obligations first arose prior to the date on which, following an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective designees acquires title to the applicable Contract, or Capital Stock in any Subsidiary which directly
or indirectly owns such Contract, by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu thereof or assignment in lieu thereof, as applicable, or similar transfer (it being understood and agreed
that no Grantor shall have any liability hereunder or any other Loan Document for such conditions or obligations first arising after such date). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability
under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating to such Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other

amounts which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times, in each case other than to the extent the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party acquires title to the applicable Contract, or Capital
Stock in any Subsidiary which directly or indirectly owns such Contract, following an Event of Default by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu thereof or assignment in lieu
thereof, as applicable, or similar transfer. 
 (b) Each Grantor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral
acquired by it first arising prior to the date on which, following an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective designees acquires title to the applicable Collateral, or Capital Stock in any Subsidiary which
directly or indirectly owns such Collateral, by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu thereof or assignment in lieu thereof, as applicable, or similar transfer, and the liability of
such Grantor to pay the Secured Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to such Grantor (it being understood
and agreed that the Secured Obligations shall not include any liability or responsibility in connection with the Collateral first arising after such date). 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Grantor (rather than the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain
liable under each of the Accounts constituting Collateral to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise to such Accounts, to
the extent such conditions and obligations first arose prior to the date on which, following an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective designees acquires title to the applicable Account, or Capital Stock in
any Subsidiary which directly or indirectly owns such Account, by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu thereof or assignment in lieu thereof, as applicable, or similar transfer (it
being understood and agreed that no Grantor shall have any liability hereunder or any other Loan Document for such conditions or obligations first arising after such date). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any

other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor
under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by them or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any
Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or
times, in each case other than to the extent the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party acquires title to the applicable Account, or Capital Stock in any Subsidiary which directly or indirectly owns such Account, following an Event of
Default by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu thereof or assignment in lieu thereof, as applicable, or similar transfer. 

ARTICLE 5 
 REMEDIES

 Section 5.01. Remedies. 

(a) Each Grantor agrees that, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any
or all of the following rights and remedies (in addition to the rights and remedies existing under applicable Requirements of Law): 

(i) the rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 

(ii) the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) or under any other applicable Requirements of Law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ Lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement; 

(iii) without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 7.01 or elsewhere herein), demand or
advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, but subject to the terms of any applicable lease or other occupancy agreement and the rights of obligors of any applicable CRE Finance Asset, personally, or by agents or attorneys, enter
the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of,
deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at one or more public or private sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at such Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable; 

(iv) upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Borrower, (A) transfer and register in its name or in
the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and (B) exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto (whereupon the voting and other rights of such Grantor described in
Section 4.02(d)(i) above shall immediately cease such that the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other rights while the relevant Event of Default is continuing), to collect and
receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon (it being understood that all Stock Rights received by any Grantor after receipt of such notice while the 

  
 -11- 













 
relevant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsements)) and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof; and 

(v) upon at least three Business Days’ written notice (or such other time provided for in the Custodian Agreement with
respect to Collateral subject to the Custodian Agreement), to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Grantor, or, if applicable, the custodian party to a Custodian Agreement, in writing to deliver the same to the
Administrative Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Administrative Agent, in which event (x) such Grantor shall at its own expense forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the
Administrative Agent and there delivered to the Administrative Agent with respect to Collateral not subject to a Custodian Agreement and (y) with respect to Collateral subject to a Custodian Agreement, such custodian shall cause the same to be
moved to the place or places so designated pursuant to the Custodian Agreement; 
 (b) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that compliance
by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with any applicable state or federal Requirements of Law in connection with a disposition of the Collateral will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of
any sale of the Collateral. 
 (c) Any Secured Party shall have the right in any public sale and, to the extent permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law, in any private sale, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption that any Grantor is permitted to release and waive pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law, and each Grantor
hereby expressly releases such right of equity redemption to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law. 
 (d) Until the
Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any particular Collateral under this Section 5.01, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral, or any
part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or the value of such Collateral or for any other purpose reasonably deemed reasonably appropriate by the Administrative Agent. At any time when an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any
of its rights or remedies against, the Grantors, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral
therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of
any Collateral. 
 (f) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged
Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that no such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to


  
 -12- 













 
delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of any Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities Requirements of Law, even if any Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so. 

(g) The Administrative Agent and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Security Agreement) acknowledge and agree that
notwithstanding any other provision in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, the exercise of rights or remedies with respect to certain Collateral and the enforcement of any security interests therein may be limited or restricted by,
or require consent, authorization, approval or license under, Requirements of Law. 
 (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and
remedies provided in this Section 5.01 shall be subject to the terms of any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect. 

Section 5.02. Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at
any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor will: 
 (a) at its own cost and expense,
(i) assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified in the Custodian Agreement, where applicable, otherwise, by the Administrative
Agent, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) deliver all tangible evidence of its Accounts and Contract Rights (including, without limitation, all documents evidencing the Accounts and all Contracts) and such books and
records to the Administrative Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by such Grantor) and (iii) if the Administrative Agent so directs and in a form and in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, add a legend to the Accounts and the Contracts, as well as books, records and documents (if any) of such Grantor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts and Contracts, which legend shall include an
appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts and Contracts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent and that the Administrative Agent has a security interest therein; and 

(b) subject to the terms of any applicable lease other occupancy agreement and the rights of obligors of any applicable CRE
Finance Asset, permit, to the extent such Grantor has such rights, the Administrative Agent and/or its representatives and/or agents to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating
thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct
sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy. 
 Section 5.03. Intellectual
Property Remedies. 
 (a) For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article
5 at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a power of attorney to sign any document which
may be required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, domain name registrar or similar registrar in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each registered Patent,
Trademark, Domain Name and Copyright, in each case to the extent constituting Collateral, and each application constituting Collateral for any such registration, and record the same. At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent may (i) declare the entire right, title and 

  
 -13- 













 
interest of such Grantor in and to each item of Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent constituting Collateral to be vested in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, in which event such right, title and interest shall immediately vest in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in this
Section 5.03 to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and record such absolute assignment with the applicable agency or registrar; (ii) sell any of Grantor’s Inventory constituting Collateral directly to
any Person, including, without limitation, Persons who have previously purchased any Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Security
Agreement and subject to any restrictions contained in applicable third party licenses entered into by such Grantor, sell Inventory constituting Collateral which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and any Inventory constituting
Collateral that is covered by any Intellectual Property Collateral owned by or licensed to any Grantor, and the Administrative Agent may finish any work in process and affix any relevant Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor that
constitutes Collateral, and sell such Inventory as provided herein; (iii) direct such Grantor to refrain, in which event such Grantor shall refrain, from using any Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent constituting Collateral in any
manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly; and (iv) assign or sell any Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent constituting Collateral, as well as the goodwill of such Grantor’s business symbolized by any Trademark included in such
Intellectual Property Collateral and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Grantor in connection with which any such Trademark or Domain Name has been used. 

(b) Each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable (until the Termination Date), nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide
license (to the extent not prohibited by any applicable license) to its right to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such
license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and (to the extent not prohibited by any applicable license) to all computer software and programs used for compilation or printout thereof. The use of the
license granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, that such
licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to, with respect to the goods and/or services on which such Trademarks are used, the maintenance of quality standards that are sufficient to preserve the validity of such
Trademarks and are consistent with past practices. 
 Section 5.04. Application of Proceeds. 

(a) Subject to the terms of any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect, the Administrative Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization of any Collateral as set forth in Section 2.18(b) of the Credit Agreement. 

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time
of application of any such proceeds, money or balance in accordance with this Security Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), a
receipt by the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale of such proceeds, moneys or balances shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be
obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. It is understood that the Grantors shall remain jointly and
severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

occurred and is continuing and upon three Business Days’ notice to the relevant Grantor, in the Administrative Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Administrative Agent, or in the name of any Grantor, communicate (by mail,
telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of such Grantor, parties to Contracts with such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments of such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable
satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Contracts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables that constitute Collateral. 

Section 6.02. Authorization for the Administrative Agent to Take Certain Action. 

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or
agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as its true and lawful attorney in fact at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent (in the name of such Grantor or
otherwise), (A) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities that constitute Pledged Collateral or with securities intermediaries holding Pledged Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give

Receivable in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Grantor and to endorse any check, draft and/or any other instrument for the payment of money relating to any such Receivable, (D) to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice or bill
of lading relating to any Receivable, any draft against any Account Debtor of such Grantor, and/or any assignment and/or verification of any Receivable, (E) to exercise all of any Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the
collection of any Receivable and any other Collateral, (F) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew any Receivable, (G) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceeding brought to collect any Receivable, (H) to prepare, file

or similar document in connection with any Receivable, (J) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Grantor to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to
such Grantor (provided copies of such mail are provided to such Grantor), (K) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for Permitted Liens), (L) to make, settle and adjust claims in respect of
Collateral under policies of insurance and endorse the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, (M) to obtain or maintain the policies of insurance of the

required pursuant to Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement (as if such Grantor were the Borrower), such Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any payment made in connection with this paragraph or any expense (including
reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, court costs and out-of-pocket expenses) and other charges related thereto incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with any of the 

  
 -15- 













 
foregoing (it being understood that any such sums shall constitute additional Secured Obligations); provided that, this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its
obligations under this Security Agreement, the Loan Guaranty or under the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall notices be sent to Account Debtors other than during the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event
of Default. 
 (b) All prior acts of the Administrative Agent (or its attorneys or designees) are hereby ratified and approved by each
Grantor. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties, under this Section 6.02 are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. 

Section 6.03. PROXY. SUBJECT TO THE LAST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 6.03, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (UNTIL THE
TERMINATION DATE OR, AS TO ANY GRANTOR, IF EARLIER, THE DATE SUCH GRANTOR IS RELEASED FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.12 HEREOF) CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.02 ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, DURING THE CONTINUATION OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND SUBJECT TO

 ARTICLE 7 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Section 7.01. Waivers. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Grantor hereby waives notice of the
time and place of any judicial hearing in connection with the Administrative Agent’s taking possession of the Collateral or of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral
may be made, including, without limitation, any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable Requirements of Law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if
sent to any Grantor, addressed as set forth in Article 8, at least 10 days prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private disposition
may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except those
arising out of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. To the extent
it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent, any valuation, stay (other than an automatic stay under any applicable
Debtor Relief Law), appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar law and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral
made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand,
protest, any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) of any kind or all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral. 

Section 7.02. Limitation on Administrative Agent’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative
Agent shall not have any obligation to clean or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Administrative Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to which it accords its own property. The Administrative Agent shall not have
any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it would be commercially reasonable
for the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 7.06, (a) to elect not to incur expenses to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished
products for disposition, (b) to elect not to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of (unless expressly required under any applicable lease agreement), or to obtain or, if not otherwise required by any Requirement
of Law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to elect not to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated
on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or 

  
 -17- 













 
not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion
of such Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that
provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets,
(j) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss in connection with any collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other
brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.02
is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies with respect to the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.02. Without limitation upon the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Section 7.02 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.02. 
 Section 7.03. Compromises and Collection of
Collateral. Each Grantor and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become
uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to any Receivable. In view of the foregoing,
each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and upon three Business Days’ notice to the relevant Grantor, compromise with the obligor on any
Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole and reasonable discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially
reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts reasonably in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action. 

Section 7.04. Administrative Agent Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Administrative
Agent may, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and upon prior written notice to the Borrower, perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay under this Security Agreement and which
obligation is due and unpaid and not being contested by such Grantor in good faith, and such Grantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.04 as
a Secured Obligation payable in accordance with Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement first arising prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective designees acquires title to the applicable
Collateral, or Capital Stock in any Subsidiary which directly or indirectly owns such Collateral, by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu thereof or assignment in lieu thereof, as
applicable, or similar transfer. 
 Section 7.05. No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the
Administrative Agent (subject to the provisions of Article 8 of the Credit Agreement) to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an
acquiescence therein, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or 

  
 -18- 













 
remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Grantors and the
Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders to the extent required under Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained
in this Security Agreement or afforded by law shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent until the Termination Date. 

Section 7.06. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement
may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable Requirements of Law, and all of the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable Requirement of Law that may be
controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that such provisions do not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. To the extent permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law, any provision of this Security 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 of this Security Agreement; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. If
the exercise of rights or remedies with respect to certain Collateral and the enforcement of any security interest therein require any consent, authorization, approval or license under any Requirement of Law, no such action shall be taken unless and
until all requisite consents, authorizations approvals or licenses have been obtained. 
 Section 7.07. Security Interest
Absolute. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the security interests granted hereunder and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of
payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to the
foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all
or any of the Secured Obligations, (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Grantor, (e) any exercise or non-exercise, or
any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or (f) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor
in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Security Agreement (other than a termination of any Lien contemplated by Section 7.12 or the occurrence of the Termination Date). 

Section 7.08. Benefit of Security Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of each Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all Persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement). No sale of participations,
assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties. 
 Section 7.09. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties
of each Grantor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement until the Termination Date or, as to any Grantor, if earlier, the date such Grantor is released from its obligations hereunder
pursuant to Section 7.12 hereof. 

  
 -19- 













 Section 7.10. Additional Subsidiaries and Persons. Upon the execution and

Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if such Restricted Subsidiary or Person was originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor or any other
Person. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.

request to evidence and/or effectuate such termination or release and (ii) all Pledged Collateral that no longer constitutes Collateral as a result of such termination or release. In addition, in connection with any termination or release
pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that any asset which constituted Collateral has become or constitutes an Excluded
Asset as a result of a transaction or transactions permitted under the Credit Agreement, promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower an acknowledgement of the Administrative Agent (x) acknowledging that the Liens on the applicable assets
granted hereunder have been released and (y) attaching any UCC termination statements or similar documents required by clause (i) above and acknowledging its obligations under clause (i) above (which such acknowledgement, if requested

jurisdiction), incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 7.12 pursuant to and to the extent required by Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement.

 EXHIBIT A 

[FORM OF] SECURITY AGREEMENT JOINDER 

A. SUPPLEMENT NO. [•] dated as of [•] (this “Supplement”), to the Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of
August 9, 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), by and among Claros Mortgage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
“Borrower”), the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the Closing Date and each other Subsidiary or Person that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.10 of the Security Agreement from time to
time party thereto (the foregoing, collectively, the “Grantors”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders and collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such
capacities and together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”). 
 B. Reference is made to the Term
Loan Credit Agreement dated as of August 9, 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among, inter alios, Borrower, the
lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMCB, as administrative agent and collateral agent. 
 C. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, as applicable. 

D. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans. Section 7.10 of the Security
Agreement and Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement provide that additional Domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrower or Persons may become Guarantors under the Security Agreement by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of this
Supplement. [The] [Each] undersigned Restricted Subsidiary or Person (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement in
order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and as consideration for Loans previously made and to secure the Secured Obligations, including obligations under the Loan Guaranty and each Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute
Secured Hedging Obligations. 
 Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and [the] [each] New Grantor agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.10 of the Security Agreement, [the] [each] New Grantor by its signature below becomes a
Guarantor and a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor, and [the] [each] New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable
to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) makes the representations and warranties applicable to it as a Grantor under the Security Agreement[, subject to Schedule A hereto,] on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, [the]
[each] New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their
successors and permitted assigns, a security interest in and Lien on all of [the] [each] Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral of [the] [each] New Grantor. Upon the effectiveness of this Supplement, each reference to a
“Grantor” and “Guarantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include [the] [each] New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 

SECTION 2. [The] [Each] New Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties 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 the Legal Reservations. 

  
 A-1 













 SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different 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 Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart
of this Supplement that bears the signature of [the] [each] New Grantor and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic
transmission (including by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement. 

SECTION 4. Attached hereto is a duly prepared, completed and executed Perfection Certificate with respect to [the] [each] New Grantor, and
[the] [each] New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that the information set forth therein with respect to such New Grantor is correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof. 

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS SUPPLEMENT, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT (AT
LAW OR IN EQUITY) OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.01 of the Security Agreement.

 SECTION 9. [The] [Each] New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its expenses in connection with this Supplement,
including the fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel in accordance with Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION
10. This Supplement shall constitute a Loan Document, under and as defined in, the Credit Agreement.
