herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 

ESCROW 
 1.01 Escrow. Upon the terms hereof, each Grantor hereby delivers to the Administrative Agent, in escrow (the “Escrow”) all of the issued and outstanding certificated shares
of capital stock or other Equity Interests now or hereafter owned by such Grantor described on Schedule I attached hereto and incorporated herein, as Schedule I may be amended or supplemented from time to time (collectively, the
“Escrowed Shares”). 
 1.02 Terms of Escrow. (a) The parties hereby appoint the
Administrative Agent as escrow agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Administrative Agent hereby accepts such appointment as escrow agent. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall disburse all or any part of the Escrowed Shares as follows: any time the Administrative Agent receives (i) a written notification executed by a Grantor (or such
Grantor’s successor interest to the Escrowed Shares) advising the Administrative Agent of a proposed Disposition (as defined below) of Escrowed Shares or Restricted Disposition Proceeds, (ii) (subject to Section 4.04(a)) all
Disposition Proceeds (as herein defined) paid or payable to Grantors in respect of such Escrowed Shares, and (iii) if other than cash, duly executed instruments of assignment and delivery, the Administrative Agent shall immediately release such
portion of the Escrowed Shares, subject to clause (f), as is specified in such written notice to the Persons specified in such written notice. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or


  
 2 








 
property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the
Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority, or rights of the Persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or
property or this Agreement. 
 (d)     (i) In its capacity as escrow agent, the Administrative Agent shall
have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any Person, to make any payment or delivery of Disposition Proceeds, or to
direct or cause any payment or delivery thereof, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery thereof to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any Person to perform any other act. The Administrative Agent shall be under no liability to any
Person by reason of any failure on the part of any other Person to perform such Person’s obligations under any agreement involving or relating in any way to the Escrowed Shares or the Disposition thereof by the Grantors. 

(ii) The Administrative Agent in its role as escrow agent shall not be liable to the Grantors or to any other Person for
any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Administrative Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel
(including counsel chosen by the Administrative Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but as to the acceptability and reliability of
any information therein contained) which is believed by the Administrative Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. 
 (e) The Grantors shall pay all income, withholding and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income which are attributable to income from the Escrowed Shares and the Disposition Proceeds for the time
all or any part thereof are held in escrow hereunder, and shall file all tax and information returns applicable thereto. To the extent that the Administrative Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of
income derived from the Escrowed Shares and Disposition Proceeds, the Administrative Agent may but shall not be obligated to pay such taxes. The Administrative Agent may withhold or offset from any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to the
Grantors such amount as the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes; alternately any such amount paid by the Administrative Agent shall become a part of the Obligations. In
addition, the Administrative Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Grantors from and against any liability for such taxes and for any penalties or interest in respect of taxes on such investment income or payments in the manner
provided in subparagraph (k) below. 
 (f) The Administrative Agent is acting as an escrow agent only with respect to the
Escrowed Shares and related Restricted Disposition Proceeds (as defined in Section 2.01 below). If any dispute arises as to whether the Administrative Agent is obligated to deliver the Escrowed Shares or as to whom the Escrowed Shares
are to be delivered, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any delivery, but in such event the Administrative Agent may hold the Escrowed Shares until receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Disposition


  
 3 








 
Proceeds and (i) instructions in writing, signed by all parties which have, or claim to have, an interest in the Escrowed Shares, directing the disposition of the Escrowed Shares, or
(ii) in the absence of such writing, a final judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction or final binding arbitration award providing for the disposition of the Escrowed Shares. 

(g) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Grantors for all expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative
Agent in the administration of its duties hereunder, including, but not limited to, all attorneys’, advisors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and all taxes or other governmental charges. 

(h) The Administrative Agent may resign as escrow agent at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder. As soon
as practicable after its resignation, the Administrative Agent shall turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by it and the Grantors all Escrowed Shares held hereunder upon presentation of a document appointing the successor escrow agent and
its acceptance thereof. If no successor escrow agent is so appointed within the 30-day period following such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent may deposit the Escrowed Shares with any court in the United States it deems appropriate.

 (i) From time to time on and after the date hereof, including without limitation concurrently with the delivery of a written
notice as provided in Section 1.02(b), the Grantors shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder. 

(j) It is agreed that the Grantor shall retain all rights to dividends, all rights to vote and all other rights in respect of ownership of
the Escrowed Shares, subject only to the Security Interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral (each as defined in Section 2.01 below); provided, that any certificated Restricted Equity Interests received as a dividend or other
distribution in respect of Escrowed Shares shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, in escrow, to be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (k) EACH GRANTOR SHALL AND DOES HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT AND AFFILIATES (EACH AN “INDEMNITEE” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNITEES”) HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, COSTS, DAMAGES, JUDGMENTS, EXPENSES, OBLIGATIONS
AND LIABILITIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE INCLUDING ATTORNEYS FEES AND EXPENSES INCURRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (“LIABILITIES”) WHICH ANY INDEMNITEE INCURS OR SUSTAINS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER, THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY INDEMNITEE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE ESCROWED SHARES AND/OR THE DISPOSITION PROCEEDS

Disposition Proceeds” and shall not be included within the property subject to the Security Interest. The Disposition Proceeds subject to the Security Interest are referred to herein as the “Disposition Proceeds
Collateral”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the grant of a security interest and collateral assignment under this Section 2.01 shall not include, and the term “Disposition Proceeds Collateral” shall not include, any

all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement to be performed by it or them or that the Borrowers have agreed, in the Credit Agreement, to cause it or them to perform.

(f) No Grantor will make any Disposition of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests (whether certificated or
uncertificated) or any part thereof, or create directly or indirectly any security interest or otherwise encumber (other than any restriction imposed by any Franchise Agreement or Framework Agreement to which the Grantor is a party) any of the
Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests, or permit any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests to ever be or become subject to any warrant, put, option or other rights of third Persons or any attachment, execution,

the Secured Parties hereunder, in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (i) At no time shall any
Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests (i) be held or maintained in the form of a security entitlement or credited to any securities 

  
 9 








 
account or (ii) which constitute a “security” (or as to which the related Escrow Subsidiary has elected to have treated as a “security”) under Article 8 of the UCC (or of
any other jurisdiction whose laws may govern) be maintained in the form of uncertificated securities. With respect to Escrowed Shares that are “securities” under the UCC, or as to which the issuer has elected at any time to have such
interests treated as “securities” under the UCC, such Escrowed Shares are, and shall at all times be, represented by the share certificates listed on Schedule I hereto. 

(j) Each Grantor and each issuer of any Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests shall mark each register or other ownership
or transfer record relating to any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests with a notation indicating that such securities are subject to this Agreement.

Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests or any Disposition Proceeds Collateral or any matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including, without limitation beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody and
preservation thereof while in its possession, any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that
the Grantors shall be responsible generally for the preservation of all rights in the Escrowed Shares, the other Restricted Equity Interests and the Disposition Proceeds Collateral. 

4.03 Collection of the Loan. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall ever be liable for any failure to
use due diligence in the collection of any and all amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

4.04 Rights of Parties Before the Occurrence of an Event of Default. (a) Exercising Rights and Receipt of Cash
Proceeds Prior to an Event of Default. Unless and until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing: 

(i) With respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral, the Grantors shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends or
interest paid in respect of or attributable to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral and any and all other Distributions. As used herein “Distributions” shall mean the declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution on
or with respect to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, and any other payment made with respect to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral other than in respect of a Disposition thereof. All such Distributions (other than cash Distributions) shall if
received by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be delivered to the Administrative Agent duly endorsed and accompanied by duly
executed instruments of transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to be held subject to the Security Interest and the other provisions of this Agreement. 

(ii) With respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral, each Grantor shall have the right to vote and give consents with
respect to all such Disposition Proceeds Collateral owned by it and to consent to, ratify, or waive notice of any and all meetings and take such other action as it deems appropriate to protect or further its


  
 10 









 
interests in respect thereof; provided, that such right shall in no case be exercised for any purpose contrary to, or in violation of, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document. 
 (b) Exercising Rights in Disposition Proceeds Collateral After the Occurrence of an Event of
Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, without the consent of any Grantor, may: 
 (i) At any time vote or consent in respect of any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral) and authorize any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral to be voted and
such consents to be given, ratify and waive notice of any and all meetings, and take such other action as shall seem desirable to the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to protect or further the interests of the Administrative Agent and
the Secured Parties in respect of any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral as though it were the outright owner thereof, and, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, its sole proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to vote and act with respect to any and all such Disposition Proceeds Collateral standing in the name of such Grantor or with respect to which
such Grantor is entitled to vote and act. The proxy and power of attorney herein granted are coupled with interests, are irrevocable, and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement; 

(ii) In respect of any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral), join in and
become a party to any plan of recapitalization, reorganization or readjustment (whether voluntary or involuntary) as shall seem desirable to the Administrative Agent in respect of any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, and deposit any such
Disposition Proceeds Collateral under any such plan; make any exchange, substitution, cancellation or surrender of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral required by any such plan and take such action with respect to any such Disposition Proceeds
Collateral as may be required by any such plan or for the accomplishment thereof; and no such disposition, exchange, substitution, cancellation or surrender shall be deemed to constitute a release of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral from the
Security Interest of this Agreement; 
 (iii) Receive for application as provided in Section 8.06 of
the Credit Agreement all payments of whatever kind made upon or with respect to any Disposition Proceeds Collateral and all Disposition Proceeds Collateral consisting of cash; and 

(iv) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.04(c) hereof, transfer or endorse into its name, or into the name
or names of its nominee or nominees, all or any of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral. 
 (c) Right of Sale of Disposition
Proceeds Collateral After the Occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may sell, without recourse to judicial proceedings, by way of one or more contracts,
with the right (except at private sale) to bid for and buy, free from any right of 

  
 11 









 
redemption, any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral) upon five (5) days’ notice (which notice is agreed to be reasonable notice for the
purposes hereof) to the Grantors of the time and place of sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in the Administrative Agent’s complete discretion at public sale, including a sale at
any broker’s board or exchange or private sale. 
 The Administrative Agent is also hereby authorized, but not obligated, to take such
actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as the Administrative Agent may deem required or appropriate in the event of sale or disposition of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral. Each Grantor understands that the
Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any portion thereof, than would
otherwise be obtainable if the same were registered and sold in the open market. Each Grantor agrees (A) that in the event the Administrative Agent shall so sell such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any portion thereof, at such private sale
or sales, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any member firm of a national securities exchange as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such a private sale thereof (any expense borne by the
Administrative Agent in obtaining such advice to be paid by the Grantors as an expense related to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder), and (B) that such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Administrative
Agent handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to take any steps to permit such Disposition Proceeds Collateral to be sold at a public sale or to delay a sale to permit the Escrow
Subsidiaries to register such Disposition Proceeds Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state securities law. In case of any sale by the Administrative Agent of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral on credit or
for future delivery, the Disposition Proceeds Collateral sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability in case of failure of the purchaser to
take up and pay for the Disposition Proceeds Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Disposition Proceeds Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold. In connection with the sale of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, the
Administrative Agent is authorized, but not obligated, to limit prospective purchasers to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Administrative Agent to render such sale exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws, and no sale so made in good faith by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to be “commercially reasonable” because so made. In no event, however, shall the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party have any right to sell, foreclose upon, or compel the sale of, any Escrowed Shares. 
 (d) Other
Rights After an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at its election, may with respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral exercise any and all rights available to
a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York or other applicable jurisdiction, as amended, in addition to any and all other rights afforded hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, at law, in equity or
otherwise. 
 (e) Application of Proceeds. Any and all Disposition Proceeds Collateral including cash proceeds and the
proceeds from the disposition as hereinabove provided of 

  
 12 









 
Disposition Proceeds Collateral received by Lenders or any part thereof shall be applied as provided in Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement. 

4.05 Right to File as Financing Statement. The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to execute and file
this Agreement as a financing statement, but the failure of the Administrative Agent to do so shall not impair the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Security Interest. 

4.06 Restricted Disposition Shares; No Control by Administrative Agent or Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein
or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, a security interest in any Restricted Disposition Proceeds or the Escrowed Shares, but the Administrative Agent shall have, and is hereby
granted, a security interest in Disposition Proceeds Collateral (the “Subsequent Proceeds”) of Restricted Disposition Proceeds so long as such Subsequent Proceeds are not themselves Restricted Disposition Proceeds. Any Restricted
Disposition Proceeds delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held in escrow by the Administrative Agent and will be deemed to be Escrowed Shares for purposes of this Agreement. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not, constitute, create or have the effect of constituting or creating, directly or indirectly, the actual or practical ownership of any of the Escrow Subsidiaries by
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, or control, affirmative or negative, direct or indirect, by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party over the management or any other aspect of the day-to-day operation of the Escrow Subsidiaries,
which ownership and control remains exclusively and at all times in each of the Escrow Subsidiaries. 
 4.07 Agreement
to Supplement. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall be amended and supplemented from time to time to specifically include a description of all Escrowed Shares subject hereto subsequent to the date hereof, and the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to supplement Schedule I from time to time, without any action or joinder of the Grantors to reflect the addition of all such additional Escrowed Shares. The Administrative Agent shall have a valid first
priority security interest in all additional Disposition Proceeds which come into existence after the date hereof, whether or not reflected on a supplement to Schedule I. Each Grantor hereby agrees to execute, deliver and cause the filing of
all stock powers, financing statements and other documents and to take such further action as deemed necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion with respect to each such additional Escrowed Shares and Disposition Proceeds to
ensure each Grantor’s compliance hereunder with respect thereto. To the extent that any Equity Interest in a Subsidiary constitutes General Intangibles, such Equity Interests shall not be listed as Escrowed Shares in any supplement to Schedule
1, and shall not constitute Restricted Equity Interests hereunder. 
 4.08 Reinstatement. The granting of a
security interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral and the other provisions hereof shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be returned by any Secured Party or is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part 

  
 13 









 
in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though
such payment had not been made. The provisions of this Section 4.08 shall survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination
upon occurrence of the Facility Termination Date. The “Facility Termination Date” means the date as of which all of the following shall have occurred: (a) the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, (b) all Obligations have been
paid in full (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations and (y) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreement and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash
Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be, have been made), and (c) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the L/C Issuers shall have been made). 
 4.09 Certain Waivers by the Grantors. Each Grantor waives to
the extent permitted by applicable law (a) any right to require any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations to (x) proceed against any Person or entity, including without limitation any Loan Party, (y) proceed
against or exhaust the Disposition Proceeds Collateral or other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or (z) pursue any other remedy in its power; (b) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Person,
or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Person or entity, (c) any right of subrogation, and (d) any right to enforce any remedy which any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured
Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any other Person and any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
Each Grantor authorizes each Secured Party and each other obligee of the Secured Obligations without notice (except notice required by applicable law) or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder or under the Loan Documents from time to
time to: (i) take and hold security, other than the Disposition Proceeds Collateral herein described, for the payment of such Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Disposition Proceeds Collateral
herein described or any part thereof or any such other security; and (ii) apply such Disposition Proceeds Collateral or other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as such Secured Party or obligee in its discretion may
determine. 
 The Administrative Agent may at any time deliver (without representation, recourse or warranty) the Disposition
Proceeds Collateral or any part thereof to a Grantor and the receipt thereof by such Grantor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Disposition Proceeds Collateral so delivered, and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter be discharged
from any liability or responsibility therefor. 
 4.10 Continued Powers. Until the Facility Termination Date shall
have occurred, the power of sale and other rights, powers and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Administrative Agent at any time and from
time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations or that any part of the liability of any Grantor may have ceased. 

  
 14 









 4.11 Other Rights. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party under any other Loan Document or by virtue of any statute or rule of law.
Any forbearance or failure or delay by the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of the Secured Parties shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement. 
 4.12 Anti-Marshaling Provisions. The right is hereby given by each Grantor to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to make releases (whether in whole or in part) of all or any part of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral agreeable to the Administrative Agent without notice to, or the consent, approval
or agreement of other parties and interests, including junior lienors, which releases shall not impair in any manner the validity of or priority of the Liens and security interests in the remaining Disposition Proceeds Collateral conferred
hereunder, nor release any Grantor from personal liability for the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Agreement. Each Grantor hereby waives any and all
right to require the marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein or in any Loan Document. 
 4.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained. The express
terms hereof and of the Joinder Agreements control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof and thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision
hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement. 

4.14 Reliance. Each Grantor hereby consents and agrees that all Persons shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof
and of the Joinder Agreements as conclusive evidence of the right of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights, privileges, and remedies hereunder and thereunder with respect to the Disposition Proceeds
Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Grantor or any other Person to any Persons. 
 4.15 Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto, and to their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall be permitted to assign this Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or 

  
 15 









 
any interest herein or therein or in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein, or otherwise pledge, encumber or grant any option with respect to the
Disposition Proceeds, or any part thereof, or any cash or property held by the Administrative Agent as the Disposition Proceeds under this Agreement except as expressly permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing sentence of this Section 4.15, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent
permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender
herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof (concerning assignments and participations). All
references herein to the Administrative Agent and to the Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees from time to time of the Secured Obligations. 

4.16 Secured Cash Management and Secured Hedge Agreements. No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that
obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral (including the release or impairment of any
Disposition Proceeds Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent
shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to the extent the
Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Secured Party not a party to the
Credit Agreement who obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and
omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred
under Article IX of the Credit Agreement 
 4.17 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are
independent of and separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this
Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 4.18
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for
more than one such counterpart executed by the Grantor against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.18, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be
applicable to this Agreement. 

  
 16 









 4.19 Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.08, this
Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder (excluding those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by
any party on the Facility Termination Date. Upon such termination of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Grantors, promptly deliver to the Grantors the Escrowed Shares, all other certificated Restricted Equity
Interests and the Disposition Proceeds Collateral and take such actions at the request of the Grantors as may be necessary to effect the same. 
 4.20 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given (a) with respect to any Grantor hereunder, at the address of the Company indicated in Schedule 10.02 of
the Credit Agreement and (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, at the Administrative Agent’s address indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All such addresses may be modified, and all
such notices shall be given and shall be effective, as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement for the giving and effectiveness of notices and modifications of addresses thereunder. 

4.21 Joinder. Each Person who shall at any time execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement and who
is identified therein as a “Grantor” (as such term is defined in this Agreement) under this Agreement shall thereupon irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and obligated hereunder to the extent required pursuant
to such Joinder Agreement as a Grantor and shall have thereupon pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof granted a security interest in and collaterally assigned and pledged to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all
Disposition Proceeds which it has at its applicable date of execution of its respective Joinder Agreement or thereafter acquires any interest or the power to transfer, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Grantors or to
the parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to include such Person as a Grantor hereunder. Each Joinder Agreement shall be accompanied by the Supplemental Schedules referred to therein, appropriately completed with information relating to the
Grantor executing such Joinder Agreement and its property. Each of the applicable Schedules attached hereto shall be deemed amended and supplemented without further action by such information reflected on the Supplemental Schedules to each Joinder
Agreement. 
 4.22 Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Section 1.02 of
the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement and each Joinder Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any Credit Extensions
referred to herein or secured hereby. 
 4.23 Governing Law; Waivers. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH JOINDER
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE. 

(b) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY JOINDER AGREEMENT 

  
 17 









 
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN MAY BE INSTITUTED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND, BY THE EXECUTION
AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR A JOINDER AGREEMENT, EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE NOW OR HEREAFTER TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OR TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 
 (c) EACH GRANTOR
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY PERSONAL SERVICE OF A COPY OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OR BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (POSTAGE PREPAID) TO THE ADDRESS OF SUCH GRANTOR
PROVIDED IN SECTION 4.20 OR BY ANY OTHER METHOD OF SERVICE PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAWS IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (d) NOTHING CONTAINED IN SUBSECTIONS (b) OR (c) HEREOF SHALL PRECLUDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY JOINDER AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN THE COURTS OF ANY PLACE WHERE ANY GRANTOR OR ANY OF SUCH GRANTOR’S PROPERTY OR ASSETS MAY BE FOUND OR LOCATED. 
 (e) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY JOINDER AGREEMENT OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT
DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY AND
HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PERSON MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING. 
 (f) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE THAT ANY COURT TO WHOSE JURISDICTION IT HAS SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
