expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral and without limitation on the Companies other obligations contained in this Agreement:

4.1. Promissory Notes and Tangible Chattel Paper.

If any Company shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire promissory notes or tangible chattel paper, with a principal amount
(together with any other tangible chattel paper and instruments that have not been delivered to the Administrative Agent and electronic chattel paper governed by § 4.5 hereof) outstanding exceeding an aggregate of one hundred thousand
dollars (US $100,000), such Company shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time

4.2. Deposit Accounts.

For each deposit account that any Company, now or at any time hereafter, opens or maintains, such Company shall, at the Administrative
Agents option, either (a) enter into a Control Agreement with the Administrative Agent and the depositary bank substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to the



---

substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent to become the customer of the depositary bank with respect to the deposit account, with such Company being permitted, only with the consent of the Administrative Agent
(which consent shall only be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit account. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (i) a deposit
account for which the Administrative Agent is the depositary bank and is in automatic control, (ii) any deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the

Subject to Section 5.1, if any Company shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire any certificated securities (other than short term marketable debt securities in an immaterial amount), such
Company shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities
now or hereafter acquired by any Company are uncertificated and are issued to such Company or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Company shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agents
request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (a) cause the issuer to agree to comply without further consent of such Company or such nominee, at any time with

with a value in excess of $500,000, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by any Company, are held by any Company or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary,
the Companies shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agents option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) cause such securities
intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply, in each case without further consent of the Companies or such nominee, at any time with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Administrative Agent to such
securities intermediary as to such securities or other investment property, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Administrative Agent to such commodity intermediary, or
(ii) in the case of financial assets or other investment property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with the Companies being
permitted, only with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account
for which the Administrative Agent is the securities intermediary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it will (i) not send any instructions or entitlement orders to any depository bank, issuer, commodity
intermediary, or securities intermediary unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and (ii) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default, and with regard only to those



---

securities of which pursuant to clause (b) of this § 4.3 it is the registered owner, comply with the Companies instructions.

4.4. Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee.

If any Collateral is, now or at any time hereafter, in the possession of a bailee (other than Collateral held by a third party on a
temporary basis while in transit or for purposes of repair in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices) with a value in aggregate in excess of $100,000 the Companies shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and,
at the Administrative Agents reasonable request and option, shall promptly obtain an acknowledgement from the bailee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and such bailees agreement to comply, without further consent of the Companies, at any time with instructions of the Administrative Agent as to such Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it will not give any such instructions to any bailee hereunder unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing.

request and option of the Administrative Agent, shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Administrative Agent control, under § 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or any other
relevant jurisdiction, of such electronic chattel paper, or control, under § 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, § 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as
so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such electronic chattel paper record.

4.6. Letter-of-Credit Rights.

If any of the Companies is, now or at any time hereafter, a beneficiary under a letter of credit for an amount in
excess of one hundred thousand dollars (US $100,000) now or hereafter, the Companies shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the Administrative Agent, the Companies shall, pursuant to an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (a) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of the letter of credit
or (b) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Administrative Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of the letter of credit are to be applied as provided in the
Credit Agreement.

4.7. Commercial Tort Claims.

If any of the Companies shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire a commercial tort claim reasonably expected to exceed five
hundred thousand dollars (US$500,000), the Companies shall promptly, and in any event within 30 days, upon a Responsible Officer becoming aware of the initiation of proceedings in respect of such claims notify the Administrative Agent in a writing
signed by the relevant Company of the particulars thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms
of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

thereafter, for motor vehicles owned by the Companies with a value of less than $100,000 in the aggregate at any time, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance

Default or upon the Administrative Agents reasonable request in the event of any change in applicable Laws, obtaining governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, including any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, and any party or parties whose consent is required for the security interest of the Administrative Agent to attach under § 2.3,
and (e) taking all actions as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be applicable in any relevant Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction.

11.2. Administrative Agents Obligations and Duties.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of

other sums at any time credited by or due from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any of the Companies may upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations.

thereof is to be made directly to the Administrative Agent or to any financial institution designated by the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agents agent therefor, and the Administrative Agent may itself, if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, upon notice to the applicable Company, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, the Companies shall hold
any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the applicable Company as trustee for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent,
without commingling the same with other funds of any of the Companies and shall turn the same over to the Administrative Agent in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Administrative Agent shall
apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to the Obligations in such order of priority as is contemplated by § 8.03 of the Credit
Agreement, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to
protect the interests of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon



---

the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it not any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any of the Companies for any act or failure to act, except for the Administrative Agents own gross negligence
or willful misconduct.



| | 15. | Rights and Remedies.
| | --- | --------------------

If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, without any other notice to or demand upon any of the Companies, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights
and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction and any additional rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which
Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Administrative Agent may, so far as such Company can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the
Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Administrative Agent may in its discretion require any of the Companies to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of such
Companys principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, the Administrative Agent shall give to the Companies at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition is to be made. Each of the Companies hereby acknowledges that ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, each of the Companies waives any and all rights that it may
have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Administrative Agents rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral
and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.



| | 16. | Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------

To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each of the Companies acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially
unreasonable for the Administrative Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) 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, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove Liens on or any adverse
claims against Collateral, (d) 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, (e) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Companies, for expressions of
interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) 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 capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale
rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the
Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed



---

appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the
Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each of the Companies acknowledges that the purpose of this § 16 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative
Agent would fulfill the Administrative Agents duties under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Administrative Agents exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this § 16. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this § 16 shall be
construed to grant any rights to the Companies or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this § 16.



| | 17. | No Waiver by Administrative Agent, etc.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights and remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent
with the consent of the Required Lenders, if required. No delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other
instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Administrative Agent deems expedient.



| | 18. | Suretyship Waivers by the Companies.
| | --- | ------------------------------------

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each of the Companies waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of Loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in
reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, each of the Companies assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement,
compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to the collection
or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in § 11.2. Each of the Companies
further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.



| | 19. | Marshalling.
| | --- | ------------

Except as
otherwise provided by applicable law, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the
Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder and of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each of the Companies hereby agrees
that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Administrative Agents rights and



---

remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each of the Companies hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.



| | 20. | Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses.
| | --- | -----------------------------------

Each of the Companies jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand any and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the
Administrative Agent in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Administrative Agents rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds
of collection or sale or other disposition of Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as is provided in the Credit Agreement, proper allowance and provision
being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and the cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit and after making any payments required by §§ 9-608(a)(1)(C)
or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, any excess shall be returned to the Companies. Subject to § 25, the Companies shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency.



| | 21. | Overdue Amounts.
| | --- | ----------------

Until
paid, all amounts due and payable by any of the Companies hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of interest for overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement.



| | 22. | Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Each of the Companies and the Administrative Agent agrees that any action or claim arising out of any dispute
in connection with this Agreement, any rights or obligations hereunder or the performance or enforcement of such rights or obligations may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or any federal court sitting therein and consents to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of such court and to service of process in any such suit being made upon each of the Companies by mail at the address set forth for the Companies and the Administrative Agent in § 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
Each of the Companies hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.



| | 23. | Waiver of Jury Trial.
| | --- | ---------------------

EACH
OF THE COMPANIES AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF
ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS. Except as prohibited by law, each of the Companies waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential
damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Each of the Companies (a) certifies that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor any representative, agent or attorney of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the



---

foregoing waivers or other waivers contained in this Agreement and (b) acknowledges that, in entering into the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained in this § 23.



| | 24. | Miscellaneous.
| | --- | --------------

The headings
of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon each of the Companies and its successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no
way be affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein. Each of the Companies acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement.



| | 25. | Termination.
| | --- | ------------

Upon
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations, (ii) in respect of Letters of Credit that have expired, terminated or been cash collateralized
or in respect of which the LC Issuer shall have been made the beneficiary of a stand-by letter-of-credit from another issuer acceptable to such LC Issuer and upon terms acceptable to such LC Issuer, (iii) in respect of Swap Contracts
constituting Obligations that have been cash collateralized or for which other satisfactory arrangements have been made and (iv) Obligations in respect of cash management services), (a) this Security Agreement and the security interests
created hereby shall automatically terminate and all rights to the remaining Collateral shall revert to the Companies and (b) with no further action on the part of any Person.



| | 26. | Release.
| | --- | --------

The security
interests created hereby shall automatically terminate and be automatically released with respect to any Collateral or any Company that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale not prohibited under the Credit Agreement or
under any other Loan Document and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Company with no further action on the part of any Person. With respect to any termination as set forth in §§ 25 and 26 hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Companies and at their expense, execute and deliver to the Companies such documents as the Companies shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, all without any representation, warranty
or recourse whatsoever.
