with the same force and effect as if made on the date hereof and (c) as of the date hereof, the New Subsidiary is “located” (as such term is used in Article 9-307 of the UCC) in Spain. 

Section 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the
signature of the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or by email shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed
counterpart of this Supplement.

attached hereto is a copy of a fully completed Perfection Certificate executed by the New Subsidiary. The information contained in the Perfection Certificate delivered by the New Subsidiary is correct and complete in all material respects as of the
date hereof. The information set forth in Schedule I is hereby added to the information set forth in the corresponding exhibits to the Agreement. 












 Section 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect. 
 Section 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
THAT LOCAL LAW GOVERNS THE CREATION, PERFECTION, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY INTERESTS. 
 Section 7. In case any one or
more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

Section 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.1 of the Agreement.

 Section 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement as required by Section 7.6(e) of the Agreement. 

Section 10. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Agreement, the Liens created thereby and the rights, remedies,
duties and obligations provided for therein and herein are subject in all respects to the provisions of each Intercreditor Agreement (if any) and, to the extent provided therein, the applicable ABL Security Documents (as defined in the applicable
Intercreditor Agreement). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Agreement, this Supplement and any Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall control. 

Section 11. It is expressly understood and agreed that U.S. Bank National Association is entering into this Supplement solely in its
capacity as Collateral Agent as appointed pursuant to the Indenture, and shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, immunities and protections under the Indenture as if such rights, privileges, immunities and protections were set forth
herein. 
 Section 12. The parties agree that the transaction described herein may be conducted and related documents may be stored by
electronic means. Copies, telecopies, facsimiles, electronic files and other reproductions of original executed documents shall be deemed to be authentic and valid counterparts of such original documents for all purposes, including the filing of any
claim, action or suit in the appropriate court of law. All notices, approvals, consents, requests and any communications hereunder must be in writing (provided that any communication sent to the 












 
Collateral Agent hereunder must be in the form of a document that is signed manually or by way of a digital signature provided by DocuSign or Adobe Sign (or such other digital signature provider
as specified in writing to Collateral Agent by the authorized representative), in English. The New Subsidiary agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of using digital signatures and electronic methods to submit communications to the
Collateral Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Collateral Agent acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. 

Section 13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any Indenture Document or any ABL Document (as such term is defined in
each Intercreditor Agreement (if any)), the Grantors shall not be required to act or refrain from acting (a) pursuant to any Indenture Document solely with respect to any Intercreditor Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under
any ABL Document, or (b) pursuant to any ABL Document solely with respect to any Noteholder First Lien Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any Indenture Document. For avoidance of doubt and for the purposes of this
paragraph only, the terms Indenture Document and ABL Document do not include any Intercreditor Agreement.
