connection with any filings made to perfect or continue the Lien and security interest in the Collateral hereunder granted in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.



(d) All filing fees, advances, charges, costs and expenses,
including, to the extent payable pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement, reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Secured Parties (Attorney Costs), incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Pledge Agreement, or in the enforcement thereof, shall become a part of the Secured Obligations secured hereunder and shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of

of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section



3



---

2.09(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.



(e) Each Pledgor agrees to register and cause to be
registered the interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral on its own books and records and the registration books of each of the Pledged Subsidiaries.



2. Status of Pledged Interests.Each Pledgor hereby represents,
warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to itself and the Collateral as to which it has or acquires any interest, that:



(a) All of the Pledged Interests are, as of the date of execution of this Pledge Agreement or Pledge Joinder
Agreement by each Pledgor pledging such Pledged Interests (such date as applicable with respect to each Pledgor, its Applicable Date), and shall at all times thereafter be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable and constitute (i) with respect to Direct Foreign Subsidiaries, 65% of the Voting Securities (or if any Pledgor shall own less than 65%, then all of the Voting Securities owned by such Pledgor), and 100% of all other Subsidiary
Securities, of each Direct Foreign Subsidiary, and (ii) with respect to Domestic Subsidiaries, all of the Subsidiary Securities of all other Domestic Subsidiaries constituting Pledged Subsidiaries, and are accurately described on Schedule I.



(b) The Pledgor is as at its Applicable Date
and shall at all times thereafter (subject to Dispositions permitted under the Credit Agreement) be the sole registered and record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Interests, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens permitted by the Credit
Agreement), charges, equities, options, hypothecations, encumbrances and restrictions on pledge or transfer, including transfer of voting rights (other than the pledge hereunder and applicable restrictions pursuant to federal and state and
applicable foreign securities laws). Without limiting the foregoing, the Pledged Interests are not and will not be subject to any voting trust, shareholders agreement, right of first refusal, voting proxy, power of attorney or other similar
arrangement (other than the rights hereunder in favor of the Administrative Agent).



(c) At no time shall any Pledged Interests (i) be held or maintained in the form of a security entitlement or credited to any securities
account and (ii) which constitute a security (or as to which the related Pledged Subsidiary has elected to have treated as a security) under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware or of any other
jurisdiction whose laws may govern (the UCC) be maintained in the form of uncertificated securities. With respect to Pledged Interests 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 Pledged Interests are, and shall at all times be, represented by the share certificates listed on Schedule I hereto, which share certificates, with stock powers
duly executed in blank by the Pledgor, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent or are being delivered to the Administrative Agent simultaneously herewith or, in the case of Additional Interests as defined in Section 21, shall be
delivered pursuant to Section 21. In addition, with respect to all Pledged Interests, including Pledged Interests that are not securities under the UCC and as to



4



---

which the applicable Pledged Subsidiary has not elected to have such interests treated as securities under the UCC, the Pledgor has at its
Applicable Date delivered to the Administrative Agent (or has previously delivered to the Administrative Agent or, in case of Additional Interests shall deliver pursuant to Section 21) Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (or
appropriate amendments thereto) duly authorized by the Pledgor and naming the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as secured party, in form, substance and number sufficient in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent to be filed in all UCC filing offices and in all jurisdictions in which filing is necessary or advisable to perfect in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the Lien on such Pledged Interests,
together with all required filing fees. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(c), with respect to any Pledged Interests issued by any Direct Foreign Subsidiary, Pledgor shall deliver or cause to be delivered, (i) in
addition to or in substitution for all or any of the foregoing items, as the Administrative Agent may elect, such other instruments, certificates, agreements, notices, filings, and other documents, and take or cause to be taken such other action, as
the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary or advisable under the laws of the jurisdiction of formation of such Direct Foreign Subsidiary, to grant, perfect and protect as a first priority lien in such Collateral in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and (ii) an opinion of counsel acceptable in form and substance to the Administrative Agent issued by a law firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent licensed to practice law
in such foreign jurisdiction, with respect to the creation and perfection of the Lien on such Collateral.



(d) It has all requisite corporate power, legal right and lawful authority to execute this Pledge Agreement (and any Pledge Joinder
Agreement applicable to it) and to pledge, assign and transfer its Pledged Interests in the manner and form hereof.



(e) The pledge, assignment and delivery of its Pledged Interests (along with undated stock powers executed in blank, financing statements
and other agreements referred to in Section 2(c) hereof) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Pledge Agreement (or any Pledge Joinder Agreement) creates or continues, as applicable, a valid and
perfected first priority security interest in such Pledged Interests in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, assuming, in the case of the Pledged Interests which
constitute certificated securities under the UCC, continuous and uninterrupted possession by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent. The Pledgor will at its own cost and expense defend the Secured Parties right, title and
security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.



(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein pursuant to a Disposition permitted under the Credit Agreement, none of the Pledged
Interests (nor any interest therein or thereto) shall be sold, transferred or assigned without the Administrative Agents prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.



5



---

(g) It shall at all times cause the Pledged Interests of such Pledgor that constitute
securities (or as to which the issuer elects to have treated as securities) under the UCC to be represented by the certificates now and hereafter delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 1,
2 and 21 hereof and that it shall cause each of the Pledged Subsidiaries as to which it is the Pledgor not to issue any Subsidiary Securities, or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Subsidiary Securities,
at any time during the term of this Pledge Agreement unless the Pledged Interests of such Pledge Subsidiary are issued solely to either (y) such Pledgor who shall immediately comply with Sections 2 and 21 hereof with respect to such
property or (z) the Borrower or another Guarantor who shall immediately pledge such additional Subsidiary Securities to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 21 or 23 hereof, as applicable,
on substantially identical terms as are contained herein and deliver or cause to be delivered the appropriate documents described in Section 2(c) hereof to the Administrative Agent and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent may
deem necessary in order to perfect a first priority security interest in such Subsidiary Securities.



(h) The exact legal name and address, type of Person, jurisdiction of formation, jurisdiction of formation identification number (if any),
and location of the chief executive office of such Pledgor are as specified on Schedule II attached hereto. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Pledgor shall change its name, jurisdiction of formation (whether by reincorporation,
merger or otherwise), or the location of its chief executive office, except upon giving not less than fifteen (15)days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and taking or causing to be taken all such action at such Pledgors
expense as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Lien of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral.



3. Preservation and Protection of Collateral.



(a) The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or liability with respect to the collection, protection
or preservation of the Collateral, or otherwise, beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof while in its possession.



(b) Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor agrees to pay when due all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments against the
Collateral in which it has an interest, unless being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and against which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with that
used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements and evidenced to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and provided that all enforcement proceedings in the nature of levy or foreclosure are effectively stayed. Except as permitted by the
Credit Agreement, upon the failure of any Pledgor to so pay or contest such taxes, charges, Liens or assessments, or upon the failure of any Pledgor to pay any amount pursuant to Section 1(c), the Administrative Agent at its option may pay or
contest any of them (the Administrative Agent having the sole right to determine the legality or validity and the amount necessary to discharge such taxes, charges, Liens or assessments) but shall not have any obligation to make any such



6



---

payment or contest. All sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent, including reasonable Attorney Costs, court costs, expenses and other charges related
thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Pledgor to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and remedies
resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.



(c) Each Pledgor hereby (i) irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to file (with, or to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
without the signature of the Pledgor appearing thereon) financing statements (including amendments thereto and continuations and copies thereof) showing such Pledgor as debtor at such time or times and in all filing offices as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, or otherwise to give effect to the transactions herein contemplated,
and (ii) irrevocably ratifies and acknowledges all such actions taken by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent prior to the Applicable Date.



4. Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent is given full power and
authority, then or at any time thereafter, to sell, assign, deliver or collect the whole or any part of the Collateral, or any substitute therefor or any addition thereto, in one or more sales, with or without any previous demands or demand of
performance or, to the extent permitted by Law, notice or advertisement, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect; and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at the Administrative Agents place of business or
elsewhere, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem fair; and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party
may be the purchaser of any or all Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of any Pledgor or right of redemption. Demands of performance, advertisements and presence of property and sale and notice of
sale are hereby waived to the extent permissible by Law. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public
sale of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and applicable state Law, and may be otherwise delayed or adversely affected in effecting any sale
by reason of present or future restrictions thereon imposed by governmental authorities, and that as a consequence of such prohibitions and restrictions the Administrative Agent may be compelled (a) to resort to one or more private sales to a
restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or (b) to seek regulatory approval of any
proposed sale or sales, or (c) to limit the amount of Collateral sold to any Person or group. Each Pledgor agrees and acknowledges that private sales so made may be at prices and upon terms less favorable to such Pledgor than if such Collateral was
sold either at public sales or at private sales not subject to other regulatory restrictions, and that the Administrative Agent, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, has no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Collateral for the
period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Subsidiary to register or otherwise qualify the Collateral, even if such Pledged Subsidiary would agree to register or otherwise qualify such Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act or
applicable



7



---

state Law. Each Pledgor further agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, that the use of private sales made under the foregoing circumstances to
dispose of the Collateral shall be deemed to be dispositions in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that a ready market may not exist for the Pledged Interests if they are not traded on a national securities exchange
or quoted on an automated quotation system and agrees and acknowledges that in such event the Pledged Interests may be sold for an amount less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the Pledged Subsidiarys assets minus its
liabilities. In addition to the foregoing, the Secured Parties may exercise such other rights and remedies as may be available under the Loan Documents, at law (including without limitation the UCC) or in equity.



5. Proceeds of Sale. The net cash proceeds resulting from the
collection, liquidation, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses (including all Attorney Costs) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting, liquidating and
the like, and then to the satisfaction of all Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall be liable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand any deficiency which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.



6. Presentments, Demands and Notices. The Administrative Agent
shall not be under any duty or obligation whatsoever to make or give any presentments, demands for performances, notices of nonperformance, protests, notice of protest or notice of dishonor in connection with any obligations or evidences of
indebtedness held thereby as collateral, or in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness which constitute in whole or in part the Secured Obligations secured hereunder.



7. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Pledgors
attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Pledge Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which
appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise rights under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and
other orders for the payment of money made payable to any Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment, principal payment or other distribution payable or distributable in respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full
discharge for the same.



8. Reinstatement. The
granting of a security interest in the 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 in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or any other Loan Party
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive repayment of all of the Secured



8



---

Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Pledge Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination upon occurrence of the
Facility Termination Date. For purposes of this Pledge Agreement, Facility Termination Date means the date as of which all of the following shall have occurred: (a) the Borrower shall have permanently terminated the credit
facilities under the Loan Documents by final payment in full of all Outstanding Amounts, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon, other than (i) the undrawn portion of Letters of Credit and (ii) all letter of credit fees
relating thereto accruing after such date (which fees shall be payable solely for the account of the L/C Issuer and shall be computed (based on interest rates and the Applicable Rate then in effect) on such undrawn amounts to the respective expiry
dates of the Letters of Credit), in each case as have been fully Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made; (b) all Commitments shall
have terminated or expired; (c) the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower and each other Loan Party under all Related Credit Arrangements shall have been fully, finally and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and the Related Credit
Arrangements shall have expired or been terminated, or other arrangements satisfactory to the counterparties shall have been made with respect thereto; and (d) the Borrower and each other Loan Party shall have fully, finally and irrevocably paid and
satisfied in full all other Obligations (except for obligations consisting of continuing indemnities and other contingent Obligations of the Borrower or any Loan Party that may be owing to the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties or
any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and expressly survive termination of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document).



9. Waiver by the Pledgors. Each Pledgor 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 (i) proceed against any Person or entity, including without limitation any Loan Party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral or other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or (iii) 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, (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 Pledgor 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: (x) take and hold security that may be granted to it, other than the Collateral herein described, for the payment of such
Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Collateral herein described or any part thereof or any such other security; and (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply
such 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 Collateral or any part thereof to a Pledgor and the
receipt thereof by such Pledgor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.



9



---

10. Dividends and Voting Rights.



(a) All dividends and other distributions with respect to
any of the Pledged Interests shall be subject to the pledge hereunder, provided, however, that cash dividends paid to a Pledgor as record owner of the Pledged Interests, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement to be declared
and paid, may be retained by such Pledgor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, free from any Liens hereunder.



(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the registration of the Collateral in the name of a Pledgor as
record and beneficial owner shall not be changed and such Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights and powers pertaining to the Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Documents.



(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgors to receive and retain cash dividends and other distributions upon the Collateral pursuant to subsection (a) above shall cease and shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, and each Pledgor shall promptly deliver, or shall cause to be promptly delivered, all such cash dividends and other distributions with respect to the Pledged Interests to the Administrative Agent (together, if the Administrative
Agent shall request, with the documents described in Sections 1(c) and 2(c) hereof or other negotiable documents or instruments so distributed) to be held by it hereunder or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to be applied to
the Secured Obligations. Pending delivery to the Administrative Agent of such property, each Pledgor shall keep such property segregated from its other property and shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties.



(d) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of the Administrative Agent, all rights of each of the Pledgors to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers which it is authorized to exercise pursuant to subsection (b) above
shall cease and the Administrative Agent may thereupon (but shall not be obligated to), at its written request, cause such Collateral to be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee or agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and/or exercise such voting or consensual rights and powers as appertain to ownership of such Collateral, and to that end each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote and
exercise all other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Pledged Interests hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, which proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Facility
Termination Date, and each Pledgor hereby agrees to provide such further proxies as the Administrative Agent may request; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent in its discretion may from time to time refrain from exercising,
and shall not be obligated to exercise, any such voting or consensual rights or such proxy.



11. 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



10



---

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 Pledgor may have ceased.



12. Other Rights. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Pledge
Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party under any Related Credit Arrangement 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.



13. Anti-Marshaling Provisions. The right is hereby given by
each Pledgor 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 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 Collateral conferred hereunder, nor release any
Pledgor from personal liability for the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in the 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 Collateral shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Pledge Agreement. Each Pledgor 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 other Loan Document or in any Related Credit Arrangement.



14. Entire Agreement. This Pledge Agreement and each Pledge 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 Pledge 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 Pledge Agreement nor any Pledge 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.

Pledgor agrees at its own expense to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered as may be necessary or advisable to give effect thereto, such additional conveyances, assignments, financing
statements, control agreements, documents, certificates, stock powers, agreements and instruments, as the Administrative Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or any

---

Administrative Agent its rights, powers and remedies for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder or thereunder. Each Pledgor hereby consents and agrees
that the Pledged Subsidiaries and all other Persons, shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof and of the Pledge 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 Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Pledgor or any other Person to any of such
Pledged Subsidiaries or other Persons.



16. Binding
Agreement; Assignment. This Pledge Agreement and each Pledge 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 Pledgor shall be permitted to assign this Pledge Agreement, any Pledge Joinder Agreement or any interest herein or therein or in the Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein, or otherwise pledge,
encumber or grant any option with respect to the Collateral, or any part thereof, or any cash or property held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral under this Pledge Agreement (except as permitted under the Credit Agreement). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 16, 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.



17. Related Credit Arrangements. All obligations of each
Pledgor under or in respect of Related Credit Arrangements (which are not prohibited under the terms of the Credit Agreement) to which any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender is a party, shall be deemed to be Secured Obligations secured hereby,
and each Lender or Affiliate of a Lender party to any such Related Credit Arrangement shall be deemed to be a Secured Party hereunder with respect to such Secured Obligations; provided, however, that such obligations shall cease to be
Secured Obligations at such time, prior to the Facility Termination Date, as such Person (or Affiliate of such Person) shall cease to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement.



No Person who obtains the benefit of any Lien by virtue of the provisions of
this Section shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral)
other than in its capacity as a Lender and only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement who obtains the benefit of this Pledge Agreement by virtue of the provisions of this
Section 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



12

be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Credit Agreement.



18. Severability. The provisions of this Pledge 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
Pledge Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.



19. Counterparts. This Pledge 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 Pledge Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Pledgor against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing provisions
of this Section 19, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Pledge Agreement.



20. Termination. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8, this Pledge Agreement and each Pledge Joinder Agreement, and all
obligations of the Pledgors 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 Pledge Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Pledgors, promptly deliver to the Pledgors the certificates evidencing its shares of Pledged Interests (and any other property received as a
dividend or distribution or otherwise in respect of such Pledged Interests to the extent then held by the Administrative Agent as additional Collateral hereunder), together with any cash then constituting the Collateral not then sold or otherwise
disposed of in accordance with the provisions hereof, and take such further actions at the request of the Pledgors as may be necessary to effect the same.



(b) In the event that any Collateral is Disposed of or released pursuant to and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, such Collateral shall be sold or
otherwise Disposed of free and clear of the Lien created by the Security Instruments and the obligations of this Pledge Agreement, and the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the Borrower, will duly assign, deliver and transfer to
such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representations or warranties) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) released and as may be in possession of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and has not
theretofore been released pursuant to this Pledge Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted by this Section 20.



(c) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower such other
documents or releases and take any other actions at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request to release the Liens granted hereby.



21. Additional Interests. If any Pledgor shall at any time acquire or hold any additional Pledged Interests,
including any Pledged Interests issued by any Subsidiary not listed on Schedule I hereto which are required to be subject to a Lien pursuant to a Pledge Agreement by the terms hereof or of any provision of the Credit Agreement (any such
shares being referred

Agreement applies, within the time period specified in such Section or elsewhere in the Credit Agreement with respect to such Additional Interests; provided, however, that the failure to comply with the provisions of this
Section 21 shall not impair the Lien on Additional Interests conferred hereunder.



22. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given (a) with respect to the Borrower, at the address of the Borrower indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, (b) with
respect to each Subsidiary which is a Pledgor hereunder, at the address then in effect for the giving of notices to such Subsidiary under the Guaranty to which it is a party, and (c) with respect to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, 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.



23. Joinder. Each Person who shall at any time execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pledge Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto shall thereupon
irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and obligated hereunder as a Pledgor and shall have thereupon pursuant to Section 1 hereof granted a security interest in and collaterally assigned and pledged to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all Pledged Interests which it has at its Applicable Date or thereafter acquires any interest or the power to transfer, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the
Pledgors or to the parties to this Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to include such Person as a Pledgor hereunder. Each Pledge Joinder Agreement shall be accompanied by the Supplemental Schedules referred to therein, appropriately completed with
information relating to the Pledgor executing such Pledge 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.



24. Rules of
Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Article I of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Pledge Agreement and each Pledge Joinder Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and
warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any extension of credit referred to herein or secured hereby.

such Credit Agreement shall govern.
