(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower and the Guarantors when due (whether at
the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations. This is a guarantee of payment and not collection. 
 (b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount
which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

this Article II or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party hereunder. 

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that if the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations is accelerated by bankruptcy or
otherwise, such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the purpose of this guarantee without demand or notice to such Guarantor. The guarantee contained in this Article II shall remain in full force and effect until all the Secured
Obligations (other than amounts in respect of indemnification, expense reimbursement, yield protection or tax gross-up for which no claim has been made) shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless
cash collateralized or backstopped in a manner acceptable to the Issuing Bank) and all Secured Swap Agreements secured hereby and the Credit Agreement and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of
the Credit Agreement, no Secured Obligations may be outstanding. 
 (e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of
the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or
proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations), remain
liable for the Secured Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Secured Obligations (other than amounts in respect of indemnification, expense, reimbursement, yield protection or tax gross-up for which no claim
has been made) are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless cash collateralized or backstopped in a manner acceptable to the Issuing Bank), and all Secured Swap Agreements secured hereby and the Credit Agreement and the

 Section 3.01 Grant of Security Interest. Each Grantor hereby pledges, assigns, transfers and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security
interest in all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest and whether now existing or hereafter coming
into existence (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations:

 (3) all Commercial Tort Claims; 
 (4) all Deposit Accounts other than payroll,
withholding tax and other fiduciary Deposit Accounts; 
 (5) all Documents; 

(6) all General Intangibles (including, without limitation, rights in and under any Swap Agreements); 

(7) all Goods (including, without limitation, all Inventory and all Equipment, but excluding all Fixtures);

 5 







 (14) to the extent not otherwise included, any other property insofar as it consists of
personal property of any kind or character defined in and subject to the Texas UCC; and 
 (15) to the extent not otherwise
included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security, guarantees and other Supporting Obligations given with respect to any of the foregoing. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (1) through (15) above, the Collateral will not include any
Excluded Property. 
 Section 3.02 Transfer of Pledged Securities. All certificates and instruments representing or
evidencing the Pledged Securities shall be delivered to and held pursuant hereto by the Administrative Agent or a Person designated by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an instrument or certificate in registered form, shall be duly
indorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank by an effective indorsement (whether on the certificate or instrument or on a separate writing), and accompanied by any required transfer tax stamps to effect the pledge of the Pledged Securities to
the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, all Pledged Securities must be delivered or transferred in such manner, and each Grantor shall take all such further action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent,
as to permit the Administrative Agent to be a “protected purchaser” to the extent of its security interest as provided in Section 8.303 of the Texas UCC (if the Administrative Agent otherwise qualifies as a protected purchaser).

 Section 3.03 Grantors Remain Liable under Accounts, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance
with the terms of any agreement giving rise to each such Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account, Chattel Paper or Payment
Intangible (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any such other Secured Party of any payment relating to such Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible,
pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible (or any agreement giving
rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible (or any
agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 

Section 3.04 Pledged Securities. The granting of the foregoing security interest does not make the Administrative Agent or
any Secured Party a successor to Grantor as a partner or member in any Issuer that is a partnership, limited partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party, nor any of their
respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to have become a partner or member in any Issuer, as applicable, by accepting this Agreement or exercising any right granted herein unless


  
 6 







 
and until such time, if any, when any such Person expressly becomes a partner or member in any Issuer, as applicable, and complies with any applicable transfer provisions set forth in the charter
or organizational documents relating to an applicable Pledged Security after a foreclosure thereon. 
 ARTICLE IV

rights against any Grantor and without notice to or further assent by any Grantor, (A) any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative
Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Secured Obligations continued; (B) the Secured Obligations, the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with
respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by, or any indulgence or forbearance in respect thereof granted by, the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party; (C) the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Secured Swap Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in
whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, the Majority Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time; (D) any Grantor or any other Person may from time to time accept or enter
into new or additional agreements, security documents, guarantees or other instruments in addition to, in exchange for or relative to, any Loan Document or Secured Swap Agreement, all or any part of the Secured Obligations or any Collateral now or
in the future serving as security for the Secured Obligations; (E) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be
sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released; and (F) any other event shall occur which constitutes a defense or release of sureties generally; and 

  
 7 







 (ii) without regard to, and each Grantor hereby expressly waives to the
fullest extent permitted by law any defense now or in the future arising by reason of, (A) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Swap Agreement, any of the Secured
Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (B) any defense, set-off or counterclaim
(other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Grantor or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (C) the insolvency, bankruptcy arrangement,
reorganization, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of any Grantor or any other Person at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Secured Obligations or the failure of the Administrative Agent
or any other Secured Party to file or enforce a claim in bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person; or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of the any Grantor, or any changes in the shareholders of any Grantor;
(D) the fact that any Collateral or Lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Secured Obligations shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or
subordinate to any other Lien, it being recognized and agreed by each of the Grantors that it is not entering into this Agreement in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectability or value of any of
the Collateral for the Secured Obligations; (E) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to marshal assets in favor of any Grantor or any other Person, to exhaust any collateral for all or any part of the Secured
Obligations, to pursue or exhaust any right, remedy, power or privilege it may have against any Grantor or any other Person or to take any action whatsoever to mitigate or reduce any Grantor’s liability under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; (F) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation
in proportion to the principal obligation; (G) the possibility that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the aggregate liability of such Grantor under this Agreement; or (H) any other circumstance or act
whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Grantor), which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge or defense of the Borrower for the Secured Obligations, or of such Grantor under the
guarantee contained in Article II or with respect to the collateral security provided by such Grantor herein, or which might be available to a surety or guarantor, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. 

(b) Each Grantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law: (i) except as expressly provided otherwise in any Loan
Document, all notices to such Grantor, or to any other Person, including but not limited to, notices of the acceptance of this Agreement, the guarantee contained in Article II or the provision of collateral security provided herein, or the creation,
renewal, extension, modification, accrual of any Secured Obligations, or notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in Article II or upon the collateral security provided
herein, or of default in the payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations owed to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and enforcement of any right or remedy with respect thereto; or notice of any other matters relating
thereto; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in Article II and the collateral security
provided herein 

  
 8 







 
and no notice of creation of the Secured Obligations or any extension of credit already or hereafter contracted by or extended to the Borrower need be given to any Grantor; and all dealings
between the Borrower and any of the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee
contained in Article II and on the collateral security provided herein; (ii) diligence and demand of payment, presentment, protest, dishonor and notice of dishonor; (iii) any statute of limitations affecting any Grantor’s liability
hereunder or the enforcement thereof; (iv) all rights of revocation with respect to the Secured Obligations, the guarantee contained in Article II and the provision of collateral security herein; and (v) all principles or provisions of law
which conflict with the terms of this Agreement and which can, as a matter of law, be waived. 
 (c) When making
any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, join or make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue or
exhaust such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security
or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability
hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the
Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in Article II or any property subject thereto. 
 Section 4.02 No
Subrogation, Contribution or Reimbursement. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Grantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Grantor by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, no Grantor shall be entitled to
be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Grantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Grantor seek or be entitled to seek any indemnity, exoneration, participation, contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of payments made by such
Grantor hereunder, and each Grantor hereby expressly agrees not to exercise any all such rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity and contribution until all Secured Obligations then due shall have been paid. The Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, may use, sell or dispose of any item of Collateral or security as it sees fit without regard to any subrogation rights any Grantor may have, and upon any disposition or sale, any rights of subrogation any Grantor may
have shall terminate.

 ARTICLE V 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the
other Secured Parties to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder and to induce the Lenders and Affiliates of the Lenders to enter into Secured Swap
Agreements, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party that: 

Section 5.01 Representations in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, the representations and warranties set forth
in Article VII of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor (in its capacity as a Subsidiary of the Borrower) or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party are true and correct in all material respects, provided that each
reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 5.01, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge. 

Section 5.02 Benefit to the Guarantor. The Borrower is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes each
Guarantor, and the Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses. Each Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower and its guaranty and surety obligations pursuant to this Agreement reasonably may be expected to benefit, directly or
indirectly, it; and it has determined that this Agreement is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of such Guarantor and the Borrower. 

Section 5.03 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon
completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in completed and duly executed form) will
constitute valid perfected security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent in all of the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code or by possession, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and
(b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Excepted Liens which have priority by operation of law. 
 Section 5.04 Prior Names, Addresses, Locations of Tangible Assets. Schedule 4 correctly sets forth (a) all names that such Grantor has used in the last five years and (b) the chief
executive office of such Grantor over the last five years. 
 Section 5.05 Pledged Securities. The shares (or such
other interests) of Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares (or such other interests) of all classes of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Issuer owned by such Grantor.
All the shares (or such other interests) of the Pledged Securities have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; and such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good title to, the Pledged Securities pledged
by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens except Excepted Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement. 

  
 10 








 Section 5.06 Instruments and Chattel Paper. Such Grantor has delivered to the
Administrative Agent all Collateral constituting Instruments and Chattel Paper having a value in excess of $500,000. No Collateral constituting Chattel Paper or Instruments contains any statement therein to the effect that such Collateral has been
assigned to an identified party other than the Administrative Agent, and the grant of a security interest in such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent hereunder does not violate the rights of any other Person as a secured party.

 ARTICLE VI 
 COVENANTS 
 Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent
and the other Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Secured Obligations (other than amounts in respect of indemnification, expense, reimbursement, yield protection or tax gross-up for which no claim has been made)
shall have been paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless cash collateralized or backstopped) and the Commitments shall have terminated: 
 Section 6.01 Covenants in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be
taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries. 

Section 6.02 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation. 

(a) Such Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest having at
least the priority described in Section 5.03 and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever except for Liens permitted by Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. 

(b) At any time and from time to time, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party,
and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly give, execute, deliver, indorse, file or record any and all financing statements, continuation statements, amendments, notices (including, without limitation, notifications
to financial institutions and any other Person), contracts, agreements, assignments, certificates, stock powers or other instruments, obtain any and all governmental approvals and consents and take or cause to be taken any and all steps or acts that
may be necessary or advisable or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect, establish the priority of, or to preserve the validity, perfection or priority of, the Liens granted by this Agreement or to enable the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement with respect to such Liens or to otherwise obtain or preserve the full benefits of this Agreement and the rights, powers and
privileges herein granted. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall be required to perfect the
security interest of the Secured Creditors in any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodities Accounts unless (i) an Event of Default exists and (ii) the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower that it elects to have its
security interest in such assets perfected. 

  
 11 








 Section 6.03 Pledged Securities. 

(a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate or other instrument
(including, without limitation, any certificate or instrument representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate or instrument issued in connection with any
reorganization), option or rights in respect of the capital stock or other equity interests of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares (or such other interests) of the Pledged
Securities, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and deliver the
same forthwith to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power or other equivalent instrument of transfer acceptable to the
Administrative Agent covering such certificate or instrument duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Administrative Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as
additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations. 
 (b) Without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, such Grantor will not (i) unless otherwise permitted hereby, vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any stock or other equity interests of any nature or to issue any other securities or
interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity interests of any nature of any Issuer, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to,
the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) except for Liens permitted by Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option
in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or (iv) except as permitted by the Credit Agreement
enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof. 

(c) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this
Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Administrative Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events
described in Section 6.03(a) with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it and (iii) the terms of Section 7.01(c) and Section 7.05 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required
of it pursuant to Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.05 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it. 

(d) Such Grantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such stock powers and other equivalent instruments of transfer
as may be required by the Administrative Agent to assure the transferability of and the perfection of the security interest in the Pledged Securities when and as often as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 12 








 (e) The Pledged Securities will at all times constitute not less than 100%
of the capital stock or other equity interests of the Issuer thereof owned by any Grantor. Each Grantor will not permit any Issuer of any of the Pledged Securities to issue any new shares (or other interests) of any class of capital stock or other
equity interests of such Issuer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent unless immediately upon issuance the same are pledged and, if applicable, delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof to the extent
necessary to give Administrative Agent a first priority security interest after such issue in at least the same percentage of such Issuer’s outstanding shares or other interests as Grantor had before such issue. 

Section 6.04 Commercial Tort Claims. If such Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim that satisfies
the requirements of the following sentence, such Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days after such Commercial Tort Claim satisfies such requirements, notify the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in a writing signed by such
Grantor containing a brief description thereof, and granting to the Administrative Agent in such writing (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) 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 and the other Secured Parties. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply only to a Commercial Tort Claim that satisfies the following
requirements: (a) the monetary value claimed by or payable to the relevant Grantor in connection with such Commercial Tort Claim shall exceed $1,000,000, and either (b) (i) such Grantor shall have filed a law suit or counterclaim or
otherwise commenced legal proceedings (including, without limitation, arbitration proceedings) against the Person against whom such Commercial Tort Claim is made, or (ii) such Grantor and the Person against whom such Commercial Tort Claim is
asserted shall have entered into a settlement agreement with respect to such Commercial Tort Claim. In addition, to the extent that the existence of any Commercial Tort Claim held or acquired by any Grantor is disclosed by such Grantor in any public
filing with the Securities Exchange Commission or any successor thereto or analogous Governmental Authority, or to the extent that the existence of any such Commercial Tort Claim is disclosed in any press release issued by any Grantor, then, upon
the request of the Administrative Agent, the relevant Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days after such request is made, transmit to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties a writing signed by such Grantor containing a brief
description of such Commercial Tort Claim and granting to the Administrative Agent in such writing (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such

 ARTICLE VII 
 REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 
 Section 7.01 Pledged Securities.

 (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have
given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 7.01(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Securities,
to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Securities. 
 (b) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) delivery of written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, with a copy to the issuer of Equity
Interests owned by any Grantor, directing the Grantors to refrain from voting those Equity Interests, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the
Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent
or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders (or other equivalent body) of the relevant
Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without
limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the
exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee,
depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent
shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 
 (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder (and each Issuer party hereto hereby agrees) to (i) comply with any
instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further
instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities
directly to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, if the Issuer of any Pledged Securities is the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, custodianship or other proceedings under the supervision of any Governmental Authority, then all rights of the Grantor in respect thereof to
exercise the voting and other consensual rights which such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by such Issuer shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such voting or other consensual rights and shall not be responsible for
any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 

  
 14 








 Section 7.02 Collections on Accounts, Etc. The Administrative Agent hereby
authorizes each Grantor to collect upon the Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles, and the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify the Account Debtors that the applicable Accounts, Chattel Paper and Payment
Intangibles have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent. During the existence of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may in its own name or in the name of others communicate with the Account Debtors to verify with them to its satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangibles. 

Section 7.03 Proceeds. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, any payments of Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles, when collected or received by each Grantor, and any other cash or non-cash Proceeds received by each Grantor upon the sale or other disposition of any
Collateral, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in a special collateral account maintained by
the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties only, as hereinafter provided, and, until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of any such Grantor. Each deposit of any such Proceeds shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in
the deposit. All Proceeds (including, without limitation, Proceeds constituting collections of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments) while held by the Administrative Agent (or by any Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by each Grantor and
the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent shall apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in said special
collateral account on account of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and any part of such funds which the Administrative Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the
Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Administrative Agent to each Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. 

  
 15 








 Section 7.04 Texas UCC and Other Remedies. 

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may
exercise in its discretion, in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges granted to them in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Secured Swap Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of a secured party under the Texas UCC (whether the Texas UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, remedies, powers or privileges are asserted) or any
other applicable law or otherwise available at law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind
(except any notice required by law) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize
upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more
parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem
best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere. Any such sale or transfer by the Administrative Agent either to itself or to any other Person shall be absolutely free from any claim of right by Grantor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which
Grantor has or may have under any rule of law, regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. Upon any such sale or transfer, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser or transferee
thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 7.04, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection
therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent
of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9.615 of the Texas UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 
 (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent elects not to sell the Collateral, the Administrative Agent retains its rights to dispose of or utilize the Collateral or any part or parts thereof in any
manner authorized or permitted by law or in equity, and to apply the proceeds of the same towards payment of the Secured Obligations. Each and every method of disposition of the Collateral described in this Agreement shall constitute disposition in
a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent may appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale or transfer of the Collateral. 

  
 16 








 Section 7.05 Private Sales of Pledged Securities. Each Grantor recognizes that
the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort
to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.
Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for
public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may reasonably
be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section 7.05 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Governmental Requirements, but no Grantor will be
required to register any of the Pledged Securities under the Securities Act. 
 Section 7.06 Waiver; Deficiency. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under the Texas UCC or any other applicable law. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds
of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the documented fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

 Section 7.07 Non-Judicial Enforcement. The Administrative Agent may enforce its rights hereunder without prior
judicial process or judicial hearing, and to the extent permitted by law, each Grantor expressly waives any and all legal rights which might otherwise require the Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Section 8.01 Administrative Agent’s
Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. 
 (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in
its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all reasonably appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of
the following: 
 (i) unless being disputed under Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement, pay or discharge
taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; 

  
 17 








 (ii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 7.04
or Section 7.05, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and 
 (iii) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the
Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account, Instrument, General Intangible, Chattel Paper or
Payment Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral, and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any
and all such moneys due under any Account, Instrument or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (C) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other
amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (D) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (E) receive, change the address for delivery, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor, and to execute, assign and indorse negotiable and other
instruments for the payment of money, documents of title or other evidences of payment, shipment or storage for any form of Collateral on behalf of and in the name of any Grantor; (F) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at
law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (G) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with
respect to any Collateral; (H) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (I) generally, sell,
transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative
Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and
the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. 
 Anything in this Section 8.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this
Section 8.01(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

  
 18 








 (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements
contained herein within the applicable grace periods, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 

(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this
Section 8.01, together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

 (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue and
in compliance hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 

Section 8.02 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping
and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9.207 of the Texas UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account and shall
be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which comparable secured parties accord comparable collateral.
Neither the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall
be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their
officers, directors, employees or agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, NOTWITHSTANDING THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER
WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, WHETHER AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT OR AN OMISSION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL TYPES OF NEGLIGENT CONDUCT IDENTIFIED IN THE RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF TORTS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES OR BY REASON OF STRICT
LIABILITY IMPOSED WITHOUT FAULT ON ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES; PROVIDED THAT SUCH EXCULPATION SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES RESULT FROM THE
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for
performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Secured 

  
 19 








 
Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against any Grantor or other Person or ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities,
tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Each Grantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right of marshaling in respect of any and all Collateral,
and waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed against any Grantor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party now has
or may hereafter have against each Guarantor, any Grantor or other Person. 
 Section 8.03 Execution of Financing
Statements. Pursuant to the Texas UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, continuation
statements, amendments thereto and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate
to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Additionally, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file or record such
financing statements that describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the Grantor”, “all personal property of the Grantor” or words of similar effect. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. 
 Section 8.04 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken
by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 SUBORDINATION OF INDEBTEDNESS 
 Section 9.01 Subordination of All
Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” means all debts and obligations of the Borrower or any other Grantor to any Grantor (other than the Borrower), whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter
incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open
account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by. After
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Grantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any obligor in respect thereof any amount upon the Guarantor Claims. 

  
 20 








 Section 9.02 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceedings involving any Grantor, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their
rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Should any Agent or Secured Party receive, for application upon the Secured
Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Grantor, and which, as between such Grantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations then due, the intended
recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the
liquidation of the Secured Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Secured Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties had not received dividends or
payments upon the Guarantor Claims. 
 Section 9.03 Payments Held in Trust. In the event that notwithstanding
Section 9.01 and Section 9.02, any Grantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which is prohibited by such Sections, then it agrees: (a) to hold in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured
Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and (b) that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and each Grantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.04 Liens Subordinate. Each Grantor agrees that, until the Secured Obligations then due are paid in full and the Commitments terminated, any Liens securing payment of the Guarantor
Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Secured Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party presently exist or
are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Grantor, during the period in which any of the Secured Obligations (other than amounts in respect of indemnification, expense reimbursement, yield
protection or tax gross-up for which no claim has been made) are outstanding or the Commitments are in effect, shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Guarantor Claims, or
(b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s
relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien held by it. 
 Section 9.05 Notation of Records. Upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, all promissory notes and all accounts receivable ledgers or other evidence of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or held by any Grantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness
evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 21 








 ARTICLE X 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 10.01 Waiver. No failure on the part of
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power or privilege 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 under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. The exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies herein shall not be construed
as a waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies, including, without limitation, any rights of set-off. 

Section 10.02 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be given in the manner and subject to
the terms of Section 12.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1. 

Section 10.03 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 12.04 of the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 10.04 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that except as set
forth in Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 

Section 10.05 Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any of the
Loan Documents to which a Grantor is a party shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or such other Loan
Document. 
 Section 10.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other
electronic means (such as a PDF) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.07 Survival. To the extent that any payments on the Secured Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the
Secured 

  
 22 








 
Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ Liens, security
interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Security Instrument shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Security Instrument shall be automatically reinstated and each Grantor shall take such action as
may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to effect such reinstatement. 

Section 10.08 Captions. Captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and
are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.09 No Oral
Agreements. The Loan Documents (other than the Letters of Credit) embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties and supersede all other agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof
and thereof. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES. 
 Section 10.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Texas. 

(B) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH A GRANTOR

PERMITTED BY LAW) IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE GRANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. THIS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION
IS NON-EXCLUSIVE AND DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER FROM OBTAINING JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GRANTOR IN ANY COURT OTHERWISE HAVING JURISDICTION. 

(c) EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE GRANTORS IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF
ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR 

  
 23 








 
CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PERSON AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED ON SCHEDULE 1 OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE THIRTY
(30) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY HOLDER OF A NOTE OR GRANTOR TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE
PROCEED AGAINST SUCH GRANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 (D) EACH GRANTOR AND EACH LENDER HEREBY
(I) IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN; (II) IRREVOCABLY
WAIVE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES;
(III) CERTIFY THAT NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OR COUNSEL FOR ANY PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, OR IMPLIED THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS,
AND (IV) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

 Section 10.11 Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that: 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party; 
 (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party has any
fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured
Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c)
no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Lenders. 

(d) Each of the parties hereto specifically agrees that it has a duty to read this Agreement and the Security Instruments
and agrees that it is charged with notice and knowledge of the terms of this Agreement and the Security Instruments; that it has in fact read this Agreement and is fully informed and has full notice and knowledge of the terms, conditions and


  
 24 








 
effects of this Agreement; that it has been represented by independent legal counsel of its choice throughout the negotiations preceding its execution of this Agreement and the Security
Instruments; and has received the advice of its attorney in entering into this Agreement and the Security Instruments; and that it recognizes that certain of the terms of this Agreement and the Security Instruments result in one party assuming the
liability inherent in some aspects of the transaction and relieving the other party of its responsibility for such liability. Each party hereto agrees and covenants that it will not contest the validity or enforceability of any exculpatory provision
of this Agreement and the Security Instruments on the basis that the party had no notice or knowledge of such provision or that the provision is not “conspicuous.” 

(e) Each Grantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth in this Agreement are made
voluntarily and unconditionally after consultation with outside legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or
otherwise adversely affect rights which such Grantor otherwise may have against the Borrower, any other Grantor, the Secured Parties or any other Person or against any collateral. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the terms of this
Agreement shall control in any and all circumstances, any such waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under applicable law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

Section 10.12 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.14 of the Credit Agreement and is not a signatory hereto shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto.

 Section 10.13 Set-Off. Each Grantor agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off,
bankers’ lien or counterclaim a Secured Party may otherwise have, each Secured Party shall have the right and be entitled during the continuance of an Event of Default (after consultation with the Administrative Agent), at its option, to offset
(i) balances held by it or by any of its Affiliates for account of any Grantor or any Subsidiary at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, and (ii) amounts due and payable to such Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender)
under any Secured Swap Agreement, against any principal of or interest on any of such Secured Party’s Loans, or any other amount due and payable to such Secured Party hereunder, which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances
are then due to such Person), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Secured Party’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. 

Section 10.14 Releases. 
 (a) Release Upon Payment in Full. The grant of a security interest hereunder and all of rights, powers and remedies in connection herewith shall remain in full force and effect until the
termination of this Agreement, at which time the Administrative Agent shall (i) retransfer and deliver all Collateral in its possession to the Grantors, and (ii) execute a written release or termination statement and reassigned to the
Grantors without recourse or warranty any remaining Collateral and all rights conveyed hereby. Upon the complete payment of the Secured 

  
 25 








 
Obligations (other than amounts in respect of indemnification, expense, reimbursement, yield protection or tax gross-up for which no claim has been made), the termination of the Letters of Credit
(unless cash collateralized or backstopped), Secured Swap Agreements, Credit Agreement and the Commitments and the compliance by the Grantors with all covenants and agreements hereof, the Administrative Agent, at the written request and expense of
the Borrower, will promptly release, reassign and transfer the Collateral to the Grantors and declare this Agreement to be terminated and of no further force or effect. 

(b) Further Assurances. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor
in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable
for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral and the capital stock of such Grantor. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the capital stock
of such Grantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the
proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification
by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (c) Retention in Satisfaction. Except as may be expressly applicable pursuant to Section 9.620 of the Texas UCC, no action taken or omission to act by the Administrative Agent or the other
Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, any exercise of voting or consensual rights or any other action taken or inaction, shall be deemed to constitute a retention of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or
otherwise to be in full satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, and the Secured Obligations shall remain in full force and effect, until the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have applied payments (including, without
limitation, collections from Collateral) towards the Secured Obligations in the full amount then outstanding or until such subsequent time as is provided in Section 10.14(a). 

Section 10.15 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement (including, without limitation, with
respect to the guarantee contained in Article II and the provision of collateral herein) shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Grantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Grantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

Section 10.16 Acceptance. Each Grantor hereby expressly waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, acceptance on the part
of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties being conclusively presumed by their request for this Agreement and delivery of the same to the Administrative Agent.
