law or terms of the applicable Franchise Agreement (as defined in the Credit Facility as of the date hereof), Framework Agreement (as defined in the Credit Facility as of the date hereof) or similar manufacturer agreement would prohibit the pledge

Document, as applicable, (ii) if any material property becomes “Excluded Property” by the operation of clause (I) above, the Company shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of such property and (iii) if any real property
ever secures the Credit Facility on a first-priority basis, such real property shall be Collateral and the relevant Grantor shall cause such real property to secure the Secured Obligations on a second-priority basis with mortgage, real estate trust
deed or similar instruments of Lien containing terms no more restrictive to the relevant Grantor than in the first-priority basis. 
 3. Perfection. (a) As of the date of execution of this Security Agreement or Joinder Agreement by each Grantor, as applicable (with respect to each Grantor, its “Applicable Date”), such Grantor
shall have: 
 (i) furnished the Collateral Agent with duly authorized financing statements in form, number and substance
suitable for filing, sufficient under applicable law, and satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in order that upon the filing of the same the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a duly perfected security interest in
all Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected by the filing of financing statements; and 
 (ii) delivered to
the Collateral Agent, or an agent or bailee of the Collateral Agent, all Collateral with respect to which either a security interest can be perfected only by possession or a security interest perfected by possession shall have priority as against
Persons not having possession, and including in the case of Instruments, Documents, and Investment Property in the form of certificated securities, duly executed endorsements or stock powers in blank, as the case may be, affixed thereto in form and
substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent and sufficient under applicable law so that the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a security interest in all such Collateral perfected by possession; 
 with the effect that the Liens conferred in favor of the Collateral Agent shall be and remain duly perfected and subject only, to the extent applicable, to Permitted
Liens. All financing statements (including all amendments thereto and continuations thereof), certificates, stock powers and other documents furnished in connection with the creation, enforcement, protection, perfection or priority of the Collateral
Agent’s security interest in Collateral, including such items as are described above in this Section 3, are sometimes referred to herein as “Perfection Documents”. The delivery of possession of items of or
evidencing Collateral, causing other Persons to execute and deliver Perfection Documents as appropriate, the filing or recordation of Perfection Documents, the establishment of control over items of Collateral, and the taking of such other actions
as may be necessary or advisable in the determination of the Collateral Agent to create, enforce, protect, perfect, or establish or maintain the priority of, the security interest of the 








 
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral is sometimes referred to herein as “Perfection Action”.

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Agreement or any other Note Document, (i) no Grantor
shall be required to deliver to the Collateral Agent, or an agent or bailee of the Collateral Agent, any motor- vehicle certificate of title or any other document of title and (ii) no Grantor shall be required to enter into, or to obtain for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent or any Holder, any deposit account control agreement, securities account control agreement, issuer acknowledgement of the Collateral Agent’s interest in Letter-of-Credit Rights, agreements regarding the
control of electronic Chattel Paper (or the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper), acknowledgements of warehousemen or bailees or other agreements or instruments, with or from third parties, similar to any of the foregoing. 
 4. Second Priority Nature of Liens. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted
to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement shall be a second priority lien on and security interest in the Collateral to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral
Agent hereunder is subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Security Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and
control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of the First Lien Debt (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the requirements of this Security Agreement to physically deliver any Collateral to the Collateral
Agent or to cause the Collateral Agent to obtain control of any such Collateral shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such Collateral to the First Lien Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), as agent and bailee of the Collateral
Agent, or by causing the First Lien Agent, as agent and bailee of the Collateral Agent, to obtain control of such Collateral, as applicable, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 5. Maintenance of Security Interest; Further Assurances. 
 (a) Each Grantor will from time to time at its own expense, deliver specific assignments of Collateral or such other Perfection Documents,
and take such other or additional Perfection Action, as may be required by the terms of the Indenture in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Security Agreement or related to the Collateral or any part thereof in order to carry
out the terms of this Security Agreement, to perfect, protect, maintain the priority of or enforce the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, or otherwise to better assure and confirm unto the
Collateral Agent its rights, powers and remedies for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to file (with, or to the extent permitted by
applicable law, without the signature of the Grantor appearing thereon) financing statements (including amendments thereto and initial financing statements in lieu of continuation statements) or other Perfection Documents (including copies thereof)
showing such Grantor as “debtor” at such time or times and in all filing offices as the Collateral Agent may from time to time determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties hereunder, or otherwise to give effect to the transactions herein contemplated. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably ratifies and acknowledges the Collateral Agent’s authority to have effected 








 
filings of Perfection Documents made by the Collateral Agent prior to its Applicable Date. 
 (b) With respect to any and all Collateral, each Grantor agrees to do and cause to be done all things necessary to perfect, maintain the
priority of and keep in full force the security interest granted in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, the prompt payment upon demand therefor by the Collateral Agent of all fees and
expenses (including documentary stamp, excise or intangibles taxes) incurred in connection with the preparation, delivery, or filing of any Perfection Document or the taking of any Perfection Action to perfect, protect or enforce a security interest
in Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject only to Permitted Liens. All amounts not so paid when due shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and (in addition to other rights and remedies
resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the then applicable interest rate borne by the Securities. 
 (c) Each Grantor agrees to maintain among its books and records appropriate notations or evidence of, and to make or cause to be made
appropriate disclosure upon its financial statements of, the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 
 (d) Each Grantor agrees that, in the event any proceeds (other than goods) of Collateral shall be or become commingled with other property
not constituting Collateral, then such proceeds may, to the extent permitted by law, be identified by application of the lowest intermediate balance rule to such commingled property. 
 6. Preservation and Protection of Collateral. 
 (a) The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty or liability with respect to the collection, protection or preservation of the Collateral, or otherwise. Each Grantor shall be responsible for the safekeeping of its
Collateral, and in no event shall the Collateral Agent have any responsibility for (i) any loss or damage thereto or destruction thereof occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (ii) any diminution in the value
thereof, or (iii) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee or forwarding agency thereof or other Person in any way dealing with or handling such Collateral. 
 (b) No Grantor shall permit any such items having an aggregate value in excess of $1,000,000 to become a fixture to real property (other
than any signage fixture attached in the ordinary course of business or unless such Grantor has granted the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a Lien on such real property) or accessions to other personal property. 

(c) Each Grantor agrees (i) to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges and assessments against the Collateral in which it has
any interest, unless being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and against which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the application of GAAP in the
audited financial statements of the Company and 








 
evidenced to the satisfaction of the Collateral Agent and provided that all enforcement proceedings in the nature of levy or foreclosure are effectively
stayed, and (ii) to cause to be terminated and released all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on the Collateral. Upon the failure of any Grantor to so pay or contest such taxes, charges, or assessments, or cause such Liens to be terminated,
the Collateral Agent at its option may pay or contest any of them or amounts relating thereto (the Collateral Agent having the sole right to determine the legality or validity and the amount necessary to discharge such taxes, charges, Liens or
assessments) but shall not have any obligation to make any such payment or contest. All sums so disbursed by the Collateral Agent, including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (“Attorney Costs”), court costs, expenses and
other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and
remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest at the then applicable interest rate borne by the Securities. 
 7.
Status of Grantors and Collateral Generally. Each Grantor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to itself and the Collateral as to which it has or
acquires any interest, that: 
 (a) It is at its Applicable Date (or as to Collateral acquired after its Applicable Date will
be upon the acquisition of the same) and, except as permitted by the Indenture and subsection (b) of this Section 7, will continue to be, the owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, other than the security
interest hereunder in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and Permitted Liens, and that it will at its own cost and expense defend such Collateral and any products and proceeds thereof against all claims and demands
of all Persons (other than holders of Permitted Liens) to the extent of their claims permitted under the Indenture at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Secured Parties. Upon the failure of any Grantor to so defend,
the Collateral Agent may do so at its option but shall not have any obligation to do so. All sums so disbursed by the Collateral Agent, including reasonable Attorney Costs, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on
demand by the applicable Grantor to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall
bear interest at the then applicable interest rate borne by the Securities. 
 (b) It shall not (i) sell, assign,
transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, except for dispositions permitted by the Indenture or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the
Collateral except for the security interests created by this Security Agreement and Permitted Liens, or (iii) take any other action in connection with any of the Collateral that would materially impair the value of the interest or rights of
such Grantor in the Collateral taken as a whole or that would materially impair the interest or rights of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, except with respect to any action not prohibited by the Indenture. 







 (c) It has full power, legal right and lawful authority to enter into this Security
Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement applicable to it) and to perform its terms, including the grant of the security interests in the Collateral herein provided for. 
 (d) No authorization, consent, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or any other
Person which has not been given or obtained, as the case may be, is required either (i) for the grant by such Grantor of the security interests granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Security Agreement (or any
Joinder Agreement) by such Grantor, or (ii) for the perfection of or the exercise by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of its rights and remedies hereunder, except for actions required by the Uniform Commercial Codes of
applicable jurisdictions (which UCC-1 financing statement filings will be made substantially concurrently with the execution of this Security Agreement), and federal statutes regarding copyrights, patents and trademarks, to perfect and exercise
remedies with respect to the security interest conferred hereunder. 
 (e) No effective financing statement or other
Perfection Document similar in effect, nor any other Perfection Action, covering all or any part of the Collateral purported to be granted or taken by or on behalf of such Grantor (or by or on behalf of any other Person and which remains effective
as against all or any part of the Collateral) has been filed in any recording office, delivered to another Person for filing (whether upon the occurrence of a contingency or otherwise), or otherwise taken, as the case may be, except such as pertain
to Permitted Liens and such as may have been filed for the benefit of, delivered to, or taken in favor of, the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in connection with the security interests conferred hereunder. 
 (f) Schedule 7(f) attached hereto contains true and complete information as to each of the following: (i) the exact legal name
of each Grantor as it appears in its organizational documents as of its Applicable Date and at any time during the five (5) year period ending as of its Applicable Date (the “Covered Period”), (ii) the jurisdiction of
formation and form of organization of each Grantor, and the identification number of such Grantor in its jurisdiction of formation (if any) and (iii) each address of the chief executive office of each Grantor as of its Applicable Date and at

less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and taking or causing to be taken at such Grantor’s expense all such Perfection Action, including the delivery of such Perfection Documents, as may be reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent to perfect or protect, or maintain the perfection and priority of, the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in Collateral contemplated hereunder. 
 (g) No Grantor shall engage in any consignment transaction in respect of any of the Collateral, whether as consignee or consignor.

 (h) No Grantor shall cause, suffer or permit any of the tangible personal property Collateral (i) to be evidenced by
any document of title (except for shipping documents as necessary or customary to effect the receipt of such Collateral or the 








 
delivery of such Collateral to such Grantor or to customers, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and motor vehicle certificates of title).

 8. Inspection. The Collateral Agent (by any of its officers, employees and agents), on behalf of the Secured
Parties, shall have the right, upon prior notice to an executive officer of any Grantor, and at any reasonable times during such Grantor’s usual business hours, to inspect the Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts or
copies from such records), and the premises upon which any of the Collateral is located, to discuss such Grantor’s affairs and finances with any Person (other than Persons obligated on any Accounts (“Account Debtors”) except as
expressly otherwise permitted in the Indenture) and to verify with any Person other than (except as expressly otherwise permitted in the Indenture) Account Debtors the amount, quality, quantity, value and condition of, or any other matter relating
to, the Collateral and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to discuss such Grantor’s affairs and finances with such Grantor’s Account Debtors and to verify the amount, quality, value and condition of, or any other
matter relating to, the Collateral with such Account Debtors. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on such Grantor’s premises a custodian selected
by the Collateral Agent who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the Collateral Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) interest. All expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
by reason of the employment of such custodian shall be paid by such Grantor on demand from time to time and shall be added to the Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and
remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest at the then applicable interest rate borne by the Securities.

agent or bailee, together with duly executed undated stock powers endorsed in blank pertaining thereto. 
 (ii) All dividends
and other distributions with respect to any of the Investment Property shall be subject to the security interest conferred hereunder, provided, however, that cash dividends paid to a Grantor as record owner of the Investment Property
may be disbursed to and retained by such Grantor. 
 (iii) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights and powers pertaining to Investment Property for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms hereof or the Indenture. 
 (iv) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of the Collateral Agent upon notice to the
relevant Grantor, all rights of the Grantors to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers which it is authorized to exercise pursuant to clause (iii) immediately above shall cease and the Collateral Agent may thereupon (but shall not
be obligated to), at its request, cause such Collateral to be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee or agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and/or exercise such voting or consensual rights and powers as appertain to
ownership of such Collateral, and to that end each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote and exercise all other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Investment Property upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, which proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the termination of this Security Agreement, and 








 
each Grantor hereby agrees to provide such further proxies as the Collateral Agent may request; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent in its
discretion may from time to time refrain from exercising, and shall not be obligated to exercise, any such voting or consensual rights or such proxy. 
 (f) Chattel Paper. With respect to its Chattel Paper whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties that to the extent so expressly required by the Indenture: 
 (i) Such Grantor shall at
all times retain sole physical possession of the originals of all Chattel Paper (other than electronic Chattel Paper and the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper); provided, however, that (x) upon the request of the
Collateral Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Grantor shall immediately deliver physical possession of such Chattel Paper to the Collateral Agent or its designee, and (y) in the event
that there shall be created more than one original counterpart of any physical document that alone or in conjunction with any other physical or electronic document constitutes Chattel Paper, then such counterparts shall be numbered consecutively
starting with “1” and such Grantor shall retain the counterpart numbered “1”. 
 (ii) Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall promptly and conspicuously legend all counterparts of all tangible Chattel Paper substantially as follows: “A SECURITY INTEREST IN
THIS CHATTEL PAPER HAS BEEN GRANTED TO U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, FOR ITSELF AND AS COLLATERAL AGENT FOR CERTAIN HOLDERS PURSUANT TO A SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MAY 7, 2009, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITY
AGREEMENT DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 17, 2006 (OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO A CREDIT FACILITY) AND THE SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED TO BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. FOR ITSELF AND FOR CERTAIN LENDERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, NO SECURITY INTEREST OR OTHER INTEREST IN
FAVOR OF ANY OTHER PERSON MAY BE CREATED BY THE TRANSFER OF PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF THIS CHATTEL PAPER OR OF ANY COUNTERPART HEREOF EXCEPT BY OR WITH THE CONSENT OF THE AFORESAID COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROVIDED IN SUCH SECURITY AGREEMENT”. Upon the
occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, such Grantor shall not create or acquire any electronic Chattel Paper (including the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper), unless, prior to such acquisition or creation, it
shall have taken such Perfection Action as the Collateral Agent may require to perfect by control the security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such Collateral. 
 (iii) Other than in the ordinary course of business and in keeping with reasonable and customary practice, no Grantor shall amend, modify,
waive or 








 
terminate any provision of, or fail to exercise promptly and diligently each material right or remedy conferred under or in connection with, any Chattel
Paper, in any case in such a manner as could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value of affected Chattel Paper as collateral. 
 (g) Instruments. With respect to its Instruments whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties that: 
 (i) Such Grantor shall maintain at all times, and, upon the request of the
Collateral Agent, furnish to the Collateral Agent a current list identifying in reasonable detail Instruments of which such Grantor is the payee or holder and having a face amount payable in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate from any single
Person. 
 (ii) Such Grantor shall, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent, or an agent or
bailee of the Collateral Agent, the originals of all such Instruments, together with duly executed undated endorsements in blank affixed thereto and such other documentation and information as may be necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to
realize upon the Instruments in accordance with their respective terms or transfer the Instruments as may be permitted under the Indenture or by applicable law. 
 (iii) Other than in the ordinary course of business and in keeping with reasonable and customary practice, no Grantor shall amend, modify,
waive or terminate any provision of, or fail to exercise promptly and diligently each material right or remedy conferred under or in connection with, any Instrument, in any case in such a manner as could reasonably be expected to materially
adversely affect the value of affected Instrument as collateral. 
 (h) Commercial Tort Claims. With respect to
its Commercial Tort Claims whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that: 
 (i) Schedule 8(h) attached hereto contains a true and complete list of all Commercial Tort Claims in which any Grantor has an
interest and which have been identified by a Grantor as of its Applicable Date, and as to which the Grantor believes in good faith there exists the possibility of recovery (including by way of settlement) of monetary relief in excess of $1,000,000
(“Grantor Claims”). Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent, quarterly within fifteen (15) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, and upon request by the Collateral Agent, a certificate of an
officer of such Grantor referring to this Section 8(h) and (x) identifying all Grantor Claims that are not then described on Schedule 8(h) attached hereto and stating that each of such additional Grantor Claims shall be
deemed added to such Schedule 8(h) and shall constitute a Commercial Tort Claim, a Grantor Claim, and additional Collateral hereunder, and (y) summarizing the status or disposition of any Grantor Claims that have 








 
been settled, or have been made the subject of any binding mediation, judicial or arbitral proceeding, or any judicial or arbitral order on the merits, or
that have been abandoned. With respect to each such additional Grantor Claim, such Grantor Claim shall be and become part of the Collateral hereunder from the date such claim is identified to the Collateral Agent as provided above without further
action. 
 (ii) The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized (but shall not be obligated to) at the expense of the applicable
Grantor to execute and file such additional financing statements or amendments to previously filed financing statements, and take such other action as it may deem necessary or advisable to perfect the Lien on such additional Grantor Claims conferred
hereunder, and the Grantor shall, if required by applicable law or otherwise at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver such Perfection Documents and take such other Perfection Action to perfect or protect the Lien of the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such additional Grantor Claims conferred hereunder. 
 10. Casualty and Liability
Insurance Required. 
 (a) Each Grantor will keep the Collateral continuously insured against such risks as are
customarily insured against by businesses of like size and type engaged in the same or similar operations. 
 (b) Each
insurance policy obtained in satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9(a): 
 (i) may be provided by blanket
policies now or hereafter maintained by each or any Grantor or by the Borrower; 
 (ii) shall be issued by such insurer (or
insurers) as shall be financially responsible and of recognized standing; 
 (iii) shall be in such form and have such
provisions (including, without limitation, the loss payable clause, the wavier of subrogation clause, the deductible amount, if any, and the standard mortgagee endorsement clause) as are generally considered standard provisions for the type of
insurance involved. 
 (iv) shall prohibit cancellation or substantial modification, termination or lapse in coverage by the
insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, except for non-payment of premium, as to which such policies shall provide for at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the
Collateral Agent; and 
 (v) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all insurance policies where applicable under
Section 9(a) carried on the Collateral shall name the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as second loss payee and the Collateral Agent and Holders as parties insured thereunder in respect of any claim for payment.








 (c) Prior to expiration of any such policy, such Grantor shall furnish the Collateral
Agent with evidence that the policy or certificate has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required by this Security Agreement. 
 (d) Each Grantor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney
(and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item or payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance
and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, however, that the powers pursuant to such appointment shall be exercisable only
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. 
 11. Rights and Remedies Upon Event of
Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the following rights and remedies on behalf of the Secured Parties in addition to any rights and remedies set forth elsewhere in
the Indenture, this Security Agreement or any other Note Document, all of which may be exercised with or, if allowed by law, without notice to a Grantor: 
 (a) All of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or under other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and none of which shall be exclusive, to the extent permitted by
law, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in the Indenture, this Security Agreement or any other Note Document; 
 (b) The right to foreclose the Liens and security interests created under this Security Agreement by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; 
 (c) The right to (i) enter upon the premises of a Grantor through self-help and without judicial process, without first obtaining a
final judgment or giving such Grantor notice or opportunity for a hearing on the validity of the Collateral Agent’s claim and without any obligation to pay rent to such Grantor, or any other place or places where any Collateral is located and
kept, and remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of the Collateral Agent or any agent of the Collateral Agent, for such time as the Collateral Agent may desire, in order effectively to collect or liquidate the Collateral, (ii) require
such Grantor or any bailee or other agent of such Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and
(iii) notify any or all Persons who have possession of or control over any Collateral of the occurrence of any Event of Default and other appropriate circumstances, and exercise control over and take possession or custody of any or all
Collateral in the possession, custody or control of such other Persons; 
 (d) The right to (i) exercise all of a
Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments, Supporting Obligations and General Intangibles (collectively, “Payment Collateral”), including the right to demand 








 
payment thereof and enforce payment, by legal proceedings or otherwise; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew all or any Payment Collateral
or any legal proceedings pertaining thereto; (iii) discharge and release all or any Payment Collateral; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds constituting Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign a
Grantor’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy, notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in any action or proceeding adverse to any obligor under any Payment Collateral or otherwise in connection with any
Payment Collateral; (vi) endorse the name of a Grantor upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to any Collateral; (vii) use the information recorded on
or contained on a Grantor’s internet website or otherwise in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any Collateral to which a Grantor has access; (viii) open such Grantor’s mail and collect any
and all amounts due to such Grantor from any Account Debtors or other obligor in respect of Payment Collateral; (ix) take over such Grantor’s post office boxes or make other arrangements as the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, deems necessary to receive such Grantor’s mail, including notifying the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Grantor’s mail to such address as the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
may designate; (x) notify any or all Account Debtors or other obligor on any Payment Collateral that such Payment Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that Collateral Agent has a
security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that the Collateral Agent may at any time give such notice to an Account Debtor that is a department, agency or authority of the United States government); each Grantor
hereby agrees that any such notice, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, may (but need not) be sent on such Grantor’s stationery, in which event such Grantor shall co-sign such notice with the Collateral Agent if requested to do so
by the Collateral Agent; and (xi) do all acts and things and execute all documents necessary, in Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to collect the Payment Collateral; and 
 (e) The right to sell all or any Collateral in its then existing condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at
such time or times, at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, with or without representations and warranties, all as the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may
deem advisable. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use a Grantor’s premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the
Collateral Agent may see fit. The Collateral Agent may, if it deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of such postponed or adjourned sale, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against prior parties or to marshal any Collateral for the
benefit of any Person. The Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties is hereby granted an irrevocable fully paid license or other right (including each Grantor’s rights under any license or any franchise agreement), each of which
shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Security Agreement, to use, without charge, each of the labels, patents, copyrights, names, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, 








 
or any property of a similar nature owned or licensed by any Grantor, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and
selling any Collateral. If any of the Collateral shall require repairs, maintenance, preparation or the like, or is in process or other unfinished state, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to perform such repairs,
maintenance, preparation, processing or completion of manufacturing for the purpose of putting the same in such saleable form as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate, but the Collateral Agent shall have the right to sell or dispose of the
Collateral without such processing and no Grantor shall have any claim against the Collateral Agent for the value that may have been added to such Collateral with such processing. In addition, each Grantor agrees that in the event notice is
necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to such Grantor in the manner specified herein ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of any of the Collateral or prior to the date after which any private sale or other disposition
of the Collateral will be made shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to such Grantor. All notice is hereby waived with respect to any of the Collateral which threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market. The Collateral Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, free from any right of redemption which is hereby expressly waived by such Grantor and, in lieu of actual payment
of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of certain of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state law, and may be otherwise delayed or adversely affected in effecting any sale by reason of present or future restrictions thereon imposed by governmental authorities (“Affected
Collateral”), and that as a consequence of such prohibitions and restrictions the Collateral Agent may be compelled (i) to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire Affected Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or (ii) to seek regulatory approval of any proposed sale or sales, or (iii) to limit the amount
of Affected Collateral sold to any Person or group. Each Grantor agrees and acknowledges that private sales so made may be at prices and upon terms less favorable to such Grantor than if such Affected Collateral was sold either at public sales or at
private sales not subject to other regulatory restrictions, and that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Affected Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Grantor or any other Person to register or
otherwise qualify them under or exempt them from any applicable restriction, even if such Grantor or other Person would agree to register or otherwise qualify or exempt such Affected Collateral so as to permit a public sale under the Securities Act
or applicable state law. Each Grantor further agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that the use of private sales made under the foregoing circumstances to dispose of Affected Collateral shall be deemed to be dispositions in a
commercially reasonable manner. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that a ready market may not exist for Affected Collateral that is not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system. 
 The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses
(including all Attorneys’ Costs) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of all Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of 








 
Section 406 of the Indenture. Each Grantor shall be liable to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall pay to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand any deficiency which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral. 
 12. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Grantor’s attorney-in-fact for the purposes of
carrying out the provisions of this Security Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with
an interest; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall have and may exercise rights under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power: 
 (a) 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; 
 (b) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;

 (c) to endorse such Grantor’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to or constituting
proceeds of the Collateral which comes into the Collateral Agent’s possession or the Collateral Agent’s control, and deposit the same to the account of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on account and for
payment of the Secured Obligations; 
 (d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the
Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to any of the Collateral; and 

(e) to execute, in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral provided for herein, any endorsement, assignments, or
other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect thereto. 
 13. Reinstatement. The granting of a security
interest in the Collateral and the other provisions hereof shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured
Party or is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had
not been made. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Security Agreement in any manner. 
 14. Certain Waivers by the Grantors. Each Grantor waives to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) any right to require any
Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured 








 
Obligations to (x) proceed against any Person or entity, including without limitation any Grantor, (y) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral or
other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or (z) pursue any other remedy in its power; (b) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of
the liability of any other Person or entity, (c) any right of subrogation, and (d) any right to enforce any remedy which any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any other
Person and any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent and the Trustee
without notice (except notice required by applicable law or the Indenture) or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, under the Indenture or under the other Note Documents from time to time to: (i) take and hold security, other
than the Collateral herein described, for the payment of such Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Collateral herein described or any part thereof or any such other security; and (ii) apply such
Collateral or other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in its discretion may determine. 
 The Collateral Agent may at any time deliver (without representation, recourse or warranty) the Collateral or any part thereof to a Grantor and the receipt thereof by such Grantor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral
so delivered, and the Collateral Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor. 
 15.
Continued Powers. Until the termination of this Security Agreement, the power of sale and other rights, powers and remedies granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and
may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, be exercised by the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof may have become
barred by any statute of limitations or that any part of the liability of any Grantor may have ceased. 
 16. Other
Rights. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Security Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party under the Indenture or any other Note Document or by virtue of any statute or rule of law. Any forbearance or failure or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of the Secured Parties shall continue in full force and effect
until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
 17. Limitation on
Duty in Respect of Collateral. (a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee will have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in
the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any








 
Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good
faith or by reason of any act or omission by the Collateral Agent pursuant to instructions from the Collateral Agent, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security
interest in the Collateral. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by
operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or
sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the
Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. 
 (b) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on
Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the
Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Grantors or
other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iii) to exercise collection remedies against Grantors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use
of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (iv) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (v) to contact other
Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vi) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether
or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (vii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or
that match buyers and sellers of assets, (viii) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (ix) to disclaim disposition warranties, including, without limitation, any warranties of title, (x) to purchase insurance
or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral, or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (xi) to the
extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor
acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being specifically referred to in this Section. 
 18. Special Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent 







 The following provisions shall govern the Collateral Agent’s rights, powers, obligations and duties
under this Security Agreement and the other Note Documents, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: 
 (a) With
respect to this Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are specifically set forth in this Security Agreement. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Security
Agreement. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent shall not be personally liable or accountable to any Person, under any circumstances
except for its own grossly negligent action, grossly negligent failure to act or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall take any action permitted to be taken by it hereunder at the direction of the Trustee, and the Collateral Agent shall not
be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Trustee; provided the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or pursuant to any
written instruction delivered in accordance with the provisions hereof if the Collateral Agent shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised in writing by counsel, that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise
contrary to law. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, written
instrument, or notice reasonably believed by it to be genuine and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties and need not investigate any fact or matter in any such document as long as the Collateral Agent has otherwise
satisfied its obligations under this Security Agreement. 
 (d) The Collateral Agent shall receive as compensation for its
services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed to between it and the Company on or before the date hereof, and the Trustee shall not be liable for the payment of such fees. 
 (e) The Company and the Grantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, protect, save and hold the Collateral Agent, its officers,
directors, shareholders and employees (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against any and all loss, liability, obligation, damage, claim, penalty, tax (excluding any taxes on the Collateral Agent on, or measured by, any
compensation received by the Collateral Agent) or expense of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in connection with this Security Agreement and each of the other Note Documents, including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers or duties hereunder (each of the foregoing, a “Claim”); provided, however, the Grantors shall not be required
to indemnify, protect, save and hold any Indemnified Person harmless from any Claim (or portion thereof) resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part. Upon the Collateral Agent becoming aware of the occurrence of an event that
results in any loss, liability or expense to an Indemnified Person, the Collateral Agent shall promptly send written notice thereof to the Grantors. The indemnities contained in this Section 18 shall survive the resignation or
termination of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this Security Agreement. 







 (f) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation under this Security Agreement or in relation to this Security Agreement, at the request, order or direction of the Trustee or any other Person unless such requesting party shall have first offered the Collateral Agent security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against any and all costs, expenses (including Attorney Costs) and liabilities that may be incurred herein or thereby and such requesting party so instructs the Collateral Agent. 
 (g) The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent hereunder upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Grantors and the Trustee,
such resignation to become effective only upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent by the Trustee. The Trustee shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the 90-day period referred to
above. If no successor Collateral Agent is named as provided herein then the Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of its successor. 
 (h) Prior to the occurrence of a Default, the Company (with the written consent of the Trustee (acting with or without the consent of the
Company) is authorized to remove the Collateral Agent hereunder and appoint a successor. Following the occurrence of any Default, the Trustee acting alone is authorized to remove the Collateral Agent hereunder and appoint a successor. No such
removal in either case shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. No Grantor shall terminate this Security Agreement without the written consent of the Trustee. 
 19. Anti-Marshaling Provisions. The right is hereby given by each Grantor to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, to make releases (whether in whole or in part) of all or any part of the Collateral agreeable to the Collateral Agent without notice to, or the consent, approval or agreement of other parties and interests, including junior lienors, which
releases shall not impair in any manner the validity of or priority of the Liens and security interests in the remaining Collateral conferred hereunder, nor release any Grantor from personal liability for the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the
existence of any other security interest in the Collateral held by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Collateral shall be
subjected to the remedies provided in this Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law, the Indenture, this
Security Agreement or any other Note Document. 
 20. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement and each Joinder
Agreement, together with the Indenture and the other Note Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior
negotiations, agreements and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as contained in such documents. The express terms hereof and of the Joinder Agreements control and supersede any course
of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof or thereof. Neither this Security Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented,
discharged, 








 
canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Indenture. 
 21. Third Party Reliance. Each Grantor hereby consents and agrees that all issuers of or obligors in respect of any Collateral, and
all securities intermediaries, warehousemen, bailees, public officials and other Persons having any interest in, possession of, control over or right, privilege, duty or discretion in respect of, any Collateral shall be entitled to accept the
provisions hereof and of the Joinder Agreements as conclusive evidence of the right of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Collateral, notwithstanding any other
notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Grantor or any other Person to any of such Persons. 
 22.
Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall be permitted to assign this Security Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any interest herein or therein or, except as expressly permitted herein or in the Indenture, in the Collateral
or any part thereof or interest therein. All references herein to the Collateral Agent and to the Secured Parties (including Holders of Securities) shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees from time to time
of the Secured Obligations. 
 23. Release of Liens. 
 (a) If any part of the Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the requirements of the Indenture, then
in each such case, such Collateral shall automatically be released from the Liens and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement. Upon any Grantor’s request, the
Collateral Agent shall (upon receipt of a written certification of an officer of the Company, which states that the Collateral Agent has received all documents, if any, required by the Trust Indenture Act (if the Trust Indenture Act is then
applicable to the Indenture) and the Indenture) promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to terminate of
record, or otherwise give appropriate notice of the termination of, any Lien conferred hereunder in connection with the making of such sales, dispositions or other transfers; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take
any action or execute or deliver any document if doing so would violate the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Indenture. 
 (b) If all or substantially all of the Collateral is required to be released in accordance with the Indenture with the consent of the Holders, then in each such case, at the request and expense of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent, having
received the consent of the requisite Holders as required under the Indenture, will (upon receipt of a written certification of a Responsible Officer of the Company that the Trustee has received all documents, if any, required by the Trust Indenture
Act (if the Trust Indenture Act is then applicable to the Indenture) and the Indenture) duly release from the security interest created hereby and, with respect to Collateral in the physical possession of the Collateral 








 
Agent, deliver to such Grantor (without recourse and without representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so released
and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Security Agreement, and execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that such Grantor shall reasonably
request to terminate of record, or otherwise give appropriate notice of the termination of, any Lien conferred hereunder in connection with such release of all or substantially all of the Collateral; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall
not be required to take any action or execute or deliver any document if doing so would violate the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Indenture. 
 24. Severability. The provisions of this Security Agreement are independent of and separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Security Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 

25. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Security Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Grantor against whom enforcement is sought. 
 26. Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 12, this Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and all
obligations of the Grantors hereunder (excluding those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party when the Second Priority Liens have
been released, in whole, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1505 of the Indenture. Upon such termination of this Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, at the request and sole expense of the Grantors,
promptly deliver to the Grantors such termination statements and take such further actions as the Grantors may reasonably request to terminate of record, or otherwise to give appropriate notice of the termination of, any Lien conferred hereunder.

 27. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 106 of
the Indenture. 
 28. Joinder. Each Person who shall at any time execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Joinder
Agreement (including each Person required to deliver a Joinder Agreement pursuant to Section 913(b) of the Indenture) shall thereupon irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and obligated hereunder as a Grantor and
shall have thereupon pursuant to Section 2 hereof granted a security interest in and collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all Collateral in which it has at its Applicable Date or thereafter
acquires any interest or the power to transfer, and all references in the Indenture, this Security Agreement and the other Note Documents to the Grantors or to the parties to this Security Agreement shall be deemed to include such Person as a
Grantor hereunder. Each Joinder Agreement shall be accompanied by the Supplemental Schedules referred to therein, appropriately completed with information relating to the Grantor executing such Joinder Agreement and its property. Each of the
applicable Schedules attached hereto shall 








 
be deemed amended and supplemented without further action by such information reflected on the Supplemental Schedules attached to each Joinder Agreement.

 29. Governing Law; Waivers. 
 (a) THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND EACH JOINDER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH
STATE; PROVIDED THAT (i) WITH RESPECT TO THOSE INSTANCES IN WHICH THE APPLICABLE CHOICE OF LAWS RULES OF SUCH STATE, INCLUDING SECTION 9-301 OF THE UCC, REQUIRE THAT THE MANNER OF CREATION OF A SECURITY INTEREST IN SPECIFIC COLLATERAL OR THE
