ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND RELEASE BY SUBORDINATING CREDITORS

Dated as of August 17, 2007

In
connection with the foregoing Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the Amendment), each of the undersigned, being a Creditor (each a Subordinating Creditor and collectively, the Subordinating
Creditors) under the Intercompany Subordination Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced in the Amendment), hereby confirms and agrees that the Intercompany Subordination Agreement is and shall continue to be, in full force
and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that, upon the effectiveness of, and on and after the date of the foregoing Amendment, each reference in the Intercompany Subordination Agreement to the Credit Agreement (as
defined in the Intercompany Subordination Agreement), thereunder, thereof or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended or modified by the
Amendment. Although Agent and the Lenders have informed Subordinating Creditors of the matters set forth in the Amendment, and Subordinating Creditors have acknowledged the same, each Subordinating Creditor understands and agrees that neither the
Lender Group nor the Bank Product Providers have any duty under the Credit Agreement, the Intercompany Subordination Agreements or any other agreement with any Subordinating Creditor to so notify any Subordinating Creditor or to seek such an
acknowledgment, and nothing contained herein is intended to or shall create such a duty as to any advances or transaction hereafter.
