 (f) Such Pledgor will not sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge, grant a security
interest in or otherwise encumber any of the Pledged Collateral or any interest therein, or suffer any of the same to exist; and any sale, assignment, option, mortgage, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance or disposition of any nature

Pledgee (or its predecessor or successors, if any) as secured creditor. 
  
 (h) Each Pledgor shall give the Pledgee prompt notice of any written claim relating to the Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee a copy of each other demand, notice or document received by it
which may adversely affect the Pledgee’s interest in the Pledged Collateral promptly upon, but in any event within 10 days after, such Pledgor’s receipt thereof. 
  
 (i) No Pledgor shall withdraw as a general partner or limited partner of any Pledged Partnership or as a
member of any Pledged Limited Liability Company, or file or pursue or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, cause a dissolution or liquidation of or with respect to any Pledged Corporation, Pledged Partnership or Pledged Limited
Liability Company or seek a partition of any property of any Pledged Partnership or Pledged Limited Liability Company, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement. 
  
 (j) No Pledged Partnership or Pledged Liability Company shall amend or restate its partnership agreement,

 (k) No Pledgor shall (except as permitted by and subject to compliance with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents) change its
jurisdiction of organization, organize itself in an additional jurisdiction, change its type of entity, or merge or consolidate with or acquire any other Person until (i) it shall have given to the Pledgee not less than 30 days prior written notice

 actions (including, without limitation, the payment of all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in
connection with such filings) have been taken, in order to perfect (and maintain the perfection and priority of) the security interest granted hereby. 
  
 (l) No Pledgor shall move its chief executive office, principal place of business, or such location of records unless (i) it shall have
given to the Pledgee not less than 30 days prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Pledgee may reasonably request and (ii) with respect
to such new location, it shall have taken all action, reasonably satisfactory to the Pledgee, to maintain the security interest of the Pledgee in the Pledged Collateral and the priority intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and
in full force and effect. 
  
 (m) No Pledgor
shall change its legal name or assume or operate in any jurisdiction under any trade, fictitious or other name unless (i) it shall have given to the Pledgee not less than 30 days prior written notice of its commencing to do so, clearly describing
such new name and the jurisdictions in which such new name shall be used and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Pledgee may reasonably request and (ii) with respect to such new name, it shall have taken all reasonable
action, reasonably satisfactory to the Pledgee, to maintain the security interest of the Pledgee in the Pledged Collateral and the priority intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.

Partnership or Pledged Limited Liability Company hereby agrees to (i) register the pledge of such Ownership Interests in such Pledged Corporation, Pledged Partnership or Pledged Limited Liability Company’s books, and (ii) comply, without
further consent or authorization from the Person that pledged such Ownership Interests, with all instructions of the Pledgee that are given pursuant to a right or remedy granted under this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
  
 (o) Each Pledgor agrees to
authenticate and deliver to the Pledgee such financing statements, continuations, and amendments, in form reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee, as the Pledgee may from time to time reasonably request or as are necessary or desirable in the opinion
of the Pledgee to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, first-priority, perfected security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and security contemplated hereby, all in accordance with the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in any and all relevant jurisdictions or any other relevant law. Each Pledgor will pay any applicable filing fees and related expenses. Each Pledgor authorizes the Pledgee to file any such financing statements,
continuations, and amendments without the signature of such Pledgor. 
  
 7. Further Assurances; Supplements. 
  
 (a) Each Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, such Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or
desirable, or that the 







 Pledgee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (b) Each Pledgor will defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Liens of the Pledgee thereon against the claim of any Person and
will maintain and preserve such Liens and the priority of such Liens until the Lien Termination Date. 
  
 (c) Each Pledgor will, upon obtaining any additional Ownership Interests, pledge all such additional Ownership Interests (and certificates
or instruments representing Ownership Interests) and promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) deliver to the Pledgee a Supplement to Pledge and Security Agreement, duly executed by such Pledgor, in substantially the form of Annex
A hereto (a “Supplement to Pledge and Security Agreement”), identifying the additional Ownership Interests which are pledged pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), (b)(vii) and (c)(vii) of this Agreement;
provided that no Pledgor shall be required at any time to pledge hereunder (i) any promissory notes issued to such Pledgor by any Subsidiary of such Pledgor which is a Foreign Corporation, or (ii) if any Stock which is more than 65% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of any Foreign Corporation entitled to vote. 
  
 (d) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Pledgee to attach each Supplement to Pledge and Security Agreement to this Pledge and Security
Agreement and agrees that all Ownership Interests listed on any Supplement to Pledge and Security Agreement (including any schedule(s) thereto) delivered to the Pledgee shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (e) Each Pledgor will, at the request of the Pledgee,
deliver an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Pledgee, as to the validity and perfection of the security interest granted in the Pledged Collateral identified in any Supplement to Pledge and Security Agreement
(including any schedule(s) thereto) and the proceeds thereof. 
  
 (f) With respect to each Partnership Interest, each Pledgor shall provide each of the following to Pledgee at Pledgee’s request: 
  
 (i) such agreements, motions, and stipulations as are necessary for the entry of judgment against such
Pledgor for the purpose of obtaining a charging lien or charging order (each being referred to as a “Charging Order”) against the respective Pledged Partnership with respect to all Partnership Interests, as well as such other
documents and instruments as necessary to index each Charging Order in the state where such Pledged Partnership is organized and in all other jurisdictions as are necessary to enforce the Charging Order including, without limitation the state in
which the principal office of such Pledged Partnership is located; 







 (ii) such agreements, documents and instruments signed and delivered by the respective
Pledged Partnerships as are necessary to enter and enforce all Charging Orders; and 
  
 (iii) such agreements and acknowledgments of the other partners of the Pledged Partnerships which are necessary to enter and enforce each
and every Charging Order, including, if necessary or desirable, an amendment of the subject partnership agreement. 
  
 8. Voting Rights; Dividends. 
  
 (a) So long as no Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or Notified Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be continuing (and,
in the case of Section 8(a)(i) below, until written notice from the Pledgee, acting at the direction of the Majority Banks, to the Pledgors): 
  
 (i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any
part thereof; provided that no vote shall be cast or any consent, waiver or ratification given or any action taken which would violate, result in breach of any covenant contained in, or be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement,
any Secured Debt Document, or which would have the effect of materially impairing the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the position or interests of the Pledgee, acting at the direction of the Majority Banks, or any Secured
Creditor. All such rights of such Pledgor to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall cease in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and, except in the case of a Bankruptcy Default with respect to such Pledgor, the
Pledgee, acting at the direction of the Majority Banks, shall have notified such Pledgor of such cessation, and the Pledgee shall have exercised its rights under Section 15 of this Agreement. 
  
 (ii) All cash dividends payable in respect of the Pledged
Stock, all payments in respect of the Pledged Notes and all distributions in respect of the Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC Interests shall be paid to the respective Pledgor, provided that all dividends payable in respect of the
Pledged Stock which are determined by the Pledgee to represent in whole or in part an extraordinary, liquidating or other distribution in return of capital, to the extent so determined to represent an extraordinary, liquidating or other distribution
in return of capital, and all distributions in respect of the Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC Interests (other than those not prohibited by Section 8.10 of the Credit Agreement) shall be paid to the Pledgee and retained by it as
part of the Pledged Collateral (unless such cash dividends or distributions are applied to repay the Obligations pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement). The Pledgee shall also be entitled to receive directly, and to retain as part of the
Pledged Collateral: 







 (x) all other property (other than cash) paid or distributed by way of dividend or
distribution, as the case may be, in respect of the Pledged Stock, Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC Interests; 
  
 (y) all other property which may be paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral by reason of any consolidation, merger, conveyance of
assets, liquidation or similar corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, reorganization; and 
  
 (z) all other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged
Collateral by way of stock split, spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar rearrangement. 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or of a Notified Acceleration Event:

  
 (i) All rights of each Pledgor to exercise
the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) above shall cease upon written notice from the Pledgee to the Pledgors (except that no such notice shall be required in the
case of a Bankruptcy Default with respect to such Pledgor), and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Pledgee (acting at the direction of the Majority Banks) who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other
consensual rights during such continuance. 
  
 (ii) All rights of each Pledgor to receive the dividends, payments and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) above shall cease upon written notice from the
Pledgee to such Pledgor (except that no such notice shall be required in the case of a Bankruptcy Default), and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Pledgee (acting at the direction of the Majority Banks) who shall thereupon have the
sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, payments and other distributions during such continuance. 
  
 (iii) All dividends, payments and other distributions which are received by a Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii)
of this Section 8(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee (acting at the direction of the Majority Banks), shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee as Pledged
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). 
  
 (c) In order to permit the Pledgee (acting at the direction of the Majority Banks) to exercise the voting and other rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(b)(i) above, and to receive
all dividends, payments and distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 8(b)(ii) above, each Pledgor shall, if necessary, upon written notice from the Pledgee, from time to time execute and deliver to 







 the Pledgee appropriate proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Pledgee (acting at
the direction of the Majority Banks) may reasonably request. 
  
 9. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Securities. 
  
 (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, except to the extent permitted by
Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien, security interest, or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for the Lien in favor of the Pledgee under this
Agreement and except to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 (b) Each Pledgor agrees that it will, to the extent possible, cause any entity, the Ownership Interests of which are pledged hereunder,
not to issue any stock or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Collateral except to a Pledgor under this Agreement. 
  
 10. PLEDGEE APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE PLEDGEE AS SUCH PLEDGOR’S TRUE
AND LAWFUL ATTORNEY-IN-FACT, WITH FULL AUTHORITY IN THE PLACE AND STEAD OF SUCH PLEDGOR AND IN THE NAME OF SUCH PLEDGOR OR OTHERWISE, FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE PLEDGEE’S REASONABLE DISCRETION FOR THE PURPOSE OF CARRYING OUT THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TO TAKE ANY ACTION AND TO EXECUTE ANY DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT WHICH THE PLEDGEE MAY DEEM REASONABLY NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE
CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OR NOTIFIED ACCELERATION EVENT, TO RECEIVE, ENDORSE AND COLLECT ALL INSTRUMENTS MADE PAYABLE TO SUCH PLEDGOR REPRESENTING ANY DIVIDEND, INTEREST OR PRINCIPAL PAYMENT OR OTHER DISTRIBUTION IN RESPECT OF THE
PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY PART THEREOF AND TO GIVE FULL DISCHARGE FOR THE SAME. EACH PROXY, STOCK POWER, AND SIMILAR POWER NOW OR HEREAFTER GRANTED (INCLUDING ANY EVIDENCED BY A SEPARATE WRITING), IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND IRREVOCABLE.

  
 11. Pledgee May Perform. If any Pledgor fails to
perform any agreement contained herein, the Pledgee may, upon prior notice to such Pledgor (other than in connection with a Bankruptcy Default) but shall not be obligated to, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
reasonable expenses of the Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall constitute Obligations hereunder. 
  
 12. The Pledgee as Collateral Agent. The Pledgee will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Pledged Collateral at any time
received under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Pledgee as holder of the Pledged 







 Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are
only those expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Pledgee shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in Article XI of the Credit Agreement. 
  

13. Appointment of Subagents; Endorsements. The Pledgee shall have the right to appoint one or more sub-agents for the purpose of retaining
physical possession of the Pledged Collateral, which may be held (in the discretion of the Pledgee) in the name of the applicable Pledgor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Pledgee or any nominee or nominees of the Pledgee or a
sub-agent appointed by the Pledgee. The Pledgee agrees to promptly notify the relevant Pledgor after the appointment of any sub-agent; provided however that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such appointment.

  
 14. Reasonable Care. The Pledgee shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Pledgee accords its own property of a similar nature, it
being understood that neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor shall have responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged
Collateral, whether or not the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. 
  
 15. Remedies Upon Default. 
  
 (a) If any Event of Default, Bankruptcy Default or Notified
Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Document or by law) for the protection and
enforcement of its rights in respect of the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Pledgee shall be entitled, without limitation, to
exercise any or all of the following rights, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable: 
  
 (i) to sell without notice except as specified below, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or
private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Pledgee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Pledgee may deem commercially reasonable; 
  
 (ii) to receive all amounts payable in respect of the
Pledged Collateral otherwise payable under Section 8(a) hereof to such Pledgor; 
  
 (iii) to transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral into the Pledgee’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees (the
Pledgee agrees to promptly notify the relevant Pledgor after such transfer, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such transfer); 







 (iv) to accelerate or demand any Pledged Note hereunder which may be accelerated or
demanded in accordance with its terms, and take any other lawful action to collect upon any such Pledged Note (including, without limitation, to make any demand for payment thereon); and 
  
 (v) at any time or from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any
part of the Pledged Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale, without demand of performance, advertisement or notice of intention to sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise (all
of which are hereby waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its absolute discretion
may determine; provided that at least 10 days notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to such Pledgor. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make such sale of the Pledged Collateral regardless of whether any such notice
of sale has theretofore been given. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property so sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of each Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent not prohibited
by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Pledged Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, all rights, if any, of marshalling the Pledged Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise, and all
rights, if any, of stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee on behalf of the
Secured Creditors may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon
any or all of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. 
  
 (b) If at any time when the Pledgee shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the
Pledged Ownership Interests pursuant to this Section 15, and such Pledged Ownership Interests or the part thereof to be sold shall not, in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee, be effectively registered pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the “Act”), the Pledgee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell such Pledged Ownership Interests or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such
circumstances as Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without such registration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
(i) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Ownership Interests or part thereof shall have been filed under the Act, (ii) may approach and negotiate with a
single possible purchaser to effect such sale and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such
Pledged Ownership Interests or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no 







 responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Ownership Interests at a price
which the Pledgee may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until the registration as aforesaid. Each Pledgor acknowledges
that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law, be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. 
  
 (c) Each Pledgor acknowledges that notwithstanding the legal availability of a private sale or a sale subject to the restrictions
described above in clause (b) of this Section 15, the Pledgee may, in its discretion, elect to register any or all the Pledged Collateral under the Act (or any applicable state securities law) in accordance with its rights hereunder; however,
the Pledgee shall be under no obligation to exercise such right or to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registrant to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under
applicable state securities laws, even if the registrant would agree to do so. 
  
 (d) If the Pledgee determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request, the Pledgors
shall, from time to time, furnish to the Pledgee all such information as the Pledgee may reasonably request in order to determine the number of shares of Stock and other instruments included in the Pledged Collateral which may be sold by the Pledgee
in exempt transactions under the Act and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 
  
 10. Registration and Related Rights. 
  
 (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any Pledgor shall have received from
the Pledgee a written request or requests that such Pledgor cause any registration, qualification or compliance under any Federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Stock, Pledged
Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests, as the case may be, such Pledgor as soon as practicable and at its expense will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use its
reasonable best 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 Pledged Stock, Pledged Partnership Interests or
Pledged LLC Interests, as the case may be, including, without limitation, registration under the Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate
compliance with any other governmental requirements; provided that the Pledgee shall furnish to such Pledgor such information regarding the Pledgee as such Pledgor may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with
any such registration, qualification or compliance. Each Pledgor will cause the Pledgee to be kept reasonably advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish
to the Pledgee such number of prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident thereto as 







 the Pledgee from time to time may reasonably request, and will indemnify, to the extent not prohibited by
law, the Pledgee and all others participating in the distribution of such Pledged Stock, Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests, as the case may be, against all claims, losses, damages or 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, except insofar as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to
such Pledgor or the issuer of such Ownership Interests by the Pledgee expressly for use therein. 
  
 (b) Without limitation of the foregoing, if, at any time when the Pledgee in its sole reasonable discretion determines, following the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bankruptcy Default or Notified Acceleration Event, that, in connection with any actual or contemplated exercise of its rights to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral
hereunder, it is necessary or advisable to effect a public registration of all or part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Act, the respective Pledgor shall use its reasonable best efforts, in an expeditious manner, to cause any issuer of any
Pledged Collateral to: 
  
 (i) prepare and file
with the SEC a registration statement with respect to the Pledged Collateral and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective; 
  
 (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral covered by such
registration statement whenever the Pledgee shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral; 
  
 (iii) furnish to the Pledgee such numbers of copies of a prospectus and a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of
the Act, and such other documents as the Pledgee may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral by the Pledgee; 
  
 (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral covered by such
registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States of America as the Pledgee shall request, and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be required of it to enable the Pledgee
to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of the Pledged Collateral by the Pledgee; and 
  
 (v) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security
holders, as soon as 







 reasonably practicable an earnings statement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Act. 
  
 (c) Each Pledgor acknowledges the
impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages which would be suffered by the Pledgee and the Secured Creditors by reason of the failure by such Pledgor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section 16 and,
consequently, agrees that, if such Pledgor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, the Pledgee shall be entitled, to the extent, permitted by applicable law, to specific performance. 
  
 2. Decisions Relating to Exercise of Remedies. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, or the Nexstar Guaranty, the Pledgee may exercise, and at the request of the Majority Banks shall exercise or refrain from exercising, all rights and remedies hereunder and provided by law,
which remedies are cumulative and not exclusive. 
  
 (b) By acceptance of the benefit of the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement in the Pledged Collateral, the Interest Rate Protection Creditors, and the Nexstar Creditors hereby acknowledge that they have no rights to direct
the Pledgee to act or refrain from acting with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and hereby acknowledge that the Pledgee shall hold the Pledged Collateral (to the extent such Pledged Collateral is evidenced by certificates, notes or other
instruments delivered to it) for itself and the pro rata benefit of the Secured Creditors, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, solely for the purpose of providing them with a pari passu security interest in the Pledged
Collateral (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein). In any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law and prior to any vote in any such proceeding, the
Interest Rate Protection Creditors, and the Nexstar Creditors shall abstain from any such vote which is taken on a committee of secured creditors or otherwise affects the disposition of the Pledged Collateral. 
  
 3. Application of Proceeds. 
  
 (a) All monies collected by the Pledgee upon any sale or
other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, through enforcement, realization hereunder or otherwise, together with all other monies received by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied as follows: 
  
 (i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing to the
Pledgee of the type described in paragraphs (b) and (c) contained in Section 3 hereof; 
  
 (ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), an amount equal to the outstanding
Primary Obligations (as defined in paragraph (b) below) shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 18(e), with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are








 insufficient to pay in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share (as defined in paragraph (b)
below) of the amount remaining to be distributed; 
  
 (iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations (as defined in paragraph (b) below) shall be paid to the Secured
Creditors as provided in Section 18(e), with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of
the amount remaining to be distributed; and 
  
 (iv) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 28 hereof, to the relevant Pledgor
or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
  
 (b) As used in this Section 18, (i) “Pro Rata Share” means, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a
fraction, the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or
Secondary Obligations, as the case may be; (ii) “Primary Obligations” means (x) in the case of the Loan Document Obligations, all principal of, and interest on, all Loans, all Letter of Credit Obligations (together with all interest
accrued thereon) and all fees payable pursuant to the Loan Documents, (y) in the case of the Interest Rate Protection Obligations, all amounts due under the Interest Rate Protection Agreements (other than indemnities, fees (including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees) and similar obligations and liabilities), and (z) all obligations and liabilities of each Pledgor to the Nexstar Creditors, now existing and hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the Nexstar
Guaranty; and (iii) ”Secondary Obligations” means all Obligations other than Primary Obligations. 
  
 (c) When payments to the Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors
hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 18 only) (i) first, to their Primary Obligations and (ii) second, to their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata
Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured
Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the unpaid
Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to such
distribution. 







 (d) Each of the Secured Creditors agrees and acknowledges that if the Bank Creditors are
to receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued) under the Credit Agreement (which shall only occur after all outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such
Letters of Credit have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Bank Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations
owing to the Bank Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, and after the application of all such cash security to the
repayment of all Obligations owing to the Bank Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Pledgee for
distribution in accordance with Section 18(a) hereof. 
  
 (e) Except as set forth in Section 18(d) hereof, all payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (i) if to the Bank Creditors, to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement for the account of
the Bank Creditors, and (ii) if to the other Secured Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each a “Representative”) for the other Secured Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative,
directly to the other Secured Creditors. 
  
 (f)
For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 18, (i) the Pledgee shall determine the unpaid Primary Obligations and the other Loan Document Obligations owed to the Bank Creditors and (ii) the Pledgee may rely on (y) any
Interest Rate Protection Creditor to determine the unpaid Primary Obligations and other Interest Rate Protection Obligations owed to such Interest Rate Protection Creditor, and (z) any Nexstar Creditor to determine the unpaid Primary Obligations and
other Nexstar Guaranty Obligations owed to such Nexstar Creditor. 
  
 (g) It is understood and agreed that the Pledgors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Pledged Collateral hereunder and the aggregate
amount of the sums referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, of Section 18(a). 
  
 (h) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, amounts received pursuant to this Agreement (i) by the Bank Creditors
or the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or any other Person for the account or benefit of any Bank Creditor shall be payable to the Bank Creditors in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and (ii) by the Nexstar Creditors or the Collateral
Agent, Administrative Agent (as defined in the Nexstar Credit Agreement) or any other Person for the account or benefit of the Nexstar Creditors shall be payable to the Nexstar Creditors in accordance with the Nexstar Credit Agreement. 

 
 19. Purchasers of Pledged Collateral. Upon any sale of any Pledged
Collateral by the Pledgee hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or
purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold, and such 







 purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to
the Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof. 
  
 20. Indemnity. Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Pledgee, each other Secured Creditor and
their respective successors, assigns, employees, agents and servants (individually an “Indemnitee,” and collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and
liabilities (including liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever kind or nature, and to reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, growing out of or resulting from any investigation,
litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any right or remedy granted to it hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Nexstar Guaranty or the Interest Rate Protection Agreements; provided
that no Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to Section 20 for losses, damages or liabilities to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. If and to the extent that the obligations of each Pledgor
under this Section 20 are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. Each Pledgor agrees that upon
written notice by any Indemnitee of the assertion of any liability, obligation, damage, injury, penalty, claim, demand, action, suit or judgment, such Pledgor shall assume full responsibility for the defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to use
its best efforts to promptly notify the relevant Pledgor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge. Any amounts paid by any Indemnitee, as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement, shall constitute Obligations
secured by the Pledged Collateral. The indemnity obligations of each Pledgor contained in this Section 20 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all the Loans incurred under the Credit Agreement, the
termination of all Interest Rate Protection Agreements, and the Mission Guaranty and the payment of all other Obligations and notwithstanding the discharge thereof. 
  
 21. Expense. Each Pledgor will upon demand pay to the Pledgee the amount of any and all reasonable expenses and the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel (including, without duplication, the allocated cost of staff counsel) and of any experts and agents, which the Pledgee may incur in connection with (a) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral; (b) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor hereunder; or (c) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of
the provisions hereof. 
  
 22. Notices. All notices,
requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including, unless the context expressly otherwise provides, facsimile transmission) and mailed, transmitted by facsimile, or delivered:

 (c) if to any Bank (other than the Pledgee), at such address

 (f) or at such address or facsimile number as shall have been furnished in writing by any Person described
above to the party giving such notice or making such request or other communication hereunder. 
  
 23. No Waiver. No delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor in exercising or enforcing any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given
to or made upon any Pledgor by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor with respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the right of the Pledgee or any other Secured
Creditor to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or to the extent required by law) or prejudice the rights of the
Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor hereunder or the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor under any of the other Secured Debt Documents as against any Pledgor in any respect. 
  
 24. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Pledgee (with the consent of the Majority Banks or, to the extent required by
Section 12.01(a)(vii) of the Credit Agreement, with the consent of each of the Banks), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided however,
that no such change, waiver, modification or variance shall be made to Section 18 hereof or this Section 24 without the consent of each Secured Creditor adversely affected thereby, and provided further, that any change, waiver,
modification or variance affecting the rights and benefits of a single Class of Secured Creditors (and not all Secured Creditors in a like or similar manner) shall require the written consent of the Requisite Creditors of such Class of Secured
Creditors. No delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No notice to or 







 demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 
  
 10. Pledgors’ Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain
in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: 
  
 (a) any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of, or
addition or supplement to or deletion from any of the Secured Debt Documents, or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; 
  
 (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such
agreement or instrument or this Agreement; 
  
 (c) any furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Pledgee or its assignee; 
  
 (d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any such instrument or agreement or
any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; or 
  
 (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any
Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any Pledgor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not such Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

  
 26. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall
create a continuing first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral, and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Lien Termination Date; (b) continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment
and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the obligee of the Obligations, all as though such payment or performance had not
been made; (c) be binding upon each Pledgor, its successors and assigns; and (d) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Creditors and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.
Upon the occurrence of the Lien Termination Date, each Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense and without recourse, representation or warranty, of such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or
otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. 
  
 27. Actions
Requiring FCC Approval. 
  
 (a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, or any of the documents executed pursuant hereto, the Pledgee will not take any action pursuant to this Agreement, or any such documents, which would constitute or result in any
assignment of any FCC license or any transfer of control of the holder of any FCC 







 license if such assignment of such license or such transfer of control would require under then existing
law (including the Communications Act or the written policies, rules and regulations promulgated by the FCC), the prior approval of the FCC, without first obtaining such approval. In connection with this Section 27(a), the Pledgee shall be
entitled to rely upon the advice of FCC counsel of the Pledgee’s choice with respect to such assignment or transfer whether or not the advice rendered is ultimately determined to have been accurate. 
  
 (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Pledgor shall take any action that the Pledgee may request in the exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement in order to transfer or assign the Pledged Collateral to the Pledgee or to such one or more third parties as
the Pledgee may designate, or to a combination of the foregoing. To enforce the provisions of this Section 27, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgee is empowered to seek from the FCC and any other
Governmental Authority, to the extent required, consent to or approval of any involuntary assignment or transfer of control of any entity whose Pledged Collateral is subject to this Agreement for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom
the Pledged Collateral will be assigned and control will ultimately be transferred. Each Pledgor agrees to cooperate with any such purchaser and with the Pledgee in the preparation, execution and filing of any applications and other documents and
providing any information that may be necessary or helpful in obtaining the FCC’s consent to the assignment to such purchaser of the Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor hereby agrees to consent to any such involuntary transfer of control upon the
request of the Pledgee after and during the continuation of an Event of Default and, without limiting any rights of the Pledgee under this Agreement, to authorize the Pledgee to nominate a trustee or receiver to assume control of the Pledged
Collateral, subject only to required judicial, FCC or other consent required by any Governmental Authority, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated in this Section 27. Such trustee or receiver shall have all the rights and powers
as provided to it by law or court order, or to the Pledgee under this Agreement. Each Pledgor shall cooperate fully in obtaining the consent of the FCC and the approval or consent of each other Governmental Authority required to effectuate the
foregoing. 
  
 (c) Each Pledgor shall use its
best efforts to assist in obtaining consent or approval of the FCC and any other Governmental Authority, if required, for any action or transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the preparation, execution and filing
with the FCC of the transferor’s or assignor’s portion of any application or applications for consent to the transfer of control or assignment necessary or appropriate under the FCC’s rules and regulations for approval of the transfer
or assignment of any portion of the Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (d) Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Pledged Collateral is a unique asset and that a violation of any Pledgor’s covenant to cooperate with respect to any regulatory consents would result in
irreparable harm to the Pledgee for which monetary damages are not readily ascertainable. Each Pledgor further agrees that, because of the unique nature of its undertakings in this Section 27, the same may be specifically enforced, and it
hereby waives, and agrees to waive, any claim or defense 







 that the Pledgee would have an adequate remedy at law for the breach of such undertakings. 
  
 (d) Without limiting the obligations of any Pledgor
hereunder in any respect, each Pledgor further agrees that if such Pledgor, upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, should fail or refuse to execute any application or other document necessary or appropriate to obtain any governmental
consent necessary or appropriate for the exercise of any right of the Pledgee hereunder, such Pledgor agrees that such application or other document may be executed on such Pledgor’s behalf by the clerk or other representative of any court or
other forum in any competent jurisdiction without notice to such Pledgor pursuant to an order of such court or forum. 
  
 2. Termination; Release. 
  
 (a) It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Liens and security interests granted under this Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Creditors
(i) prior to the Lien Termination Date, (x) shall be released by the Pledgee, without the necessity of the consent of any Secured Creditor, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement (including
as permitted pursuant to any amendment or waiver to Section 8.03 in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement), but in each case only with respect to that portion of the Pledged Collateral subject to such transaction and not including
the proceeds thereof, and (y) may be released by the Pledgee, with the consent of the Majority Banks or, to the extent required by Section 12.01(a)(vii) of the Credit Agreement, with the consent of each of the Banks, with respect to all or
any portion of the Pledged Collateral and (ii) shall be released on the Lien Termination Date with respect to all of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 28. Upon any release of the type described in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Pledgee shall, at the request and expense of the Pledgors, release the Pledged Collateral being released and execute and deliver to the Pledgors such instrument or instruments acknowledging the release of such
Pledged Collateral from this Agreement as reasonably requested by such Pledgor, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the respective Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Pledged Collateral that is
to be released as described above and is in the possession of the Pledgee. 
  
 (b) Following the Lien Termination Date, this Agreement shall terminate, (provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, Section 20 hereof, shall survive any such termination) and
the Pledgee, at the request and expense of the Pledgors, will execute and deliver to the Pledgors such instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement as reasonably requested by the Pledgor, and will duly
assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgors (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Pledged Collateral as may be in the possession of the Pledgee and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released
pursuant to this Agreement, together with any moneys at the time held by the Pledgee hereunder. 
  







 (c) At any time that the Pledgors desire that Pledged Collateral be released as provided
in the foregoing Section 28(a) or (b), it shall, upon the request of the Pledgee, deliver to the Pledgee a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer stating that the release of the respective Pledged Collateral is permitted pursuant
to Section 28(a) or (b), as the case may be. 
  
 (d) The Pledgee shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Creditor as a result of any release of any Pledged Collateral by it in accordance with this Section 28. 
  
 29. Severability. If for any reason any provision or provisions hereof
are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or effect those portions of this Agreement which are valid. 
  
 30. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 31. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION GOVERN PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT). 
  
 32. Joinder. 
  
 (a) Each Pledgor shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that
may from time to time be formed and that is not already a party hereto to become a “Pledgor” hereunder by executing and delivering to the Pledgee a Joinder to Pledge and Security Agreement in substantially the form of Annex B hereto. Any
such Subsidiary shall thereafter be deemed a “Pledgor” for all purposes under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Each Pledgor further agrees to take such actions as the Pledgee reasonably deems necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing and to
permit the Pledgee to exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder, and agrees to provide an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Pledgee with respect to the validity and enforceability of any such pledge and security interest
hereunder, any such Subsidiary that is to become a party hereto and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the Pledgee, in each case promptly upon request of the Pledgee. 
  
 33. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterpart originals executed by all the parties hereto shall be delivered to








 the Pledgee, and a copy thereof shall be furnished to the Borrower or any other Pledgor promptly upon request therefor.

  
 34. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several
sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 
  
 35. Liability Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of each Pledgor (other than the Borrower)
under this Agreement shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Pledgor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under Section 548
of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Pledgor, contingent or
otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Pledgor in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower to the extent
that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Pledgor hereunder) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights
to subrogation, reimbursement or contribution of such Pledgor pursuant to (a) applicable law, or (b) any agreement providing for rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution in favor of such Pledgor, or for an equitable allocation among such
Pledgor, the Borrower and/or any other Person of obligations arising under guaranties by such Persons. 
  
 36. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any foreclosure or other realization upon any Pledged Collateral, payment or payments by any Pledgor hereunder,
or any set-off or application of funds of any Pledgor by any Secured Creditor, no Pledgor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Secured Creditor against the Borrower or any other Person or guarantee or right of offset held
by any Secured Creditor of the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Pledgor seek or be entitled to any reimbursement or contribution from the Borrower, any other Pledgor, or any other Person in respect of foreclosure of other realization upon
any Pledged Collateral or payments made by such Pledgor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Secured Creditors by the Borrower on account of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to any Pledgor on
account of the subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations have not been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Pledgor in trust for the Secured Creditors, segregated from other funds of such Pledgor, and
shall, immediately upon receipt by such Pledgor, be turned over to the Pledgee in the exact form received by such Pledgor (duly endorsed by such Pledgor to the Pledgee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order as the Pledgee may determine. 
  
 37.
Restatement. This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Pledge Agreement. Each Pledgor that is a party thereto affirms its grant of a security interest, pledge and assignment in the Existing Pledge Agreement and agrees
that except for the Liens in the Pledged Collateral, which remain valid, binding, and enforceable first priority Liens for the benefit of the Pledgee and the Secured Creditors, this Agreement restates the Existing Pledge 







 Agreement in its entirety. This Agreement is not intended as, and shall not be construed as, a release or novation of any
Lien granted pursuant to the Existing Pledge Agreement.
