necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the holders of the Series of such Priority Lien Obligations subject to such Impairment. Additionally, in the event the Priority Lien Obligations of any Series are modified
pursuant to applicable law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code), any reference to such Priority Lien Obligations or the Priority Lien Documents governing such Priority Lien Obligations shall refer to such
obligations or such documents as so modified. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE TRUST ESTATE 

Section 2.1 Declaration of Trust. 

To secure the payment of the Priority Lien Obligations and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, each
of the Grantors, each Priority Lien Representative and each other Priority Lien Secured Party hereby confirms the grant of Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee, and the Collateral Trustee hereby accepts and agrees to hold, in trust under this
Agreement for the benefit of all current and future Priority Lien Secured Parties, on all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Collateral and on all Liens now or hereafter granted to the Collateral Trustee by each
Grantor under any Security Document for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, together with all of the Collateral Trustee’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Security Documents, and all interests, rights, powers and
remedies of the Collateral Trustee thereunder or in respect thereof and all cash and non-cash proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Trust Estate”). 

The Collateral Trustee and its successors and assigns under this Agreement will hold the Trust Estate in trust for the benefit solely and
exclusively of all current and future Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Collateral Trustee as security for the payment of all present and future Priority Lien Obligations. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time: 

(1) all Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations have been released as provided in Section 4.1; 

(2) the Collateral Trustee holds no property in trust that constitutes part of the Trust Estate; 

(3) the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has occurred; 

  
 20 








 (4) no monetary obligation (other than unasserted contingent indemnification and other
obligations and Back-Stopped Letters of Credit) is outstanding and payable under this Agreement to the Collateral Trustee or any of its co-trustees or agents (whether in an individual or representative capacity); and 

(5) the Company delivers to the Collateral Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all Priority Liens of the Collateral Trustee
have been released in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Priority Lien Documents and that the Grantors are not required by any Priority Lien Document to grant any Priority Lien upon any property, then the Trust Estate arising hereunder
will automatically terminate (subject to any reinstatement pursuant to Section 7.20 hereof and other than with respect to contingent indemnification and other obligations unasserted on the date of termination of the Trust Estate), except that
all provisions set forth in Sections 7.9 and 7.10 that are enforceable by the Collateral Trustee or any of its co-trustees or agents (whether in an individual or representative capacity) will remain enforceable in accordance with their
terms. 
 The parties further declare and covenant that the Trust Estate will be held and distributed by the Collateral Trustee subject to
the further agreements herein. 
 Section 2.2 Collateral Shared Equally and Ratably. The parties to this Agreement agree that
the payment and satisfaction of all of the Priority Lien Obligations will be secured equally and ratably by the Priority Lien established in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Collateral
Trustee, notwithstanding the time of incurrence of any Priority Lien Obligations or time or method of creation or perfection of any Priority Liens securing such Priority Lien Obligations and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC or any other
applicable law or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to perfect or lapse in perfection of, or avoidance as a fraudulent conveyance or otherwise of, the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, whether
or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced against the Company or any other Grantor, it is the intent of the parties that all Priority Lien Obligations will be and are secured equally and ratably by all Priority Liens at any
time granted by the Company or any other Grantor to secure any Priority Lien Obligations, and that all such Priority Liens will be enforceable by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of all Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Collateral Trustee
equally and ratably; provided, however, that the Priority Lien Obligations shall be subject to the prior payment rights of the Collateral Trustee for the Collateral Trustee’s Fees and Expenses and the holders of the First-Out
Obligations and certain other Priority Lien Obligations as provided in Section 3.4 and the requirements of Section 1.3. 
 Section 2.3
Discretion in Enforcement of Priority Liens.  
 (a) Subject to the terms of any
Intercreditor Agreement and Article 5 hereof, in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Controlling Priority Lien Representative may, by a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction, instruct (or refrain from
instructing) the Collateral Trustee to enforce the provisions of the Priority Lien Documents and instruct (or refrain from instructing) the Collateral Trustee to exercise remedies thereunder or any such rights and remedies, all in such order and in
such manner as the Controlling Priority Lien Representative may determine in the exercise of its sole and exclusive discretion, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Priority Lien Documents, including: 

(1) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of all rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral and/or the Priority Lien
Obligations as to which the Controlling Party Lien Representative is the Priority Lien Representative; 

  
 21 








 (2) the enforcement or forbearance from enforcement of any Priority Lien in
respect of the Collateral; 
 (3) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of rights and powers of a holder of shares of
stock included in the Trust Estate to the extent provided in the Priority Lien Documents; 
 (4) after the occurrence of the
Discharge of First-Out Obligations (other than with respect to any Excess First-Out Obligations), the acceptance of the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the First Lien Obligations; and 

(5) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of all rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code
or any similar law of any applicable jurisdiction or in equity. 
 Section 2.4 Discretion in Enforcement of Priority
Lien Obligations.  
 (a) Without in any way limiting the generality of
Section 2.3, the holders of First-Out Obligations on the one hand and the holders of First Lien Obligations, on the other hand, and their respective Priority Lien Obligations and the Priority Lien Representatives may, at
any time and from time to time, do any one or more of the following, with respect to their respective Priority Liens and Priority Lien Obligations: 

(1) unless otherwise prohibited by any Priority Lien Document, change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time
of payment of, or renew or alter, their respective Priority Lien Obligations, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner their respective Priority Lien Obligations, or any instrument evidencing their respective Priority Lien Obligations or any
agreement under which their respective Priority Lien Obligations are outstanding; 
 (2) release any Person liable in any
manner for the collection of their respective Priority Lien Obligations; 
 (3) release the Priority Lien on any Collateral;
and 
 (4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Company and/or any other Grantor. 

Section 2.5 Identical Collateral and Agreements. The parties to this Agreement agree that it is their intention that the
Priority Liens securing the separate Series of Priority Lien Debt be identical (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Liens arising in connection with Other Credit Support and Mined Land Under Permit). In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties
hereto agree that there shall be one set of Security Documents creating Liens on the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of all the Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Collateral Trustee. 

  
 22 








 Section 2.6 Insolvency Matters. 

(a) The Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the First-Out Secured Parties) and the First-Out Representative, for itself and on
behalf of the First-Out Secured Parties, and the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties) and the First Lien Representative for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, acknowledge and agree that because of,
among other things, their differing rights to payment in respect of the Collateral, the First-Out Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or
adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held by a court of competent jurisdiction that the claims of the First-Out Secured
Parties and the First Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from or
in respect of the Collateral hereunder shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims against the Grantors from or in respect of the Collateral and the First-Out Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive (subject to the
provisions of Section 3.4 of this Agreement), in addition to amounts distributed to them from, or in respect of, the Collateral in respect of principal, any pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of any
post-petition interest, fees, costs, expenses, premiums, and other charges, irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution from, or in respect of, any
Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by the First Lien Secured Parties who are not the Collateral Trustee (other than distributions of Collateral pursuant to Sections 3.4(a)(II) and 3.4(a)(IV)), with the Collateral Trustee
(on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, but not on behalf of itself) and the First Lien Secured Parties (except the Collateral Trustee) acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First-Out Secured Parties prior to the Discharge of
First-Out Obligations (other than Excess First-Out Obligations) amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence (excluding amounts received pursuant to Sections 3.4(a)(II) and
3.4(a)(IV)), even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the First Lien Secured Parties who are not the Collateral Trustee. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 2.4(a) to the contrary, the
Collateral Trustee’s Fees and Expenses shall at all times be paid in full, prior to any payments being made to any of the other First Lien Secured Parties. 

(b) If the Company and/or any other Grantor shall become subject to an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and shall, as
debtor(s) in possession, move for approval of a financing (each, a “DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of
any other Bankruptcy Law (including on a priming basis) or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any 

  
 23 








 
other Bankruptcy Law, each Priority Lien Secured Party (other than the Controlling Priority Lien Representative) agrees that it will not raise, join or support any objection to any such financing
or to the Liens on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Collateral, unless the Controlling Priority Lien Representative shall then oppose or object (or join in
any objection) to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral, in each case so long as (A) the Priority Lien Secured Parties of each Series of Priority Lien Debt retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Collateral
pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Priority Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Priority Lien Secured Parties
constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (B) the Priority Lien Secured Parties of each Series of Priority Lien Debt are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to
any Priority Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Priority Lien Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if
any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Priority Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 3.4, (D) if any Priority Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including
in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 3.4 and (E) either (i) the Liens securing such DIP Financing are not
senior to the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations, and the First-Out Obligations maintain the same priority with respect to proceeds of the Collateral as set forth in Section 3.4 (including that the First-Out Obligations will have
priority ahead of the obligations owed to the DIP Lenders) or (ii) the Discharge of First-Out Obligations (other than with respect to any Excess First-Out Obligations) occurs in connection with such DIP Financing; provided that (x) the
Priority Lien Secured Parties of each Series of Priority Lien Debt shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any property or assets subject to Liens in favor of the Priority Lien Secured Parties of such
Series of Priority Lien Debt that does not constitute Collateral and (y) that the Priority Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Priority Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any
adequate protection granted to such Priority Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.
 Section
2.7 Insurance. 
 As between the Priority Lien Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee, acting at the direction of the
Controlling Priority Lien Representative, shall have (to the extent provided under the applicable Priority Lien Documents) the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Collateral in the event of any loss
thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Collateral. 
 Section 2.8
Refinancings. 
 The Priority Lien Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without
notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required 

  
 24 








 
to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Priority Lien Document) of any Priority Lien Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the
other provisions hereof; provided that such Refinancing indebtedness shall only constitute Additional First Lien Debt or Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Agreement hereunder if the Priority Lien Representative of the holders of any such
Refinancing indebtedness shall have complied with the requirements of Section 3.8 or the definition of “Discharge of Senior Credit Agreement Obligations”, if applicable. 

ARTICLE III

Enforcement Action, take any action in connection with an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise take any action or proceeding against any of the Collateral unless and until the Collateral Trustee shall have received notice in the form of
a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction and then only in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall not be required to (i)
file any proofs of claim or interest on behalf of any Priority Lien Secured Party under the Bankruptcy Code or in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; or (ii) vote on any plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation or any other
plan on behalf of any Priority Lien Secured Party under the Bankruptcy Code or in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates may
serve as Collateral Trustee. 
 Section 3.2 Release or Subordination of Liens. The Collateral Trustee will not release
or subordinate any Priority Lien of the Collateral Trustee or consent to the release or subordination of any Priority Lien of the Collateral Trustee, except: 

(a) pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate to the effect
that the release or subordination in 

  
 26 








 
respect of Permitted Prior Liens (i) is permitted by each applicable Priority Lien Document and in the case of any subordination, such subordination does not affect the priority of the First-Out
Lien and the First-Out Obligations in relation to the First Lien Obligations as set forth in Section 3.4, and the rights and remedies of the First-Out Representative set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) otherwise satisfies the requirements
of Section 4.1(b)(i) and 4.1(b)(ii); 
 (b) to release or subordinate Liens on Collateral to the extent

(c) as ordered pursuant to applicable law under a final and nonappealable order or judgment of a court of competent

 Section 3.3 Enforcement of Liens. 

(a) Each Priority Lien Secured Party acting through its respective Priority Lien Representative and/or by its acceptance of the
Security Documents agrees with the Collateral Trustee that (i) the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders on the date of this Agreement is Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as identified in the Preamble to this
Agreement, (ii) the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders is the Controlling Priority Lien Representative on the date of this Agreement, and (iii) whether or not a Shifting Control Date has occurred, the Priority Lien
Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders shall remain the Controlling Priority Lien Representative unless and until the date that the Collateral Trustee and the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders has
received written notice (a “Shifting Control Notice”) from a Person purporting to be the authorized representative of the First-Out Representative, which notice shall certify that (A) the person signing the notice is an authorized
representative of the First-Out Representative, (B) the Shifting Control Notice was sent to the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders and the Collateral Trustee, and (C) a Shifting Control Date occurred on the date
specified in such Shifting Control Notice (it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the obligations of the First Lien Representative hereunder, upon the Collateral Trustee’s receipt of a Shifting Control Notice satisfying the
foregoing requirements, the Collateral Trustee may assume without further inquiry that the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders has received such notice). After the Collateral Trustee receives a Shifting Control
Notice, the First-Out Representative shall constitute the Controlling Priority Lien Representative, notwithstanding any notice, demand or claim of the First Lien Representative or any other Person to the contrary; provided, however, if
the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders gives the Collateral Trustee notice, in writing, stating that (I) the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First 

  
 27 








 
Lien Debtholders has commenced an Enforcement Action pursuant to the terms hereof and is otherwise diligently pursuing an Enforcement Action and (II) the Priority Lien Representative for the
Required First Lien Debtholders is still the “Controlling Priority Lien Representative”, then the “Shifting Control Date” shall be deemed not to have occurred and the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First Lien
Debtholders shall be the “Controlling Priority Lien Representative” unless the Priority Lien Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders has withdrawn, in writing, its instructions to the Collateral Trustee to pursue an
Enforcement Action. Each Person purporting to be the authorized representative of First-Out Representative that delivers a Shifting Control Notice to the Collateral Trustee shall also deliver a Shifting Control Notice to the Priority Lien
Representative for the Required First Lien Debtholders, which Shifting Control Notice shall certify that (x) the person signing the notice is an authorized representative of the First-Out Representative, (y) the Shifting Control Notice was sent to
the Collateral Trustee, and (z) a Shifting Control Date occurred on the date specified in in such Shifting Control Notice. 

(b) Each Priority Lien Secured Party acting through its respective Priority Lien Representative and/or by its acceptance of the
Security Documents agrees with the Collateral Trustee that: (i) the Collateral Trustee may refrain from taking an Enforcement Action or from acting with respect the Collateral unless directed pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien Representative
Direction and shall refrain from taking an Enforcement Action or from acting or taking action with respect to the Collateral only as directed pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction; (ii) the Collateral Trustee shall not
follow any instructions with respect to the Collateral or any Enforcement Action from any Priority Lien Secured Party other than the Controlling Priority Lien Representative; (iii) no Priority Lien Secured Party (other than the Controlling Priority
Lien Representative) shall, or shall instruct the Collateral Trustee to take any Enforcement Action, whether under any Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, and (iv) only the Collateral Trustee, acting pursuant to Controlling Priority Lien
Representative Direction, shall be entitled to take any Enforcement Action and in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, to credit bid (subject to clause (g) below) the amount of any Priority Lien Debt; provided that, if and to the extent that
such Enforcement Action is to be conducted through receivership, a court-appointed receiver will be utilized. Unless it has been directed to the contrary by a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction, the Collateral Trustee in any
event may (but will not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking any Enforcement Action as it may deem advisable and in the best interest of the holders of Priority Lien Obligations. 

(c) If the Collateral Trustee at any time receives a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction stating that a Priority
Lien Debt Default has occurred, the Collateral Trustee, pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction, will promptly deliver written notice thereof to each other Priority Lien Representative. No Priority Lien Secured Party
will contest, protest or object to any Enforcement Action brought by the Collateral Trustee, or any action taken by the Collateral Trustee in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or any other exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any rights and
remedies relating to the Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 28 








 (d) Each Priority Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the Priority Lien
Secured Parties for which it is acting hereunder, agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any assets or property that constitute Collateral for the benefit of any Priority Lien Obligations (excluding Other Credit Support) other than pursuant to
the Security Documents, and by executing this Agreement (or a Collateral Trust Joinder), each Priority Lien Representative and each Priority Lien Secured Party for which it is acting hereunder agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Security Documents applicable to it. 
 (e) Each Priority Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and each
Priority Lien Secured Party for which it is acting hereunder, agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity, allowability or enforceability of any Priority Lien Obligations or any Priority Lien Document or the
validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any Priority Lien Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement; (ii) it will not seek, and hereby
waives any right, to have any Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral; (iii) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; (iv) it will not object to or oppose, and shall be deemed to consent to, a sale or other disposition of any Collateral (or any portion thereof) under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other
provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law if the Collateral Trustee (acting pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction) shall have consented to such sale or disposition of such Collateral, the Priority Liens
attach to the proceeds of such sale or disposition, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition are applied in accordance with Section 3.4; (v) it will not object to or otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting), any motion
for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of the Collateral made by the Collateral Trustee (acting pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction); (vi) it will not seek
relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee (acting pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien
Representative Direction); (vii) it will not object to, or otherwise contest (or support any Person contesting), (A) any request by the Collateral Trustee (acting pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction) for adequate
protection on account of the Collateral or (B) any objection by the Collateral Trustee (acting pursuant to a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction) to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Collateral Trustee’s
claimed lack of adequate protection with respect to the Collateral; (viii) it will not assert or enforce (or support any Person asserting or enforcing) any claim under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code pari passu with or senior to any Priority
Liens for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing any Collateral; and (ix) other than as otherwise provided in this Agreement, oppose or otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting) any lawful exercise by the Collateral Trustee
(acting pursuant to 

  
 29 








 
a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction) of the right to credit bid at any sale of Collateral (subject to Section 3.3(g)); provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Collateral Trustee or any other Priority Lien Secured Party to enforce this Agreement. 

(f) Prior to the commencement of any Enforcement Action with respect to any Collateral, the Controlling Priority Lien
Representative shall (i) provide a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction (which shall include an instruction to the Collateral Trustee to provide a copy of such notice to each Priority Lien Representative) of its intention to deliver a
Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction to the Collateral Trustee to commence an Enforcement Action to the Collateral Trustee (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Priority Lien Representative) as far in advance of
such commencement as is reasonably practicable, and (ii) consult with each Priority Lien Representative on a regular basis in connection with such Enforcement Action. Each Priority Lien Representative hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and the
Priority Lien Secured Parties for which it is acting hereunder, to act in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner consistent with this Agreement in connection with any Enforcement Action. Failure by the Collateral Trustee to deliver a copy
of the Enforcement Action notice to the Priority Lien Representatives shall not affect the enforceability and effectiveness of the Enforcement Action or result in any liability on the part of the Collateral Trustee or the Controlling Priority Lien
Representative. 
 (g) Each of the Priority Lien Representatives and the other Priority Lien Secured Parties may exercise any
rights (i) of termination or acceleration of any Indebtedness or other Obligations owing under their respective Priority Lien Documents, (ii) with respect to the First-Out Representative, to call or forfeit any Collateral Bond or pursue any rights
and remedies under the Texas Statutes or (iii) to demand payment under the guarantee in respect thereof or take any actions and exercise all rights available to it arising out of, relating to, or in respect of, the enforcement of any Lien (other
than a Priority Lien) or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Company or any other Grantor, in each case in accordance with the terms of their respective Priority Lien Documents and applicable law and otherwise consistent
with the order of application in Section 3.4 and the other terms of this Agreement; provided that, during the continuance of any Priority Lien Debt Default under the applicable Priority Lien Documents, the proceeds realized from the
exercise of any set-off rights (other than in respect of Other Credit Support) shall be distributed in accordance with Section 3.4. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, at any time when the Controlling Priority Lien Representative is not the
First-Out Representative, each Priority Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and each Priority Lien Secured Party for which it is acting hereunder, agrees that in a sale or other disposition of any Collateral (or any portion thereof) under
section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or the equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, any other Bankruptcy Law or applicable law, the Collateral Trustee is authorized to credit-bid the First Lien
Obligations so long as such credit bid provides for the Discharge of First-Out Obligations (other than with respect to any Excess First-Out Obligations), and provided that the Collateral Trustee shall have received a Controlling Party Lien
Representative Direction authorizing such credit bid. 

  
 30 








 Section 3.4 Application of Proceeds.

other disposition under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), foreclosure or other realization upon, or any other Enforcement Action with respect to, any Collateral and all assets or amounts received on account of the Collateral or the secured claims

interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable First Lien Documents, even if such interest is not enforceable,
allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding (including all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the First Lien
Documents, even if such interest is not enforceable, allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding, and including the discharge or cash collateralization (in an amount equal to at least the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount required
for release of Liens under the terms of the First Lien Documents) of all outstanding letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances or the backstop thereof pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant issuing bank, if any,
constituting First Lien Obligations and the termination, expiration or other collateral arrangements in respect of Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations that are reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Hedge Bank and the applicable
Cash Management Bank); 
 FIFTH, to the First-Out Representative for application to the payment of any Excess First-Out
Obligations until the Discharge of First-Out Obligations in respect of such Excess First-Out Obligations; and 
 SIXTH,
subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, any surplus remaining after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations will be paid to the Company or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be, its successors or assigns, or to such other Persons
as may be entitled to such amounts under applicable law or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Series of Priority Lien Debt has released its Lien on any Collateral as described below
in Section 4.4, then such Series of Priority Lien Debt and any related Priority Lien Obligations of that Series of Priority Lien Debt thereafter shall not be entitled to share in the proceeds of any Collateral so released by that Series of
Priority Lien Debt. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Trustee shall only apply Proceeds in accordance with this
Section 3.4 to the extent that such Proceeds are actually so received by the Collateral Trustee. 

  
 32 








 (II) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.4(a)(I), (i) if the
Company shall fail to pay to any Term Letter of Credit Issuer any Term Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations as and when required under the Senior Credit Agreement (including accrued but unpaid interest thereon), then the Controlling Priority
Lien Representative shall, by a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction, direct the Collateral Trustee (which direction shall include sufficient information for the Collateral Trustee to meet the requirements of this Section
3.4(a)(II), including without limitation, the amount to be reimbursed, the name and address of the Depositary Bank and the name and address of the Term Loan Letter of Credit Issuer) to instruct the applicable Depositary Bank to promptly withdraw
from the applicable Term Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account for the benefit of such Term Letter of Credit Issuer the applicable amount in accordance with the applicable terms of the Senior Credit Agreement and, upon receipt, such Term Letter
of Credit Issuer shall apply such amount to the Term Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) owed to such Term Letter of Credit Issuer in accordance with the applicable terms of the Senior Credit
Agreement, and (ii) prior to the Discharge of Senior Credit Agreement Obligations in respect of all Term Letters of Credit and all Obligations in respect of such Term Letters of Credit under the Senior Credit Agreement (including all Term Letter of
Credit Reimbursement Obligations), any Proceeds in respect of the Term Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Accounts (and the funds therein) shall be applied to the foregoing Obligations in respect of the Term Letters of Credit in accordance with the
applicable terms of the Senior Credit Agreement prior to application in accordance with Section 3.4(a)(I). 
 (III) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Proceeds of any Collateral shall not be applied to the First Lien Obligations owed to any applicable First Lien Secured Party entitled to Other Credit Support until such First Lien Secured Party shall have
applied any Other Credit Support to the First Lien Obligations owing to it, unless such application is not then permitted under the applicable First Lien Document, the terms of any relevant Other Credit Support or applicable law. 

(IV) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Proceeds of any Mined Land Under Permit shall not be applied to any Obligations
payable under Section 3.4(a)(I) SECOND, THIRD or FIFTH and such proceeds shall instead by applied in accordance with Section 3.4(a)(I) without giving effect to Section 3.4(a)(I) SECOND, THIRD or FIFTH. 

(b) If any portion of the proceeds of the Collateral is in the form of cash, then such cash shall be applied pursuant to the
priorities set forth in this Section 3.4 before any non-cash proceeds are applied pursuant to the priorities set forth in this Section 3.4; provided that, irrespective of the terms of any plan of reorganization or other plan in an
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor (including the confirmation of such plan of reorganization pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or the equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Laws), each of the Priority Lien
Debt Representatives hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the Collateral Trustee amounts otherwise received or receivable by them under such plan to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 3.4. If any Priority
Lien Secured Party collects or receives any proceeds of an Enforcement Action, proceeds of any title or other insurance, and any proceeds subject to Liens that have been avoided or otherwise 

  
 33 








 
invalidated that should have been applied to the payment of the Priority Lien Obligations in accordance with Section 3.4(a) above, whether prior to or after the commencement of an
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, such Priority Lien Secured Party will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Trustee, for the account of the applicable Priority Lien Secured Parties, to be applied in accordance with
Section 3.4(a). Until so delivered, such proceeds shall be segregated and will be held in trust by that Secured Party for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties. 

(c) To the extent any Priority Lien Secured Party or Priority Lien Representative receives cash, property or other assets on
account of its claim in respect of any Priority Lien Obligations in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, such cash, property or other assets will be delivered to the Collateral Trustee for application in accordance with Section 3.4(a)
(including all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable Priority Lien Documents or other documentation in respect
of Priority Lien Obligations, even if such interest is not enforceable, allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding) until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. 

(d) If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Priority Lien Debt Default, any Discharge of First Lien
Obligations occurs by way of the exercise of any rights of set-off, banker’s liens or consolidation of accounts prior to the Discharge of First-Out Obligations (other than with respect to any Excess First-Out Obligations and other than by way
of realization on Mined Land Under Permit, Other Credit Support or the Term Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Accounts), the relevant Priority Lien Secured Party shall immediately segregate and hold an amount equal to the amount so discharged in
trust for application to the First-Out Obligations and forthwith deliver such amount to the Collateral Trustee as provided in this Section 3.4. 

(e) This Section 3.4 is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each
present and future holder of Priority Lien Obligations, each present and future Priority Lien Representative, the Collateral Trustee as holder of Priority Liens, the Company and each Grantor. The Priority Lien Representative of each future Series of
Priority Lien Debt will be required to deliver a Collateral Trust Joinder including an Additional Secured Debt Designation as provided in Section 3.8 at the time of incurrence of such Series of Priority Lien Debt. 

(f) In connection with the application of proceeds pursuant to this Section 3.4, except as otherwise
directed by the Controlling Priority Lien Representative in a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction, the Collateral Trustee may sell any non-cash proceeds for cash prior to the application of the proceeds thereof. 

(g) In making the determinations and allocations in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Collateral
Trustee may conclusively rely upon a notice provided by the relevant Priority Lien Representative as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Series of the Priority Lien Debt for which it acts
as Priority Lien Representative and the Collateral Trustee shall have no 

  
 34 








 
liability to any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, the Grantors or any other Person for actions taken in reliance on such information. Promptly following the reasonable request of the
Collateral Trustee, the applicable Priority Lien Representative shall deliver to the Controlling Priority Lien Representative, the Collateral Trustee and the Company a certificate setting forth the information described above (and the Collateral
Trustee may rely thereon). All distributions made by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final, and the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to
inquire as to the application by any Priority Lien Representative in respect of any amounts distributed to such Priority Lien Representative.

Section 3.5 Powers of the Collateral Trustee. 

(a) The Collateral Trustee is irrevocably authorized and empowered to enter into and perform its obligations and, to the extent
provided in this Agreement and applicable law, protect, perfect, exercise and enforce its interest, rights, powers and remedies under the Security Documents (including in connection with any Enforcement Action and in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding) and applicable law and in equity, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to act as set forth in this Article 3 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, and the other Security
Documents to which it is a party and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Trustee by the terms of this Agreement, or, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, as requested in any
lawful directions given to it from time to time in respect of any matter in a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction. 

(b) No Priority Lien Representative or holder of Priority Lien Obligations (other than the Collateral Trustee) will have any
liability whatsoever to any other Priority Lien Representative or holder of Priority Lien Obligations for any act or omission of the Collateral Trustee, and the Collateral Trustee will have no liability whatsoever for any act or omission of any
Priority Lien Representative or any holder of Priority Lien Obligations. 
 Section 3.6 Documents and Communications. The
Collateral Trustee will permit each Priority Lien Representative upon reasonable written notice and at reasonable times from time to time to inspect and copy, at the cost and expense of the party requesting such copies, any and all Security
Documents and other documents, notices, certificates, instructions or communications received by the Collateral Trustee in its capacity as such. 

Section 3.7 For Sole and Exclusive Benefit of Holders of Priority Lien Obligations. The Collateral Trustee will accept, hold,
administer and enforce, to the extent provided in this Agreement, all Liens on the Collateral at any time transferred or delivered to it and all other interests, rights, powers and remedies at any time granted to or enforceable by the Collateral
Trustee and all other property of the Trust Estate solely and exclusively for the benefit of the present and future holders of present and future Priority Lien Obligations, and will distribute all proceeds received by it from an Enforcement Action
solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4. 

  
 35 








 Section 3.8 Additional Secured Debt. 

(a) The Collateral Trustee will, as collateral trustee hereunder, perform its undertakings set forth in Section 3.1(a)
with respect to any First Lien Obligations constituting a Series of First Lien Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof or any First-Out Obligations constituting Additional Collateral Bonds and/or related obligations under First-Out
Documents, as applicable, provided after the date hereof; provided that: 
 (i) such First Lien Obligations are
identified as First Lien Debt or such First-Out Obligations are identified as an Additional Collateral Bond and/or related obligations under First-Out Documents in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(b); and 

(ii) unless such debt or bond is issued under an existing Priority Lien Document for any Series of First Lien Debt whose First
Lien Representative is already party to this Agreement or under an existing Collateral Bond with respect to which the First-Out Representative is already a party to this Agreement, the designated Priority, the designated First Lien Representative
identified pursuant to Section 3.8(b) signs a Collateral Trust Joinder and promptly delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee. 

(b) The Company will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of First Lien Debt or First-Out Obligations hereunder
each Person who is, or who becomes, the registered holder of First Lien Debt or First-Out Obligations, as applicable, incurred by the Company or any other Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable
Priority Lien Documents. The Company may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee an Additional Secured Debt Designation that: 

(i) states that the Company or other applicable Grantor intends to incur additional First Lien Debt (“Additional First
Lien Debt”) or an Additional Collateral Bond and/or related obligations under First-Out Documents (any Additional First Lien Debt or Additional Collateral Bond and/or related obligations under First-Out Documents, “Additional
Secured Debt”) that is not prohibited by each applicable Priority Lien Document to be incurred and to be secured with a Priority Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future Priority Lien Debt, but subject to the prior
payment rights of the holders of all First-Out Obligations and certain other Priority Lien Obligations as set forth in Section 3.4(a); 

(ii) specifies the name, address and contact information of the Priority Lien Representative for such series of Additional
Secured Debt for purposes of Section 7.6; 
 (iii) states that the Company or applicable Grantor has duly authorized,
executed (if applicable) and recorded (or caused to be recorded), or agreed to 

  
 36 








 
record (or agreed to cause to be recorded), in each appropriate governmental office all relevant filings and recordations deemed necessary by Company or the Grantors and the holder of such
Additional Secured Debt, or its Priority Lien Representative, to ensure that the Additional Secured Debt will be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the Priority Lien Security Documents, in each case to the extent and as required by the
Priority Lien Security Documents; and 
 (iv) states that the Company has caused a copy of the Additional Secured Debt
Designation and the related Collateral Trust Joinder to be delivered to each then existing Priority Lien Representative and that, as applicable, such Additional First Lien Debt shall constitute First Lien Debt for the purposes of this Agreement or
such Additional Collateral Bond and/or related obligations under First-Out Documents shall constitute First-Out Obligations for the purposes of this Agreement. 

Although the Company shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Secured Debt Designation and each Collateral Trust Joinder to each then existing
Priority Lien Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Secured Debt Designation and/or Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Priority Lien Representative shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional
Secured Debt, if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow Company or any other Grantor to incur additional secured Indebtedness unless
permitted by the terms of all applicable Priority Lien Documents. Liens upon the Collateral to secure Additional Secured Debt, shall be created pursuant to the Security Documents that create Liens upon the Collateral to secure the other
Priority Lien Obligations; provided that, to the extent required by applicable law, such Liens upon the Collateral to secure Additional Secured Debt may be created pursuant to separate Security Documents, which shall be in substantially the
same form as the applicable Security Documents creating the Liens upon the Collateral to secure the other Priority Lien Obligations. Except in respect of Mined Land Under Permit and Other Credit Support, Additional Secured Debt shall not be secured
by Liens upon any property of the Grantors unless the other Priority Lien Obligations are also secured by Liens on such property. Additional Secured Debt may be guaranteed by all of the applicable Guarantors, but shall not be guaranteed by any
Person that is not a Guarantor. 
 (c) With respect to any Priority Lien Obligations constituting Additional Secured Debt
that is issued or incurred after the date hereof, the Company and each of the other Grantors agrees to take such actions (if any) as necessary and as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Trustee, any Priority Lien
Representative or any Controlling Priority Lien Representative, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Guarantees and Security Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Security
Documents) as necessary and as may from time to time be reasonably requested by such Persons (including as contemplated by clause (d) below), to ensure that the Additional Secured Debt, as applicable, is secured by, and entitled to the
benefits of, the Security Documents, and each Priority Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical


  
 37 








 
amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Security Documents). The Company and each other Grantor hereby further agrees that, if there are any recording, filing or other
similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 3.8(c), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Company and the respective other Grantors, on a joint and several
basis. 
 (d) The Company shall have the right, at any time on or after the occurrence of the Discharge of First-Out
Obligations, to enter into any First-Out Document evidencing replacement First-Out Obligations so long as the incurrence thereof is not prohibited by any Priority Lien Documents, and to designate such obligations as First-Out Obligations in
accordance with Section 3.8(b). At any time from and after the date of such designation pursuant to Section 3.8(b), subject to compliance with Sections 3.8(c), the obligations under such First-Out Document shall
automatically and without further action be treated as First-Out Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement. 
 Section 3.9
Priority Lien Agents. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Intercreditor
Agreement, any Priority Lien Document or any Security Document, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 (i) any reference to
the Priority Lien Agent in any Intercreditor Agreement shall refer to the Collateral Trustee; and 
 (ii) the Collateral
Trustee, as Priority Lien Agent under any Intercreditor Agreement, will not be required to take any action under any Intercreditor Agreement unless and until the Controlling Priority Lien Representative directs the Collateral Trustee in a
Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction, as such Priority Lien Agent, to take such action and each Intercreditor Agreement shall so provide. 

(b) In the event any Intercreditor Agreement requires the delivery, or receipt, of any notice by the Priority Lien Agent, such
delivery or receipt will be deemed satisfied in all respects when the Collateral Trustee makes such delivery or receives such notice. 

ARTICLE IV 
 OBLIGATIONS
ENFORCEABLE BY THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER GRANTORS 
 Section 4.1 Release of Liens on Collateral. 

(a) The Priority Liens upon the Collateral will be automatically released in each of the following circumstances: 

(i) as to all Collateral, upon the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations; 

  
 38 








 (ii) as to any Collateral of the Company or any other Grantor that (A) is sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any other Grantor to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) the Company or any other Grantor in a transaction or other circumstance that is not
prohibited by the Senior Credit Agreement and the other Priority Lien Documents or (B) becomes Excluded Collateral; 
 (iii)
as to any Collateral of a Grantor that (A) is released as a Grantor (and Guarantor) under each Priority Lien Document (including as a result of becoming an Excluded Subsidiary) and (B) is not obligated (as primary obligor or guarantor) with
respect to any other Priority Lien Obligations and, in each case, so long as the respective release does not violate the terms of any Priority Lien Document which then remains in effect; 

(iv) as to any other release of any of the Collateral, if (A) consent to the release of that Collateral has been given by the
requisite percentage or number of holders of each Series of Priority Lien Debt at the time outstanding as provided for in the applicable Priority Lien Documents and (B) the Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Collateral
Trustee certifying that all such necessary consents have been obtained; or 
 (v) as to any Collateral of the Company or any
other Grantor that is foreclosed upon by the Collateral Trustee or against which the Collateral Trustee otherwise exercises its rights or remedies (including in connection with an Enforcement Action) (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding is pending at the time) in each case, which results in a disposition of such Collateral. 
 (b) The Collateral
Trustee agrees for the benefit of the Company and the other Grantors that, if the Collateral Trustee at any time receives: 

(i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that (A) the signing Authorized Officer has read Article 4 of this Agreement
and understands the provisions and the definitions relating hereto, (B) such Authorized Officer has made such examination or investigation and has sought legal advice as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether
or not the conditions precedent in this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement and all other Priority Lien Documents, if any, relating to the release of the Collateral have been complied with and (C) in the opinion of such Authorized Officer, such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with; provided, that the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely exclusively on such Officer’s Certificate without independent inquiry; and 

(ii) the proposed instrument or instruments releasing such Lien as to such property in recordable form, if applicable; 

then, promptly following receipt by the Collateral Trustee of a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction, the Collateral Trustee will
execute or otherwise authorize (with such acknowledgements and/or notarizations as are required) and deliver such release to the Company or other applicable Grantor. 

  
 39 








 (c) The Collateral Trustee hereby agrees that in the case of any release pursuant
to Section 4.1(a)(ii), if the terms of any such sale, transfer or other disposition require the payment of the purchase price to be contemporaneous with the delivery of the applicable release, then, at the written request of and at the
expense of the Company or other applicable Grantor, the Collateral Trustee will either (A) at the expense of the Company or other applicable Grantor, have an authorized representative be present at and deliver the release at the closing of such
transaction on behalf of the Collateral Trustee or (B) deliver the release under customary escrow arrangements that permit such contemporaneous payment and delivery of the release on behalf of the Collateral Trustee. 

(d) Each Priority Lien Secured Party acting through its respective Priority Lien Representative and/or by its acceptance of the
Security Documents hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Trustee may, and hereby directs the Collateral Trustee to, provide the releases described in this Section 4.1. 

Section 4.2 Delivery of Copies to Priority Lien Representatives. The Company will deliver to each Priority Lien Representative a
copy of each Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(b), together with copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate and final (executed, if
applicable) versions of such documents. The Priority Lien Representatives will not be obligated to take notice thereof or to act thereon. 

Section 4.3 Collateral Trustee not Required to Serve, File or Record. The Collateral Trustee is not required to serve, file,
register or record any instrument releasing or subordinating its Liens on any Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or any other Grantor makes a written demand by notice to the Priority Lien Representatives and the Collateral
Trustee for a termination statement under Section 9-513(c) of the UCC in the form of an Officers’ Certificate which Officers’ Certificate shall describe in reasonable detail the basis on which Company or any other Grantor has met the
requirements for a termination statement under Section 9-513(c) of the UCC and shall describe the Objection Period (as defined below) and state the expiration date thereof, each Priority Lien Representative shall have twenty (20) business days from
the date of the Officer’s Certificate (the “Objection Period”) to deliver a written objection to the Collateral Trustee. If the Collateral Trustee does not receive a written objection within the Objection Period, the Collateral
Trustee shall promptly, on or after the first business day after the expiration of the Objection Period, authorize such a termination statement and comply with the requirements of Section 9-513(c) of the UCC, as determined and/or directed by the
Company or other Grantor. The Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely on such Officers’ Certificate. 
 Section 4.4 Release of
Liens in Respect of First-Out or First Lien Obligations. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the Collateral Trustee’s Priority Liens will no longer secure: 

(a) the First-Out Obligations, and the right of the First-Out Secured Parties to the benefits and proceeds of the Priority
Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged, upon the Discharge of First-Out Obligations; and 
 (b) the First
Lien Obligations, and the right of the holders of such First Lien Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the Priority Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged, upon (i) the Discharge of First Lien Obligations or
(ii) defeasance of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the applicable First Lien Document if such document provides for a release of Liens on the Collateral upon such defeasance. 

  
 40 








 ARTICLE V 

IMMUNITIES OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE 

Section 5.1 No Implied Duty. The Collateral Trustee will not have any duties nor will it have responsibilities or obligations
other than those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement, the other Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement. No implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the
other Priority Lien Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise exist against the Collateral Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentences, the use of the term “trustee” in this Agreement with
reference to the Collateral Trustee is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is
intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, the
other Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information in any prospectus, offering document or other disclosure material distributed with respect to the Priority Lien Debt on
the transactions described herein, and the Collateral Trustee shall have no responsibility for compliance with any state or federal securities laws in connection therewith. 

Section 5.2 Appointment of Agents and Advisors. The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it in good faith as it may reasonably require and will not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any of them. 
 Section 5.3 Other Agreements. The Collateral Trustee has accepted its appointment as
collateral trustee hereunder and is bound by the Security Documents executed by the Collateral Trustee as of the date of this Agreement, and, as set forth in a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction, the Collateral Trustee shall execute
additional Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements delivered to it after the date of this Agreement (including to secure Obligations arising under Additional Secured Debt to the extent such Obligations are permitted to be incurred and
secured under the Priority Lien Documents); provided that such additional Security Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the Collateral Trustee or conflict with the terms of this Agreement or any
Intercreditor Agreement to which the Collateral Trustee is a party. The Collateral Trustee 

  
 41 








 
will not otherwise be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing Priority Lien Debt (other than this Agreement and the other
Security Documents to which it is a party). 
 Section 5.4 Solicitation of Instructions. 

(a) The Collateral Trustee may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions, in the form of a Controlling Priority
Lien Representative Direction, an Officers’ Certificate or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement or the other Security Documents, and may conclusively rely on such instructions as to such matter and such instructions shall be full warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for
any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents. 

(b) No written or other direction given to the Collateral Trustee by the Controlling Priority Lien Representative, whether by a
Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction or otherwise, that in the sole judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not
set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Security Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction. 

(c) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement
at the request, order or direction of the Controlling Priority Lien Representative, whether by a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction or otherwise, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Priority Lien Secured Parties
or the Controlling Priority Lien Representative shall have furnished to the Collateral Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it for all costs, expenses and liabilities, including, but not limited to, Collateral Trustee’s Fees
and Expenses, which may be incurred therein or thereby. 
 Section 5.5 Limitation of Liability. The Collateral Trustee will
not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Security Document, except for its (or its Affiliates’ or relates parties’) own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct
as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Section 5.6 Documents in Satisfactory
Form. The Collateral Trustee will be entitled, but not obligated, to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement,
be delivered to it in a form reasonably satisfactory to it. 
 Section 5.7 Entitled to Rely. The Collateral Trustee may seek
and conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other


  
 42 








 
experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Company or any other Grantor in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement or delivered to it by any Priority Lien Representative as to the holders of Priority Lien Obligations for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the
propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature believed by it in good faith to be genuine and may assume that any Person
purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to the extent an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel is required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, any such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel
shall be obtained at the expense of the Company or any Grantor, such opinion may be delivered by internal counsel to the Company or any Grantor, and the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel
as to such matter and such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel shall be full warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Security
Documents. 
 Section 5.8 Priority Lien Debt Default. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to inquire as to the
occurrence or absence of any Priority Lien Debt Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Priority Lien Debt Default unless and until the Collateral Trustee is so directed in a
Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction. 
 Section 5.9 Actions by Collateral Trustee. As to any matter not
expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed in a Controlling Priority Lien Representative Direction by the Controlling Priority Lien Representative and
will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted pursuant to hereto or thereto shall be binding on the holders of Priority Lien Obligations. The permissive right of the Collateral Trustee to take actions permitted by
this Agreement shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to take or to continue any action. 
 Section 5.10 Security or
Indemnity in favor of the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or
rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. 

Section 5.11 Rights of the Collateral Trustee. In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this
Agreement and those set forth in any other Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Security Document. In the event there is any good faith disagreement between
the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents do
not unambiguously mandate 

  
 43 








 
the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required
to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed by the Company and the
Controlling Priority Lien Representative or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Section 5.12 Limitations on Duty of
Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income
thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in
any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee will authorize the filing of UCC-3 continuation
statements and will execute and authorize the filing or recording of other documents and instruments to preserve, protect or perfect the security interests granted to the Collateral Trustee (subject to the priorities set forth herein) if it shall
receive a specific written request to do so from any Priority Lien Representative (which written request shall include an instruction to the Collateral Trustee to provide a copy of such request to each other Priority Lien Representative), it being
understood that the Priority Lien Representatives shall be responsible for all filings required in connection with any Security Document (and are hereby authorized to make such filings by the Grantors on behalf of the Collateral Trustee and the
Priority Lien Secured Parties) and the continuation, maintenance and/or perfection of any such filing or the lien and security interest granted in connection therewith. The Grantors hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Trustee to take any
action with respect to any such written request from a Priority Lien Representative and the Collateral Trustee shall be permitted to conclusively rely on any such written request. The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Priority Lien
Representative a copy of any such written request. The Collateral Trustee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment equal to that which it accords its
own property, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the
Collateral Trustee in good faith. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (except as provided in
paragraph 5.12(a)), the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness, condition or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral,
for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the


  
 44 








 
payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to
the current and future holders of the Priority Lien Obligations concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in the value of any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to any Priority Lien
Representative or any holder of Priority Lien Debt to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this or any other Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any other Grantor. 
 Section 5.13 Assumption of Rights, No Assumption of
Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: 
 (a) each of the parties thereto will remain
liable under each of the Security Documents (other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not be executed; 

(b) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties
from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Security Documents; and 
 (c) the Collateral Trustee will
not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Company or any Grantor. 
 Section 5.14 No Liability for Clean Up
of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any trust obligation for the benefit
of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee to incur, or be
exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to
immediately resign as Collateral Trustee (which resignation shall be immediately effective) or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person
for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions or inactions and conduct as authorized, empowered and
directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment. 

Section 5.15 Other Relationships with the Company or Other Grantors. Delaware Trust Company and its Affiliates (and any
successor Collateral Trustee and its Affiliates) may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or
other business with the Company or any other Grantor and its Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Trustee hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Priority Lien Secured 

  
 45 








 
Parties. The Priority Lien Representatives and the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Delaware Trust Company or its Affiliates (and any
successor Collateral Trustee and its Affiliates) may receive information regarding the Company or any other Grantor or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company, such Grantor or
such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to the Priority Lien Representatives or the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any
obligation on the part of Delaware Trust Company (or any successor Collateral Trustee) to advance funds. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall only apply to Delaware Trust Company acting in its capacity as Collateral Trustee under this
Agreement, and shall not apply to Delaware Trust Company acting in another capacity unrelated to this Agreement (it being understood, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse Delaware Trust Company from any obligations it may
have hereunder after an Additional Secured Debt Designation in the event and to the extent it agrees in a separate writing to serve as a Priority Lien Representative or First Lien Representative for any Series of Priority Lien Debt or Series of
First Lien Debt, as applicable, as a result of such Additional Secured Debt Designation). 
 ARTICLE VI

appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee as provided in Section 6.2 and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor Collateral Trustee: 

(a) the Collateral Trustee may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of resignation to

removal, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by the Company with the prior consent of the Controlling Priority Lien Representative and the First-Out Representative or by the Controlling Priority Lien Representative with the prior consent
of the Company and the First-Out Representative. If no successor Collateral Trustee has been so appointed and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the predecessor Collateral Trustee gave notice of resignation or was removed, the retiring

 (a) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; 

(b) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000; and 

(c) that is not the Company or any of its Affiliates or any Priority Lien Representative.

Trustee meeting the requirements of this Section 6.2 has accepted its appointment as Collateral Trustee and the provisions of Section 6.3 have been satisfied.

Collateral Trustee, and the predecessor Collateral Trustee will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; and 

(b) the predecessor Collateral Trustee will (at the expense of the Company) promptly transfer all Liens and collateral security
and other property of the Trust Estate within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Trustee and will execute instruments and assignments as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the
successor Collateral Trustee to transfer to the successor Collateral Trustee all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies of the predecessor Collateral Trustee in respect of the Security Documents or the Trust Estate. 

Thereafter the predecessor Collateral Trustee will remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in Article 5 and the provisions of
Sections 7.8 and 7.9, and said provisions will survive termination of this Agreement for the benefit of the predecessor of the Collateral Trustee. The predecessor Collateral Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever for the actions or
inactions of the successor Collateral Trustee. 
 Section 6.4 Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Collateral Trustee. Any
Person into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Collateral Trustee shall be the successor of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3, provided that (a) without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Person satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in clauses
(a) through (d) of Section 6.2 and (b) prior to any such merger, conversion or consolidation, the Collateral Trustee shall have notified the Company and each Priority Lien Representative thereof in writing.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Agreement has been signed by Delaware Trust Company, not in its individual capacity or personally but in its capacity as
Collateral Trustee, and in no event shall Delaware Trust Company, in its individual capacity, have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of any other party under this Agreement, any Priority
Lien Document or in any of the certificates, reports, documents, data notices or agreements delivered by such other party pursuant hereto or thereto. 

(c) In entering into this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Priority
Lien Documents relating to the rights, exculpations or conduct of, affecting the liability of or otherwise affording protection to the “Collateral Trustee” or any Priority Lien Secured Party thereunder. In no event will the Collateral
Trustee be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors, any Priority Lien Secured Party or any Priority Lien Representative.

to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) solely upon the written instructions contained in a Controlling Priority Lien
Representative Direction as provided herein; provided that neither the Collateral Trustee nor any Priority Lien Representative shall be required to take any action that (i) it in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless it

facsimile or electronically in PDF format), each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together will constitute but one and the same instrument. The parties hereto may sign this Agreement and
any Collateral Trust Joinder and transmit the executed copy by electronic means, including facsimile or pdf files. The electronic copy of the executed Agreement and any Collateral Trust Joinder is and shall be deemed an original signature. 

Section 7.18 Effectiveness. This Agreement will become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the
parties hereto and receipt by each party of written notification of such execution and written or telephonic authorization of delivery thereof. 

Section 7.19 Grantors and Additional Grantors. Each Grantor represents and warrants that it has duly executed and delivered this
Agreement. The Company will cause each Person that hereafter becomes a Grantor or is required by any Priority Lien Document to become a party to this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, by causing such
Person to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a Collateral Trust Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. The Company
shall promptly provide each Priority Lien Representative with a copy of each Collateral Trust Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.19 (including the acknowledgement thereof by the Collateral Trustee); provided
that the failure to so deliver a copy of the Collateral Trust Joinder to any then-existing Priority Lien Representative shall not affect the inclusion of such Person as a Grantor if the other requirements of this Section 7.19 are complied
with. 
 Section 7.20 Continuing Nature of this Agreement. This Agreement, including the priority payment rights of the
First-Out Secured Parties and certain issuing banks under the Senior Credit Agreement as contemplated by Section 3.4, will be reinstated following termination hereof if at any time any payment or distribution in respect of any of the Priority
Lien Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise by any Priority Lien Secured Party, Priority Lien Representative or any representative of any such party (whether by demand,
settlement, litigation or otherwise). If all or any part of a payment or distribution made with respect to the First-Out Obligations is recovered from any holder of Priority Lien Obligations, any Priority Lien Representative in an Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, such payment or distribution received by any holder of Priority Lien Obligations or Priority Lien Representative with respect to the Priority Lien Obligations from the proceeds of any Collateral at any time after
the date of the payment or distribution that is so recovered, whether pursuant to a right of subrogation or otherwise, such Priority Lien Representative or holder of a Priority Lien Obligation, as the case may be, will forthwith deliver the same to
the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable account of the holders of the First-Out Secured Parties to be applied in accordance with Section 3.4. Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held by such Priority Lien Representative or holder of
Priority Lien Obligations, as the case may be, for the ratable benefit of the First-Out Secured Parties. 

  
 57 








 Section 7.21 Insolvency. This Agreement will be applicable both before and after
the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against any Grantor. The relative rights, as provided for in this Agreement, will continue after the commencement of any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis
as prior to the date of the commencement of any such case, as provided in this Agreement. 
 Section 7.22 Rights and Immunities of
Priority Lien Representatives. The Senior Credit Agreement Agent, the First-Out Representative and the Collateral Trustee will be entitled, to the extent applicable to such entity, to all of the rights, protections, immunities and
indemnities set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement or any Collateral Bond, as applicable, and any future Priority Lien Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the credit agreement,
indenture, collateral bond or other agreement governing the applicable Priority Lien Debt with respect to which such Person will act as representative, in each case as if specifically set forth herein. In no event will any Priority Lien
Representative be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors or the Collateral Trustee hereunder. 
 Section 7.23
Intercreditor Agreement. Each Person that is secured hereunder, by accepting the benefits of the security provided hereby, (i) agrees (or is deemed to agree) that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions
of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement; provided that such provisions are not in conflict with this Agreement, and (ii) authorizes (or is deemed to authorize) and instructs (or is deemed to instruct) the Collateral Trustee on behalf of such
Person to enter into, and perform under, any applicable Intercreditor Agreement on terms that do not conflict with this Agreement. At the direction of the Company pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate, the Collateral Trustee agrees to enter into
any Intercreditor Agreement or amendments or joinders to any Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of any Priority Lien Secured Party, to add additional Indebtedness as Priority Lien Debt (to the extent permitted to be incurred and secured by
the applicable Priority Lien Documents) and add other parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) holding such Indebtedness thereto and to establish that the Lien on any Collateral securing such Indebtedness ranks equally with the Liens on
such Collateral securing the other Priority Lien Debt then outstanding, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 3.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that any Lien on any Collateral is
perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral (including control over any account in which Collateral is held), and if such Collateral (or any such account) is in fact in the possession or under the control of an agent or bailee of the
Collateral Trustee (including any Priority Lien Representative or its agents or bailees), the perfection actions and related deliverables described in this Agreement or the other Security Documents (i.e., the Security Documents other than the
Security Document giving rise to such Lien, perfection and control) shall not be required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement,
the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. 
 Section 7.24 Force Majeure. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be
responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of
war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or 

  
 58 








 
natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral
Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 

Section 7.25 U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act,
the Collateral Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a
relationship or opens an account with the Collateral Trustee. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the Collateral Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Collateral Trustee to satisfy the requirements
of the U.S.A. Patriot Act. 
 Section 7.26 Representations and Warranties. Each of the Company and the other Grantors hereby
certify that true and complete copies of the Senior Credit Agreement, together with all Credit Documents (as defined therein), any Intercreditor Agreement, and all other Security Documents with respect to the First Lien Obligations, in each case as
in effect on the date hereof have been delivered to the Collateral Trustee on or before the date hereof. Each of the Company and the other Grantors hereby certify that true and complete copies of the First-Out Documents, any Intercreditor
Agreement, and all other Security Documents with respect to the First-Out Obligations, in each case as in effect on the date hereof have been delivered to the Collateral Trustee on or before the date hereof. 

Section 7.27 Statutory Requirements under the Texas Statutes. Nothing contained herein shall limit or otherwise
modify the rights of Texas Railroad Commission under the Texas Statutes. 

  
 59 








 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Collateral Trust Agreement to be executed
by their respective officers or representatives as of the day and year first above written.
