 ARTICLE II 
 GRANT OF SECURITY AND OBLIGATIONS 
 SECTION 2.1. Grant of Security
Interest. As collateral security for the payment and performance in full of all the Obligations, each Pledgor hereby pledges and grants to the Trustee for its benefit and the benefit of the Noteholders, a lien on and security interest in all of
the right, title and interest of such Pledgor in, to and under the following property, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):

 (i) all Securities Collateral; 
 (ii) all rights with respect to the Securities Collateral and books and records relating to the Securities Collateral; and

 (iii) all Proceeds of each of the foregoing. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the security interest created by this
Agreement shall not extend to, and the term “Pledged Collateral” shall not include, at all times, (i) any Excluded Assets and the Pledgors shall from time to time at the request of the Trustee give written notice to the Trustee
identifying in reasonable detail the Excluded Assets and shall provide to the Trustee such other information regarding the Excluded Assets as the Trustee may reasonably request and (ii) in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the
Securities Act (or any successor regulation) requires the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of any Pledgor because such Subsidiary’s Capital Interests are Pledged Collateral, the portion (or, if necessary,
all) of such Capital Interests necessary to eliminate such filing requirement will automatically be deemed released and to not have been part of the Pledged Collateral and the Company and the Trustee shall amend or modify this Agreement as necessary
to evidence such release, provided that in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or
regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s Capital Interests to secure the Obligations without the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Capital Interests of such Subsidiary shall
automatically be deemed to be a part of the Pledged Collateral. From and after the Closing Date, no Pledgor shall permit to become effective in any document creating, governing or providing for any permit, license or agreement a provision that would
prohibit the creation of a Lien on such permit, license or agreement in favor of the Trustee unless such Pledgor believes, in its reasonable judgment, that such prohibition is usual and customary in transactions of such type. 
  

 5 








 SECTION 2.2. Filings. (a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Trustee at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction (i) any financing statements and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction
for the filing of any financing statement or amendment relating to the Pledged Collateral, including whether such Pledgor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Pledgor, and
(ii) any financing or continuation statements or other documents without the signature of such Pledgor where permitted by law; it being understood the Trustee is under no obligation to make or monitor any such filings. Each Pledgor agrees to
provide all information described in the immediately preceding sentence to the Trustee promptly upon request by the Trustee. 
 (b) Each Pledgor hereby ratifies its authorization for the Trustee to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements relating to the Pledged Collateral if filed prior to the date hereof. 
 SECTION 2.3. Second Priority Nature of Liens. In the event any of the Pledged Collateral is pledged to a holder of First Priority
Lien Debt, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement shall be, subject to any Permitted Liens, a second priority lien on and security interest in the Pledged
Collateral (second only to the lien securing the First Priority Lien Obligations and any Permitted Liens) and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Trustee hereunder will be subject to the provisions of any intercreditor agreement with or for
the benefit of such holder of First Priority Lien Debt. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such intercreditor agreement and this Agreement, the terms of such intercreditor agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in the event any of the Pledged Collateral is pledged to a holder of First Priority Lien Debt, (i) the requirements of this Agreement to endorse, sign or deliver Pledged Collateral to the Trustee shall be deemed
satisfied by endorsement, assignment or delivery of such Pledged Collateral to the Collateral Agent (as bailee for the Trustee) and (ii) any endorsement, assignment or delivery to the Collateral Agent (as bailee for the Trustee) shall be deemed
an endorsement, assignment or delivery to the Trustee for all purposes hereunder. 
 ARTICLE III 
 PERFECTION; SUPPLEMENTS; FURTHER ASSURANCES; 
 USE OF PLEDGED COLLATERAL 
 SECTION 3.1. Delivery of Certificated Securities
Collateral. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral in existence on the date hereof have been delivered to the Trustee in suitable form for
transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and that the Trustee has a perfected security interest therein prior to all other Liens on such Securities Collateral except for Liens, if any,
securing the First Priority Lien Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing Securities Collateral acquired by such Pledgor after the date hereof shall promptly (but in any
event within five days after receipt thereof by such Pledgor) be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Trustee pursuant hereto. All certificated Securities Collateral shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied
by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have the right, at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to endorse,
assign or otherwise transfer to or to register in the name of the Trustee or any of its nominees or endorse for negotiation any or all of the Securities Collateral, without any indication that such Securities Collateral is subject to the security
interest hereunder. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates representing or evidencing Securities Collateral for certificates of
smaller or larger denominations. 
  

 6 








 SECTION 3.2. Perfection of Uncertificated Securities Collateral. Each Pledgor
represents and warrants that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in all uncertificated Pledged Securities pledged by it hereunder that are in existence on the date hereof. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Securities
are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) cause the issuer to execute and deliver to the Trustee an acknowledgment of the pledge of such
Pledged Securities substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto or such other form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, (ii) if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Securities, cause such
pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the Trustee the right to transfer such Pledged Securities
under the terms hereof, (iii) within 90 days, provide to the Trustee an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming such pledge and perfection thereof, and (iv) after the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, (A) cause the organizational documents of each such issuer that is a Subsidiary of the Company to be amended to provide that such Pledged Securities shall be treated as “securities” for
purposes of the UCC and (B) cause such Pledged Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2; provided that the Trustee shall have no obligations to make any
request specified in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 3.2 unless instructed to do so by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 SECTION 3.3. Financing Statements and Other Filings; Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest. Each Pledgor represents and
warrants that all financing statements, agreements, instruments and other documents necessary to perfect the security interest granted by it to the Trustee in respect of the Pledged Collateral have been delivered to the Trustee in completed and, to
the extent necessary or appropriate, duly executed form for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule 7 to the Perfection Certificate. Each Pledgor agrees that at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors,
such Pledgor will maintain the security interest created by this Agreement in the Pledged Collateral as a perfected security interest subject only to Permitted Collateral Liens. 
  

 7 








 SECTION 3.4. Joinder of Additional Pledgors. The Pledgors shall cause each
Subsidiary of the Company which, from time to time, after the date hereof shall be required to pledge any Capital Interests in Restricted Subsidiaries to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture,
to execute and deliver to the Trustee (i) a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto within thirty (30) days of the date on which it was acquired or created and (ii) a Perfection Certificate, in each
case, within thirty (30) days of the date on which it was acquired or created, and upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if
originally named as a Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Pledgor as a party to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.5. Supplements; Further
Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and/or deliver to the Trustee such additional financing statements, amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as necessary or appropriate or as
the Trustee may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or appropriate in order to create, perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Trustee
hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and confirm the validity, enforceability and priority of the Trustee’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral or permit the Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights,
powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral, including the filing of financing statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this Agreement) under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in
effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interest created hereby, wherever required by law to perfect, continue and maintain the validity, enforceablity and priority of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided
herein and to preserve the other rights and interests granted to the Trustee hereunder, as against third parties, with respect to the Pledged Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee may institute and maintain,
in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as may be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at
the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 
 Each Pledgor
represents, warrants and covenants as follows: 
 SECTION 4.1. Title. Except for the security interest granted to the
Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Liens, such Pledgor owns and has rights and, as to Pledged Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, will own and have rights in
each item of Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. 
  

 8 








 SECTION 4.2. Validity of Security Interest. The security interest in and Lien on the
Pledged Collateral granted to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all the Pledged Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, and
(b) subject to the filings and other actions described in Schedule 7 to the Perfection Certificate (to the extent required to be listed on the schedules to the Perfection Certificate as of the date this representation is made or deemed
made), a perfected security interest in all the Pledged Collateral. The security interest and Lien granted to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on the Pledged Collateral will at all times constitute
a perfected, continuing security interest therein, prior to all other Liens on the Pledged Collateral except for Permitted Collateral Liens. 
 SECTION 4.3. Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the
security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Trustee and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Trustee or any other
Secured Party other than Permitted Collateral Liens. There is no agreement, order, judgment or decree, and no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral
or otherwise impair or conflict with such Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Trustee hereunder. 
 SECTION 4.4.
Other Financing Statements. It has not filed, nor authorized any third party to file (nor will there be), any valid or effective financing statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any
jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Pledged Collateral, except such as have been filed in favor of the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or in favor of any holder of a Permitted Collateral Lien with respect
to such Permitted Collateral Lien or financing statements or public notices relating to the termination statements listed on Schedule 9 to the Perfection Certificate. No Pledgor shall execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any public
office any financing statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to any Pledged Collateral, except financing statements and other statements and instruments filed or to be
filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted by such Pledgor to the holder of the Permitted Collateral Liens. 
 SECTION 4.5. Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization. 
 (a) No Pledgor will
effect any change (i) to its legal name, (ii) in its identity or organizational structure, (iii) in its organizational identification number, if any, or (iv) in its jurisdiction of organization (in each case, including by merging
with or into any other entity, reorganizing, dissolving, liquidating, reorganizing or organizing in any other jurisdiction), unless (A) it shall have given the Trustee promptly but in any event within 10 days after such change, written notice
clearly describing such change and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Trustee may reasonably request and (B) it shall take all action necessary to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Pledged Collateral. 
  

 9 








 (b) If any Pledgor fails to provide information to the Trustee about such changes on a
timely basis, the Trustee shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Pledgor’s property constituting Pledged Collateral, for which the Trustee needed to have information
relating to such changes. The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Trustee of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Trustee to
search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor. 
 SECTION 4.6. Due Authorization
and Issuance. All of the Pledged Securities existing on the date hereof have been, and to the extent any Pledged Securities are hereafter issued, such Pledged Securities will be, upon such issuance, duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid
and non-assessable to the extent applicable. There is no amount or other obligation owing by any Pledgor to any issuer of the Pledged Securities in exchange for or in connection with the issuance of the Pledged Securities or any Pledgor’s
status as a partner or a member of any issuer of the Pledged Securities. 
 SECTION 4.7. Consents, etc. In the event
that the Trustee desires to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other person
therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee, such Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to assist and aid the Trustee to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights
and powers. 
 SECTION 4.8. Pledged Collateral. All information set forth herein, including the schedules hereto, and
all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to any Secured Party, including the Perfection Certificate and the schedules thereto, in connection with this Agreement, in each case, relating to the Pledged

 (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Securities
Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms or purposes hereof, the Indenture or any other document evidencing the Obligations; provided, however, that no Pledgor shall in any event exercise such
rights in any manner which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business, operations or prospects, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary
course of business, of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one entity; 
 (ii) Each Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive and retain, and to utilize free and clear of the Lien hereof, any and all Distributions, but only if and to the extent made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; provided, however, that any and all
such Distributions consisting of rights or interests in the form of securities shall be forthwith delivered to the Trustee to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of itself and the
Noteholders, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor and be promptly (but in any event within five days after receipt thereof) delivered to the Trustee as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement). 
 (b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall be deemed without
further action or formality to have granted to each Pledgor all necessary consents relating to voting rights and shall, if necessary, upon written request of any Pledgor and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, from time to time
execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to such Pledgor all such instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request in order to permit such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant
to Section 5.2(a)(i) hereof and to receive the Distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(ii) hereof. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default: 
 (i) All rights of each Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) hereof shall immediately cease and
all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Trustee, which shall thereupon have the sole right (but not an obligation) to exercise such voting and other consensual rights. 
  

 11 








 (ii) All rights of each Pledgor to receive Distributions which it would
otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(ii) hereof shall immediately cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Trustee, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold
as Pledged Collateral such Distributions. 
 (d) Each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, from time to time execute
and deliver to the Trustee appropriate instruments as necessary or as the Trustee may request in order to permit the Trustee to exercise the voting and other rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i)
hereof and to receive all Distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 5.2(a)(ii) hereof. 
 (e)
All Distributions which are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 5.2(a)(ii) hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall
immediately be paid over to the Trustee as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). 
 SECTION 5.3. Defaults, etc. Such Pledgor is not in default in the payment of any portion of any mandatory capital contribution, if any, required to be made under any agreement to which such Pledgor is a party relating to the Pledged
Securities pledged by it, and such Pledgor is not in violation of any other provisions of any such agreement to which such Pledgor is a party, or otherwise in default or violation thereunder. No Securities Collateral pledged by such Pledgor is
subject to any defense, offset or counterclaim, nor have any of the foregoing been asserted or alleged against such Pledgor by any person with respect thereto, and as of the date hereof, there are no certificates, instruments, documents or other
writings (other than the organizational documents and certificates representing such Pledged Securities that have been delivered to the Trustee) which evidence any Pledged Securities of such Pledgor. 
 SECTION 5.4. Certain Agreements of Pledgors As Issuers and Holders of Capital Interests. 
 (a) In the case of each Pledgor which is an issuer of Securities Collateral, such Pledgor agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
relating to the Securities Collateral issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it. 
 (b) In the case of each Pledgor which is a partner, shareholder or member, as the case may be, in a partnership, limited liability company or other entity, such Pledgor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable organizational
document to the pledge by each other Pledgor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Securities in such partnership, limited liability company or other entity and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the
transfer of such Pledged Securities to the Trustee or its nominee and to the substitution of the Trustee or its nominee as a substituted partner, shareholder or member in such partnership, limited liability company or other entity with all the
rights, powers and duties of a general partner, limited partner, shareholder or member, as the case may be.

 ARTICLE VI 
 REMEDIES 
 SECTION 6.1. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the Trustee may, but is under no obligation to, from time to time exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the
following remedies: 
 (i) Demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in
respect of the Pledged Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or
other obligation directly to the Trustee, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any
such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and shall promptly (but in no event
later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Trustee; 
 (ii) Retain and apply the
Distributions to the Obligations as provided in Article VII hereof; 
 (iii) Exercise any and all rights as
beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral; and 
 (iv) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, and the Trustee may also in its sole discretion,
without notice except as specified in Section 6.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any
of the Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Trustee may deem commercially reasonable. The Trustee or any other Secured Party or any of their
respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for
all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof payable by
such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Trustee shall not be obligated to
make any sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Trustee 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. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. 
  

 13 








 SECTION 6.2. Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the
extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private
sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or
modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. 
 SECTION 6.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims.
Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Trustee’s taking possession or the Trustee’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof,
including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Trustee’s rights hereunder and (iii) all
rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Trustee shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article VI in the
absence of a judicial determination of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right,
title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim
the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor. 
 SECTION
6.4. Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral. 
 (a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such
Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Trustee than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees
that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales. 
  

 14 








 (b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such
Securities Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Trustee than those
obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed
to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer
thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, for the
benefit of the Trustee, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any Federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole
cost and expense of the Pledgors. Each Pledgor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such qualification and compliance
to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect),
appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee
to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall furnish to the Trustee such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident
thereto as the Trustee from time to time may request, and shall indemnify and shall cause the issuer of the Securities Collateral to indemnify the Trustee and all others participating in the distribution of such Securities Collateral against all
claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission)
to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. 
  

 15 








 (d) If the Trustee determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities
Collateral, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall from time to time furnish to the Trustee all such information as necessary or as the Trustee may request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities
Collateral which may be sold by the Trustee as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 
 (e) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.4 will cause irreparable
injury to the Trustee and the other Secured Parties, that the Trustee and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section 6.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 SECTION 6.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 
 (a) No failure on the part of the Trustee to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Trustee in
exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Trustee be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available. 
 (b) In the event that the Trustee shall have instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Financing Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have
been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Trustee and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all
rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Trustee and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  

 16 








 ARTICLE VII 
 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS 
 SECTION 7.1. Application of Proceeds . The
proceeds received by the Trustee in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Trustee of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums
then held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Indenture. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 8.1. Concerning Trustee 
 (a) The Trustee has been appointed as Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The
actions of the Trustee hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Indenture and all rights, privileges, protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities of the Trustee thereunder are incorporated herein by reference. The Trustee shall have the
right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and
the Indenture. The Trustee may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Trustee may resign and a
successor Trustee may be appointed in the manner provided in the Indenture. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Trustee by a successor Trustee, that successor Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Agreement, and the retiring Trustee shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Trustee’s resignation, the provisions
hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Trustee. 
 (b) The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the
Trustee, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Trustee nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking
action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Trustee or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or
(ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral. 
 (c) The
Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person,
and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. 
  

 17 








 (d) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Trustee
under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or
instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control. 
 (e) The Trustee acknowledges and agrees that any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Pledgor shall be required to act or refrain from acting (A) in a manner that
is inconsistent with the terms or (B) with respect to any Pledged Collateral in any manner that would result in a default under the terms and provisions of any First Priority Lien Security Document and (ii) any action required to be taken
by a Pledgor (or omission to act) pursuant to the terms of any First Priority Lien Security Document in respect of Pledged Collateral will not put such Pledgor in violation of or result in a default under the terms of this Agreement or the
Indenture; provided, however, that (x) other than as required by the Indenture, this clause (ii) shall in no event require the release of any Liens securing the Obligations or (y) this clause (ii) shall not impair
the right of the Trustee and the Noteholders to be secured by any Collateral. 
 (f) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in
the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto and 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 be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it
accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in
good faith. 
 (g) 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 of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission
constitutes negligence, bad faith or wilful 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. 
 (h) The Trustee shall have no duty to act outside of the United States in respect of any Collateral located in any jurisdiction other than the United States. 
  

 18 








 SECTION 8.2. Trustee May Perform; Trustee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor
shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement, the Trustee may do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Trustee shall in no event
be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
Any and all amounts so expended by the Trustee shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.7 of the Indenture. Neither the provisions of this Section 8.2 nor any action taken by the Trustee
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby
appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Trustee’s discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument consistent with the terms of the Indenture, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Trustee shall not be obligated to and shall have no
liability to such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby
ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. 
 SECTION 8.3. Continuing Security
Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and
remedies of the Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Trustee and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest
herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and
such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Indenture. 
 SECTION 8.4. Termination; Release. (a) The Pledged Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture. Upon termination hereof or any release of Pledged Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Trustee shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign,
transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Trustee except as to the fact that the Trustee has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral to be released (in the case of a
release) as may be in possession of the Trustee and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC 3 termination
statements or releases) provided to it acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be; and 
  

 19 








 (b) Upon the request of the Company, any Pledged Collateral shall be immediately released
in accordance with Section 10.3(f) of the Indenture. 
 SECTION 8.5. Modification in Writing. No amendment,
modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and unless in
writing and signed by the Trustee. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Obligations, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor
in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 SECTION
8.6. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Indenture, as to any Pledgor,
addressed to it at the address of the Company set forth in the Indenture and as to the Trustee, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Indenture, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice
to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 6.6. 
 SECTION 8.7. Governing Law,
Waiver of Jury Trial. Section 12.8 of the Indenture is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof. 
 SECTION 8.8. Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 8.9. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 SECTION 8.10. Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a
day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made
on such other day. 
  

 20 








 SECTION 8.11. No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition. Such Pledgor shall not
be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Indenture, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by
reason of the payment of any Tax on the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. 
 SECTION 8.12. No Claims Against
Trustee. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Trustee, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the
making of any claim against the Trustee in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof. 
 SECTION 8.13. No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Financing Document, nor the exercise by the Trustee of
any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or
from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Trustee or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such
Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Trustee or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on
the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or the other Financing Documents, or under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
neither the Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Pledged Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Trustee or any other Secured
Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Pledged Collateral hereunder. The obligations of each
Pledgor contained in this Section 8.13 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Pledgor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Financing Documents. 
 SECTION 8.14. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

 (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the
like of any other Pledgor; 
 (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Financing

Section 3.4 of the Pledge Agreement. The New Pledgor hereby agrees to be bound as a Pledgor party to the Pledge Agreement by all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Pledge Agreement to the same extent that it would
have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Pledge Agreement on the date of the Pledge Agreement. The New Pledgor also hereby agrees to be bound as a party by all of the terms, covenants and conditions applicable to it set forth in the
Indenture to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Indenture on the execution date of the Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Pledgor hereby grants and pledges to the
Trustee, as collateral security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, a Lien on and security interest in, all of its right, title and
interest in, to and under the Pledged Collateral and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Pledgor thereunder. The New Pledgor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to
the Pledgors contained in the Pledge Agreement and Articles IV and V of the Indenture.

 This
Joinder Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be
an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
