shall not include Excluded Swap Obligations owing from such Credit Party. 
 3. Grant of Security Interest. In
consideration of and as security for the full and complete payment of all of the Secured Obligations, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall at all times have, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Lenders, a security interest in all of the Collateral. For the better protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, the Pledgor has executed appropriate transfer powers, in the form of the attached Exhibit B, with
respect to the Pledged Securities and, concurrently herewith, is depositing the Pledged Securities and the aforesaid transfer powers with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders. The Pledgor authorizes the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the Lenders, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to transfer the Pledged Securities into the name of the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s nominee, but the
Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to do so. Notwithstanding any provision or inference herein or elsewhere to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall have no right to vote the Pledged Securities at any time unless and until an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 4. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows: 
 4.1. The Pledgor is the legal record and beneficial owner
of, and has good and marketable title to, the Pledged Securities, and the Pledged Securities are not subject to any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option, warrant or other encumbrance whatsoever, nor to any
agreement purporting to grant to any third party a security 

  
 E-2








 
interest in the property or assets of the Pledgor that would include such Pledged Securities, except the security interest created by this Agreement or otherwise securing only the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders. 
 4.2. All of the Pledged Securities have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid
and non-assessable. 
 4.3. The Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all of the Pledged Securities
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 4.4. No consent, license, permit, approval or authorization, filing or declaration
with any Governmental Authority, and no consent of any other Person, is required to be obtained by the Pledgor in connection with the pledge of the Pledged Securities hereunder, that has not been obtained or made, and is not in full force and
effect. 
 4.5. The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Securities hereunder creates a valid first lien on, and a
first perfected security interest in, the Pledged Securities and the proceeds thereof. Other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledgor has not granted any other liens on, or security interests in, the Pledged Securities. 

4.6. The Pledged Securities constitute (a) sixty-five percent (65%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of equity
interests or stock of each first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of the Pledgor, (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the non-voting equity interests or stock of each first tier Foreign Subsidiary of the Pledgor, and (c) one hundred percent
(100%) of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interest owned by the Pledgor of each Domestic Subsidiary of the Pledgor. 
 4.7. The Pledgor fully anticipates that the Obligations will be repaid without the necessity of selling the Pledged Securities. 
 4.8. The Pledgor has received consideration that is the reasonably equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Pledgor has incurred to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The
Pledgor is not insolvent, as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will the Pledgor be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Agreement to the Administrative Agent or any other documents executed and delivered to
the Administrative Agent, or, the Lenders in connection herewith. The Pledgor is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by the Pledgor are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital,
taking into consideration the obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder. The Pledgor does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond the Pledgor’s ability to pay such debts as they
mature. 
 4.9. If the Pledged Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144, or any
amendment thereof, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as determined by counsel for the Pledgor, the Pledgor further represents and warrants that (a) the Pledgor has been the beneficial
owner of the Pledged Securities for a 

  
 E-3








 
period of at least one year prior to the date hereof, (b) the full purchase price or other consideration for the Pledged Securities has been paid or given at least one year prior to the date
hereof, and (c) the Pledgor does not have a short position in or any put or other option to dispose of any securities of the same class as the Pledged Securities or any other securities convertible into securities of such class. 

5. Additional Covenants of the Pledgor. 
 5.1. The Pledgor covenants and agrees to defend the right, title and security interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in and to the Pledged Securities and the proceeds thereof, and to
maintain and preserve the lien and security interest provided for by this Agreement against the claim and demands of all Persons, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect. 

5.2. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor covenants and agrees not to sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise
dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any of the Pledged Securities, or any interest
therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security interest provided for by this Agreement and any security agreement securing only the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 

5.3. The Pledgor covenants and agrees (a) to cooperate, in good faith, with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and to do or
cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, (b) not to take any action, or to fail to take any action that would be adverse to the interest of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral and hereunder, and (c) to make any sale or sales of any portion or all of the Pledged Securities valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations,
orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales at the Pledgor’s expense. 

6. Events of Default and Remedies. 
 6.1. The occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an Event of Default. 
 6.2. The Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall at all times have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the U.C.C. and the Ohio Revised Code as in effect from time to time,
in addition to the rights and remedies of a secured party provided elsewhere within this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, or otherwise provided in law or equity. 

6.3. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may
sell, assign, transfer and deliver any of the Collateral, at any time, or from time to time. No prior notice need be given to the Pledgor 

  
 E-4








 
or to any other Person in the case of any sale of Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any securities exchange,
over-the-counter market or other recognized market, but in any other case the Administrative Agent shall give the Pledgor no fewer than ten days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after
which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The Pledgor waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any kind in respect of any such
sale. At any such public sale, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights the Pledgor hereby waives and releases. After deducting all Related
Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any, secured by liens having precedence over this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may apply the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in
such order and by such division as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to the Pledgor, and the obligors on the Obligations shall remain liable for any
deficiency. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall at all times during the continuance of an Event of Default have the right to obtain new appraisals of the Pledgor or the Collateral, the cost of which shall be paid by the Pledgor. 

7. Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to make,
constitute and appoint any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may select, in its exclusive discretion, as the Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse the Pledgor’s name on
all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for the Administrative Agent to take actions with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, actions necessary for the
Administrative Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Collateral to any Person or Persons. The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This
power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement. 
 8. Costs and Expenses. If the Pledgor fails to
comply with any of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent may do so in the name of the Pledgor or in the name of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, but at the Pledgor’s expense, and the Pledgor hereby agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in full for all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in protecting, defending and maintaining the Collateral. Without
limiting the foregoing, any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the filing or recording of any documents (including all taxes
in connection therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of any taxes, maintenance fees, encumbrances or otherwise protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral, or in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising
out of or related to the Collateral, shall be borne and paid by the Pledgor upon request of the Administrative Agent. 
 9.

All notices pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received. 
 10. No Waiver or Course of
Dealing. No course of dealing between the Pledgor and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, any right, power or privilege
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. 
 11. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power or privilege specified or referred to in
this Agreement is in addition to any other rights, powers and privileges that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have or acquire by operation of law, by other contract or otherwise. Each right, power or privilege may be exercised by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders either independently or concurrently with other rights, powers and privileges and as often and in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may deem expedient. All of the rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Loan Documents, or by any other agreements or by law shall be cumulative and may be executed singularly or concurrently. 

12. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and, if any clause or provision shall be held invalid and
unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any
other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. 
 13. Modifications. This
Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by the Pledgor and the Administrative Agent. No waiver or consent granted by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Administrative

shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable and exercisable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and


  
 E-6








 
permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment or transfer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be null and void. 

15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement integrates all of the terms and conditions with respect to the Collateral and supersedes all
oral representations and negotiations and prior writings, if any, with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 16. Headings;
Execution. The headings and subheadings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature, which, when so executed and
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original. 
 17. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. The provisions of this
Agreement and the respective rights and duties of the Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in

Agreement, any Loan Document or any Related Writing, and the Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal court. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or
proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. The Pledgor agrees that a final, nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding in any state or federal court in the State of Ohio shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
