 (e) Such Lien Grantor has good and marketable title to all its Collateral (subject to exceptions that
are, in the aggregate, not material), free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens. 
 (f) Such Lien Grantor has not
performed any acts that might prevent the Agent from enforcing any of the provisions of the Security Documents or that would limit the Agent in any such enforcement. No financing statement, security agreement, mortgage or similar or equivalent
document or instrument covering all or part of the Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor is on file or of record in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect or record a Lien on such Collateral, except
financing statements, mortgages or other similar or equivalent documents with respect to Permitted Liens. After the Closing Date, no Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor will be in the possession or under the Control of any other Person having a
claim thereto or security interest therein, other than a Permitted Lien. 
 (g) The Transaction Liens on all Personal Property
Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor (i) have been validly created, (ii) will attach to each item of such Collateral on the Closing Date (or, if such Lien Grantor first obtains rights thereto on a later date, on such later date) and
(iii) when so attached, will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Lien Grantor’s Transaction Guarantee, as the case may be. 

(h) When the relevant Mortgages have been duly executed and delivered, the Transaction Liens on all Real Property Collateral owned by
such Lien Grantor as of the Closing Date will have been validly created and will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Lien Grantor’s Transaction Guarantee, as the case may be. When such Mortgages (and memoranda of lease with respect to
any leasehold interests included in such Real Property Collateral) have been duly recorded, such Transaction Liens will rank prior to all other Liens (except Permitted Liens) on such Real Property Collateral. 

(i) Such Lien Grantor has delivered a Perfection Certificate to the Agent. The information set forth therein is correct and complete as
of the Closing Date. 
 (j) When UCC financing statements describing the Collateral as “all personal property” have
been filed in the offices specified in such Perfection Certificate, the Transaction Liens will constitute perfected security interests in the Personal Property Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor to the extent that a

  

 14 








 
security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. When, in addition to the filing of such UCC
financing statements, the applicable Intellectual Property Filings have been made with respect to such Lien Grantor’s Recordable Intellectual Property (including any future filings required pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 6(a)), the Transaction
Liens will constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of such Lien Grantor in its Recordable Intellectual Property to the extent that security interests therein may be perfected by such filings, prior to all Liens and
rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. Except for (i) the filing of such UCC financing statements, (ii) such Intellectual Property Filings, (iii) the due recordation of memoranda of lease with respect to the Pledged
leasehold interests and (iv) the due recordation of the Mortgages, no registration, recordation or filing with any governmental body, agency or official is required in connection with the execution or delivery of the Security Documents or is
necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof or for the perfection or due recordation of the Transaction Liens or for the enforcement of the Transaction Liens. 

(k) Such Lien Grantor has taken, and will continue to take, all actions necessary under the UCC to perfect (and maintain the perfection
of) its interest in any Accounts or Chattel Paper purchased or otherwise acquired by it, as against its assignors and creditors of its assignors. 

(l) Such Lien Grantor’s Collateral is insured as required by the Loan Agreement. 

(m) All of such Lien Grantor’s Inventory has or will have been produced in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Fair
Labor Standards Act, as amended. 
 SECTION 4. Further Assurances; General Covenants. Each Lien Grantor covenants as
follows: 
 (a) Such Lien Grantor will, from time to time, at the US Borrower’s expense, execute, deliver, file and record
any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any other action (including any Intellectual Property Filing and any filing of financing or continuation statements under the UCC) that from time to time may be
reasonably necessary, or that the Agent may reasonably request, in order to: 
 (i) create, preserve, perfect,
confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such Lien Grantor’s Collateral; 
  

 15 








 (ii) in the case of Pledged Deposit Accounts and Pledged Investment
Property, cause the Agent to have Control thereof; 
 (iii) enable the Agent and the other Secured Parties to
obtain the full benefits of the Security Documents; or 
 (iv) enable the Agent to exercise and enforce any of
its rights, powers and remedies with respect to any of such Lien Grantor’s Collateral. 
 To the extent permitted by applicable law, such
Lien Grantor authorizes the Agent to execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements without such Lien Grantor’s signature appearing thereon. Such Lien Grantor constitutes the Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file
all Intellectual Property Filings and other filings required or so requested for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all
the Transaction Liens granted by such Lien Grantor terminate pursuant to Section 19. The US Borrower will pay the costs of, or incidental to, any Intellectual Property Filings and any recording or filing of any financing or continuation
statements or other documents recorded or filed pursuant hereto. 
 (b) Such Lien Grantor will not (i) change its name or
corporate structure, (ii) change its location (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307) or (iii) become bound, as provided in UCC Section 9-203(d) or otherwise, by a security agreement entered into by another Person, unless
it shall have given the Agent at least 30 days prior notice thereof. 
 (c) Except for sales of inventory in the ordinary course
of business, such Lien Grantor will not sell, lease, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of its Collateral; provided that such Lien Grantor may do any of the foregoing unless (i) doing so
would violate a covenant in the Loan Agreement or (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent shall have notified such Lien Grantor that its right to do so is terminated, suspended or otherwise limited.
Concurrently with any sale, lease or other disposition (except a sale or disposition to another Lien Grantor or a lease) permitted by the foregoing proviso, the Transaction Liens on the assets sold or disposed of (but not in any Proceeds
arising from such sale or disposition) will cease immediately without any action by the Agent or any other Secured Party. The Agent will, at the US Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the relevant Lien Grantor such documents as such Lien
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the fact that any asset so sold or disposed of is no longer subject to a Transaction Lien. 
  

 16 








 (d) Such Lien Grantor will, promptly upon request, provide to the Agent all information and
evidence concerning such Lien Grantor’s Collateral that the Agent may reasonably request from time to time to enable it to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents. 

SECTION 5. Equipment. Each Lien Grantor covenants that it will not permit any of its Pledged Equipment to become a fixture to
real estate or an accession to any personal property that is not included in the Collateral. 
 SECTION 6. Recordable
Intellectual Property. Each Lien Grantor covenants as follows: 
 (a) On the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Lien
Grantor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Lien Grantor), such Lien Grantor will sign and deliver to the Agent Intellectual Property Security Agreements with respect to all
Recordable Intellectual Property then owned by it. Within 30 days after each June 30 and December 31 thereafter, it will sign and deliver to the Agent an appropriate Intellectual Property Security Agreement covering any Recordable
Intellectual Property owned by it on such June 30 or December 31 that is not covered by any previous Intellectual Property Security Agreement so signed and delivered by it. Each Lien Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to make all
Intellectual Property Filings necessary to record the Transaction Liens on its Recordable Intellectual Property. 
 (b) Such
Lien Grantor will notify the Agent promptly if it knows that any application or registration relating to any Recordable Intellectual Property owned or licensed by it that is material to its business may become abandoned or dedicated to the public,
or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any adverse determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding
such Lien Grantor’s ownership of such Recordable Intellectual Property, its right to register or patent the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same. If any of such Lien Grantor’s rights to any Recordable Intellectual Property are
infringed, misappropriated or diluted in any material respect by a third party, such Lien Grantor will notify the Agent within 30 days after it learns thereof and will, unless such Lien Grantor shall reasonably determine that such action would be of
negligible value, economic or otherwise, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as such Lien Grantor shall
reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Recordable Intellectual Property. 
  

 17 








 SECTION 7. Investment Property. Each Lien Grantor represents, warrants and
covenants as follows: 
 (a) Certificated Securities. On the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Lien Grantor) or
the date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Lien Grantor), such Lien Grantor will deliver to the Applicable Agent as Collateral hereunder all certificates representing Pledged
Certificated Securities then owned by such Lien Grantor. Thereafter, whenever such Lien Grantor acquires any other certificate representing a Pledged Certificated Security, such Lien Grantor will immediately deliver such certificate to the
Applicable Agent as Collateral hereunder. The provisions of this subsection are subject to the limitation in Section 7(j) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary. 

(b) Uncertificated Securities. On the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Lien Grantor) or the date on which it signs and
delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Lien Grantor), such Lien Grantor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of each Pledged Uncertificated Security
then owned by such Lien Grantor and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Applicable Agent (which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Lien Grantor acquires any other Pledged Uncertificated Security, such Lien Grantor
will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Applicable Agent (which shall enter into the same). The
provisions of this subsection are subject to the limitation in Section 7(j) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary. 

(c) Security Entitlements. On the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Lien Grantor) or the date on which it signs and
delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Lien Grantor), such Lien Grantor will, with respect to each Security Entitlement then owned by it, enter into (and cause the relevant Securities Intermediary to enter into) a
Securities Account Control Agreement in respect of such Security Entitlement and the Securities Account to which the underlying Financial Asset is credited and will deliver such Securities Account Control Agreement to the Applicable Agent (which
shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Lien Grantor acquires any other Security Entitlement, such Lien Grantor will, as promptly as practicable, cause the underlying Financial Asset to be credited to a Controlled Securities Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (c), the Lien Grantors have the right not to comply therewith with respect to Securities Accounts having an aggregate value of less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all Lien Grantors;
provided, that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Applicable Agent may terminate the foregoing right not to comply, or reduce the amount 

 

 18 








 
thereof, by giving at least 10 Business Days’ notice of such termination or reduction to the relevant Lien Grantors. 

(d) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When such Lien Grantor delivers the certificate representing any Pledged
Certificated Security owned by it to the Applicable Agent and complies with Section 7(h) in connection with such delivery, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Certificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or
rights of others (except Liens permitted under Section 6.01(b) of the Loan Agreement), (ii) the Applicable Agent will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security and (iii) the Applicable Agent will be a protected purchaser
(within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof. 
 (e) Perfection as to Uncertificated Securities. When such Lien
Grantor, the Applicable Agent and the issuer of any Pledged Uncertificated Security owned by such Lien Grantor enter into an Issuer Control Agreement with respect thereto, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Uncertificated Security will be
perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (except Liens permitted under Section 6.01(b) of the Loan Agreement), (ii) the Applicable Agent will have Control of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and (iii) the
Applicable Agent will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof. 
 (f) Perfection as
to Security Entitlements. So long as the Financial Asset underlying any Security Entitlement owned by such Lien Grantor is credited to a Controlled Securities Account, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Security Entitlement will be perfected,
subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (except Liens and rights of the relevant Securities Intermediary that are Permitted Liens and any other Liens consented to by the Agent, and Liens permitted under Section 6.01(b) of the Loan
Agreement), (ii) the Applicable Agent will have Control of such Security Entitlement and (iii) no action based on an adverse claim to such Security Entitlement or such Financial Asset, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive
trust, equitable lien or other theory, may be asserted against the Applicable Agent or any other Secured Party. 
 (g)
Agreement as to Applicable Jurisdiction. In respect of all Security Entitlements owned by such Lien Grantor, and all Securities Accounts to which the related Financial Assets are credited, the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction
(determined as provided in UCC Section 8-110(e)) will at all times be located in the United States. 
 (h) Delivery of
Pledged Certificates. All Pledged Certificates, when delivered to the Applicable Agent, will be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment

  

 19 








 
in blank, with signatures appropriately witnessed, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Applicable Agent. 

(i) Communications. Each Lien Grantor will promptly give to the Agent copies of any material notices and communications received
by it with respect to (i) Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Lien Grantor or its nominee and (ii) Pledged Security Entitlements as to which such Lien Grantor is the Entitlement Holder. 

(j) Foreign Subsidiaries. A Lien Grantor will not be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section at any time with
respect to any voting Equity Interest in a Foreign Subsidiary if and to the extent (but only to the extent) that such voting Equity Interest is excluded from the Transaction Liens at such time pursuant to clause (B) of the proviso at the end of
Section 2(a) and/or the comparable provisions of one or more Security Agreement Supplements. 
 (k) Compliance with
Applicable Foreign Laws. If and so long as the Collateral includes (i) any Equity Interest in, or other Investment Property issued by, a legal entity organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States or (ii) any
Security Entitlement in respect of a Financial Asset issued by such a foreign legal entity, the relevant Lien Grantor will take all such action as may be required under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction to ensure that the Transaction Lien on
such Collateral ranks prior to all Liens and rights of others therein. 
 SECTION 8. Controlled Deposit Accounts.
Each Lien Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows: 
 (a) All cash owned by such Lien Grantor will be
deposited, upon or promptly after the receipt thereof, in one or more Controlled Deposit Accounts. Each Controlled Deposit Account will be operated as provided in Section 10. 

(b) In respect of each Controlled Deposit Account, the Depositary Bank’s jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC
Section 9-304) will at all times be a jurisdiction in which Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect. 
 (c)
So long as the Applicable Agent has Control of a Controlled Deposit Account, the Transaction Lien on such Controlled Deposit Account will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others (except the Depositary Bank’s right to deduct
its normal operating charges and any uncollected funds previously credited thereto and any other Liens consented to by the Agent, and Permitted Liens). 
  

 20 








 (d) Materiality Exception. The Lien Grantors have the right not to comply with the
foregoing provisions of this Section with respect to (i) Deposit Accounts that are payroll or trust accounts and (ii) other Deposit Accounts having total collected balances that do not at any time exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate for all
Lien Grantors. 
 SECTION 9. Cash Collateral Accounts. (a) The Lien Grantors will establish the following
Deposit Accounts (each such Deposit Account, a “Cash Collateral Account”), which will be operated as provided in this Section and Section 10: 

(i) at or prior to the time such account shall be required in accordance with Section 9(b)(i), the Collection Account
which shall be under the exclusive control of the Agent (or, if so instructed by the Authorized Term Collateral Agent, the Authorized Term Collateral Agent); 

(ii) when and as required by the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Letter of Credit Account which shall be under the
exclusive control of the Agent; and 
 (iii) at or prior to the time such account shall be required in accordance
with Section 9(b)(iii), the Term Proceeds Account, which shall be under the control of the Agent (or the ABL Agent (for the benefit of the Agent in accordance with the ABL Intercreditor Agreement)). 

(b) The following amounts shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Accounts: 

(i) the Agent shall deposit to the Collection Account each amount realized or otherwise received with respect to assets of
any Lien Grantor upon any exercise of remedies pursuant to any Security Document; 
 (ii) the Lien Grantors shall
deposit to the Letter of Credit Account all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.02(k) and Article 7 of the Loan Agreement; and 

(iii) the Lien Grantors shall cause all principal payments made to them on the Foreign Intercompany Receivables Collateral
to be deposited to the Term Proceeds Account. 
 (c) The Agent shall maintain such records and/or establish such sub-accounts as
shall be required to enable it to identify the amounts held in each 
  

 21 








 
Cash Collateral Account from time to time pursuant each clause of subsection (b) of this Section, as applicable. 

(d) The Lien Grantors shall not permit to be deposited to the Term Proceeds Account any amounts that do not constitute Term Priority
Collateral. 
 (e) Unless an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Lien Grantors shall have the right to withdraw funds held
in the Term Proceeds Account for their general corporate (or limited liability company) purposes. 
 (f) Subject to the ABL
Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall be continuing, amounts held in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Agent in accordance with the Term Intercreditor Agreement. 

SECTION 10. Operation of Collateral Accounts. (a) Funds held in any Cash Collateral Account may, until withdrawn, be
invested and reinvested in such Permitted Investments as the US Borrower shall request from time to time; provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent (in the case of the Collection Account and the
Letter of Credit Account) or the Applicable Agent (in the case of all other Cash Collateral Accounts) may select such Permitted Investments. Funds held in any Controlled Deposit Account or Controlled Securities Account may, until withdrawn, be
invested and reinvested in such Permitted Investments as the US Borrower shall request from time to time; provided that (i) prior to the ABL Termination Date, if a Liquidity Trigger Period shall be continuing or (ii) at all other
times, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Agent may select such Permitted Investments. Any investment income received on the Cash Collateral Accounts will be deposited into and become part of the Cash
Collateral Accounts. 
 (b) With respect to each Controlled Deposit Account and each Controlled Securities Account (it being
understood that the provisions of Section 9 shall apply to all Cash Collateral Accounts), the Applicable Agent will instruct the relevant Securities Intermediary or Depositary Bank that the relevant Lien Grantor may withdraw, or direct the
disposition of, funds held therein unless and until the Applicable Agent rescinds such instruction. The Applicable Agent will not rescind such instructions unless (i) prior to the ABL Termination Date, a Liquidity Trigger Period shall be
continuing or (ii) at all other times, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (c) If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent (with respect to the Collection Account and the Letter of Credit Account) and the Applicable Agent (with respect to any other Collateral Account) may retain or liquidate, or instruct the
relevant Securities Intermediary or Depositary Bank to retain or liquidate, any or all cash or investments then held in such 
  


 22 








 
Collateral Account and/or withdraw any amounts held therein and apply such amounts as provided in Section 14. 

SECTION 11. Transfer of Record Ownership. At any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Applicable Agent may (and to the extent that action by it is required, the relevant Lien Grantor, if directed to do so by the Applicable Agent, will as promptly as practicable) cause each of the Pledged Securities (or any portion thereof specified
in such direction) to be transferred of record into the name of the Applicable Agent or its nominee. Each Lien Grantor will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Applicable Agent to facilitate compliance with this Section. If the
provisions of this Section are implemented, Section 7(b) shall not thereafter apply to any Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Applicable Agent or its nominee. The Applicable Agent will promptly give to the relevant Lien
Grantor copies of any notices and other communications received by the Applicable Agent with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the Applicable Agent or its nominee. 

SECTION 12. Right to Vote Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lien
Grantor will have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to any Pledged Security owned by it and the Financial Asset underlying any Pledged Security Entitlement owned by it, and the Agent
will, upon receiving a written request from such Lien Grantor, deliver to such Lien Grantor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect of any such Pledged Security that is
registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee or any such Pledged Security Entitlement as to which the Agent or its nominee is the Entitlement Holder, in each case as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance satisfactory
to the Agent. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Agent will have no right to take any action which the owner of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest is entitled to take with respect
thereto, except the right to receive payments and other distributions to the extent provided herein. 
 (b) If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Agent will have the right (but not the obligation), to the extent permitted by law (and, in the case of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest, by the relevant partnership
agreement, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or other governing document), to vote, to give consents, ratifications and waivers and to take any other action with respect to the Pledged Investment Property, the other Pledged
Equity Interests (if any) and the Financial Assets underlying the Pledged Security Entitlements, with the same force and effect as if the Applicable Agent were the absolute and sole owner 

 

 23 








 
thereof, and each Lien Grantor will take all such action as the Applicable Agent may reasonably request from time to time to give effect to such right. 

SECTION 13. Remedies upon Event of Default. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to
the Term Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent may exercise (or cause its sub-agents to exercise) any or all of the remedies available to it (or to such sub-agents) under the Security Documents. 

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the terms of (i) the Term Intercreditor Agreement and
(ii) with respect to each Type of Common Collateral, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all the rights of a secured party under
the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with respect to any Personal Property Collateral and, in addition, the Agent (with respect to the Collection Account and the Letter of Credit Account) and the
Applicable Agent (with respect to any other Collateral Account) may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, withdraw all cash held in such Collateral Account and
apply such cash as provided in Section 14 and, if there shall be no such cash or if such cash shall be insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations in full, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof.
Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to the relevant Lien Grantor(s) as required by Section 16. The foregoing provisions of this subsection shall apply to Real Property Collateral only to the extent permitted by
applicable law and the provisions of any applicable Mortgage or other document. 
 (c) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the terms of (i) the Term Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) with respect to each Type of Common Collateral, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement: 

(i) the Agent may license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or
non-exclusive basis, any Pledged intellectual property (including any Pledged Recordable Intellectual Property) throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Agent shall in its sole discretion determine;
provided that such licenses or sublicenses do not conflict with any existing license of which the Agent shall have received a copy; 

(ii) the Agent may (without assuming any obligation or liability thereunder), at any time and from time to time, in its
sole and reasonable discretion, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against 
  

 24 








 
any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of any Lien Grantor in, to and under any of its Pledged intellectual property and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and
each Lien Grantor releases the Agent and each other Secured Party from liability for, and agrees to hold the Agent and each other Secured Party free and harmless from and against any claims and expenses arising out of, any lawful action so taken or
omitted to be taken with respect thereto, except for claims and expenses arising from the Agent’s or such Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision; and 
 (iii) upon request by the Agent (which shall not be construed as implying any
limitation on its rights or powers), each Lien Grantor will execute and deliver to the Agent a power of attorney, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, for the implementation of any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of such
Lien Grantor’s Pledged intellectual property or any action related thereto. In connection with any such disposition, but subject to any confidentiality restrictions imposed on such Lien Grantor in any license or similar agreement, such Lien
Grantor will supply to the Agent its know-how and expertise relating to the relevant intellectual property or the products or services made or rendered in connection with such intellectual property, and its customer lists and other records relating
to such intellectual property and to the distribution of said products or services. 
 SECTION 14. Application of
Proceeds. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) any cash held in the Collection Account and the Letter of Credit Account and (ii) subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement with respect
to each Type of Common Collateral, any amounts held in any other Collateral Account and the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.01
of the Term Intercreditor Agreement, provided that (i) Collateral owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall be applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses only to the extent that the value thereof does not exceed the
largest amount that would not render the Transaction Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable law. The Agent may make such
distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof. 
 (b) If at any time any portion
of any monies collected or received by the Agent would, but for the provisions of this Section 14(b), be payable pursuant to Section 14(a) in respect of a Contingent Secured Obligation, the Agent shall not apply any monies to pay such
Contingent Secured Obligation but instead shall 
  

 25 








 
request the holder thereof, at least 10 days before each proposed distribution hereunder, to notify the Agent as to the maximum amount of such Contingent Secured Obligation if then ascertainable
(e.g., in the case of a letter of credit, the maximum amount available for subsequent drawings thereunder). If the holder of such Contingent Secured Obligation does not notify the Agent of the maximum ascertainable amount thereof at least two
Business Days before such distribution, such holder will not be entitled to share in such distribution. If such holder does so notify the Agent as to the maximum ascertainable amount thereof, the Agent will allocate to such holder a portion of the
monies to be distributed in such distribution, calculated as if such Contingent Secured Obligation were outstanding in such maximum ascertainable amount. However, the Agent will not apply such portion of such monies to pay such Contingent Secured
Obligation, but instead will hold such monies or invest such monies in Permitted Investments. All such monies and Permitted Investments and all proceeds thereof will constitute Collateral hereunder, but will be subject to distribution in accordance
with this Section 14(b) rather than Section 14(a). The Agent will hold all such monies and Permitted Investments and the net proceeds thereof in trust until all or part of such Contingent Secured Obligation becomes a Non-Contingent Secured
Obligation, whereupon the Agent at the request of the relevant Secured Party will apply the amount so held in trust to pay such Non-Contingent Secured Obligation. If (i) the holder of such Contingent Secured Obligation shall advise the Agent
that no portion thereof remains in the category of a Contingent Secured Obligation and (ii) the Agent still holds any amount held in trust pursuant to this Section 14(b) in respect of such Contingent Secured Obligation (after paying all
amounts payable pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to any portions thereof that became Non-Contingent Secured Obligations), such remaining amount will be applied by the Agent in the order of priorities set forth in Section 14(a).

 (c) In making the payments and allocations required by this Section, the Agent may rely upon information supplied to it
pursuant to Section 18(c). All distributions made by the Agent pursuant to this Section shall be final (except in the event of manifest error) and the Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Secured Party of any amount
distributed to it. 
 SECTION 15. Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The US Borrower and the Guarantors,
jointly and severally, will forthwith upon demand pay to the Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent: 

(i) the amount of any taxes that the Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent may have been required to pay by
reason of the Transaction Liens or to free any Collateral from any other Lien thereon; 
 (ii) the amount of any
and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including transfer taxes and reasonable fees and expenses of 
  

 26 








 
counsel, professional advisors and other experts, that the Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (x) the administration or enforcement of the Security
Documents, including such expenses as are incurred to preserve the value of the Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank or value of any Transaction Lien, (y) the collection, sale or other disposition of any Collateral or (z) the
exercise by the Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent of any of its rights or powers under the Security Documents; 

(iii) the amount of any fees that the Borrowers shall have agreed in writing to pay to the Agent and the Authorized Term
Collateral Agent and that shall have become due and payable in accordance with such written agreement; and 

(iv) the amount required to indemnify the Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent and their directors, officers,
agents, counsel and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) for, or hold them harmless and defend them against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel, professional advisors
and any experts or sub-agents appointed by them hereunder) incurred or suffered by the Indemnitees or any of them in connection with the Security Documents, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense arises from the Agent’s or
the Authorized Term Collateral Agent’s (as the case may be) gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of any duty that the Agent or the Authorized Term Collateral Agent (as the case may be) has under this Agreement (after giving effect
to Sections 17 and 18), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. 
 Any such amount not paid
to the Agent or the Authorized Term Collateral Agent on demand will bear interest for each day thereafter until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. 

(b) If any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax or other tax is payable in connection with any transfer or other transaction provided for
in the Security Documents, the US Borrower will pay such tax and provide any required tax stamps to the Agent and the Authorized Term Collateral Agent or as otherwise required by law. 

SECTION 16. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Lien Grantor irrevocably appoints the Agent its true and lawful
attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Lien Grantor, any Secured Party or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Parties, but at the US Borrower’s expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at
any time and from time to 
  

 27 








 
time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Lien Grantor’s Collateral: 

(a) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by
virtue thereof, 
 (b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect
thereto, 
 (c) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as
fully and effectually as if the Agent were the absolute owner thereof, and 
 (d) to extend the time of payment
of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto; 
 provided that, except in the case of
Personal Property Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Agent will give the relevant Lien Grantor at least ten days’ prior written notice of the time
and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made. Any such notice shall (i) contain the information specified in UCC Section 9-613, (ii) be Authenticated
and (iii) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to UCC Section 9-611(c); provided that, if the Agent fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the
liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC. 
 SECTION 17. Limitation on Duty in Respect of
Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income
therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if
such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or
omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision. 
 SECTION 18. General Provisions Concerning the Agent.  

 

 28 








 (a) The provisions of Article 8 of the Loan Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
Agent, and shall be binding upon all Lien Grantors and all Secured Parties, in connection with this Agreement and the other Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Agent shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Security Documents that the Agent is required in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided
in Section 10.09 of the Loan Agreement), and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to any
Group Member that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the validity, perfection, continuation,
priority or enforceability of any Transaction Lien, including without limitation the filing, form, content or renewal of UCC financing statements, Mortgages or similar documents or instruments, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of
any action or omission to act on its part under the Security Documents. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by a Lien Grantor or a Secured Party.

 (b) Sub-Agents and Related Parties. The Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers
through one or more sub-agents appointed by it and shall not be responsible for the negligence of such sub-agents appointed with reasonable care. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and
powers through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of Section 17 and this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent. 

(c) Information as to Secured Obligations and Actions by Secured Parties. For all purposes of the Security Documents, including
determining the amounts of the Secured Obligations and whether a Secured Obligation is a Contingent Secured Obligation or not, or whether any action has been taken under any Secured Agreement, the Agent will be entitled to rely on information from
(i) its own records for information as to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, their Secured Obligations and actions taken by them, (ii) any Secured Party for information as to its Secured Obligations and actions taken by it, to the extent
that the Agent has not obtained such information from its own records, and (iii) the Borrowers, to the extent that the Agent has not obtained information from the foregoing sources. 

 

 29 








 (d) Refusal to Act. The Agent may refuse to act on any notice, consent, direction or
instruction from any Secured Parties or any agent, trustee or similar representative thereof that, in the Agent’s opinion, (i) is contrary to law or the provisions of any Security Document, (ii) may expose the Agent to liability
(unless the Agent shall have been indemnified, to its reasonable satisfaction, for such liability by the Secured Parties that gave such notice, consent, direction or instruction) or (iii) is unduly prejudicial to Secured Parties not joining in
such notice, consent, direction or instruction. 
 SECTION 19. Termination of Transaction Liens; Release of Collateral.
(a) The Transaction Liens granted by each Guarantor shall terminate when its Transaction Guarantee terminates in accordance with the Loan Agreement. 

(b) The Transaction Liens shall terminate when all the Release Conditions are satisfied; provided, that if at any time any payment
of a Secured Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency or receivership of either Borrower or otherwise, the Transaction Liens shall be reinstated. 

(c) At any time before the Transaction Liens terminate, the Agent may, at the written request of either of the Borrowers, release any
Collateral (but not all or substantially all the Collateral) with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (d) Upon
any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the Agent will, at the expense of the relevant Lien Grantor, execute and deliver to such Lien Grantor such documents as such Lien Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the
termination of such Transaction Lien or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 20. Additional
Lien Grantors. Any Subsidiary may become a party hereto by signing and delivering to the Agent a Security Agreement Supplement, whereupon such Subsidiary shall become a “Lien Grantor” as defined herein. 

SECTION 21. Notices. Each notice, request or other communication given to any party hereunder shall be given or made in
accordance with Section 10.01 of the Loan Agreement. 
 SECTION 22. No Implied Waivers; Remedies Not Exclusive.
No failure by the Agent or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right or remedy under any Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise by the Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy under any 
  

 30 








 
Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies specified in the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 
 SECTION 23. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is
for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties. If all or any part of any Secured Party’s interest in any Secured Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Agreement, the transferor’s
rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall be automatically transferred with such obligation. This Agreement shall be binding on the Lien Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. 

SECTION 24. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended, modified or
terminated except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent, with the consent of such Lenders as are required to consent thereto under Section 10.09 of the Loan Agreement. No such waiver, amendment or
modification shall (i) be binding upon any Lien Grantor, except with the written consent of the Borrowers, or (ii) affect the rights of a Secured Party (other than a Lender) hereunder more adversely than it affects the comparable rights of
the Lenders hereunder, without the consent of such Secured Party. 
 SECTION 25. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall
be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 26. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
  

 31 








 SECTION 27. Severability. Any provision of any Security Document held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 28. Loan Agreement, Security Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the
Loan Agreement and this Agreement but subject to Section 30, the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the other Security Documents and this Agreement but subject
to Section 30, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. 
 SECTION 29. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or electronic image scan transmission (such as a “pdf” file) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 30 Intercreditor Agreements. Reference is made to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the
Term Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the
Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the Term Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor
Agreement or the Term Intercreditor Agreement, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Term Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall control.
