Intercreditor Agreement, during the term of this Pledge Agreement and until all of the Secured Obligations have been fully and finally paid and discharged in full, each Pledgor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties that: 
 (a) Protect Collateral. Each Pledgor will warrant and defend the rights and title herein granted unto the

 Page 5 








 
Pledgor further agrees that it will (1) cause each issuer of the Collateral which is a wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower not to issue any other membership interests,
partnership interests, capital stock or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Collateral issued by such issuer, except to Pledgor and (2) pledge hereunder, on the later of (x) the date on which such Subsidiary complies
with Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement and (y) the date of its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any additional membership interests, partnership interests, capital stock or other securities of an issuer of the
Collateral. 
 (c) Jurisdiction of Formation. No Pledgor shall amend, supplement, modify or restate its articles or certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, limited liability company agreements, or other equivalent constitutive documents if such amendment, supplement, modification or restatement would be materially adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties. 

(d) Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees that, at its sole cost and expense, such Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary and that the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect, maintain and protect any security interest granted
or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. 

Section 5. Remedies upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 

(a) UCC Remedies. To the extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Required Lenders shall),
subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for in this Pledge Agreement or otherwise available to it, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral). This Pledge Agreement shall not be construed to authorize the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, to take any action prohibited by the UCC or to constitute a waiver by the Pledgor of any right that the UCC does not permit the Pledgor to waive. 

(b) Dividends and Other Rights. 

(i) Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and
other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) may be exercised by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent so elects, with the concurrence of, or shall, at the written direction
of, the Required Lenders, and gives written notice of such election to Pledgor and all rights of Pledgor to receive the dividends and other distributions on or in respect of the Collateral and the proceeds of sale of the Collateral which it would
otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) shall cease at such time as the Administrative Agent gives written notice to Pledgor and such written notice is deemed effective pursuant to the provisions of the Credit
Agreement related to effectiveness of notices. 

  
 Page 6 








 (ii) All dividends and other distributions on or in respect of the Collateral and the proceeds
of sale of the Collateral that are thereafter received by Pledgor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of
Pledgor, and shall be promptly paid over to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). 

(c) Sale of Collateral. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent
may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, sell all or part of the Collateral at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for
future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem commercially reasonable in accordance with applicable laws. Each Pledgor agrees that to the extent permitted by law such sales may be made
without notice. If notice is required by law, each Pledgor hereby deems 10 days’ advance notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made reasonable notification, recognizing that if the
Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market shorter notice may be reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall not, if it is directed by the Required Lenders not to do so, be obligated to
make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor shall cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in all respects in selling or realizing upon all or any part of the Collateral. In addition, each Pledgor shall fully comply with federal and state securities laws and take such actions as may be reasonably
necessary to permit the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities representing the Collateral in compliance with such laws. 

(d) Exempt Sale. If, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, there is any question that a public or
semipublic sale or distribution of any Collateral will violate any state or federal securities law, the Administrative Agent in its discretion may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders (i) offer
and sell securities privately to purchasers who will agree to take them for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution and who will agree to the imposition of restrictive legends on any certificates representing the security, or
(ii) sell such securities in an intrastate offering under Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no sale so made in good faith by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be not “commercially
reasonable” solely because so made. Each Pledgor shall cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent (or any officer or employee or agent thereof) in all reasonable respects in selling or realizing upon all or any part of the Collateral. 

(e) Application of Collateral. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds of any
sale, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pledged by any Pledgor shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as set forth in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement. 

  
 Page 7 








 (f) Cumulative Remedies. Each right, power and remedy herein specifically granted to the
Administrative Agent or otherwise available to it shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, and each such right, power
and remedy, whether specifically granted herein or otherwise existing, may be exercised at any time and from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders) in its (or their)
sole discretion. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any such right, power or remedy, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such rights, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 

Section 6. Administrative Agent as Attorney-in-Fact for Pledgors. 

(a) Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer
or employee or agent thereof as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to act for such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, and, in the Administrative
Agent’s discretion, subject to such Pledgor’s revocable rights specified in Section 2(d), to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, indorse, and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral, or any distribution in respect of
the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST. 

(b) Administrative Agent May Perform. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Administrative Agent may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Pledgor agrees hereunder to perform and which such Pledgor shall fail to perform within five (5) Business Days after being requested in writing by the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and after notice thereof by the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders to such Pledgor) and the Administrative Agent may from time to time take any other action which the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party reasonably deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the
Collateral or of its security interest therein, the reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of Base Rate
Advances, shall be payable by each Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby. 

(c) Administrative Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest
(for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the


  
 Page 8 








 
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for taking any necessary steps
to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. 
 (d) Reasonable Care. The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property,
it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not
the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. 

Section 7. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Expenses. Each Pledgor will upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties the
amount of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts, which the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may incur in connection with (i) the custody,
preservation, use, or operation of, or the sale, collection, or other realization of, any of the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party hereunder, and (iii) the
failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 
 (b) Amendments, Etc. Subject in each case to the terms
and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Pledge Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom shall be effective unless made in writing and authenticated by the Borrower, each
Pledgor affected thereby and the Administrative Agent. In addition, no such amendment or waiver shall be effective unless given or entered into with the necessary approvals of either the Required Lenders or all Lenders as required under the terms of
the Credit Agreement. Any such waiver or consent, whether by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 

(c) Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in the manner and to the addresses set
forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 (d) Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Interest. This Pledge Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral and, subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement and unless expressly released by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the requisite Lenders), shall
(i) remain in full force and effect until the Secured Obligations (including all Letter of Credit Obligations) are fully satisfied, all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired, all obligations of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in respect
of Letters of Credit have terminated or expired and the Commitments have terminated or expired, (ii) be binding upon the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together
with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of and be binding upon, the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees, and assigns. Upon the

payment in full and termination of the Secured Obligations (including all Letter of Credit Obligations), the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, the termination or expiration of
all obligations of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in respect of Letters of Credit and the termination or expiration of the Commitments, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the
Pledgors to the extent such Collateral shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause, when any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers any interest held by it under
the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, that other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits held by such Lender under this Pledge
Agreement. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, deliver all Collateral to the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing and
take any other actions reasonably requested to evidence or effect such termination. 
 (e) Waivers. Each Pledgor hereby waives: 

(i) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notice with respect to any of the Secured Obligations and this Pledge
Agreement; 
 (ii) any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect, or insure any Lien or any
Property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Pledgor or any other Person or any collateral; and 
 (iii)
any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent to disclose to any Pledgor any matter, fact, or thing relating to the business, operation, or condition of such Pledgor and its respective assets now known or hereafter known by such Person. 

(f) Severability. Wherever possible each provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement. 
 (g) Choice of Law. This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by
the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Texas. 
 (h) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties, this Pledge
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which for all purposes shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Pledge Agreement. 

(i) Reinstatement. If, at any time after the Secured Obligations (including all Letter of Credit Obligations) are fully satisfied, all
Letters of Credit have terminated or expired,

Administrative Agent pursuant to this Pledge Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Pledge Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
