for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, that so long as any of the Secured Obligations remains outstanding and until all of the commitments relating thereto have been terminated: 

(a) Authorization of Pledged Shares. The Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully
paid and non-assessable and are not subject to the pre-emptive rights of any Person. 
 (b) Title. The
Pledgor has good and indefeasible title to the Pledged Collateral of the Pledgor and is the legal and beneficial owner of such Pledged Collateral free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. With respect to the Pledged Shares of the
Pledgor, there exists no “adverse claim” within the meaning of (i) Section 8-102 of the UCC or (ii) any corresponding provision of the PPSA.

and sale of securities), except for such authorization, approvals or actions as have already been obtained or performed and are in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, there are no restrictions in any of the Organization Documents of the issuer of the Pledged Shares which would limit or restrict the grant of security interest hereunder or the exercise of the rights and remedies conferred hereby except
such restrictions as have already been complied with. 
 (e) Security Interest/Priority. This Pledge
Agreement creates a valid security interest in favour of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, in the Pledged Collateral. The taking of possession by the Collateral Agent or its duly authorized agent of the
certificates representing the Pledged Shares, or the acknowledgement by such agent that it holds such certificates for the Agent, together with duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, substantially in the form provided in
Schedule 4(a) attached hereto, and all other certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral, will perfect and establish the first priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Shares, and such
possession will establish the first priority of such security interest in all other Pledged Collateral represented by such Pledged Shares and instruments securing the Secured Obligations. Except as set forth in this Section 5(e), no
action is necessary at this time to perfect or otherwise protect such security interest. 
 (f) Partnership
and Membership Interests. As of the date hereof, none of the Pledged Shares consist of partnership or limited liability company interests. Except as previously disclosed to the Collateral Agent, none of the Pledged Shares consisting of

corresponding provisions of the STA, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) is held in a securities account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset. 

(g) No Other Interests. As of the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor is not
required to pledge any Capital Stock in any Subsidiary other than as set forth on Schedule 2(a) attached hereto. 
 (h) None of the issuers of the Pledged Shares are unlimited liability companies and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other person shall be liable for the obligations of any issuer of the Pledged
Shares as a result of the grant of security interest hereunder or the exercise of the rights and remedies conferred hereby. 

6. Covenants. The Pledgor hereby covenants, that so long as any of the Secured Obligations remains outstanding and until all of
the commitments relating thereto have been terminated, the Pledgor shall: 
 (a) Books and Records. Upon
the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, mark its books and records (and shall cause the issuer of the Pledged Shares of the Pledgor to mark its books and records) to reflect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, pursuant to this Pledge Agreement. 
 (b) Defense of
Title. Warrant and defend title to and ownership of the Pledged Collateral of the Pledgor at its own expense against the claims and demands of all other parties claiming an interest therein, keep the Pledged Collateral free from all Liens,
except for Permitted Liens, and not sell, exchange, transfer, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of Pledged Collateral of the Pledgor or any interest therein, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 (c) Further Assurances. Promptly execute and deliver at its expense
all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary and desirable or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect the security interest created hereby in the Pledged
Collateral of the Pledgor (including any and all action necessary to satisfy the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a first priority perfected security interest in all Pledged Collateral); (ii) enable the Collateral Agent
to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral of the Pledgor; and (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement. 

(d) Amendments. Not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any of the
Pledged Collateral of the Pledgor or enter into any agreement or allow to exist any restriction with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of the Pledgor other than pursuant hereto or as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement. 

(e) Compliance with Securities Laws. File all reports and other information now or hereafter required to be filed
by the Pledgor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Ontario Securities Commission, and any other state, provincial, territorial, federal or foreign agency in connection with the ownership of the Pledged Collateral of the
Pledgor. 
 (f) Issuance or Acquisition of Capital Stock Consisting of an Interest in a Partnership or a
Limited Liability Company. Not, without executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to the Collateral Agent such agreements, documents and instruments as the Collateral Agent may require, issue or acquire any Capital Stock
of a Subsidiary consisting of an interest in a partnership or a limited liability company that (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a security
governed by Article 8 of the UCC or the STA, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) is held in a securities account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset. 

7. Advances by Holders of the Secured Obligations. On failure of the Pledgor to perform any of the covenants and agreements
contained herein and upon prior written notice to the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem advisable in
the performance thereof, including the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures that
the Collateral Agent may make for the protection of the security hereof or may be compelled to make by operation of Law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Pledgor promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor,
shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall, subjection to Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement, bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. No
such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Pledgor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Pledgor of any default under the terms of this Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents
or any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations. The Collateral Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be
discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by the Pledgor
in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

 8. Events of Default. The occurrence of an event that would constitute an Event of
Default under the Credit Agreement shall be an Event of Default hereunder (an “Event of Default”). 
 9.
Remedies. 
 (a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
continuation thereof, the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or by Law
(including levy of attachment and garnishment), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or the PPSA, as the case may be, of the jurisdiction applicable to the enforcement of security interests in the affected Pledged Collateral.

 (b) Sale of Pledged Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation
thereof, without limiting the generality of this Section 9 and without notice, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more
parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, for cash, credit or for future delivery or otherwise
in accordance with applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Law, any holder of the Secured Obligations may in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law and
has not been waived by the Pledgor, any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to
the Pledgor, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale or such other notice as may be required by applicable Law. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral of the Pledgor regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 
 (c)
Private Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any
of the securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Collateral Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among
other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason that any such
private sale shall not have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such
Pledged Collateral to register such Pledged Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act or qualify such Pledged Collateral for sale under the applicable Law as in force from time to time in the relevant province or territory of Canada. The
Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such Pledged Collateral that has 

  
 ARMSTRONG
WORLD INDUSTRIES, INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED CANADIAN PLEDGE AGREEMENT 


  
 7 








 
been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer
may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act or the applicable Law as in force from time to time in the relevant province or territory of Canada), or (ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to
involve a “public sale” under the UCC and the PPSA, as applicable, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act or the applicable Law as in force from time to time in the relevant
province or territory of Canada, and the Collateral Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such Pledged Collateral. 
 (d) Retention of Pledged Collateral. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or Section 65 of the PPSA (Ontario) as applicable, or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction,
accept or retain all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have accepted or
retained any Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason. 
 (e)
Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations are legally entitled, the Pledgor shall be liable
for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and reasonable legal fees and expenses. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be
returned to the Pledgor or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto. 
 10.
Rights of the Collateral Agent. 
 (a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney
contained herein, the Pledgor hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor, irrevocably and with power of
substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 (viii)
to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security and pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Collateral Agent may
reasonably deem appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Pledge Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein; 

(ix) to exchange any of the Pledged Collateral or other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; 
 (x) to vote for a shareholder resolution, or to sign an instrument in
writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Pledged Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or one or more of the holders of the Secured Obligations or into the name of any transferee to whom the Pledged Collateral or any part
thereof may be sold pursuant to Section 9 hereof; and 
 (xi) to do and perform all such other acts
and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate or convenient in connection with the Pledged Collateral. 
 This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations shall remain outstanding and until all of the commitments relating thereto
shall have been terminated. The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Collateral Agent in this Pledge Agreement, and
shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or Law in its individual capacity or its capacity as
attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on the Collateral Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Pledged
Collateral. 
 (b) Assignment by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may assign the Secured
Obligations and any portion thereof and/or the Pledged Collateral and any portion thereof to a successor collateral agent appointed pursuant to Section 10.09 of the Credit Agreement, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Pledge Agreement in relation thereto.

 (c) The Collateral Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise
of reasonable care to assure the safe custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral while being held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being
understood and agreed that the Pledgor shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Pledged Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the
surrender of it to the Pledgor. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for
(i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or
(ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral. 
 (d) Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral. 

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by Law, the Pledgor may
exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral of the Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement; and 

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice from the Collateral Agent to the
Pledgor that the Collateral Agent intends to exercise its rights pursuant to this paragraph (ii), all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to
paragraph (i) of this subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights. 

(e) Dividend Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral. 

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to Section 4(b) hereof,
the Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends (other than stock dividends and other dividends constituting Pledged Collateral addressed hereinabove) or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent they are allowed
under the Credit Agreement. 
 (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
notice from the Collateral Agent to the Pledgor that the Collateral Agent intends to exercise its rights pursuant to this paragraph (e):

 ARMSTRONG
WORLD INDUSTRIES, INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED CANADIAN PLEDGE AGREEMENT

paragraph (i) of this subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged
Collateral such dividends and interest payments; and 
 (B) all dividends and interest payments that are
received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (A) of this subsection shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor, and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations. 

(f) Release of Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent may release any of the Pledged Collateral from this Pledge
Agreement or may substitute any of the Pledged Collateral for other Pledged Collateral without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Pledge Agreement as to any Pledged Collateral not
expressly released or substituted, and this Pledge Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien on all Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted. 
 11. Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Collateral Agent, may be exercised by the Required Lenders. 

12. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of
the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Pledged Collateral, when received by the Collateral Agent or any of the holders of the Secured Obligations in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the
order set forth in the Credit Agreement or other document relating to the Secured Obligations, and the Pledgor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent
shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records. 

13. Costs of Counsel. At all times hereafter, whether or not upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Pledgor agree to
promptly pay upon demand any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations (a) as required under Section 11.04 of the Credit
Agreement and (b) as necessary to protect the Pledged Collateral or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Pledge Agreement or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall constitute
Secured Obligations hereunder. 
 14. Continuing Agreement. 

(a) This Pledge Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect so
long as any of the Secured Obligations remains outstanding (other than contingent indemnity obligations not yet due and payable) and until all of the commitments relating thereto have been terminated. Upon such payment and termination, this Pledge
Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Pledgor, forthwith release and discharge all of its liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC
termination statements, PPSA

discharges and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Pledgor evidencing such termination, release and discharge and shall re-deliver the certificates evidencing the Pledged Shares to the
Pledgor or to such other Person as the Pledgor shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Pledge Agreement. 

(b) This Pledge Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations. 

15. Amendments and Waivers. This Pledge Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed,
discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement. 
 16. Successors in
Interest. This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon the Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and
the holders of the Secured Obligations hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that none of the Pledgor may assign its rights
or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the requisite Lenders under the Credit Agreement. 
 17.
Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Pledge Agreement shall be given as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. 
 18. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and
the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Pledge Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. 
 19. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Pledge
Agreement. 
 20. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue.

FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY
SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH PROVINCE OR STATE, AS APPLICABLE. 
 (c) EACH PARTY TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH
OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT

 21. Severability. If any provision of this Pledge Agreement or any related document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement and any other related document shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 22. Entirety. This Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other
documents relating to the Secured Obligations comprise the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. This Pledge Agreement
was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favour of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 

23. Survival. All representations and warranties made hereunder or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in
connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, regardless of any
investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time
of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 24. Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or
hereafter secured by property other than the Pledged Collateral (including real and other personal property owned by the Pledgor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Collateral Agent shall have the right to
proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and the Collateral Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or
remedies the Collateral Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Secured Obligations or any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or
the holders of the Secured Obligations under this Pledge Agreement, under any of the other Loan Documents or under any other document relating to the Secured Obligations. 
 25. Limitation on Guarantor Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan Documents or in any other documents relating to the Secured
Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any other applicable Debtor Relief Law (including any comparable provisions of any applicable state, or Canadian provincial, territorial or federal law). 

26. Replacement of Existing Pledge Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Existing Pledge Agreement shall be amended, restated and
