protection payments) or any First Lien Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds
of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party on account of such enforcement of rights or remedies or distribution in respect thereof in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including any adequate protection payments) or received by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with

proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment in full in cash of all amounts owing to each Collateral Agent
(in its capacity as such and, in the case of the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, in its capacity as First Lien Credit Agreement Administrative Agent) pursuant to the terms of any Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to
Section 1.03, to the payment in full in cash of the First Lien Obligations of each Series secured by a valid and perfected security interest in such Shared Collateral on a ratable basis, with
such Proceeds to be applied to the First Lien Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents; provided that following the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with
respect to any Grantor, solely as among the holders of First Lien Obligations and solely for purposes of this clause SECOND and not any other documents governing First Lien Obligations, in the event the value of the Shared Collateral is not
sufficient for the entire amount of Post-Petition Interest on the First Lien Obligations secured by a valid and perfected security interest in such Shared Collateral to be allowed under Sections 506(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any
other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other Bankruptcy Law in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the amount of First Lien Obligations of each Series of First Lien Obligations shall include only the maximum amount of
Post-Petition Interest on the First Lien Obligations secured by a valid and perfected security interest in such Shared Collateral allowable under Sections 506(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy

Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the First Lien Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this
Section 2.01(a), such First Lien Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all First Lien Secured Parties in accordance with
Section 2.03(b) for distribution in accordance with this Section 2.01(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared

Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed
in respect of the Series of First Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the date, time,
method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, the

any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of First Lien Obligations on any Shared
Collateral shall be of equal priority.

respect to Shared Collateral at such time; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding that has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any Grantor, any Authorized Representative or
any other First Lien Secured Party may file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the First Lien Obligations owed to such First Lien Secured Parties; (ii) any Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party
may take any action to preserve or protect the validity and enforceability of the Liens granted in favor of such First Lien Secured Parties, provided that no such action is, or could reasonably be expected to be, (A) adverse to the Liens
granted in favor of the Controlling Secured Parties or the rights of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof or (B) otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement; and (iii) any Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading
made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims or Liens of such First Lien Secured Party, including any claims secured by the Shared Collateral, in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (b) With respect to any Shared Collateral at any time when the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is not the
Controlling Collateral Agent, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any
Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other First Lien Secured Party other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured Party (other than the
Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Controlling Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator

or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security
interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any First Lien Security Document,
applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Controlling Collateral Agent and in accordance with the applicable Additional First Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with
respect to Shared Collateral. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each Series of First Lien Obligations with
respect to any Shared Collateral, the Controlling Collateral Agent may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Controlling Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Shared Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or
Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object (or support any other Person in contesting, protesting or objecting) to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized
Representative or any Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral, or to
cause the Controlling Collateral Agent to do so. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any First Lien Secured Party, the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative with respect to any
Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral (including, without limitation, any Non-Shared Collateral). 

(d) Each of the First Lien Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) question or contest or support any other
Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity, attachment or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Secured Parties in all or any part
of the Collateral, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative to enforce this Agreement. 

SECTION 2.03 No Interference; Payment Over. 

(a) Each First Lien Secured Party agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding) the validity or enforceability of any First Lien Obligations of any Series or any First Lien Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any First Lien Security Document or the
validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement, (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or
delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent, (iii) except as provided in
Section 2.02, it shall have no right to (A) direct the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to exercise, and shall not exercise, any right, remedy or power with
respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) or (B) consent to the exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any
Shared Collateral, (iv) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party seeking damages from
or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, any Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Controlling Collateral Agent, such Applicable Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (v) if not the Controlling Collateral Agent, it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vi) it
will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the
rights of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to enforce this Agreement. 

  
 -11- 












 (b) Each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any
Shared Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any First Lien Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement, including any First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the First Lien
Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other First Lien Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Controlling Collateral Agent,
to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof. 
 SECTION 2.04 Release of
Liens. 
 (a) If, at any time the Controlling Collateral Agent forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared
Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of each other Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Series of First Lien Secured
Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged in connection with the completion of such sale or disposition; provided that (i) the Liens in favor of each Collateral Agent
for the benefit of each related Series of First Lien Secured Parties secured by such Shared Collateral attach to any Proceeds of such sale or disposition with the same priority vis-à -vis all the other First Lien Secured Parties as existed prior to the commencement of such sale or other disposition, and any such Liens shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement until application thereof
pursuant to Section 2.01 and (ii) any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01. 

(b) Each Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole costs and expense of the Grantors) all such
authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section 2.04. 

(c) Each Non-Controlling Authorized Representative and Collateral Agent that is not the Controlling
Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, hereby irrevocably appoints the Controlling Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the Controlling Collateral Agent, which
appointment is coupled with an interest with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of such Non-Controlling Authorized Representative, Collateral Agent or First Lien Secured Party, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may
be necessary to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section 2.04. 

SECTION 2.05 Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. 

(a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement and continuance of any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding. The parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be enforceable as contemplated by Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. All references
herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor. 

  
 -12- 












 (b) If the Borrower and/or any other Grantor shall become subject to an Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) to the
Borrower or such Grantor under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law and/or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other
Bankruptcy Law, each First Lien Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or the Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party) agrees that it will not raise, join or support any objection to any such financing or to the
Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless the
Controlling Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object (or join in or support any objection) to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the
Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured
Parties (other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties 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 Shared Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such
Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared 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 First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the
commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (B) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional or replacement collateral pledged to any First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or
otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing and/or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as set
forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing and/or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to
Section 2.01, and (D) if any First Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing and/or use
of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01; provided that this
Agreement shall not limit the right of the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties of such Series or its
Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the First Lien Secured Parties receiving
adequate protection shall not object to any other First Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing and/or use of cash
collateral. 
 SECTION 2.06 Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such
payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement or avoidance of a preference or fraudulent transfer or other avoidance action under the Bankruptcy Code, any other Bankruptcy Law or
any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall again have
been paid in full in cash. 
 SECTION 2.07 Insurance. As between the First Lien Secured Parties, the Controlling Collateral
Agent (acting at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any
award granted in any condemnation, expropriation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.

 SECTION 2.08 Refinancings, etc. The First Lien Obligations of any Series may,
subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced (in whole or in part) or otherwise amended or modified
from time to time, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of any First Lien Secured Party of any other Series,
all without affecting the priorities provided for in Section 2.01(a) or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed
a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness. 
 SECTION 2.09 Possessory Collateral Agent as
Gratuitous Bailee and Agent for Perfection. 
 (a) The Possessory Collateral shall be delivered to the First Lien Credit Agreement
Collateral Agent and the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous
bailee and non-fiduciary agent for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party for which such Possessory Collateral is Shared Collateral and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the
security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09; provided that at any
time the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is not the Controlling Collateral Agent, the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), at the request of the Additional First Lien
Collateral Agent that is the Controlling Collateral Agent, promptly deliver all Possessory Collateral to such Additional First Lien Collateral Agent together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such Additional First Lien Collateral
Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral). The Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Collateral Agent for loss or damage
suffered by such Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by such Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment). 
 (b) The Controlling Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral
constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the
purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.

 (c) The duties or responsibilities of the Controlling Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this
Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent for the benefit of each other
First Lien Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such First Lien Secured Parties thereon. 
 SECTION 2.10
Amendments to Security Documents. 
 (a) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, each
Additional First Lien Secured Party agrees that no Additional First Lien Security Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new
Additional First Lien Security Document would be prohibited by any of the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) Without the prior written consent
of the Additional First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent agrees that no First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such
amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Document would be prohibited by any of the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 -14- 












 (c) In making determinations required by this Section 2.10, each
Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that such amendment is permitted by Sections 2.10(a) or (b), as the case may be. 

ARTICLE III 
 Existence and
Amounts of Liens and Obligations 
 SECTION 3.01 Determinations with Respect to Amounts of Liens and Obligations. Whenever a
Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First Lien Obligations of any Series, or
the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative or Collateral Agent and shall be entitled to make
such determination or not make any determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Authorized Representative or a Collateral Agent shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the
requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a
certificate of the Borrower. Each Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or
as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any First Lien Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination. 

ARTICLE IV 
 The Controlling
Collateral Agent 
 SECTION 4.01 Authority. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on any
Controlling Collateral Agent to any Non-Controlling Secured Party or any other Person, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, or give any Non-Controlling Secured Party the right to direct any Controlling Collateral
Agent, except that each Controlling Collateral Agent shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Shared Collateral in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof. 

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be
entitled, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the First Lien Security Documents, as applicable, pursuant to which the Controlling
Collateral Agent is the collateral agent and/or administrative agent for such Shared Collateral, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of the First Lien Obligations held by
such Non-Controlling Secured Parties. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties also authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent to, if applicable, execute and deliver a First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement in the capacity as “Directing
First Lien Collateral Agent,” or the equivalent agent, however referred to for the First Lien Secured Parties under such agreement and authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to take
such actions on 

  
 -15- 












 
its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to, or otherwise given to, the Directing First Lien Collateral Agent by the terms of any First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any
other First Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all
or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such
realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Except with respect to any actions expressly prohibited
or required to be taken by this Agreement, each of the First Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of First Lien Obligations or any other
First Lien Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which any Collateral Agent, Authorized Representative or the First Lien Secured Parties take or omit to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection
or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part
of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation,
use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of First Lien Obligations, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, of the application
of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense
priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, by the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Controlling Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each
Authorized Representative representing holders of First Lien Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral. 

SECTION 4.02 Rights as a First Lien Secured Party. The Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a First Lien Secured Party under any Series of First Lien Obligations that it holds as any other First Lien Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Controlling
Collateral Agent and the term “First Lien Secured Party” or “First Lien Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Party”, “First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties”,
“Additional First Lien Secured Party”, “Additional First Lien Secured Parties”, “Initial Additional First Lien Secured Party” or “Initial Additional First Lien Secured Parties” shall, if applicable and unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act
as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder and
without any duty to account therefor to any other First Lien Secured Party.

 SECTION 4.03 Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) The Controlling Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other First
Lien Security Documents to which it is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Controlling Collateral Agent: 

(i) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except such rights and
powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other First Lien Security Documents that the Controlling Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Applicable Authorized Representative; provided that the Controlling
Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Controlling Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any First Lien Security Document or applicable law; 

(ii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other First Lien Security Documents, have any duty to disclose,

capacity; 
 (iii) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at the request of
the Applicable Authorized Representative or (y) in the absence of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of this Agreement by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of the Controlling Collateral Agent (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
non-appealable judgment) or (z) in reliance on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any Secured Credit Document
(it being understood and agreed that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Series of First Lien Obligations unless and until written notice describing such Event of Default and
referencing the appliable agreement is given to the Controlling Collateral Agent at its address set forth in Section 5.01 by the Authorized Representative of such First Lien Obligations or the Borrower); shall not be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other First Lien Security Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default, (D) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other First Lien Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the First
Lien Security Documents (including the preparation or filing of financing statements), (E) the existence, value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Series of First Lien Obligations or (F) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
any Secured Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Controlling Collateral Agent; 

(iv) with respect to the First Lien Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien Document, may conclusively assume that the
Grantors have complied with all of their obligations thereunder unless advised in writing by the Authorized Representative thereunder to the contrary specifically setting forth the alleged violation; and 

(v) shall not be subject to any fiduciary duties and/or any implied duties regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. 

  
 -17- 












 (b) Each First Lien Secured Party acknowledges that, in addition to acting as the initial
Controlling Collateral Agent, JPM also serves as Administrative Agent (under, and as defined in, the First Lien Credit Agreement), and each First Lien Secured Party hereby waives any right to make any objection or claim against JPM (or any successor
Controlling Collateral Agent or any of their respective counsel) based on any alleged conflict of interest or breach of duties arising from the Controlling Collateral Agent also serving as the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent. 

SECTION 4.04 Reliance by Controlling Collateral Agent. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Controlling Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Controlling Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may include, but shall not be limited to, counsel for any Grantor or counsel for the Applicable Authorized Representative),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

SECTION 4.05 Delegation of Duties. The Controlling Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights
and powers hereunder or under any other First Lien Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Controlling Collateral Agent. The Controlling Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IV shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Controlling Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. 

SECTION 4.06 Non Reliance on Controlling Collateral Agent and Other First Lien Secured Parties. Each First Lien Secured Party
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Controlling Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Secured Credit Documents. Each First Lien Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Controlling
Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking
or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Secured Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized Representative shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Additional First Lien
Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized Representative have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Additional First Lien
Collateral Agent, the Initial Additional Authorized Representative and that the Borrower and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or
authentication keys upon receipt by the Borrower. The Additional First Lien Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized Representative shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the
Additional First Lien Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized Representative’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions

notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Borrower agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to
submit Instructions to the Additional First Lien Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized Representative, including without limitation the risk of the Additional First Lien Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized
Representative acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the
Additional First Lien Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized Representative and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Borrower; (iii) that the security procedures
(if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Additional First Lien Collateral
Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized Representative immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Additional First Lien Collateral Agent and the Initial
Additional Authorized Representative, or another method or system specified by the Additional First Lien Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional Authorized Representative as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this
Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than pursuant to any Joinder Agreement or any supplement to this Agreement contemplated by Section 5.16) except pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Authorized Representative and each Collateral Agent (and with respect to any such termination, waiver, amendment or modification which by the terms of this Agreement requires the
Borrower’s consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of or otherwise materially adversely affects the Borrower or any other Grantor, with the consent of the Borrower). 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any First Lien Secured Party, any Authorized Representative may become a party
hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 5.13 and upon such execution and delivery, such Authorized Representative and the Additional First Lien Secured Parties and Additional First
Lien Obligations of the Series for which such Authorized Representative is acting hereunder agree to be bound by, and shall be subject to, the terms hereof. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Refinancing of First Lien Obligations of any Series, or the incurrence of Additional
First Lien Obligations of any Series, the Collateral Agents and the Authorized Representatives then party hereto shall enter (and are hereby authorized to enter without the consent of any other First Lien Secured Party or any Grantor), at the
request of any Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or the Borrower, into such amendments or 

  
 -20- 












 
modifications of this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to reflect such Refinancing or such incurrence in compliance with the Secured Credit Documents and are reasonably satisfactory to each
such Collateral Agent and each such Authorized Representative; provided that any Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative may condition its execution and delivery of any such amendment or modification on a receipt of a certificate from a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the effect that such Refinancing or incurrence is permitted by the then existing Secured Credit Documents. 

SECTION 5.03 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their

separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, pdf. or other electronic transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 SECTION 5.06 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement
that is 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 or enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the 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. 

SECTION 5.07 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

this Agreement and the First Lien Security Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, the

(b) consents and agrees that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and irrevocably waives (to the

claim the same; 
 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy
thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person (or its Authorized Representative) at the address set forth in Section 5.01; 

  
 -21-

hereto (or any First Lien Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and 
 (e)
waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 5.08 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 SECTION 5.09 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN
EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A

intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien Documents), and none of the Borrower or any other Grantor may rely on the terms hereof (other than Sections

Representative and Collateral Agent, as applicable, by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the immediately succeeding paragraph.

Collateral Agent, as applicable:

Class Debt Collateral Agent, each Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative shall have executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Controlling Collateral Agent and Additional
Senior Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which such Additional Senior Class Debt Representative becomes an Authorized Representative hereunder, such Additional Senior Class Debt Collateral Agent becomes a Collateral Agent
hereunder and the Additional Senior Class Debt in respect of which such Additional Senior Class Debt Representative is the Authorized Representative constitutes Additional First Lien Obligations and the related Additional Senior
Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby as Additional First Lien Secured Parties; 
 (ii) the Borrower
shall have (x) delivered to each Collateral Agent true and complete copies of each of the Additional First Lien Documents relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower and (y) identified in a certificate of a Responsible Officer the obligations to be designated as Additional First Lien Obligations and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof and certified that such obligations
are permitted to be incurred and secured on a pari passu basis with the then-extant First Lien Obligations and by the terms of the then-extant Secured Credit
Documents; 
 (iii) all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the First Lien Security Documents necessary
or desirable in the reasonable judgment of such Additional Senior Class Debt Collateral Agent to confirm and perfect the Liens securing the relevant obligations relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt shall have been made, executed
and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform such filings or recordations shall have been taken in the reasonable judgment of such Additional Senior Class Debt Collateral Agent), and
all fees and taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid (or acceptable provisions to make such payments have been taken in the reasonable judgment of such Additional Senior Class Debt Collateral Agent); and 

(iv) the Additional First Lien Documents, as applicable, relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt shall provide, in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to each Collateral Agent, that each Additional Senior Class Debt Party with respect to such Additional Senior Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a
holder of such Additional Senior Class Debt.

 -23- 












 
First Lien Collateral Agent solely for the Additional First Lien Secured Parties. Except as expressly set forth herein, none of the First Lien Credit Agreement Administrative Agent, the First
Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or the Additional First Lien Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations in respect of any of the Collateral, all of such duties and obligations, if any, being subject to and governed by the
applicable Secured Credit Documents.

Documents and the First Lien Security Documents represents the agreement of each of the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Grantors) and the First Lien Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, or any other First Lien Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other
