 E. Perfection of

case, shall at all times constitute a first priority, perfected Lien pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Other Documents or other security documents as any Agent shall reasonably request. 

3. Release of Lien; Return of Pledge Equity Interest. In connection with the consummation of a Qualified IPO and the conversion

IPO, the Permitted Holders shall deliver such certificates to Administrative Agent together with duly endorsed assignments in blank, or (y) ASV’s Equity Interests are not evidenced by physical certificates or are held by a securities
intermediary, ASV and the Permitted Holders shall take such actions as requested by Agents to ensure the pledge of the Equity Interests is perfected and is a first priority Lien under Applicable Law, including without limitation, delivery by the
Permitted Holders of a securities account control agreement executed by any applicable securities intermediary, which actions described in clauses (x) and (y) above shall be completed to Agents’ reasonable satisfaction (1) within
five (5) Business Days following the initial offering of the Qualified IPO with respect to no less than 51% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of ASV (the “Initial Pledge”), and (2) within fifteen

Pledge”). As used herein, the term “Greenshoe Option Period” shall mean a forty-five (45) day period commencing promptly after the initial offering of the Qualified IPO, during which underwriters of the Qualified IPO may

the Equity Interests pledged to the Administrative Agent in connection with the Subsequent Pledge and (2) in preparation for the sale of such Equity Interests, within five (5) Business Days following a request from the Permitted Holders,
