This AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (DOMESTIC CREDIT PARTIES) dated as of July 28, 2011 (this “Agreement”), among
ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), each direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiary of Parent party hereto (each a “Domestic Subsidiary” and, together with Parent and any other Domestic
Subsidiaries that become parties hereto as contemplated by Section 25 hereof, referred to herein individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
global administrative agent (the “Global Agent”) for the lenders (the “Lenders”) party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as further amended, supplemented or otherwise

 The Lenders have agreed to make loans to Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders to lend under the Credit Agreement are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a guarantee agreement in the form hereof. The Guarantors acknowledge that
they will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit to Borrowers under the Credit Agreement. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans (such term and the other capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein having the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement), the Guarantors are willing to execute and deliver this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. The following terms shall have the meanings specified herein: 

“Creditor” means the Global Agent, each LC Issuer, the Lenders (specifically including any Canadian Lending Installation
of any Lender) and the Designated Hedge Creditors, and the respective successors and assigns of each of the foregoing. 

“Designated Hedge Document” means (i) each Designated Hedge Agreement to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
is now or may hereafter become a party, and (ii) each confirmation, transaction statement or other document executed and delivered in connection therewith to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is now or may hereafter become a party.

 “Designated Hedge Document Obligations” means all amounts, indemnities and reimbursement obligations, direct
or indirect, contingent or absolute, of every type or description, and at any time existing owing by any Designated Hedge Obligor to any Designated Hedge Creditor pursuant to any of the Designated Hedge Documents (including, but not limited to,
interest and fees that accrue after the commencement by or against any Designated Hedge Obligor of any insolvency proceeding under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether such interest and fees are allowed claims in such
proceeding). 

  
 2 








 “Designated Hedge Obligor” means any Borrower and any Domestic Subsidiary
of the Parent that is now or may hereafter become a party to any Designated Hedge Agreement. 
 “Existing Guaranty of
Payment” means the Guaranty of Payment (Domestic Credit Parties) dated as of April 15, 2008, among Parent, each direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiary of Parent party thereto, and Global Agent. 

“Guaranteed Documents” means (i) the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Letter of Credit and all other Loan Documents
to which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is now or may hereafter become a party, and (ii) each Designated Hedge Agreement and other Designated Hedge Document to which any Designated Hedge Obligor is now or may hereafter become a
party. 
 “Guaranteed Obligations” means the Obligations and the Designated Hedge Document Obligations.

 “Guaranteed Party” means each Borrower, each other Domestic Credit Party and each Designated Hedge Obligor.

 “Original Currency” has the meaning provided in Section 19 hereof. 

“Other Currency” has the meaning provided in Section 19 hereof. 

SECTION 2. Each of the Guarantors unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary
obligor and not merely as a surety: (i) to the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders (specifically including any Canadian Lending Installation of any Lender) the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Obligations; and (ii) to each Designated Hedge Creditor the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Designated Hedge Document
Obligations. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any
extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 
 SECTION 3. Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives
acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any guaranty of any
other Person. The obligations of each of the Guarantors shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of any
of the following: (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to any Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise; (b) any modification or amendment of or
supplement to the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any
Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or any insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or
instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which such Guarantor may have at any time against any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any
Lender 

  
 3 








 
or any other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any
agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (g) any other act or
omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such
Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 3 other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 4. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guarantee of payment when due and not of collection and is
in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from any Guaranteed Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Guaranteed Party, or any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever, and waives any right to require that resort
be had by the Global Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Global Agent or any Lender in favor of the Borrowers or any other person.
In addition to the foregoing, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Creditors the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Guaranteed Party, whether or not due
or payable by the obligor thereon, upon the occurrence in respect of such Guaranteed Party or other applicable obligor of any Insolvency Event, and unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations
to the Global Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, on demand, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents governing such Guaranteed Obligations. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation,
each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Creditors, that, should any amounts constituting Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party for any reason
whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Guaranteed Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming, at any time, voidable, void, unenforceable, or otherwise
invalid under any applicable law), then notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by the Global Agent, any other Creditor, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, as sole, original and
independent obligor, upon demand by the Global Agent, will make payment to the Global Agent, for the account of the Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is
provided in the Guaranteed Documents. Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Global Agent, on behalf of the Creditors, may enforce this Agreement up to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against any Guarantor without
proceeding against any other Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party or any other Person. 
 SECTION 5. The obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any
defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Global Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement, by
any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of
any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Borrowers or any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations). 

  
 4 








 SECTION 6. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Global Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or otherwise. 
 SECTION 7. In furtherance of the foregoing and
not in limitation of any other right which the Global Agent or any Lender has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrowers to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Global Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Global Agent for
distribution to the Lenders, if and as appropriate, in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Guarantor hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of a Guarantor by the Global
Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Global Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers or any guarantee or right of offset held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether
contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise), nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all
amounts owing to the Global Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity and similar rights, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Global Agent to be credited and applied to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any
term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by that Guarantor
without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

SECTION 8. Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants that: (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement are within its corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, powers, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, and (if necessary) stockholder or member, as applicable, action, and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of its
certificate of incorporation or certificate of formation, as applicable, or bylaws or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, or any material agreement or instrument binding upon it; (c) it has duly executed and delivered this
Agreement and each other Loan Document, if any, to which it is party; (d) no consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, is required to authorize or is required as a condition to
(i) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of any Loan Document to which it is a party, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document to which such Guarantor is a party;
(e) there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened against or affecting such Guarantor that (i) with respect thereto, there is a
reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) expressly
contest the validity of this Agreement; and (f) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

  
 5 








 SECTION 9. The guarantees made hereunder shall survive and be in full force and
effect so long as any Guaranteed Obligation is outstanding and has not been indefeasibly paid, and shall be reinstated to the extent provided in Section 6. 
 SECTION 10. This Agreement and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Global Agent and the
Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. None of the Guarantors shall be permitted to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. 

SECTION 11. All amounts received by the Global Agent pursuant to, or in connection with the enforcement of, this Agreement,
together with all amounts and other rights and benefits realized by any Creditor (or to which any Creditor may be entitled) by virtue of this Agreement, shall be applied as provided in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement. 

SECTION 12. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 11.01
of the Credit Agreement, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Global Agent and each other Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the Global Agent or any of the other Creditors). 

SECTION 13. No failure on the part of the Global Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by the Global Agent or any Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy. All remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. Except as provided in the Credit Agreement, none of the Global Agent or the Lenders shall be deemed to have
waived any rights hereunder or under any other agreement or instrument unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by such parties. 
 SECTION 14. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF OHIO WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE GUARANTORS HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF OHIO GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, or of the United States for the Northern District of
Ohio, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Guarantor hereby further
irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address for notices
pursuant to Section 15 hereof, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing or at such earlier time as may be provided under applicable law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Global Agent to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Guarantor in any other jurisdiction. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of
the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to in this Section 14 and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in
any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

  
 6 








 SECTION 15. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and
given as provided in Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any communication or notice hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the address or telecopy or telex number specified in the Credit
Agreement. 
 SECTION 16. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 17. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor whether or not action is brought
against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any Guaranteed Party, and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Parties or any Guaranteed Party joined in any such action or actions. 

SECTION 18. Each Guarantor confirms that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Guaranteed Documents has been made
available to its principal executive officers, that such officers are familiar with the contents thereof and of this Agreement, and that it has executed and delivered this Agreement after reviewing the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement,
the other Guaranteed Documents and this Agreement and such other information as it has deemed appropriate in order to make its own credit analysis and decision to execute and deliver this Agreement. Each Guarantor confirms that it has made its own
independent investigation with respect to the creditworthiness of the Guaranteed Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and is not executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance on any representation or warranty by the Global Agent or
any other Creditor or any other Person acting on behalf of the Global Agent or any other Creditor as to such creditworthiness. Each Guarantor expressly assumes all responsibilities to remain informed of the financial condition of the Guaranteed
Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any circumstances affecting (a) any Guaranteed Party’s or any of its Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the
other Guaranteed Documents to which it is a party, or (b) any other guaranty for all or any part of such Guaranteed Party’s or such Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s payment and performance obligations thereunder; and each Guarantor
further agrees that the Global Agent and the other Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or the risks such Guarantor undertakes in this Agreement. 

SECTION 19. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any
currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”) each Guarantor, the Global Agent and the other Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, agree, to the fullest extent that
they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Global Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency at the Payment Office on the second Business
Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of a Guarantor in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Global Agent or any other Creditor hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other
Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case
may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, in
the Original Currency, such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so
purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Global Agent or any other Creditor, 

  
 7 








 
as the case may be, in the Original Currency, the Global Agent or such other Creditor, as the case may be, agrees to remit to such Guarantor such excess. 

SECTION 20. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is terminated in
accordance with its terms, such Guarantor shall take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no Default or Event of Default, is caused by the actions or inactions of such
Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 21. The relationship among any Guarantor and its Affiliates, on the
one hand, and the Global Agent and the other Creditors, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Global Agent and the other Creditors have no fiduciary or other special relationship with any Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates, and no term or provision of any Guaranteed Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor. 

SECTION 22. This Guarantee may be released with respect to any Subsidiary that ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor as a
result of a transaction that is permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 23. This Agreement may be
executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument; provided that this Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to
each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be
effective with respect to any Guarantor when a counterpart which bears the signature of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Global Agent. 
 SECTION 24. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING), OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 24. 
 SECTION 25. Upon execution and delivery by the Global Agent and any subsequently acquired or organized Domestic Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1 attached hereto, such
subsequently acquired or organized Domestic Subsidiary shall, if so required by the terms of the Credit Agreement, become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery
of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 26. The parties hereto agree that, on the Closing Date, without further action by any party
hereto: (a) the Existing Guaranty is amended and restated in its entirety in the form of this Agreement; (b) all Guaranteed Obligations outstanding under the Existing Guaranty, to the extent not paid on the


  
 8 








 
Closing Date, shall be Guaranteed Obligations outstanding hereunder; and (c) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Existing Guaranty shall be deemed to refer without further
amendment to this Agreement.

 The Guarantors have entered into the Agreement
in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Borrowers (such term and other capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein having the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement and the Credit Agreement). Section 25
of the Agreement provides that additional Domestic Subsidiaries may become Guarantors under the Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Domestic Subsidiary (the “New
Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement to become a Guarantor under the Agreement. As a Subsidiary, the New Guarantor acknowledges that it derives substantial benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit
Agreement. 
 Accordingly, the Global Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 25 of the Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor
under the Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder. Each reference to a
“Guarantor” in the Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
 SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general applicability. 

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Global Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Guarantor.

 SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect.

with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Agreement, and of any such provision with respect
to any other Guarantor, shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 15 of the Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Guarantor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below.
