Collateral held by it other than dividends and interest paid at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (collectively referred to the “Excluded Payments”); provided, however, that until
actually paid, all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Security Agreement. 
 (iv) All
Excluded Payments, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by the Grantor, be 








 
received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of the Grantor, and be forthwith delivered to the
Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) 
 4.7 Commercial Tort Claims.
The Grantor shall promptly, and in any event within 60 days after any Commercial Tort Claim (as defined in the UCC) in excess of $5,000,000 is acquired by it, enter into an amendment to this Security Agreement, granting to Collateral Agent a
perfected security interest with the priority required to pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement in such Commercial Tort Claim. 
 4.8 No
Interference. The Grantor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent provided for in this Security Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. 
 4.9 Change of Name
or Location. The Grantor shall not change its name as it appears in official filings in the state of its incorporation or organization, (b) change the type of entity that it is, (c) change its organization identification number, if
any, issued by its state of incorporation or other organization, or (d) change its state of incorporation or organization, in each case, unless it shall have provided the Collateral at least fifteen days’ prior written notice thereof and
taken any action required to continue the perfection of any Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, in any Collateral; provided that any new location shall be in the United States. 
 4.10 Updated Collateral Information. Within 60 days following each anniversary of the Effective Date, the Grantor shall promptly furnish to the
Collateral Agent such updates to the information covered by Article III, including any of Exhibit hereto but excluding Section 3.8, such that such updated information and exhibits are true and correct as of the date so furnished;
provided that the Collateral Agent may request more frequent update if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 ARTICLE V 
 REMEDIES 
 5.1 Remedies. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies: 
 (i) those rights and remedies provided in this
Security Agreement, the Indenture or any other Financing Document; provided that this Section 5.1(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of
Default; 
 (ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement; 







 (iii) without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein),
demand or advertisement of any kind to the Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of the Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell,
lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from
time to time with or without notice and may take place at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem
commercially reasonable; and 
 (iv) concurrently with written notice to the Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the
name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and
all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the
outright owner thereof. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal
law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale
or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.

 (d) Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have
the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if
it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment
without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor the
Secured Parties shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations
or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any
such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral. 







 (f) The Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any
or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. The Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to
the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The
Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so. 
 5.2 Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor will: 
 (a) assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified
by the Collateral Agent, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere; 
 (b) permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral
Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the
books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and
occupancy; 
 (c) take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the
Pledged Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral. 
 5.3
Distribution of Proceeds. Any proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in connection with the enforcement of remedies pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

the Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that, this authorization shall not relieve the Grantor of
any of its obligations under this Security Agreement. 
 (b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Section 6.1 are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent agrees that, except for the powers granted in Section 6.1(a)(i)-(vi) and Section 6.1(a)(xvi), it shall not exercise any power or authority granted to it unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 6.2 Proxy. THE GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE COLLATERAL
AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1 ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED 








 
COLLATERAL, INCLUDING AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING, THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO

ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

 6.3 Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS
ARTICLE VI IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.13. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT, NOR ANY SECURED
PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL

 ARTICLE VII 
 COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS 
 7.1 Collateral Accounts. The Collateral Agent shall establish, when and as needed, an account which shall be entitled the “Collateral Account” (the “Collateral Account”), and
shall maintain such accounts, at the office of the Collateral Agent’s corporate trust administration. All moneys which are required by the Intercreditor Agreement or this Agreement (subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement)
while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or which are received by the Collateral Agent or any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the relevant Debt
Instrument, whether in connection with the exercise of the remedies provided in this Agreement or in any other Collateral Document or otherwise, shall be deposited in the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account shall be held by the
Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 







 7.2 Control of Collateral Account. All right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account
shall vest in the Collateral Agent, and funds on deposit in the Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral. The Collateral Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. The Grantor shall have
no right of withdrawal from the Collateral Account other than pursuant to Section 7.4 below. 
 7.3 Investment of Funds Deposited in
Collateral Account. The Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest moneys on deposit in the Collateral Account at any time in cash and cash equivalents as directed in writing by the relevant Grantor. In the absence of such directions, moneys

not be responsible for any diminution in funds resulting from such investments or any liquidation prior to maturity. 
 7.4 Withdrawals by

 ARTICLE VIII 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS

 8.1 Waivers. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of
any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to
the Grantor, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and
advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or
hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
Except as otherwise 








 
specifically provided herein, the Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any
kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral. 
 8.2 Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and Secured Parties’
Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in
its possession or under its control. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or
such Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, the Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or
otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by
other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated
on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same
business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a
specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the
Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the
Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of
this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed
to grant any rights to the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2. 







 8.3 Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantor and the Collateral Agent recognize that
setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of
success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, the Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to
time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any
Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action. 
 8.4 Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent may perform or pay any
obligation which the Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and failed to do so in the time frame required hereunder, and the Grantor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant
to this Section 8.4. The Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Obligation payable not later than 10 Business Days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

 8.5 Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained
in Sections 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.9, 5.2, or 8.6 or in Article VII will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect
of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantor contained in this Security Agreement, that the
covenants of the Grantor contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantor. 
 8.6 No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed
to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or
other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and then only to the extent
in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties until the Obligations have been
paid in full. No notice to or demand on the Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 8.7 Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof 








 
does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory
provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this
Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the
operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable. 
 8.8 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or
against the Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should the Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the
Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 8.9 Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantor, the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that the Grantor shall not have the right to assign its rights or
delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the
Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder. 
 8.10 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Security Agreement. 
 8.11 Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled
payable by Federal or State or other taxing entity or authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Grantor, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Grantor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration,
collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral. Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantor in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantor. 







 8.12 Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement. 
 8.13
Termination; Release. 
 (a) This Security Agreement and the security interest granted hereby shall terminate upon the first to
occur of any of the following events: (i) the payment in full of all of the Obligations; (ii) Collateral Agent’s receipt of an Officer’s Certificate that such release does not conflict with, or result in a breach of or default
under, the Debt Instruments; or (iii) the release of the Liens on the Collateral or the total liquidation of the Collateral and the distribution of all the proceeds in accordance herewith. 
 (b) Upon termination pursuant to 8.13(a), any Lien upon the Collateral granted hereunder shall be automatically released, without delivery of any
instrument or performance of any act by any party. In connection therewith, at the written request and sole expense of the Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantor all releases or other documents, including, without
limitation, UCC termination statements, reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of such Lien. Grantor shall be responsible for filing any such releases. In connection with any such release, the Collateral Agent agrees to promptly deliver
to the Grantor any portion of such Collateral in the possession of the Collateral Agent. 
 8.14 Entire Agreement. This Security
Agreement, together with the Indenture and the other Note Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantor and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
between the Grantor and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.

GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS. 
 8.16 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT AND THE GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY TO BRING PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST THE GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE GRANTOR AGAINST THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED

 8.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE GRANTOR, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND
EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DEBT INSTRUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER. 
 8.18 Indemnity. The Grantor hereby agrees to
indemnify the Collateral Agent and its officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents, to the extent provided in Section 8.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 8.19 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security
Agreement by signing any such counterpart. 
 8.20 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Security Agreement, the Liens, security interests and rights granted pursuant to this Security Agreement or any other Debt Instrument shall be as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of (and the exercise of any right or remedy by
the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of), the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Security Agreement or any other Debt Instrument and the Intercreditor Agreement,

 THE COLLATERAL AGENT 
 Wells Fargo Bank, National Association has been appointed Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties hereunder pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. It
is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Security Agreement that any authority conferred upon the
