 SECTION 2. Subordination to Payment of Senior Debt. All payments on account

or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement, or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or upon any other marshaling or composition of the assets and
liabilities of such Debtor Obligor, or upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding, or otherwise (such events, collectively, the “Insolvency Events”): (a) the Discharge of Senior Debt must have occurred before any
Subordinated Debt Payment is made; and (b) any Subordinated Debt Payment to which any Creditor Obligor would be entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid or delivered by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, or other liquidating lender making such payment or distribution directly to Agent for application to the payment of the Senior Debt until the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, after giving effect to any concurrent payment
or distribution or provision therefor to Agent or any member of the Noteholder Group in respect of such Senior Debt. 
 SECTION 4.
Payments on Subordinated Debt. 
 (a) Permitted Payments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each
Debtor Obligor may make, and each Creditor Obligor shall be entitled to accept and receive Subordinated Debt Payments expressly allowed, if any, under the Indenture. 

(b) No Payment upon Senior Debt Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and until such Event
of Default is waived in accordance with the Indenture, no Debtor Obligor shall make, and no Creditor Obligor shall accept or 

  
 4 








 
receive, any Subordinated Debt Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, once such Event of Default is cured or waived, and so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any
Debtor Obligor may make and any Creditor Obligor may accept or receive any Subordinated Debt payment, including payments scheduled for the period of time when such Event of Default existed to the extent permitted by the Indenture. 

SECTION 5. Subordination of Remedies. Until the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Event has
occurred, no Creditor Obligor will: 
 (a) accelerate, make demand, or otherwise make due and payable prior to the original due date thereof
any Subordinated Debt; 
 (b) bring, commence, institute, prosecute, or participate in any lawsuit, action, or proceeding, whether private,
judicial, equitable, administrative, or otherwise to enforce its rights or interests in respect of the Subordinated Debt; 
 (c) exercise any
rights under or with respect to guaranties of the Subordinated Debt, if any; 
 (d) exercise any of its rights or remedies in connection with
the Subordinated Debt with respect to any Collateral of any Debtor Obligor; 
 (e) exercise any right to set-off or counterclaim in respect
of any Indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations of such Creditor Obligor to any Debtor Obligor against any of the Subordinated Debt; 
 (f)
in its capacity as a Creditor Obligor, contest, protest, or object to any exercise of secured creditor remedies by Agent or any other member of Noteholder Group in connection with the Senior Debt; 

(g) object to any forbearance by Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group in connection with the Senior Debt; or 

(h) commence, or cause to be commenced, or join with any creditor other than Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group in commencing,
any Insolvency Proceeding against any Debtor Obligor. 
 SECTION 6. Payment over to Trustee. In the event that, notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5, any Subordinated Debt Payments shall be received in contravention of such Sections 2, 3, 4, or 5 by any Creditor Obligor before the Discharge of Senior Debt has
occurred, such Subordinated Debt Payments shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholder Group and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Trustee, in the same form as received and with any necessary endorsements, for
application to the payment of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Security Documents. Trustee is authorized to make any such endorsements as Trustee for the Creditor Obligors. Such authorization is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of Senior Debt. 

  
 5 








 SECTION 7. Authorization to Agent. If, while any Subordinated Debt is outstanding and
before Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, any Insolvency Event shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Obligor or its property: (a) Agent hereby is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of each Obligor or otherwise),
but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect, and receive every payment or distribution in respect of the Subordinated Debt and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including
voting the Subordinated Debt) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Agent (or any member of the Noteholder Group) under the Indenture or any of the Security Documents; and
(b) each Obligor shall promptly take such action as Agent may reasonably request (i) to collect the Subordinated Debt for the account of the Noteholder Group and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated
Debt, (ii) to execute and deliver to Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, and other instruments as it may reasonably request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subordinated Debt, and (iii) to collect and
receive any and all Subordinated Debt Payments. 
 SECTION 8. Certain Agreements Of Each Obligor. 

(a) No Benefits. Each Obligor understands that there may be various agreements between the Noteholder Group and any other Obligor
evidencing and governing the Senior Debt, and each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that such agreements are not intended to confer any benefits on such Obligor unless such Obligor is also a party thereto (in which case, the rights of such Obligor
are as set forth therein) and that Agent and the other members of the Noteholder Group shall have no obligation to such Obligor or any other Person to exercise any rights, enforce any remedies, or take any actions which may be available to them
under such agreements unless such Obligor is also a party thereto (in which case, the rights of such Obligor are as set forth therein). 

(b) No Interference. Each Obligor acknowledges that certain other Obligors have granted to Agent for the benefit of the Noteholder
Group security interests in substantially all of such other Obligor’s assets, and agrees not to interfere with or in any manner oppose a disposition of any Collateral by Agent in accordance with the Indenture or the applicable Security
Documents or applicable law. 
 (c) Reliance by Agent and Noteholder Group. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that Agent and each
member of the Noteholder Group will have relied upon and will continue to rely upon the subordination provisions provided for herein and the other provisions hereof in entering into the Indenture and the Security Documents (as the case may be) and
acquiring the Notes or making other financial accommodations thereunder. 
 (d) Waivers. Except as provided under the Indenture or
any Security Document, each Obligor hereby waives any and all notice of the incurrence of the Senior Debt or any part thereof and any right to require marshaling of assets.

notice to or the consent of such Creditor Obligor, without incurring responsibility to such Creditor Obligor, and without impairing or 

  
 6 








 
releasing the subordination provided for herein or otherwise impairing the rights of Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group: (i) the time for any Debtor Obligor’s performance
of or compliance with any of its agreements contained in the Indenture or the Security Documents may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived by Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group; (ii) the agreements of any
Debtor Obligor with respect to the Indenture and the Security Documents may from time to time be modified by such other Debtor Obligor, Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group for the purpose of adding any requirements thereto or changing
in any manner the rights and obligations of such Debtor Obligor, Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group thereunder; (iii) the manner, place, or terms for payment by any Debtor Obligor of Senior Debt or any portion thereof may be
altered or the terms for payment extended, or the Senior Debt of any Debtor Obligor may be renewed in whole or in part; (iv) the maturity of the Senior Debt of any Debtor Obligor may be accelerated in accordance with the terms of any present or

perfected or become unperfected; (vi) any Person liable in any manner for Senior Debt may be discharged, released, or substituted; and (vii) all other rights against the Debtor Obligors, any other Person, or with respect to any Collateral
may be exercised (or Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group may waive or refrain from exercising such rights as provided in the Indenture or the applicable Security Documents or under applicable law) in each case, in accordance with the
Indenture and the applicable Security Documents and applicable law. 
 (f) Rights of Agent Not to Be Impaired. No right of Agent or
any other member of the Noteholder Group to enforce the subordination provided for herein or to exercise its other rights hereunder shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by any Obligor, Agent or any
other member of the Noteholder Group hereunder or under or in connection with the Indenture or the Security Documents or by any noncompliance by the other Obligors with the terms and provisions and covenants herein or in the Indenture or any
Security Document, regardless of any knowledge thereof Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group may have or otherwise be charged with. 

(g) Financial Condition of the Obligors. No Obligor shall have any right to require Agent to obtain or disclose any information with
respect to: (i) the financial condition or character of any other Obligor or the ability of any other Obligor to pay and perform any or all of Senior Debt; (ii) the Senior Debt; (iii) the Collateral or other security for any or all of
the Senior Debt; (iv) the existence or nonexistence of any guarantees of, or any other subordination agreements with respect to, all or any part of the Senior Debt; (v) any action or inaction on the part of Agent or any other Person; or

over to Agent (for the benefit of the 

  
 7 








 
Noteholder Group) under the terms of this Agreement, each Creditor Obligor shall be subrogated to the rights of Agent and the other members of the Noteholder Group; provided, however, that each
Creditor Obligor agrees not to assert or enforce any such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any such payment or distribution hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred; provided further, however, that no Creditor
Obligor shall exercise or enforce any such rights against any Debtor Obligor (including after the Discharge of Senior Debt) if all or any portion of the Senior Debt shall have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies by Agent in
respect of the Equity Interests of such Debtor Obligor whether pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement or otherwise. 
 SECTION 10.
Continuing Agreement; Reinstatement. 
 (a) Continuing Agreement. This Agreement is a continuing agreement of subordination
and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Obligor until the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred. The subordinations, agreements, and priorities set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether any party
hereto in the future seeks to rescind, amend, terminate, or reform, by litigation or otherwise, its respective agreements with the other Obligor. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding
and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of parties hereto in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency
Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (and the amount of Senior Debt shall be
reinstated), as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Senior Debt shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group to any Loan Party, whether as a result of an Insolvency Event
or otherwise. 
 SECTION 11. Transfer of Subordinated Debt. No Obligor may assign or transfer its rights and obligations in respect
of the Subordinated Debt without the prior written consent of Agent, and any such transferee or assignee, as a condition to acquiring an interest in the Subordinated Debt shall agree to be bound hereby, in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent. 

SECTION 12. Obligations of the Obligors Not Affected. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the purpose of defining
the relative rights of each Creditor Obligor against each Debtor Obligor, on the one hand, and of Agent and the other members of the Noteholder Group against each Creditor Obligor, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
(i) impair, as between each Creditor Obligor and any Debtor Obligor, the obligation of the Debtor Obligor to pay its respective obligations with respect to the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable, or
(ii) otherwise affect the relative rights of any Creditor Obligor against any Debtor Obligor, on the one hand, and of the creditors (other than Agent or the other members of the Noteholder Group) of the Debtor Obligors against the Debtor
Obligors, on the other hand.

(b) Further Assurances and Additional Acts. Each Obligor shall execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, notarize, and register at its own
expense all such further agreements, instruments, certificates, financing statements, documents, and assurances, and perform such acts as Agent reasonably shall deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, and promptly

Obligor, shall be mailed, sent or delivered in care of Issuer in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Indenture or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party in
writing. 
 SECTION 15. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Agent or any other member of the Noteholder Group
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture or any Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power,
or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers, and
privileges that may otherwise be available to Agent or the other members of the Noteholder Group. 
 SECTION 16. Costs and Expenses.
The Obligors, jointly and severally, agree to pay to Agent promptly after demand therefor all fees and expenses of the Noteholder Group in connection with this Agreement, including in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery, and administration of this Agreement, or any amendments, modifications, or waivers of the terms hereof, or the enforcement or attempted enforcement of, or preservation of rights or interests under, this Agreement, including any losses
incurred by Agent as a result of any failure by any Obligor to perform or observe its obligations contained in this Agreement. 
 SECTION
17. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall continue in full force and
effect until the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Obligor under Section 9 and Section 16 shall survive the Discharge of Senior Debt.

or claim in connection with, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 19. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by each Obligor, Agent and the other members of the Noteholder Group and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 21. Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers; Conflicts. 

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents, constitutes the entire
agreement of each of the Obligors and the Noteholder Group with respect to the matters set forth herein and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. 

(b) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Obligors and Agent; and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any Obligor from any provision hereof, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by Agent. Any such amendment, waiver, or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 

(c) Conflicts with Subordinated Debt Documents. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any terms of this Agreement, on the
one hand, and any documents or instruments in respect of the Subordinated Debt, on the other hand, then the terms of this Agreement shall control. 

(d) Conflicts with Indenture. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any terms of this Agreement, on the one hand, and any of
the terms and provisions of the Indenture, on the other hand, then the terms and provisions of the Indenture shall control. 
 (e)
Conflicts with Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, (i) this Agreement and the rights, remedies, duties and obligations provided for herein are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) in

 SECTION 22. Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be
severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 

SECTION 23. Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any member of the
Noteholder Group, or any Obligor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as
to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 
 SECTION 24. Counterparts; Telefacsimile or Other Electronic
Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original
executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 25. New
Subsidiaries. Each Obligor shall cause any Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or formation) of any Loan Party that is required pursuant to Section 4.16 of the Indenture to execute a joinder to the Security Agreement or the Indenture,
within 10 Business Days of such acquisition or formation, as the case may be, to execute and deliver to Agent a joinder to this Agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Upon the execution and delivery of such a joinder by such
Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become an Obligor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as an Obligor herein. The execution and delivery of any agreement or instrument adding an additional Obligor as a party to this
Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Obligor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Obligor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Obligor hereunder as though such new Obligor
had originally been named an Obligor hereunder on the date of this Agreement.
