(a)    To secure the payment of the Parity Lien Obligations and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, each of the Grantors hereby ratifies and 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 Parity Lien Secured Parties, on all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Collateral and on all Liens now granted, previously granted or hereafter granted to the Collateral Trustee by each Grantor under any
Parity Lien Security Document for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, together with all of the Collateral Trustee’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Parity Lien Security Documents, and all interests, rights, powers and

the payment and satisfaction of all of the Parity Lien Obligations will be secured, subject to Section 3.4 of this Agreement, equally and ratably by the Parity Lien established in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Parity

any Guarantor and any Grantor shall include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency or Liquidation

 Section 2.5 Certain Bankruptcy Matters. 

(a)    If any Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy
Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include a
roll-up of the First-Out Obligations (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include the
holders of First-Out Obligations (the “DIP Lenders”), under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral or the sale of property that constitutes Collateral
under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, that is not objected to by the Senior Third Lien Administrative Agent or otherwise in accordance with an Act of the Parity Lien Debtholders, each Parity Lien Secured Party (other than the Senior Third
Lien Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee upon an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders) agrees that it will not raise any objection to, or support any Person objecting to, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any such financing or to the Liens
on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral or sale that constitutes Collateral (including any, bid or sale procedure in respect thereof), unless the Senior Third Lien
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Trustee upon an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral or sale of Collateral (and (i) to the extent that
such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Collateral for the benefit of the holders of First-Out Obligations, each other holder of any Parity Lien Obligations will consent to the
subordination of its Liens with respect to such Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the holders of First-Out Obligations (other than any Liens of any holders of
First-Out Obligations constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such
Collateral granted to secure the Parity Lien Obligations, each other holder of Parity Lien Obligations will confirm the priorities with respect to such Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Parity Lien Secured Parties
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 Parity Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the holders of First-Out Obligations
constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Parity Lien Secured Parties of each Series of Parity Lien Debt are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Parity 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 Parity
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 Parity Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 3.4 of this Agreement and
(D) if any Parity 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 of this 

  
 17 








 
Agreement; and provided, further, that the Parity Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Parity Lien Secured Party receiving adequate
protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Parity Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral. 

(b)    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the First-Out
Obligations (and the Collateral securing such Obligations) constitute a separate and distinct class and separate and distinct claims from the other Parity Lien Obligations (and the security therefor). To further effectuate the intent of the parties
as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First-Out Secured Parties and the Last-Out 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 shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims
against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (for this purpose ignoring all claims in respect of any Last-Out Obligations) and the First-Out Secured Parties shall
be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them from, or in respect of, the Collateral, payment in full, in cash, of all First-Out Obligations, 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 Last-Out Secured
Parties who are not First-Out Secured Parties, with the Junior Third Lien Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Last-Out Secured Parties who are not First-Out Secured Parties) and the Last-Out Secured Parties who are not First-Out Secured Parties acknowledging and agreeing to turn
over to the First-Out Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the
claim or recovery of the Last-Out Secured Parties who are not First-Out Secured Parties.

Section 3.3(a) shall require Collateral Trustee to take any action, or refrain to take any action which, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose Collateral
Trustee to liability or that is contrary to any Parity Lien Documents or applicable Governmental Requirement. No Parity Lien Secured Party will contest, protest or object to the exercise of any enforcement right relating to the Collateral brought by
the Collateral Trustee 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. 

(b)    Each Parity Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the Parity Lien Secured Parties for which it is acting
hereunder, agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any Collateral for the benefit of any Parity Lien Obligations (other than (i) funds deposited for the satisfaction, discharge, redemption or defeasance of any Series of Parity Lien Debt and
(ii) cash collateral deposited with any Parity Lien Representative or Parity Lien Secured Party in accordance with the terms of the applicable Parity Lien Documents) other than pursuant to the Parity Lien Security Documents, and by executing
this Agreement (or a Collateral Trust Joinder), each Parity Lien Representative and each Parity Lien Secured Party for which it is acting hereunder agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Security Documents
applicable to it. 
 (c)    Each Parity Lien Representative (in such capacity), on behalf of itself and each Parity 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 Parity Lien Obligations or any Parity Lien Document or the validity,
attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any Parity 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 marshalled 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) [RESERVED]; (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; (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; (vii) it will not object to, or otherwise contest (or support any Person contesting), (A) any request by the Collateral Trustee or Senior Third Lien Collateral Trustee for adequate protection on account of the
Collateral or (B) any objection by the Collateral Trustee or Senior Third Lien Collateral Trustee 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 on a first priority basis to the Parity Liens for costs or expenses of
preserving or disposing any Collateral; and (ix) other than as otherwise provided herein, oppose or otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting) any lawful exercise by the Collateral Trustee or any
First-Out Secured Party of the right to credit bid at any sale of Collateral; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Collateral Trustee
or any other Parity Lien Secured Party to enforce this Agreement. 

  
 21 








 Section 3.4 Application of Proceeds. 

(a)    Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trustee will apply the proceeds of any
collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon, or exercise of any right or remedy with respect to, any Collateral, any distribution received in connection with an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding concerning the Company, any Guarantor
and/or any Grantor (including, without limitation, any distribution of debt or equity securities in full or partial satisfaction or waiver of any claims of any holder of Parity Lien Obligations against any Grantor in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding) and the proceeds of any title insurance or other insurance policy required under any Parity Lien Document or otherwise covering the Collateral, and any condemnation proceeds with respect to the Collateral, in the following order of
application: 
 FIRST, to the payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of the Collateral Trustee’s
fees and any reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the Collateral Trustee or any co-trustee or agent of the Collateral Trustee in connection with any Parity
Lien Security Document (including, but not limited to, indemnification obligations); 
 SECOND, to the applicable Parity Lien
Representatives equally and ratably for application to the payment of all outstanding First-Out Obligations that are then due and payable in such order as may be provided in the Parity Lien Documents relating
to the First-Out Obligations in an amount sufficient to pay in full in cash all outstanding First-Out Obligations; 

THIRD, to the respective Parity Lien Representatives equally and ratably for application to the payment of all other
outstanding Parity Lien Debt and any other Parity Lien Obligations that are then due and payable in such order as may be provided in the Parity Lien Documents in an amount sufficient to pay in full in cash all outstanding Parity Lien Debt and all
other Parity Lien Obligations that are then due and payable (including, to the extent legally permitted, 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 Parity Lien Documents, even if such interest is not enforceable, allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding); 

FOURTH, as otherwise required by the Intercreditor Agreement; and 

FIFTH, any surplus remaining after the payment in full in cash of the amounts described in the preceding clauses will be paid
to the Company or the applicable Grantor or Guarantor, as the case may be, its successors or assigns, and as directed in writing by the Company, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Series of Parity Lien Debt has released its Lien on any Collateral as described below in
Section 4.4, then such Series of Parity Lien Debt and any related Parity Lien Obligations of that Series of Parity Lien Debt thereafter shall not be entitled to share in the proceeds of any Collateral
so released by that Series of Parity Lien Debt. 

  
 22 








 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. 

(b)    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 Parity Lien Obligations, each present and future Parity Lien Representative and the Collateral Trustee as holder of Parity Liens. The Parity Lien Representative of each
future Series of Parity 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 Parity Lien Debt. 
 (c)    In connection with the application of proceeds pursuant to
Section 3.4(a), except as otherwise directed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, the Collateral Trustee may sell any non-cash proceeds for cash prior to the
application of the proceeds thereof. 
 (d)    In making the determinations and allocations in accordance with
Section 3.4(a), the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the relevant Parity Lien Representative as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts
outstanding with respect to its respective Parity Lien Debt and any other Parity Lien Obligations and if such Parity Lien Representative does not provide such information to the Collateral Trustee, then the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely
upon such information provided by the Company. 
 (e)    Each Parity Lien Secured Party (a “Receiving
Party”) agrees that, so long as the Discharge of First-Out Obligations has not occurred, any and all Collateral (or assets and property purported to be Collateral) or proceeds thereof or any
distributions in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding received by any Parity Lien Secured Party (in the form of cash or otherwise) pursuant to any Parity Lien Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable
law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or in connection with any disposition of, collection on, or in connection with any insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation) with respect to, such Collateral
(each a “Shared Payment”), is to be paid to the Collateral Trustee, which shall distribute such proceeds among the Parity Lien Secured Parties in accordance with Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, a Shared Payment includes any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, stock, debt securities or obligations (and the proceeds thereof), which may be payable or
deliverable in respect of the Collateral and/or as distributions in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 

(f)    If any portion of a Shared Payment 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 Shared Payments are applied pursuant to the priorities set forth in this
Section 3.4; provided that, irrespective of the terms of any Plan of Reorganization (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 Parity Lien Debt Representatives hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the Collateral Trustee any Shared Payments otherwise received or receivable by them under such
Plan of Reorganization or otherwise to the extent 

  
 23 








 
necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 3.4. If any Parity Lien Secured Party collects or receives any proceeds of any exercise of any
right or remedy with respect to any Collateral or proceeds thereof, proceeds of any title or other insurance or any other Shared Payment, and any proceeds subject to Liens that have been avoided or otherwise invalidated that should have been applied
to the payment of the First-Out 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
Parity Lien Secured Party will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Trustee, for the account of the applicable Parity 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 Parity Lien Secured Party for the benefit of the applicable Parity Lien Secured Parties. 

(g)    To the extent any Parity Lien Secured Party or Parity Lien Representative receives a Shared Payment or other cash,
property or assets in respect of any Parity Lien Obligation from 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). 
 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
protect, perfect, exercise and enforce its interest, rights, powers and remedies under the Parity Lien Security Documents and applicable law and in equity and to act as set forth in this Article 3 or,
subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, as requested in any directions given to it in writing from time to time in respect of any matter by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders. 

(b)    No Parity Lien Representative or holder of Parity Lien Obligations (other than the Collateral Trustee) will have
any liability whatsoever 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 Parity Lien Representative or any holder of Parity Lien Obligations. 

Section 3.6 Documents and Communications. The Collateral Trustee will permit each Parity Lien Representative and each holder of
Parity Lien Obligations 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 Parity Lien 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 Parity Lien Obligations. The Collateral Trustee will accept, hold, administer and enforce 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 Parity Lien Obligations, and will
distribute all proceeds received by it in realization thereon or from enforcement thereof solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4. 

  
 24 








 Section 3.8 Additional Parity Lien Debt. 

(a)    The Collateral Trustee will, as trustee hereunder, perform its undertakings set forth in
Section 3.1(a) with respect to any Parity Lien Obligations constituting a Series of Parity Lien Debt that is issued or incurred on or after the date hereof, provided that: 

(i)    such Parity Lien Obligations are identified as Parity Lien Debt in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 3.8(b); and 
 (ii)    unless such
debt is issued under an existing Parity Lien Document for any Series of Parity Lien Debt whose Parity Lien Representative is already party to this Agreement, the designated Parity Lien Representative identified pursuant to
Section 3.8(b) signs a Collateral Trust Joinder and delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee. 

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

(i)    states that the Company or applicable Grantor intends to incur additional Parity Lien Debt
(“Additional Parity Lien Debt”) that is permitted by each applicable Parity Lien Document to be secured with a Parity Lien equally and ratably (but subject to Section 3.4 of this Agreement) with all previously existing
and future Parity Lien Debt; 
 (ii)    specifies the name, address and contact information of the Parity
Lien Representative for such series of Additional Parity Lien Debt for purposes of Section 7.6; 

(iii)    attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate a Reaffirmation
Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A of this Agreement, which Reaffirmation Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and each Grantor and Guarantor; and 

(iv)    states that the Company has caused a copy of the Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate and the
related Collateral Trust Joinder to be delivered to each then existing Parity Lien Representative. 
 Although the Company shall be required to deliver a
copy of each Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate and each Collateral Trust Joinder to each then existing Parity Lien Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate and/or Collateral Trust Joinder
to any then existing Parity Lien Representative shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Parity Lien Debt if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. Each of the
Collateral Trustee and the other then existing Parity Lien Representatives shall receive a legal opinion or opinions of counsel (subject to customary assumptions and 

  
 25 








 
qualifications) from the Company as to the Additional Parity Lien Debt being permitted by the terms of the Parity Lien Documents and secured by a valid and perfected security interest in the
Collateral; provided that (i) such legal opinion or opinions need not address any Collateral of a type not previously covered by any legal opinion delivered by or on behalf of the Company and (ii) nothing shall preclude such legal
opinion or opinions from being delivered on a post-closing basis after the incurrence of such Additional Parity Lien Debt if permitted by the Parity Lien Representative for such Additional Parity Lien Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
this Agreement will be construed to allow the Company, any Grantor or any Guarantor to incur additional Indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of all applicable Parity Lien Documents. Liens upon the Collateral to secure Additional
Parity Lien Debt shall be created pursuant to the Parity Lien Security Documents that create Liens upon the Collateral to secure the other Parity Lien Obligations; provided that, to the extent required by applicable law, such Liens upon the
Collateral to secure Additional Parity Lien Debt may be created pursuant to separate Parity Lien Security Documents, which shall be in substantially the same form as the applicable Parity Lien Security Documents creating the Liens upon the
Collateral to secure the other Parity Lien Obligations. Additional Parity Lien Debt shall not be secured by Liens upon any Collateral unless the other Parity Lien Obligations are also secured by Liens on such Collateral. Additional Parity Lien Debt
shall be guaranteed by all of the applicable Guarantors and shall not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a Guarantor. 

(c)    With respect to any Parity Lien Obligations constituting a Series of Parity Lien Debt that is issued or incurred
after the date hereof, the Company and each of the Grantors and Guarantors agrees to take such actions (if any) as necessary and as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Trustee, any Parity Lien Representative or any Act of
Parity Lien Debtholders, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Guarantees and Parity Lien Security Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Parity Lien 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 Parity Lien Debt is secured by, and entitled
to the benefits of, the Parity Lien Security Documents, and each Parity Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications
and/or supplements (and additional Parity Lien Security Documents). The Company and each Grantor and Guarantor 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) or Section 3.8(d), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Company and the respective
Grantors and Guarantors, on a joint and several basis. 
 (d)    Without limitation of the foregoing, each Grantor
agrees to take the following actions with respect to any real property Collateral (including Oil and Gas Properties) with respect to all Additional Parity Lien Debt (it being understood that any such actions may be taken following the incurrence of
any such Additional Parity Lien Debt on a post-closing basis if permitted by the Parity Lien Representative for such Additional Parity Lien Debt): 

(i)    each applicable Grantor shall enter into, and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a mortgage
modification or new mortgage or deed of trust with regard to each real property subject to a mortgage or deed of trust (each such mortgage or deed of trust a “Mortgage” and each such property a “Mortgaged
Property”), in proper form for recording in all applicable jurisdictions; 

  
 26 








 (ii)    each applicable Grantor will cause to be delivered a
local counsel opinion (subject to customary assumptions and qualifications) to the effect that the Collateral Trustee has a valid and perfected Lien with respect to each such Mortgaged Property; and 

(iii)    each applicable Grantor will cause a title company to have delivered to the Collateral Trustee an
endorsement to each title insurance policy for any real property Collateral (excluding Oil and Gas Properties), if any, then in effect for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, date down(s) or other evidence (which may include a new title
insurance policy) (each such delivery, a “Title Datedown Product”), in each case insuring that (x) the priority of the Liens of the applicable Mortgage(s) as security for the Parity Lien Obligations has not changed and,
if a new Mortgage is entered into, that the Lien of such new Mortgage securing the Parity Lien Debt then being incurred shall have the same priority vis-a-vis any other outstanding indebtedness (other than Parity Lien Obligations) as any existing
Mortgage securing then existing Parity Lien Obligations, (y) since the later of the original date of such title insurance product and the date of the Title Datedown Product delivered most recently prior to (and not in connection with) such
additional Indebtedness, there has been no change in the condition of title and (z) there are no intervening liens or encumbrances which may then or thereafter take priority over the Lien of the applicable Mortgage(s), in each case other than
with respect to Liens permitted by each Parity Lien Document; provided, however, to the extent the real property Collateral is located in Texas, the foregoing shall only apply to the extent permitted by the procedural rules promulgated
by the Texas department of insurance. 
 The Company will deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Collateral Trustee confirming that
the foregoing conditions have been satisfied. 
 (e)    Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that
(x) the Indebtedness created under the Senior Third Lien Credit Agreement and (y) the Indebtedness created under the Junior Third Lien Credit Agreement, in each case, constitutes Parity Lien Debt. 

Section 3.9 Post-Petition Interest. No Parity Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge or support any Person
challenging any claim by the Collateral Trustee or any other Parity Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of post-petition interest (at the rate provided for in the Parity Lien Documents with respect thereto),
fees or expenses in respect of any Parity Lien Obligations. 
 Section 3.10 Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to any Parity Lien Obligations previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever, then such Parity Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of the amount so
rescinded and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and
obligations of the Parity Lien Secured Parties provided for herein.

any Guarantor that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company, any Grantor or any Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company

(viii)    if and to the extent, and in the manner, required by
Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement; or 

(ix)    if the Liens on the Collateral are released pursuant to a sale of Collateral pursuant to section
363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization, provided that the Liens on such Collateral attach to the proceeds of such sale and any proceeds are applied in accordance with this Agreement. 

(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 and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that
(A) the signing Officer has read Article 4 of this Agreement and understands the provisions and the definitions relating hereto, (B) such officer has made such examination or investigation as

been complied with and (C) in the opinion of such Officer, such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with; and 

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

such acknowledgements and/or notarizations as are required) and deliver evidence of such release to the Company or other applicable Grantor; provided that, in the case of a release of Liens under
Section 4.1(a)(vii), the Collateral Trustee shall execute and deliver such proposed instruments releasing its Liens contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of such similar instruments by the
Priority Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (c)    The Collateral
Trustee hereby agrees that: 
 (i)    in the case of any release pursuant to
Section 4.1(a)(iii), 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,
subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and at the written request of and at the expense of the 

  
 29 








 
Company or other applicable Grantor, the Collateral Trustee will either (A) be present at and deliver the release at the closing of such transaction or (B) deliver the release under
customary escrow arrangements that permit such contemporaneous payment and delivery of the release; and 

(ii)    at any time when a Parity Lien Debt Default has occurred and is continuing, within three Business
Days of the receipt by it of any Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, the Collateral Trustee, pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iv), will deliver a copy of such Act of Parity Lien Debtholders to each Parity Lien
Representative. 
 Section 4.2 Delivery of Copies to Parity Lien Representatives. The Company will deliver to each Parity Lien
Representative (a) 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 (b) copies of all Parity Lien Security Documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee. The Parity 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. Subject to
Section 3.2, the Collateral Trustee is not required to serve, file, register or record any instrument releasing or subordinating its Liens on any Collateral; provided that if the Company or any

with the requirements of such UCC provision as determined and prepared by the Company or Grantor. 
 Section 4.4 Release of
Liens. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, as to any Series of Parity Lien Debt (including the Term Loans), the Collateral Trustee’s Parity Lien will no longer secure
such Series of Parity Lien Debt if such Parity Lien Debt has been paid in full, all commitments to extend credit in respect of such Series of Parity Lien Debt have been terminated and all other Parity Lien Obligations related thereto that are
outstanding and unpaid at the time such Series of Parity Lien Debt is paid are also paid in full, or if otherwise required by the terms of such Parity Lien Debt or the Intercreditor Agreement. 

ARTICLE 5 
 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 Parity Lien Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. No implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Parity Lien Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise exist against the Collateral Trustee. The permissive right of the Collateral Trustee to take or refrain from taking action
hereunder shall not be construed as a duty. 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) obligation, whether before or after an event of default, arising under agency doctrine of 

  
 30 








 
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 Parity Lien Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement. 

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 Parity Lien Security Documents executed by the Collateral Trustee as of the date of this Agreement, and the Collateral Trustee shall at the written request of the Company or the applicable Parity Lien
Representative execute additional Parity Lien Security Documents delivered to it after the date of this Agreement (including to secure Obligations arising under Additional Parity Lien Debt to the extent such Obligations are permitted to be incurred
and secured under the Parity Lien Documents); provided that such additional Parity Lien Security Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the Collateral Trustee or conflict with the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Trustee will not otherwise be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing Parity Lien Debt (other than this Agreement and the other Parity
Lien 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 an Act of Parity
Lien Debtholders, 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 or the other Parity Lien Security Documents, and Collateral Trustee shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining
from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Parity Lien Documents until it shall have received such instructions in the form of an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders as to any action that it may be requested or required to take. 

(b)    No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders 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 Parity Lien Security Documents or
that in Collateral Trustee’s judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose Collateral Trustee to liability or that is contrary to any applicable Governmental Authority will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee. 

  
 31 








 (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 Required Parity Lien Debtholders or pursuant to any Act of Parity Lien Debtholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such holders shall
have furnished to the Collateral Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities including attorneys’ 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 Parity Lien Security Document, except for its own gross negligence 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 experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other
writing delivered to it by the Company, any Grantor or any Guarantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Parity Lien Representative as to the holders of Parity 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
Parity Lien Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. 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, 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 Parity Lien Security Documents. 

Section 5.8 Parity Lien Debt Default. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of
any Parity Lien Debt Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Parity Lien Debt Default unless and until it is directed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders. 

Section 5.9 Actions by Collateral Trustee. As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Parity Lien
Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders 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 Parity Lien Obligations. The Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders. 

  
 32 








 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 (or any omission to perform or exercise) 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 or omitting 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 Parity Lien Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Parity Lien Security Document. In the event there is any bona
fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Parity Lien 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 Parity Lien Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate 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 Parity Lien 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 jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 5.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral. 

(a)    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 execute, file or record UCC-3 continuation statements and 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 execute, file or record the particular continuation statement or other specific
document or instrument by any Parity Lien Representative, it being understood that the Company and/or the applicable Grantor shall be responsible for all filings required in connection with any Parity Lien Security Document and the continuation,
maintenance and/or perfection of any such filing or the lien and security interest granted in connection therewith. The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Parity 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 substantially 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. 

  
 33 








 (b)    The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the existence,
genuineness 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 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 Parity 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 the Trustee or any holder of Parity 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 Parity Lien Security Document or the
Intercreditor Agreement or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company, any Grantor or any Guarantor. 
 Section 5.13
Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: 

(a)    each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Parity Lien 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 Parity Lien 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, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to immediately resign as Collateral Trustee 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.

Trust, National Association 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, any Grantor or any Guarantor and its Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Trustee hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Parity Lien
Representatives or holders of any of the Parity Lien Obligations. The Parity Lien Representatives and the holders of the Parity Lien Obligations acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wilmington Trust, National Association or its Affiliates
(and any successor Collateral Trustee and its Affiliates) may receive information regarding the Company, any Grantor or any Guarantor or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the
Company, such Grantor or Guarantor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that (i) such knowledge is not imputed to the Collateral Trustee and (ii) Wilmington Trust, National Association and its Affiliates shall not be under any obligation to
provide such information to the Parity Lien Secured Parties. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of Wilmington Trust, National Association (or any successor Collateral Trustee) to advance funds. 

Section 5.16 No Liability for Interest. The Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for interest or investment income on any money
or securities received by it, except as the Collateral Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. 
 Section 5.17 Non-Reliance on Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Company or a Grantor of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, any Parity Lien Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to any Parity Lien Secured Party by the
Collateral Trustee hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Parity Lien Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company or any
Grantor that may come into the possession of the Collateral Trustee or any of its Affiliates. 
 ARTICLE 6 

RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE 

Section 6.1 Resignation or Removal of Collateral Trustee. Subject to the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee as provided
in Section 6.2 and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor Collateral Trustee:

resignation to each Parity Lien Representative and the Company; and 
 (b)    the Collateral Trustee may
be removed at any time, with or without cause, by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders. 

  
 35 








 Section 6.2 Appointment of Successor Collateral Trustee. Upon any such resignation or
removal, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders. 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 Collateral Trustee may (at the expense of the Company), at its option, appoint a successor Collateral Trustee, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Collateral
Trustee, which must be a bank or trust company: 
 (a)    authorized to exercise corporate trust powers;
and 
 (b)    having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. 

Until the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee as provided for in this Section 6.2 after the
resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee, all communications and determinations required to be made by, to or through Collateral Trustee shall instead be made by or through the Parity Lien Representatives. From and following the expiration
of such thirty (30) day period, Collateral Trustee shall have the exclusive right, upon one (1) Business Days’ notice to the Parity Lien Representatives, to make its resignation effective immediately. From and following the
effectiveness of such notice, the retiring or removed Collateral Trustee shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Parity Lien Documents. 

Section 6.3 Succession. When the Person so appointed as successor Collateral Trustee accepts such appointment: 

(a)    such Person will succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the predecessor 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 Parity Lien 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. 
 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 (i) 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


  
 36 








 
satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 6.2 and (ii) prior to
any such merger, conversion or consolidation, the Collateral Trustee shall have notified the Company and each Parity Lien Representative thereof in writing. 

Section 6.5 Concerning the Collateral Trustee and the Parity Lien Representatives. 

(a)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties
hereto that this Agreement has been signed by each Parity Lien Representative not in its individual capacity or personally but solely in its capacity as trustee, representative or agent for the benefit of the related holders of the applicable Series
of Parity Lien Debt in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the related Parity Lien Documents, and in no event shall such Parity Lien Representative, in its individual capacity, have any liability for the
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of any other party under this Agreement, any Parity Lien Document or in any of the certificates, reports, documents, data notices or agreements delivered by such other party
pursuant hereto or thereto. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is expressly
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Agreement has been signed by Wilmington Trust, National Association, not in its individual capacity or personally but solely in its capacity as Collateral Trustee, and in no event shall
Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of any other party under this Agreement, any Parity Lien Document or in any of the

hereto that this Agreement has been signed by Wilmington Trust, National Association not in its individual capacity or personally but solely in its capacity as Senior Third Lien Administrative Agent, and in no event shall Wilmington Trust, National
Association or any other Parity Lien Representative, in its individual capacity, have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of any other party under this Agreement, any Parity Lien Document or
in any of the certificates, reports, documents, data notices or agreements delivered by such other party pursuant hereto or thereto. 

(d)    In entering into this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of

 37 








 
refraining from acting) solely upon the instructions of the Required Parity Lien Debtholders; provided that neither the Collateral Trustee nor any Parity Lien Representative shall be required to
take any action that (i) it in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless it receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the applicable holders of the Parity Lien Obligations with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary
to this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or applicable law. 
 ARTICLE 7

(i)    any amendment or supplement that has the effect solely of: 

(A)    adding or maintaining Collateral, securing additional Parity Lien Debt that was otherwise permitted
by the terms of the Parity Lien Documents to be secured by the Collateral or preserving, perfecting or establishing the Liens thereon or the rights of the Collateral Trustee therein, or 

(B)    providing for the assumption of the Company, any Grantor or any Guarantor’s obligations under
any Parity Lien Document in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, any Grantor or such Guarantor to the extent permitted by the terms of the Senior Third Lien Credit
Agreement, the Junior Third Lien Credit Agreement and the other Parity Lien Documents, as applicable, 
 will become effective when executed
and delivered by the Company or any other applicable Grantor party thereto and the Collateral Trustee;

Parity Lien Obligations:

subject to an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders or direction by the Required Parity Lien Debtholders (or amends the provisions of this clause (ii) or the definition of “Act of Parity Lien
Debtholders” or “Required Parity Lien Debtholders”); 
 (B)    to share in the
order of application described in Section 3.4 in the proceeds of enforcement of or realization on any Collateral; or 

  
 38

affected thereby under the applicable Parity Lien Document; and 
 (iii)    no amendment or supplement
that imposes any obligation upon the Collateral Trustee or any Parity Lien Representative or adversely affects the rights of the Collateral Trustee or any Parity Lien Representative, respectively, in its individual capacity as such will become

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 7.1(a) but subject to
Sections 7.1(a)(ii) and 7.1(a)(iii): 

(i)    any mortgage or other Parity Lien Security Document may be amended or supplemented with the approval

vote of holders of Parity Lien Debt, each Series of Parity Lien Debt will cast its votes in accordance with the Parity Lien Documents governing such Series of Parity Lien Debt. The amount of Parity Lien Debt to be voted by a Series of Parity Lien
Debt will equal (1) the aggregate principal amount of Parity Lien Debt held by such Series of Parity Lien Debt (including outstanding letters of credit whether or not then available or drawn), plus (2) other than in connection with an
exercise of remedies, the aggregate unfunded commitments to extend credit which, when funded, would constitute Indebtedness of such Series of Parity Lien Debt (to the extent such unfunded commitments have not been terminated by the holders of such
Series of Parity Lien Debt). Following and in accordance with the outcome of the applicable vote under its Parity Lien Documents, the Parity Lien Representative of each Series of Parity Lien Debt will vote the total amount of Parity Lien Debt under
that Series of Parity Lien Debt as a block in respect of any vote under this Agreement. 
 Upon request of the Collateral Trustee, each Parity Lien
Representative shall provide written notice to the Collateral Trustee of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Parity Lien Debt for which it is the Parity Lien Representative and the information described in clause (2) of the
immediately preceding paragraph.

(a)    The Company and each of the Grantors and Guarantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be
required, or that the Collateral Trustee from time to time may reasonably request to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the holders of Parity Lien Obligations, duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens
upon the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become, or are required by any Parity Lien Document to become, Collateral after the date hereof), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority
required under, the Parity Lien Documents and in connection with any merger, consolidation or sale of assets of the Company, any Grantor or any Guarantor, the property and assets of the Person which is consolidated or merged with or into the
Company, any Grantor or any Guarantor, to the extent that they are property or assets of the types which would constitute Collateral under the Parity Lien Security Documents, shall be treated as after-acquired property and the Company, any Grantor
or such Guarantor shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Parity Liens, in the manner and to the extent required under the Parity Lien Documents. 

(b)    Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee or any Parity Lien Representative at any time and from time
to time, the Company and each of the Grantors and Guarantors will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such Parity Lien Security Documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as may be reasonably
required, or that the Collateral Trustee may request, to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Parity Lien Documents for the benefit of holders of Parity Lien
Obligations; provided that no such Parity Lien Security Document, instrument or other document shall be materially more burdensome upon the Company, any Grantor and the Guarantors than the Parity Lien Documents executed and delivered (or
required to be executed and delivered promptly after the date hereof) by the Company, the Grantors and the Guarantors in connection with the borrowing of the Term Loans on or about the date hereof. 

  
 40 








 (c)    From and after the date hereof, the Company shall, or shall cause the
applicable Grantor or Guarantor to, deliver such documents and takes such actions as are required by the Senior Third Lien Credit Agreement, the Junior Third Lien Credit Agreement and the other Parity Lien Documents.

Trustee or any of its agents or representatives, at reasonable times and intervals upon reasonable prior notice, to visit their offices and sites and inspect any of the Collateral and to discuss matters relating to the Collateral with their
respective officers and independent public accountants. The Company, the Grantors and the Guarantors shall, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, permit the Collateral Trustee or any of its agents or
representatives to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of the Company, the Grantors and the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries, all at the Company’s expense. 

Section 7.4 Successors and Assigns. 

(a)    Except as provided in Section 5.2, the Collateral Trustee may not, in
its capacity as such, delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void. All obligations of the Collateral Trustee hereunder will inure to

 Section 7.9
Indemnity. 
 (a)    The Grantors jointly and severally agree to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless the
Collateral Trustee, each Parity Lien Representative, each holder of Parity Lien Obligations and each of their respective Affiliates and each and all of the directors, officers, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys and agents, and (in each case)
their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns (each of the foregoing, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification
hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liability to the extent such Indemnified Liability is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee. THIS INDEMNITY COVERS ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES. 
 (b)    All amounts due under
this Section 7.9 will be payable within 10 days upon written demand. 

(c)    Each Person that is secured hereunder, by accepting the benefits of the security provided hereby, agrees on a pro

of any other Parity Lien Document). 
 (d)    To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in Section 7.9(a) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they violate any law or public policy, each of the Grantors will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted
to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. 

(e)    No Grantor will ever assert any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for any lost profits or
special, indirect or consequential damages or (to the fullest extent a claim for punitive damages may lawfully be waived) any punitive damages 

  
 44 








 
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Document or any agreement or instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating in any
respect to any Indemnified Liability, and each of the Grantors hereby forever waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such lost profits or special, indirect, consequential or (to the fullest extent lawful) punitive damages,
whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 (f)    The agreements in this
Section 7.9 will survive repayment of all other Parity Lien Obligations and the removal or resignation of the Collateral Trustee and termination of this Agreement. 

Section 7.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in all other respects and of all remaining provisions, and of such provision in all other jurisdictions, will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

BASED UPON OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER PARITY LIEN SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INTENTS AND PURPOSES OF THE OTHER PARITY LIEN SECURITY DOCUMENTS. THE

DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT
EACH PARTY HERETO HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH PARTY HERETO WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS

THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER PARITY LIEN SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING THERETO. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 

Section 7.16 Counterparts, Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by
facsimile), 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 non-editable .pdf files. The electronic copy of the executed Agreement and any Collateral Trust Joinder is and shall be deemed an original
signature. 
 Section 7.17 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 7.18 Grantors and Additional Grantors. Each Grantor represents and warrants that it has duly executed and delivered this
Agreement. The Company will cause each 

  
 46 








 
Person that hereafter becomes a Grantor or is required by any Parity 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 Parity Lien Representative with a copy of each Collateral Trust Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.18; provided that the failure to so deliver
a copy of the Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Parity Lien Representative shall not affect the inclusion of such Person as a Grantor if the other requirements of this Section 7.18 are
complied with. 
 Section 7.19 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 7.20 Rights and Immunities of Parity Lien
Representatives. The Senior Third Lien Administrative Agent, the Junior Third Lien Administrative Agent 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 Third Lien Credit Agreement, Junior Third Lien Credit Agreement and any future Parity Lien Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the credit
agreement, indenture or other agreement governing the applicable Parity 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 Parity Lien Representative be
liable for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors or the Collateral Trustee hereunder. In no event will the Collateral Trustee be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors or any Parity Lien Representative hereunder. 

Section 7.21 Intercreditor Agreement. Each Person that is secured hereunder, by accepting the benefits of the security provided
hereby, (i) consents (or is deemed to consent), to the subordination of Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee as provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) agrees (or is deemed to agree) that it will be bound by, and will take no
actions contrary to, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, and (iii) 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, the
Intercreditor Agreement as “Senior Third Lien Collateral Agent” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) as “Junior Third Lien Collateral Agent” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). The Collateral Trustee agrees to
enter into any amendments or joinders to the Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of any Holder (as defined in the Second Lien Indenture), the Senior Third Lien Administrative Agent or the Junior Third Lien Administrative Agent, to add
additional Indebtedness as Priority Lien Debt, Second Lien Debt or Parity Lien Debt (to the extent permitted to be incurred and secured by the applicable Secured Debt Documents and subject to the provisions of Article 5 of this
Agreement) 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, Second Lien Debt or Parity Lien Debt, as applicable, then outstanding. The foregoing provisions are 

  
 47 








 
intended as an inducement to the lenders under the Parity Lien Documents to extend credit to the Company, as the borrower under the Parity Lien Debt, and such lenders are intended third party
beneficiaries of this provision and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) to the extent that any Lien on any Collateral is perfected by the possession or control of such
Collateral or of any account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Priority Lien Representative, or of agents or bailees of the Priority Lien
Representative, the perfection actions and related deliverables described in this Agreement or the other Parity Lien Security Documents shall not be required and (y) to the extent that any Lien on any Collateral is perfected by the possession
or control of such Collateral or of any account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Second Lien Representative, or of agents or bailees of the Second
Lien Representative, the perfection actions and related deliverables described in this Agreement or the other Second Lien Security Documents shall not be required. 

Section 7.22 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 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 7.23 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 Collateral Trust 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.
