof.



E. Each Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at such Pledgors expense (provided that the Borrower shall be liable
for all such expenses and all expenses pursuant to clause (F) below and Paragraph 4(D) in an aggregate amount up to $75,000), it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and will cooperate and take all actions, that
may reasonably be necessary or desirable, or that the Pledgee may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Grant to the Pledgee of such Pledgors interest in any Collateral, or to enable the Pledgee to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under the Credit Agreement.



F. If any Pledgor fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after ten (10) Business Days written notice from the Pledgee, the Pledgee may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of,
such obligation; and the Pledgees reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Pledgor (provided that the Borrower shall be liable for all such expenses and all expenses pursuant to clause (E) above
and Paragraph 4(D) in an aggregate amount up to $75,000). Each Pledgor irrevocably authorizes the Pledgee and appoints the Pledgee as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Pledgor, (i) to execute on behalf of such Pledgor as debtor
and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Pledgees sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Pledgee in any Collateral and (ii) to file a photographic or other
reproduction of this Pledge Agreement or any financing statement with respect to any Collateral in such offices as the Pledgee in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the
interests of the Pledgee in any Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.



G. During the period in which a Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee shall have, with respect to the Collateral Granted hereunder, and
in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Pledgee under this Pledge Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Pledgees offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and upon such other terms as the Pledgee may deem commercially reasonable. The proceeds of any collection, sale

---

or other realization on all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto shall be applied in accordance with Paragraph 7N. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, for a period of up to 30 calendar days after the occurrence of any Remedy Event and so long as no Designated Remedy Event has occurred, MCG (on behalf of the Borrower) may (or, at the request of the
Pledgee, shall) sell or liquidate (in a default sale) each Collateral Debt Security and each Contributed Capital Asset (including to MCG) on any commercially reasonable terms (and the Pledgee shall have no right to effect any such sale or
liquidation except to direct MCG to effect the same on behalf of the Borrower); provided that the foregoing shall not limit the Pledgee from taking, during such 30-day period, any other action authorized to be taken by the Pledgee under this
Agreement while a Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing that is not inconsistent with the foregoing limitation.



H. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The
Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.



I. While any Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee may:
(i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Borrower (or, if a Designated Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee) or its nominee, (ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to
the Borrower (or, if a Designated Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee) of any amount due or to become due thereunder, (iii) enforce collection of any of the Collateral, by suit or otherwise, (iv) so long as any Designated Remedy
Event has occurred and is continuing, surrender, release or exchange all or any part of the Collateral, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with
respect thereto, (v) endorse any checks, drafts or other writings in any Pledgors name to allow collection of the Collateral, (vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral, and (vii) subject to the last sentence of Paragraph 7G,
execute (in the name, place and stead of any of any Pledgor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral. The proceeds of any collection of all or any part of
the Collateral pursuant hereto shall be applied in accordance with Paragraph 7N.



J. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, subject to Paragraph 7G, MCG has been appointed by the Borrower to manage and monitor the Collateral and that MCG is authorized to act on behalf of the
Borrower for all purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including the exercise of the Borrowers rights described herein. With respect to each item of Collateral, in the event that, in its capacity as collateral manager of such item of Collateral
and on behalf of the Borrower, MCG receives any notice or other communication concerning any amendment, supplement, consent, waiver or other modification (howsoever documented) (any such item, a Communication) under or in respect
of such item of Collateral or any related document or makes any affirmative determination to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or remedies in respect of such item of Collateral, MCG, on behalf of the Borrower, shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Pledgee; provided that no such notice shall be required to be given



12



---

to the Pledgee in respect of any Communication (i) relating to a matter that is a purely administrative or operational matter or (ii) constituting
preliminary discussions concerning the feasibility of, or any preliminary terms of, any such amendment, supplement, consent, waiver or other modification. With respect to any Communication as to which such notice is required to be given to the
Pledgee, the Borrower shall, with respect to such item of Collateral, exercise all voting and other powers of consensual ownership relating to such Communication or the exercise of such rights or remedies as the Borrower shall deem appropriate under
the circumstances; provided that, insofar as any such Communication is related to a Specified Matter, MCG, on behalf of the Borrower, shall exercise all voting and other powers of consensual ownership only with the prior written consent of
the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except to the extent that the grant by the Borrower to the Pledgee of such consent right would expressly violate a provision of such item of Collateral or any
related document prohibiting any such grant or expressly restricting the matters that may be the subject of any such right, in which event the Pledgees right to so consent shall be so limited.



K. Each Pledgor agrees that, in connection with any sale of the Collateral
while any Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised in writing by counsel (with a copy provided to such Pledgor) is
necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain
qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in
order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and each Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have
been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Pledgee be liable nor accountable to any Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.



L. Without prior consent of the Pledgee, each Pledgor agrees
that it shall not change the jurisdiction under whose laws it is organized.



M. The Pledgee shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against
the Pledgee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale.



N. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization on all or any
part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held in the Account, shall be applied by the Pledgee toward payment of the Obligations in such order and manner as the Pledgee, in its discretion, may deem advisable (but subject
to any applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement). Any surplus remaining shall be delivered to the Borrower.



13



---

O. Subject to the last sentence of Paragraph 7G, each Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee as such
Pledgors attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, from time to time in the Pledgees discretion, while any Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing, to take any
action and to execute any instrument which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including without limitation: (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (ii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments and documents, in connection with clause (i) above; and (iii) to file any
claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Pledgee may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Pledgee with respect to any of the Collateral. In
addition, each Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee as such Pledgors attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, from time to time in the Pledgees discretion, while any
Remedy Event has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the right of the Pledgee to sell any Collateral Debt Security or Contributed Capital Asset,
subject to the last sentence of Paragraph 7G. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the powers of attorney granted pursuant to this paragraph are irrevocable during the term of this Pledge Agreement, are granted by way of
security and are coupled with an interest.



P. The powers and
rights conferred on the Pledgee hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. The Pledgee shall have no fiduciary duty in respect of any Pledgor or any indirect
beneficiary of this Pledge Agreement or the Collateral, provided that the Pledgee is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided further that the Pledgee shall be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Collateral Manager reasonably requests in writing, but failure of the Pledgee to comply with any such request
at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.



8. Miscellaneous.



A. Access to Books
and Records. The Custodian shall provide to the Pledgee, each Pledgor and Collateral Manager (and/or the accountants, counsel and other agents and representatives thereof) access to the Collateral Documents and all other documentation regarding
the Collateral Debt Securities and the Contributed Capital Assets, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon three (3) Business Days prior written request, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the Custodians
normal security and confidentiality procedures.



B. Merger
or Consolidation of Custodian.Any Person (i) into which the Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the
properties and assets of the Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases shall be the successor to the Custodian under this Pledge Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Pledge Agreement.



14



---

C. Invalidity of any Provision. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Pledge
Agreement, or the application thereof to either party or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions
of this Pledge Agreement, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality will not otherwise affect
the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Pledge Agreement so long as this Pledge Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of
the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Pledge Agreement will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits
that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited or unenforceable provision with a valid provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the prohibited or unenforceable provision.



D. Amendments
and Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Pledge Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission ) and executed by each of the parties.



E. Binding Agreement. This Pledge Agreement shall extend to and shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Person other than the parties hereto shall have any rights under this Pledge Agreement. Neither this Pledge Agreement nor any
right or obligation in or under this Pledge Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by (a) any Pledgor without the prior written consent of the Pledgee, (b) the Custodian without the prior written consent of the
Borrower and the Pledgee (but without limiting Paragraph 8B) and (c) the Pledgee without the prior written consent of the Borrower. Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this provision will be void.



F. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; No Immunity. This Pledge Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with, and this Pledge Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating in any way whatsoever to this Pledge Agreement (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, the law of the State of New
York (without reference to any choice of law doctrine that would have the effect of causing this Agreement to be construed in accordance with or governed by the law of any other jurisdiction). With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating
to this Pledge Agreement (Proceedings), each party irrevocably: (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New
York City; and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the
right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Pledge Agreement precludes any party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of
Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.



15



---

G. Waiver of Jury Trial Right. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.



H. Headings and References. The headings and captions in this Pledge Agreement are for reference only and shall not
affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions.



I. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or other written form of communication), each of
which will be deemed an original as against each party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same enforceable, effective and valid agreement.



J. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including telex communication and communication by facsimile copy) and mailed, delivered by a nationally-recognized overnight parcel express service, telexed, transmitted or hand
delivered, as to each party hereto, at its address specified in Schedule II or to such other person or persons as the receiving party may from time to time designate in writing. All such notices and communications shall be effective, upon
receipt, or in the case of (a) notice by mail, five days after being deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, (b) notice by overnight parcel express service, when delivered, but in any event, no later than the Business Day
after the day on which it is delivered to such service, (c) notice by telex, when telexed against receipt of answer back, or (d) notice by facsimile copy, when verbal or electronic communication of receipt is obtained.



K. No Waiver, Rights and Remedies. No failure on the part of the
Pledgee or the Custodian or any assignee of the Pledgee or the Custodian to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.



L. Termination. Upon the payment in full of all Obligations, the
security interest granted herein shall automatically terminate and all rights of the Pledgor to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrower. Upon any such termination, the Pledgee will, at the Borrowers sole expense, deliver to the Borrower
and instruct the Custodian to deliver to the Borrower, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Pledgee or the Custodian
hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Borrower (or such other person as the Borrower shall request) such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.



M. No Petition. Each of the parties hereto, by entering into this
Pledge Agreement, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Borrower or the LLC, or voluntarily join in any institution against the Borrower or the LLC of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency
or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under



16



---

any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law of any jurisdiction within or outside the United States in connection with any obligations owing
to it.



N. Limited Recourse Obligations of the
Borrower. Other than as expressly set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Obligations are limited recourse obligations payable solely from the Collateral and following realization of such Collateral and the application of all Proceeds
thereof to the payment of the Obligations, any claims of the Pledgee hereunder shall be extinguished. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, employee, equityholder, agent or incorporator of any Pledgor or its successors or assigns
for any amounts payable under the Obligations; provided that, notwithstanding the ownership by MCG of LLC and by LLC of the Borrower, the foregoing shall not limit direct recourse available to any Pledgor by reason of its contractual
obligations arising hereunder or under the Credit Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions shall not (a) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any instrument or agreement which is part of the
Collateral or (b) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any Obligations until such Collateral has been realized and all Proceeds thereof applied to the Obligations, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished.
It is further understood that the foregoing provisions shall not limit the right of any person to name the Borrower as a party or defendant in any action or suit or in the exercise of any other remedy pursuant to the Obligations, so long as no
judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such person or entity. This paragraph will survive termination of this Pledge Agreement.



O. Confidentiality Restrictions of Custodian. The Custodian shall and
shall cause its representatives, its legal counsel and its auditors to hold in confidence all information provided to it pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for
confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Custodian may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder and under applicable law.
