Section 3.    Guarantee. 

3.01    The Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally
guarantee to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Guaranteed
Obligations. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated or extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the
Subsidiary Guarantors will jointly and severally pay the same without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full
when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
 
3.02    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 3.01 are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the other Debt Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or
security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
guarantor (other than the satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), it being the intent of this Section 3 that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and
unconditional as described above: 
 (a)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to the
Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 

  
 26 

 (b)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the other Debt Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted; 

(c)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement, the other Debt Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; 

(d)    the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Obligor; or 

(e)    any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected. 
 The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
protest and all notices whatsoever (except as expressly required by this Agreement or any other Debt Document), and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement, the
other Debt Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

3.03    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this
Section 3 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and other charges of counsel (but excluding the allocated costs of internal
counsel)) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or
similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 

  
 27 

 3.04    Subrogation. The
Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent expense reimbursement or indemnification obligations), and the expiration and
termination of all commitments to extend credit under all Debt Documents, they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 3.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against
the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates to the Guaranteed Obligations its exercise of any right or remedy it has
against any other Obligor in regards to or arising under any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations, whether direct, indirect, primary, secondary, several, joint and several or otherwise and irrespective of whether such debts, liabilities
and obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, book entry or otherwise, owing to such Subsidiary Guarantor by any other Obligor. 

3.05    Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as
between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Secured Parties, a Guaranteed Obligation may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the respective Debt Document therefor including, in the case of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the
provisions specifying the existence of an event of default (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided therein including, in the case of the Revolving Credit Agreement, such provisions) for
purposes of Section 3.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantors and that, in
the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for
purposes of Section 3.01. 
 3.06    Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in
this Section 3 is a continuing guarantee of payment (and not of collection), and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 

3.07    Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 3 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Secured Party, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of
any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion action under New York CPLR Section 
3213. 
 3.08    Rights of Contribution. The Obligors hereby agree, as between
themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, then each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of
such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined 

  
 28 

 
below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such
Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 3.08 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 3 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations. 

For purposes of this Section 3.08, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a
Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in
excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of
all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock or other equity interest of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent,
subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the
amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of the Borrower and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities,
but excluding the obligations of the Obligors hereunder) of the Borrower and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and
(B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. 

3.09    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding
involving any state corporate or other law, or any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 3.01 would
otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 3.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 3.01,
then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest
amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. 
 
3.10    Indemnity by Borrower. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.04), the Borrower agrees that
(a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such 

  
 29 

 
Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of
such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part the Guaranteed Obligations, the Borrower shall indemnify such
Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold. 
 
3.11    Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other
Obligor to honor all of its obligations under the guarantee contained in this Section 3 in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 3.11 for the maximum amount
of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 3.11, or otherwise under the guarantee contained in this Section 3, as it relates to such other Obligor, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 3.11 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Secured
Obligations (other than in respect of any continent expense reimbursement or indemnification obligations). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 3.11 constitute, and this Section 3.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a
“keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Obligor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

3.12    Separate Exercise of Remedies. Collateral Agent (on behalf of Secured
Parties) may exercise remedies against the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor and its property separately, whether or not Collateral Agent exercises remedies against the other Obligors or any of its or their respective property. Collateral Agent may
enforce one or more Borrower’s or Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations without enforcing the obligations of the other Obligors’ obligations and vice versa. Any failure or inability of Collateral Agent to enforce one or more
Borrower’s or Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations will not in any way limit Collateral Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of any other Obligor. If Collateral Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more
Security Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy will reduce the balance of the Secured Obligations only to the extent of the cash proceeds that are irrevocably and actually realized and received by the Secured Parties from such
foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, Collateral Agent’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Secured Obligations secured by such Security Documents under the applicable state
Law. 
 Section 4.    Collateral. As collateral security for the payment in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of its Secured Obligations, each Obligor hereby pledges and grants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as hereinafter provided a security interest in
all of such Obligor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following property and assets, 

  
 30 

 
in each case whether tangible or intangible, wherever located, and whether now owned by such Obligor or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (all of the
property described in this Section 4 being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”): 

(a)    all Accounts, all Chattel Paper, all Deposit Accounts, all Documents, all General Intangibles
(including all Intellectual Property), all Instruments (including all Promissory Notes), all Portfolio Investments, all Pledged Debt, all Pledged Equity Interests, all Investment Property not covered by the foregoing (including all Securities, all
Securities Accounts and all Security Entitlements with respect thereto and Financial Assets carried therein, all Commodity Accounts and Commodity Contracts, and, for the avoidance of doubt, all of such Obligor’s interest in the limited
liability company or membership interests of each Subsidiary owned by such Obligor, all of such Obligor’s right to participate in the management of the business and affairs of each such issuer or otherwise control each such Subsidiary, and all
of such Obligor’s rights as a member of each such Subsidiary), all letters of credit and Letter-of-Credit Rights, all Money and all Goods (including Inventory and
Equipment), and all Commercial Tort Claims; 
 (b)    to the extent related to any Collateral, all
Supporting Obligations; 
 (c)    to the extent related to any of the foregoing Collateral, all books,
correspondence, credit files, records, invoices and other papers (including all tapes, cards, computer runs and other papers and documents in the possession or under the control of such Obligor or any computer bureau or service company from time to
time acting for such Obligor); and 
 (d)    all Proceeds of any of the foregoing Collateral. 

IT BEING UNDERSTOOD, HOWEVER, that (A) in no event shall the security interest granted under this Section 4 attach to (1) any contract,
property rights, obligation, instrument or agreement to which an Obligor is a party (or to any of its rights or interests thereunder) if the grant of such security interest would constitute or result in either (i) the abandonment, invalidation
or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of such Obligor therein or (ii) a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such contract, property rights, obligation, instrument or agreement (other than to the
extent that any such terms would be rendered ineffective by Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or
9-409 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction), or (2) any Excluded Assets, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the term
“Collateral” shall not include, and the Obligors shall not be deemed to have granted a security interest in, any Excluded Assets and (B) the Obligors, may by notice to the Collateral Agent, exclude from the grant of a security
interest provided above in this Section 4, any Special Equity Interest designated by the Borrower in reasonable detail to the Collateral Agent in such notice (it being understood that the Borrower may at any later time rescind any such
designation by similar notice to the Collateral Agent). 

  
 31 

 Each Obligor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time (and
reaffirms its authorization given prior to the Restatement Effective Date) to file or record financing statements, continuation statements thereof, amendments thereto and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the
Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain a continuing perfection of the first priority security interests of the Collateral Agent
under this Agreement. Each Obligor also authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property of the debtor” or “all assets of the debtor,” in each case “whether now owned or hereafter
acquired or arising” or words of similar meaning in such financing statements. 

Section 5.    Certain Agreements Among Secured Parties. Neither the Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any rights under this Section 5 and no Secured Party shall have any obligations to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under this Section 5 (for the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the
acknowledgments under Section 5.04). 
 5.01    Priorities; Additional
Collateral. 
 (a)    Pari Passu Status of Obligations. Each Secured Party by acceptance of
the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents agrees that their respective interests in the Security Documents and the Collateral shall rank pari passu and that the Secured Obligations shall be equally and ratably secured by
the Security Documents subject to the terms hereof and the priority of payment established in Section 8.06. 

(b)    Sharing of Guaranties and Liens. Each Secured Party by acceptance of the benefits of this
Agreement and the other Security Documents agrees that (i) such Secured Party will not accept from any Subsidiary of the Borrower any guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations unless such guarantor simultaneously guarantees the payment of
all of the Guaranteed Obligations owed to all Secured Parties, and (ii) such Secured Party will not hold, take, accept or obtain any Lien upon any assets of any Obligor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower to secure the payment and performance of
the Secured Obligations except and to the extent that such Lien is in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or another Security Document to which the Collateral Agent is a party for the benefit of all of the Secured Parties as
provided herein. 
 Anything in this Section 5, or any other provision of this Agreement, to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Agreement shall be inapplicable to any debtor-in-possession financing that may be provided by any Secured Party to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any Federal
or state bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, and no consent or approval of any other Secured Party shall be required as a condition to the provision by any Secured Party of any such financing, and no other Secured Party shall be entitled to share
in any Lien upon any Collateral granted to any Secured Party to secure repayment of such debtor-in-possession financing; provided, that no Secured Party shall be
barred from objecting to any such financing on the basis of adequate protection or any other grounds. 

  
 32 

 5.02    Turnover of Collateral.
If a Secured Party acquires custody, control or possession of any Collateral or the Proceeds therefrom, other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or on account of any payment that is not expressly prohibited hereby, such Secured Party shall
promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) cause such Collateral or Proceeds to be Delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Until such time as such Secured Party shall have complied with the provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence, such Secured Party shall be deemed to hold such Collateral and Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. 

5.03    Cooperation of Secured Parties. Each Secured Party will cooperate with the
Collateral Agent and with each other Secured Party in the enforcement of the Liens upon the Collateral and otherwise in order to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the Security Documents. 

5.04    Limitation upon Certain Independent Actions by Secured Parties. No Secured
Party (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have any right to institute any action or proceeding to enforce any term or provision of the Security Documents or to enforce any of its rights in respect of the Collateral or to exercise any other
remedy pursuant to the Security Documents or at law or in equity, for the purpose of realizing on the Collateral, or by reason of jeopardy of any Collateral, or for the execution of any trust or power hereunder (collectively, the “Specified
Actions”), unless the Required Secured Parties have delivered written instructions to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have failed to act in accordance with such instructions within thirty (30) days thereafter. In
such case but not otherwise, the Required Secured Parties may appoint one Person to act on behalf of the Secured Parties solely to take any of the Specified Actions (the “Appointed Party”), and, upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Appointed Party, the Appointed Party shall be entitled to commence proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction or to take any other Specified Actions as the Collateral Agent might have taken pursuant to this Agreement or the
Security Documents (in accordance with the directions of the Required Secured Parties). All parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that should the Appointed Party act in accordance with this provision, the Appointed Party shall be
delegated the authority to take such Specified Actions (without any further action necessary on the part of any Person), and that such Appointed Party will have all the rights, remedies, benefits and powers as are granted to the Collateral Agent
pursuant hereto or pursuant to any Security Documents with respect to such Specified Actions, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan
Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable to any Person or be responsible for any loss, claim, damage, liability and/or expense arising out of, related to, in connection with, or as a result of any actions taken by such Appointed
Party and in no event shall this provision limit any of the rights, powers, privileges, remedies or benefits of the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents in any respect. 

  
 33 

 5.05    No Challenges. In no
event shall any Secured Party take any action to challenge, contest or dispute the validity, extent, enforceability, or priority of the Collateral Agent’s Liens hereunder or under any other Security Document with respect to any of the
Collateral, or that would have the effect of invalidating any such Lien or support any Person who takes any such action. Each of the Secured Parties agrees that it will not take any action to challenge, contest or dispute the validity,
enforceability or secured status of any other Secured Party’s claims against any Obligor (other than any such claim resulting from a breach of this Agreement by a Secured Party, or any challenge, contest or dispute alleging arithmetical error
in the determination of a claim), or that would have the effect of invalidating any such claim, or support any Person who takes any such action. 

5.06    Rights of Secured Parties as to Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the right of each Secured Party to receive payment of the Secured Obligations held by such Secured Party when due (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise) as expressed in any
instrument evidencing or agreement governing such Secured Obligations, or to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment on or after such due date, and the obligation of the Obligors to pay their respective Secured Obligations when due, shall
not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Secured Party as required in accordance with the Debt Documents to which such Secured Party is a party or its Secured Obligations are bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
each Secured Party agrees that it will not attempt to exercise remedies with respect to any Collateral except as provided in this Agreement or, in the case of the Collateral Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent, law. 

5.07    General Application. This Section 5 shall be applicable both before
and after the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Obligor, including without limitation, the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other
Insolvency Law, and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to the Borrower or any other Obligor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for the Borrower or such other Obligor and the Borrower or such other
Obligor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the Secured Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral
shall continue after the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Obligor on the same basis as prior to the date of such institution. This Section 5 is a “subordination agreement” under section
510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Secured Parties agree that they will not propose, support or vote in favor of any plan of
reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding unless more than two-thirds in amount of allowed claims held by the Secured Parties holding Revolving Credit
Agreement Obligations agree to vote for any such plan.

 Section 6.    Designation of
Designated Indebtedness; Recordkeeping, Etc. 
 6.01    Designation of Other
Indebtedness. With the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, the Borrower may at any time designate as “Designated Indebtedness” hereunder any other Indebtedness intended by the Borrower to be secured by the Collateral,
provided that the incurrence of such Designated Indebtedness has been permitted by the Required Revolving Lenders and satisfies at the time of incurrence thereof the terms and conditions to the incurrence thereof set forth in the Revolving
Credit Agreement and the other provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement or as otherwise required by the Required Revolving Lenders (as long as the Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent expense
reimbursement or indemnification obligations)), such designation to be effected by delivery to the Collateral Agent of a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B or in such other form approved by the Collateral Agent (a “Notice
of Designation”), which notice shall identify such Indebtedness, provide that such Indebtedness be designated as “Designated Indebtedness” hereunder and be accompanied by a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower
delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent, each Financing Agent (if any), each Designated Indebtedness Holder party hereto and the Collateral Agent: 

(a)    certifying that the incurrence of such Indebtedness has been consented to by the Required Revolving
Lenders and that such Indebtedness satisfies the conditions of this Section 6.01 and the Revolving Credit Agreement, and that after giving effect to such designation and the incurrence of such Designated Indebtedness, no Default, Event of
Default or Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing and that both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such designation and the incurrence of such Designated Indebtedness, the Borrower is in compliance with Sections
6.01 and 6.07(a), (b), (d) and (e) of the Revolving Credit Agreement; 
 (b)    attaching (and
certifying as true and complete) copies of the Designated Indebtedness Documents for such Designated Indebtedness (including all schedules and exhibits, and all amendments or supplements, thereto); and 

(c)    identifying the Financing Agent, if any, for such Designated Indebtedness (or, if there is no
Financing Agent for such Designated Indebtedness, identifying each holder of such Designated Indebtedness). 
 No such designation shall be
effective unless and until the Borrower and such Financing Agent (or, if there is no Financing Agent, each such Designated Indebtedness Holder) shall have executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a joinder agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, appropriately completed and duly executed and delivered by each party thereto, pursuant to which such Financing Agent (or, if there is no Financing Agent, each such Designated Indebtedness Holder)
shall have become a party hereto and assumed the obligations of a Financing Agent (or Designated Indebtedness Holder) hereunder, as applicable. 

  
 35 

 6.02    Recordkeeping. The
Collateral Agent will maintain books and records necessary to enable it to determine at any time all transactions under this Agreement which have occurred on or prior to such time. Each Obligor agrees that such books and records maintained in good
faith by the Collateral Agent shall be conclusive as to the matters contained therein absent manifest error. Each Obligor shall have the right to inspect such books and records at any time upon reasonable prior notice. In the event of any conflict
between the books and records maintained by any Secured Party and the books and records of the Collateral Agent in respect of such matters, the books and records of the Collateral Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

Section 7.    Covenants of the Obligors. In furtherance of the grant of the
security interest pursuant to Section 4, each Obligor hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as follows: 

7.01    Delivery and Other Perfection. 

(a)    With respect to any Portfolio Investment or other Collateral as to which physical possession by the Collateral
Agent or the Custodian is required in order for such Portfolio Investment or Collateral to have been “Delivered”, such Obligor shall take such actions as shall be necessary to effect Delivery thereof on or prior to the Original Effective
Date and within ten (10) days after the acquisition thereof by an Obligor with respect to any such Portfolio Investment or Collateral acquired after the Original Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any
instrument, promissory note, agreement, document or certificate held by the Custodian is destroyed or lost not as a result of any action of the Borrower, then (i) in the case of any Investment in Indebtedness other than a Noteless Assigned
Loan, if such destroyed or lost document is an original promissory note registered in the name of an Obligor, the Borrower shall have up to ten (10) days from the date when any Obligor has knowledge of such loss or destruction to
deliver to the Custodian a replacement promissory note and comply with the requirements of paragraph (1)(a) of Schedule 1.01(d) to the Revolving Credit Agreement; and (ii) in the case of any Noteless Assigned Loans, if such destroyed
instrument or document is an original transfer document or instrument relating to such Noteless Assigned Loan, the Borrower shall have up to ten (10) days from the date when any Obligor has knowledge of such loss or destruction to deliver to
the Custodian a replacement instrument or document and comply with the requirements of paragraph (1)(b) of Schedule 1.01(d) to the Revolving Credit Agreement. As to all other Collateral, such Obligor shall cause the same to be Delivered
within three (3) Business Days of the acquisition thereof, provided that Delivery shall not be required with respect to (1) accounts of the type described in clauses (A) – (E) of Section 7.06 to the extent set forth
therein, (2) immaterial assets so long as (x) such assets are not included in the Borrowing Base, (y) the Collateral Agent has a perfected first priority lien (subject to Eligible Liens) on such assets and no other Person exercises
Control over such assets and such assets have not been otherwise “Delivered” to any other Person, and (z) the aggregate value of all such assets collectively described in this Section 7.01(a)(2) does not at any time exceed
$75,000 and (3) Uncertificated Securities so long as (x) such Uncertificated Securities are not included in the Borrowing Base, (y) the Collateral Agent has a perfected first priority lien (subject to Eligible Liens) on such
Uncertificated 

  
 36 

 
Securities and no other Person exercises Control over such Uncertificated Securities and such Uncertificated Securities have not been otherwise “Delivered” to any other Person and
(z) such Uncertificated Securities did not become Uncertificated Securities in contemplation of the Delivery requirements under this Agreement; and provided further that the proviso to clause (h) of the definition of
“Delivery” does not apply to any participation in a loan held by an Obligor pursuant only to a customary participation agreement (it being understood that under no circumstances will participations in a loan be included as an Eligible
Portfolio Investment, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, whether or not such clause (h) has been complied with). In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Obligor shall promptly from time to time give,
execute, deliver, file, record, authorize or obtain all such financing statements, continuation statements, notices, instruments, documents, account control agreements or any other agreements or consents or other papers as may be necessary or as may
be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to create, preserve, perfect, maintain the perfection of or validate the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with
respect to such security interest, and without limiting the foregoing, shall: 
 (i)    keep full and
accurate books and records relating to the Collateral in all material respects and (to the extent reasonably necessary to create, perfect or maintain the priority of any liens granted to the Collateral Agent in such Collateral) stamp or otherwise
mark such books and records in such a manner as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in order to reflect the security interests granted by this Agreement; 

(ii)    permit representatives and advisors of the Collateral Agent, upon reasonable notice, at the sole
expense of the Borrower, at any time during normal business hours, to inspect and make abstracts from its books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and permit representatives and advisors of the Collateral Agent to be present at such
Obligor’s place of business to receive copies of communications and remittances relating to the Collateral, and forward copies of any notices or communications received by such Obligor with respect to the Collateral, all in such manner as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably require; provided that each such Obligor shall be entitled to have its representatives and advisors present during any inspection of its books and records at such Obligor’s place of business and the
Collateral Agent shall not conduct more than two (2) such inspections and visits in any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any subsequent inspections during such calendar year; 

(iii)    take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the liens and
security interest granted hereunder in the Intellectual Property with any Intellectual Property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or in which an application for registration is pending including, without limitation, the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office; and 

  
 37 

 (iv)    at the Collateral Agent’s request, appear
in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Obligor’s title to or the Collateral Agent’s security interest in all or any part of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral. 

(b)    Unless released from the Collateral pursuant to Section 10.03(e) or (f), once any Collateral has been
Delivered, the Obligors shall not take or permit any action that would result in such Collateral no longer being Delivered hereunder and shall promptly from time to time give, execute, deliver, file, record, authorize or obtain all such financing
statements, continuation statements, notices, instruments, documents, account control agreements or any other agreements or consents or other papers as may be necessary or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent to continue the

(x) such Uncertificated Securities are not included in the Borrowing Base, (y) the Collateral Agent has a perfected first priority lien (subject to Eligible Liens) on such Uncertificated Securities and no other Person exercises Control
over such Uncertificated Securities and such Uncertificated Securities have not been otherwise “Delivered” to any other Person and (z) such Uncertificated Securities did not become Uncertificated Securities in contemplation of the
Delivery requirements under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligors shall not terminate any arrangement with the Custodian unless and until a successor Custodian reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
has been appointed and has executed all documentation necessary to continue the Delivered status of the Collateral, which documentation shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. 

7.02    Name; Jurisdiction of Organization, Etc. Each Obligor agrees that
(a) without providing at least twenty (20) days prior written notice to the Collateral Agent (or such shorter period as may be approved by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion), such Obligor will not change its name, its place of
business or, if more than one, chief executive office, or its mailing address or organizational identification number if it has one, (b) if such Obligor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, such Obligor
will forthwith notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number, and (c) such Obligor will not change its type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure unless such change is specifically
permitted hereby or by the Revolving Credit Agreement and such Obligor provides the Collateral Agent with at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such permitted change (or such shorter period as may be approved by the Collateral Agent
in its sole discretion). 
 7.03    Other Liens, Financing Statements or
Control. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.02 of the Revolving Credit Agreement (as long as any of the Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent expense reimbursement or indemnification
obligations)) and the applicable provisions of each other Debt Document, the Obligors shall not (a) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any Collateral, (b) file or suffer to be on file, or

  
 38 

 
authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to any of the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent is not named
as the sole Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or (c) cause or permit any Person other than the Collateral Agent to have NYUCC Control of any Deposit Account, Electronic Chattel Paper, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Right constituting part of the Collateral. 
 
7.04    Transfer of Collateral. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.03 of the Revolving Credit Agreement and the applicable provisions of each other Debt Document, the Obligors shall not sell, transfer,
assign, license or grant an option or otherwise dispose of any Collateral. 

7.05    Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. As contemplated by Section 5.08 of
the Revolving Credit Agreement, new Subsidiaries (other than an SBIC Subsidiary) of the Borrower formed or acquired by the Borrower after the date hereof, existing Subsidiaries of the Borrower that after the date hereof cease to constitute SBIC
Subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and any other Person that otherwise becomes a Subsidiary (other than an SBIC Subsidiary) within the meaning of the definition thereof, are required to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” under
this Agreement, by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a Guarantee Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Accordingly, upon the execution and delivery of any such Guarantee Assumption Agreement by any such
Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall automatically and immediately, and without any further action on the part of any Person, become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and an “Obligor” for all purposes of this Agreement, and Annexes
2.05, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 hereto shall be deemed to be supplemented in the manner specified in such Guarantee Assumption Agreement. In addition, upon execution and delivery of any such Guarantee
Assumption Agreement, the new Subsidiary Guarantor makes the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 as of the date of such Guarantee Assumption Agreement and shall be permitted to update the Annexes with respect to such
Subsidiary.

such payroll account is coded as such, (D) withholding tax and fiduciary accounts or any trust account maintained solely on behalf of a Portfolio Investment, and (E) any account in which the aggregate value of deposits therein, together
with all other such accounts under this clause (E), does not at any time exceed $75,000, provided that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) through (E), no other Person (other than the depository institution at which such
account is maintained) shall have NYUCC Control over such account and such account shall not have been otherwise “Delivered” to any other Person), unless such Obligor has notified the Collateral Agent of such account and the Collateral
Agent has NYUCC Control over such account pursuant to a control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. 

  
 39 

 7.07    Revolving Credit
Agreement . Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to perform, comply with and be bound by the covenants of the Revolving Credit Agreement (as long as any of the Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent

7.08    Pledged Equity Interests. 

(a)    In the event any Obligor acquires rights in any Pledged Equity Interest after the date hereof or any
Excluded Equity Interest held by any Obligor becomes a Pledged Equity Interest after the date hereof because it ceases to constitute an Excluded Equity Interest, such Obligor shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge
Supplement, together with all supplements to Annexes thereto, reflecting such new Pledged Equity Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the security interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all Pledged
Equity Interests immediately upon any Obligor’s acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of any Obligor to deliver a supplement to Annex 2.07 as required hereby; 

(b)    Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Obligor shall vote to enable or take
any other action to: (a) amend or terminate any Organization Documents in any way that materially and adversely changes the rights of such Obligor with respect to any Pledged Equity Interest or that adversely affects the validity, perfection or
priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest or the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to such Pledged Equity Interest, (b) other than as permitted under the
Revolving Credit Agreement and each other Debt Document, permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to dispose of all or a material portion of their assets, or (c) cause any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests which are interests in a
partnership or limited liability company and which are not securities (for purposes of the NYUCC) on the date hereof or the date acquired (if later) to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Equity Interests to be treated as
securities for purposes of the NYUCC; except if such Obligor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any such election or action and, in such event, shall take all steps necessary or advisable in the Collateral Agent’s
reasonable discretion to establish the Collateral Agent’s NYUCC Control thereof; 
 (c)    Each
Obligor consents to the grant by each other Obligor of a security interest in all Pledged Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent and, without limiting the foregoing, consents to the transfer of any Pledged Equity Interest to the Collateral Agent
or its nominee following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a partner in any partnership or as a member in any limited liability company with all the
rights and powers related thereto; 

  
 40

issuer of any uncertificated Pledged Equity Interests hereby agrees that it will, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.09 and the other terms and conditions hereof, comply with all instructions of the Collateral
Agent with respect to such uncertificated Pledged Equity Interests without further consent by the applicable owner or holder of such uncertificated Pledged Equity Interests; and 

(e)    All Pledged Interests that are Equity Interests of Subsidiaries shall at all times be Delivered.

(i)    each Obligor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged
Interests for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any Debt Document; provided, however, that (A) each Obligor will give the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of the
manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the value, liquidity or marketability of any Collateral or the
creation, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s Lien; and (B) none of the Obligors will exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if the Collateral Agent gives an Obligor notice that, in the
Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, such action (or inaction) could reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the value, liquidity or marketability of any Collateral or the creation, perfection and priority of the
Collateral Agent’s Lien or the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to such Pledged Interest; 

(ii)    each of the Obligors may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest or other distributions
paid in respect of the Pledged Interests to the extent permitted by the Debt Documents; provided, however, that (except with respect to any Pledged Interest that is also a Portfolio Investment) any and all (A) dividends and
interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and Instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Interests, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or
payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Interests in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and
(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Interests, together with any dividend, interest or other distribution or payment which at the time of such payment was not permitted by the Debt
Documents, shall constitute Collateral, be 

  
 41 

 
Delivered hereunder and remain subject to the first priority Lien of the Collateral Agent, and, in each case, shall, if received by any of the Obligors, be received in trust for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from the other property or funds of the Obligors, and shall be forthwith Delivered hereunder in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank,
to be and remain subject to the first priority Lien of the Collateral Agent as Pledged Interests and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations; provided that the Obligors shall be permitted to take any action with respect to
cash described in clauses (B) and (C) not prohibited by the other Debt Documents; and 

(iii)    the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to any
Obligor all such proxies and other instruments as such Obligor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Obligor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7.09(a)(i) hereof and to
receive the dividends, interest and/or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7.09(a)(ii) hereof. 

(b)    Automatically upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, and upon the election of the Collateral Agent
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (i)    all rights of each
Obligor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7.09(a)(i) hereof, and to receive the dividends, distributions, interest and other payments that it would otherwise
be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7.09(a)(ii) hereof, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other
consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Interests such dividends, distributions and interest payments; 

(ii)    the Collateral Agent is authorized to notify each debtor with respect to the Pledged Debt or other
Portfolio Investments to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or its designee) and may collect any and all moneys due or to become due to any Obligor in respect of the Pledged Debt or other Portfolio Investments, and each of the Obligors
hereby authorizes each such debtor to make such payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or its designee) without any duty of inquiry; 

(iii)    without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may at its option exercise
any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests or any Portfolio Investments as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, in
its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Interests or any Portfolio Investments upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any issuer thereof, or upon

the exercise by any such issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Interests or any Portfolio Investments, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Pledged Interests or any Portfolio Investments with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and 

(iv)    all dividends, distributions, interest and other payments that are received by any of the Obligors
contrary to the provisions of Section 7.09(b)(i) hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Obligors, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as
Pledged Interests in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Interests and as further collateral security for the Secured
Obligations. 
 7.10    Commercial Tort Claims. Each Obligor agrees that with
respect to any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $100,000 individually hereafter arising it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge Supplement, together with all supplements to Annexes thereto, identifying such new Commercial Tort
Claims. 
 7.11    Intellectual Property. Each Obligor hereby covenants and
agrees as follows: 
 (a)    it shall not do any act or omit to do any act whereby any of the
Intellectual Property which such Obligor determines in its reasonable business judgment is material to the business of such Obligor may lapse, or become abandoned, dedicated to the public, or unenforceable, or which would adversely affect the
validity, grant, or enforceability of the security interest granted therein; 
 (b)    it shall not, with
respect to any Trademarks which such Obligor determines in its reasonable business judgment are material to the business of such Obligor, cease the use of any of such Trademarks or fail to maintain the level of the quality of products sold and
services rendered under any such Trademarks at a level which such Obligor determines in its reasonable business judgment to be appropriate to maintain the value of such Trademarks, and each Obligor shall take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure
that licensees of such Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality; 
 (c)    it shall promptly
notify the Collateral Agent if it knows or has reason to know that any item of the Intellectual Property that in its reasonable business judgment is material to the business of any Obligor may become (a) abandoned or dedicated to the public or
placed in the public domain, (b) invalid or unenforceable, or (c) subject to any material adverse determination or development (including the institution of proceedings) in any action or proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry, any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, or any court, other than in the ordinary course of prosecuting and/or maintaining the applications or registrations of such Intellectual
Property; 

  
 43 

 (d)    it shall take all reasonable steps in the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry or any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, to pursue any application and maintain any registration of each Trademark, Patent, and Copyright owned by any
Obligor that such Obligor determines in its reasonable business judgment is material to its business which is now or shall become included in the Intellectual Property Collateral; 

(e)    in the event that it has knowledge that any Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed
to any Obligor is infringed, misappropriated, or diluted by a third party, such Obligor shall, except as it determines otherwise in its reasonable business judgment, promptly take all reasonable actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation,
or dilution and protect its rights in such Intellectual Property including, but not limited to, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages; 

(f)    it shall promptly (but in no event more than thirty (30) days after any Obligor obtains
knowledge thereof) report to the Collateral Agent (i) the filing by or on behalf of such Obligor of any application to register any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or
any state registry or foreign counterpart of the foregoing and (ii) the registration of any Intellectual Property owned by such Obligor by any such office, in each case by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge
Supplement, together with all supplements to Annexes thereto; 
 (g)    it shall, promptly upon the
reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent any document required to acknowledge, confirm, register, record, or perfect the Collateral Agent’s interest in any part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by or on behalf of such Obligor, including intellectual property security agreements in the form of Exhibit D hereto; 

(h)    it shall hereafter use commercially reasonable efforts so as not to permit the inclusion in any
contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision that could or might in any way materially impair or prevent the creation of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such Obligor’s rights and interests in any property
included within the definitions of any Intellectual Property acquired under such contracts; 
 (i)    it
shall take all steps reasonably necessary to protect the secrecy of all Trade Secrets, including entering into confidentiality agreements with its employees and labeling and restricting access to secret information and documents; and 

  
 44 

 (j)    it shall continue to collect, at its own expense,
all amounts due or to become due to such Obligor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any portion thereof. In connection with such collections, each Obligor may take (and, while an Event of Default exists, at the Collateral
Agent’s reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Obligor or the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, to notify, or require any Obligor to notify, any obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby. 

Section 8.    Acceleration Notice; Remedies; Distribution of Collateral. 

8.01    Notice of Acceleration. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from any Secured Party which (i) expressly refers to this Agreement, (ii) describes an event or condition which has occurred and is continuing and (iii) expressly states that such event or condition constitutes an Acceleration
as defined herein, the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify each other party hereto (other than Obligors) of the receipt and contents thereof (any such notice is referred to herein as a “Acceleration Notice”). 

8.02    Preservation of Rights. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible in
any way for any depreciation in the value of the Collateral nor be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral. 

8.03    Events of Default, Etc. During the period during which an Event of Default
or a Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (a)    each Obligor shall, at the request of
the Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and such Obligor, designated in the Collateral Agent’s request; 

(b)    the Collateral Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect
to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral; 

(c)    the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled
under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining
to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); 

  
 45 

 (d)    the Collateral Agent in its discretion may, in
its name or in the name of any Obligor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; and

 (e)    the Collateral Agent may, upon reasonable prior notice (provided that at least ten
(10) Business Days’ prior notice shall be deemed to be reasonable) to the Obligors of the time and place (or, if such sale is to take place on the NYSE or any other established exchange or market, prior to the time of such sale or other
disposition), with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties or any of their respective agents, sell, assign
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Agent deems appropriate, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale,
without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Obligors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and
released, to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any
public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned. 

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 8.03 shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.06. 

The Obligors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state
securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Obligors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that to the extent any such private sale is conducted by the Collateral Agent in a commercially reasonable manner, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales
and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Obligors, or the issuer thereof, to register it for public sale. 

  
 46 

 8.04    Deficiency. If the
proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 8.03 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall
remain liable for any such deficiency. 
 8.05    Private Sale. The Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 8.03 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Obligor hereby waives any
claims against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or
was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, so long as such private sale was conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner. 
 8.06    Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise
herein expressly provided in this Section 8.06, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and pursuant to the exercise of any remedies under this Section 8, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other
realization of all or any part of the Collateral of any Obligor (including any other cash of any Obligor at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement) shall be applied by the Collateral Agent as follows: 

First, to the payment of out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent and the reasonable and documented
fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith; 

Second, to the payment of any fees and other amounts then owing by such Obligor to (x) the Collateral Agent in its
capacity as such, (y) the Revolving Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and (z) any Financing Agent in its capacity as such (in the case of clauses (x), (y) and (z), ratably based on the aggregate amount of
such fees and other amounts); 
 Third, to the payment of the Secured Obligations of such Obligor then due and
payable, in each case to each Secured Party ratably in accordance with the amount of Secured Obligations then due and payable to such Secured Party (it being understood that, for the purposes hereof, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
under the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed then due and payable whether or not any Acceleration of such loans has occurred); and 

Fourth, after application as provided in clauses “First”, “Second”, and
“Third” above, to the payment to the respective Obligor, or their respective successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining. 

  
 47 

 For the avoidance of doubt, payments made pursuant to Section 2.08(b) of the Revolving
Credit Agreement (or any analogous provisions in any amendment, modification, supplement, amendment and restatement, extension, refinancing or replacement thereof) shall not be subject to this Section 8.06 or to Section 5.02, unless the
Collateral Agent, after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, has directed the actions giving rise to such payments. 
 In
making the allocations required by this Section 8, the Collateral Agent may rely upon its records and information supplied to it pursuant to Section 9.02, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the other Secured Parties
for actions taken in reliance on such information, except to the extent of its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Collateral Agent may, in its sole
discretion, at the time of any application under this Section 8, withhold all or any portion of the proceeds otherwise to be applied to the Secured Obligations as provided above and maintain the same in a segregated cash collateral account in
the name and under the exclusive NYUCC Control of the Collateral Agent, to the extent that it in good faith believes that the information provided to it pursuant to Section 9.02 is either incomplete or inaccurate and that application of the
full amount of such proceeds to the Secured Obligations would be disadvantageous to any Secured Party. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8 shall be final (subject to any decree of any court of competent
jurisdiction), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the other Secured Parties of any amounts distributed to them. 

Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Subsidiary Guarantor or
its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Obligors to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.06. 

8.07    
Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent while no Event of Default or Trigger Event has occurred
and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or Trigger Event, the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact
of each Obligor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and taking of any action and executing any instruments which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish
the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. None of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties shall incur
any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall be entitled under this Section 8 to make collections in respect of
the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Obligor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part
thereof and to give full discharge for the same. Each Obligor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  
 48 

 8.08    Intellectual Property.
For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Trigger Event, to exercise rights and remedies hereunder at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, each Obligor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, if and only to the extent of such Obligor’s rights to grant the same, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use,
assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral (other than any Excluded Assets) now owned or hereafter acquired by such Obligor (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Obligor). Such license
shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written
demand of the Collateral Agent, each Obligor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of any registered Patents, Trademarks (including goodwill) and/or Copyrights and such other documents as are necessary or
appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. 
 Section 9.    The
Collateral Agent. 
 9.01    Appointment; Powers and Immunities. ING is
hereby confirmed and reaffirmed as having been irrevocably appointed to act as the collateral agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents by each Revolving Lender, the Revolving Administrative Agent, each Financing Agent and, by acceptance of
the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, each Designated Indebtedness Holder and in such capacity has been and is authorized to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral
Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than the Borrower’s right to consent to the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent
in accordance with Section 9.08) are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, and no Obligor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is understood that such powers authorize the Collateral Agent to enter into the agreements and the other documents contemplated by Section 5.08 of the Revolving Credit Agreement on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties
hereunder. The Collateral Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 9.06 and the first sentence of Section 9.07 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees
and agents): 
 (a)    shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for, a fiduciary with respect to or subject to any other implied duties with respect to, the Revolving Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender, any Financing Agent or any Designated
Indebtedness Holder regardless of whether a Default or Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing; 

  
 49 

 (b)    shall have no duty to take any discretionary
action or exercise any discretionary powers; 
 (c)    shall not be responsible to the Revolving Lenders,
the Revolving Administrative Agent, the Financing Agents or the Designated Indebtedness Holders for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in or made in connection with this
Agreement or any other Debt Document or in any notice delivered hereunder, or in any other certificate, report or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by it under, this Agreement or any other Debt Document, or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document referred to or provided for herein or therein, or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to
be created by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or for any failure by the Obligors or any other Person to perform or observe any of its obligations hereunder; 

(d)    except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, shall have no duty to disclose
any information relating to any company that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; 

(e)    shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder
except, subject to Section 9.07, for any such litigation or proceedings relating to the enforcement of the guarantee set forth in Section 3, or the Liens created pursuant to Section 4; and 

(f)    shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any
other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment. 
 9.02    Information Regarding Secured Parties. The
Borrower will at such times and from time to time as shall be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent supply a list in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent setting forth the amount of the Secured Obligations held by
each Secured Party (excluding, so long as ING is both the Collateral Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations) as at a date specified in such request. The Collateral Agent shall provide any such list
to any Secured Party upon request. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, such information, and such information shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Agreement,
except to the extent the Collateral Agent shall have been notified by a Secured Party in writing that such information as set forth on any such list is inaccurate or in dispute between such Secured Party and the Borrower. 

  
 50 

 9.03    Reliance by Collateral
Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram, cable or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of
the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by (i) the Required Secured Parties (except as set forth in the following clause (ii)) or (ii) where
expressly permitted in Section 10.03, each of the Required Secured Parties, the Required Revolving Lenders and/or the Required Designated Indebtedness Holders, as applicable (or, in each case, such higher standard provided in the applicable
Loan Document or Designated Indebtedness Document, as applicable), and such instructions of the (i) Required Secured Parties (except as set forth in the following clause (ii)) or (ii) where expressly permitted in Section 10.03, each
of the Required Secured Parties, the Required Revolving Lenders and/or the Required Designated Indebtedness Holders, as applicable (or, in each case, such higher standard provided in the applicable Loan Documents or Designated Indebtedness Document,
as applicable) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Secured Parties. If in one or more instances the Collateral Agent takes any action or assumes any responsibility not specifically delegated to it
pursuant to this Agreement, neither the taking of such action nor the assumption of such responsibility shall be deemed to be an express or implied undertaking on the part of the Collateral Agent that it will take the same or similar action or
assume the same or similar responsibility in any other instance. 
 9.04    Rights
as a Secured Party. With respect to its obligation to extend credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement, ING (and any successor acting as Collateral Agent) in its capacity as a Revolving Lender under the Revolving Credit Agreement shall have
the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Collateral Agent, and the term “Secured Party” or “Secured Parties” shall, unless
the context otherwise indicates, include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. ING (and any successor acting as Collateral Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any other Secured Party) accept deposits from,
lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with 

  
 51 

 
any of the Obligors (and any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Collateral Agent, and ING and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any of the
Obligors for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Secured Parties. 

9.05    Indemnification. Each Revolving Lender, the Revolving Administrative Agent
(but only to the extent the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are not the same Person), each Financing Agent and, by acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, each Designated Indebtedness
Holder, severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and each Related Party of the Collateral Agent (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 10.04, but without limiting
the obligations of the Obligors under Section 10.04) ratably (determined at the time that the applicable indemnity payment is sought) in accordance with the aggregate Secured Obligations held by the Revolving Lenders and the Designated
Indebtedness Holders, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee (including by any other Secured Party) arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of any actual or probable claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, whether based in contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in connection with or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Debt Documents, or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that the Obligors are obligated to pay under Section 10.04, but excluding, unless an Event of Default or a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative
costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee. 

9.06    Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and
Other Secured Parties. The Revolving Administrative Agent and each Financing Agent (and each Revolving Lender and each Designated Indebtedness Holder by acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents) agrees that
it has, independently and without reliance on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and
their Subsidiaries and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in reliance on this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as
it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based on this Agreement and any other Debt Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder to which it is a party. Except as otherwise expressly 

  
 52 

 
provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Obligor of this Agreement, any other Debt Document or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Obligor. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information
relating to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their Affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates, except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to
be furnished to the other Secured Parties by the Collateral Agent hereunder. 

9.07    Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the other Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations
under Section 9.05 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that in the judgment of the
Collateral Agent would violate any applicable law. 
 9.08    Resignation of
Collateral Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the other Secured Parties and the Obligors. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Secured Parties shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default or a Trigger Event has occurred and is
continuing to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Secured Parties and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the other Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent, that shall be a financial institution that has an office in New York, New York and has a
combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent. The Borrower shall pay
to any successor Collateral Agent the reasonable fees and charges necessary to induce such successor Collateral Agent to accept its appointment hereunder, such payment to be made as and when invoiced by the successor Collateral Agent. 

9.09    Agents and
Attorneys-in-Fact. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in
connection herewith and shall not be responsible in any way for such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. 

  
 53 

Section 10.    Miscellaneous. 

10.01    Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other demands hereunder and
other communications provided for herein shall be given or made in writing, (a) to any party hereto, telecopied (to the extent provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement), emailed or delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for
Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages to this Agreement or, in the case of any Financing Agent or Designated Indebtedness Holder that shall become a party hereto after the date hereof, at such “Address for Notices”
as shall be specified pursuant to or in connection with the joinder agreement executed and delivered by such Financing Agent or Designated Indebtedness Holder pursuant to Section 6.01 (provided that notices to any Subsidiary Guarantor
shall be given to such Subsidiary Guarantor care of the Borrower at the address for the Borrower specified herein) or (b) as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. All
notices to any Revolving Lender or Designated Indebtedness Holder that is not a party hereto shall be given to the Revolving Administrative Agent for such Revolving Lender or the Financing Agent for such Designated Indebtedness Holder (or, if there
is no Financing Agent, to each Designated Indebtedness Holder). 
 10.02    No
Waiver. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall
any single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Obligors therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.03, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given. 
 10.03    Amendments to Security Documents.
Except as otherwise provided in any Security Document, the terms of this Agreement and the other Security Documents may be waived, altered, amended or modified only by an agreement or agreements in writing duly executed and entered into by each
Obligor and the Collateral Agent, with the consent of the Required Secured Parties and the Required Revolving Lenders; provided that: 

(a)    no such amendment shall adversely affect the relative rights of any Secured Party as against any
other Secured Party without the prior written consent of such first Secured Party; 
 (b)    without the
prior written consent of each of the Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not release all or substantially all of the collateral under the Security Documents or release all or substantially all of the
Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations 

  
 54 

 
under Section 3 hereof prior to the Termination Date (except that if any amounts have become due and payable in respect of (x) interest on or principal of any Designated Indebtedness
Obligations or (y) Hedging Agreement Obligations, and shall have remained unpaid for thirty (30) or more days, then the prior written consent (voting as a single group) of the holders of a majority in interest of the Designated
Indebtedness Obligations and the Hedging Agreement Obligations, whichever of such obligations are then due and payable, will also be required to release all or substantially all of such collateral or guarantee obligations, whether before or after
the Termination Date); 
 (c)    without the consent of each of the Secured Parties, no modification,
supplement or waiver shall modify the definition of the term “Required Secured Parties” or modify in any other manner the number of percentage of the Secured Parties required to make any determinations or waive any rights under any
Security Document; 
 (d)    without the consent of the Collateral Agent, no modification, supplement or
waiver shall modify the terms of Section 9 or this Section 10.03; 
 (e)    to the extent not
inconsistent with clause (b) above, the Collateral Agent is authorized to release any Collateral that is either the subject of a disposition not prohibited under the Revolving Credit Agreement, or to which the Required Revolving Lenders (or
such higher standard provided in the applicable Loan Document subject to the Revolving Credit Agreement, and the Required Designated Indebtedness Holders (or such higher standard provided in the applicable Designated Indebtedness Document) shall
have consented and will, at the Obligors’ expense, execute and deliver to any Obligor such documents (including any UCC termination statements, lien releases, re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of
security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form)) as such Obligor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest
granted hereby; notwithstanding the foregoing, Portfolio Investments constituting Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, without any action of the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party, in connection with any disposition of Portfolio Investments that (i) occurs in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business and (ii) is not prohibited under any of the Debt Documents; 

(f)    to the extent not inconsistent with clause (b) above, the Collateral Agent is authorized to
release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its guarantee obligations under Section 3 hereof to the extent such Subsidiary is (w) expressly permitted to be released in accordance with Section 9.02(c) of the Revolving Credit
Agreement, (x) the subject of a disposition not prohibited under the Debt Documents, (y) ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction not prohibited under the Debt Documents, or (z) to which each of the Required Secured
Parties, the Required Revolving Lenders and the Required Designated Indebtedness Holders (or, in each case, such higher standard provided in the 

  
 55 

 
applicable Loan Document or Designated Indebtedness Document, as applicable) shall have consented, and, upon such release, the Collateral Agent is authorized to release any collateral security
granted by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the other Security Documents; and 
 (g)    this
Section 10.03 shall be subject to the provisions related to “Defaulting Lenders” in the Revolving Credit Agreement. 
 Any such amendment or
waiver shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent, each Secured Party and each Obligor. In connection with any release of Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall, promptly but in any
event within five (5) Business Days of written request by the Borrower (and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower), (i) execute and deliver termination statements and other releases and instruments (in recordable form if
appropriate) that the Collateral Agent reasonably believes is necessary to effect such release and (ii) otherwise take such actions as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the Termination Date shall have occurred with respect to any Class, then the consent rights of such Class (and the related Required Revolving Lenders or Required Designated Indebtedness Holders)
under this Section 10.03 shall terminate. 
 10.04    Expenses; Indemnity;
Damage Waiver. 
 (a)    Costs and Expenses. The Obligors hereby jointly and severally agree to reimburse the
Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties and their respective Affiliates for all documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by them
(including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel and of any necessary special and/or local counsel for the Collateral Agent (other than the allocated costs of internal counsel)) in connection with
(i) any Event of Default or Trigger Event and any enforcement or collection proceeding resulting therefrom, including all manner of participation in or other involvement with (w) performance by the Collateral Agent of any obligations of
the Obligors in respect of the Collateral that the Obligors have failed or refused to perform in the time period required under this Agreement, (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding up or liquidation proceedings of any
Obligor, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and claims of the Collateral Agent
in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including expenses of insurance, (y) judicial or regulatory proceedings arising from or related to this Agreement and (z) workout, restructuring or other negotiations or proceedings (whether
or not the workout, restructuring or transaction contemplated thereby is consummated) and (ii) the enforcement of this Section 10.04, and all such costs and expenses shall be Secured Obligations entitled to the benefits of the collateral
security provided pursuant to Section 4. 

  
 56 

 (b)    Indemnification by the Obligors. The Obligors shall
indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted
against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (including any investigation or inequity) relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether
brought by the Borrower, any Indemnitee or a third party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood and agreed that indemnification for Taxes (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) is subject to the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Revolving Credit Agreement and analogous provisions, if any, in
Designated Indebtedness Documents. 
 Neither the Borrower nor any Obligor shall be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages (other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party)) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement asserted
by an Indemnitee against the Borrower or any other Obligor; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed to impair or affect the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding provisions of this subsection. 

10.05    Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns of the Obligors and the Secured Parties, except that none of the Obligors shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each of the Collateral Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Financing Agents, if any (or, if there are no such Financing Agents, the Required Designated Indebtedness Holders) (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by any Obligor without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. This Agreement may be
assigned by the Collateral Agent without the consent of any Obligor to any successor Collateral Agent that is appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement or the Guarantee and Security Agreement. 

10.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a)    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute 

  
 57 

 
a single contract. This Agreement, any agreements or documents executed, delivered or filed for the purposes of perfecting the Collateral Agent’s liens in the Collateral and any separate
letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Collateral Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Collateral Agent and when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(b)    Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature” shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act,
or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

10.07    Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Secured Parties in order to carry out the
intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 10.08    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. 

(a)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of
New York. 
 (b)    Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action
or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

  
 58 

 (c)    Waiver of Venue. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.08. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court. 
 (d)    Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement (i) irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01 and (ii) agrees that service as provided in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01 is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over such party in any proceeding
in any court and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

10.09    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.09. 

10.10    Headings. Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

10.11    Termination. When all Secured Obligations of any Class have been
paid in full (other than contingent expense reimbursement or indemnification obligations), and all commitments of the holders thereof to extend credit that would be Secured Obligations have expired or been terminated and any letters of credit
outstanding under the applicable Debt Documents governing such Secured Obligations have (i) expired or (ii) terminated, the Collateral Agent shall, on behalf of the holders of such Secured Obligations, deliver to the Obligors such
termination statements and releases and other documents necessary and appropriate to evidence the termination of all agreements, obligations and liens related to such Secured Obligations as the Obligors may reasonably request, all at the sole cost
and expense of the Obligors; provided however that the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to do so under the circumstances set forth in the parenthetical provision in Section 10.03(b) except to the extent provided therein.

  
 59 

 10.12    Confidentiality. The
Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that Section 9.13 of the Revolving Credit Agreement will bind the Collateral Agent to the same extent as it binds the Revolving Administrative Agent. 

10.13    Amendment and Restatement. The Agreement amends and restates the Existing
Security Agreement. As between the Obligors and the Collateral Agent, all references to the Existing Security Agreement in any Loan Document (other than this Agreement) or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be
deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof. The amendment and restatement contained herein shall not in any manner be construed to constitute payment of, or impair, limit, cancel or extinguish, or constitute a novation in respect
of, any of the obligations and liabilities of any Obligor evidenced by or arising under the Existing Security Agreement, and the liens and security interests securing the obligations and liabilities owed to the Collateral Agent shall not in any
manner be impaired, limited, terminated, waived or released and are deemed continuously perfected.

 EXHIBIT A 

[Form of Agreement Regarding Uncertificated Equity Interests] 

AGREEMENT REGARDING UNCERTIFICATED EQUITY INTERESTS (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of [                    ], 20[    ], among
[                    ] (the “Pledgor”), ING Capital LLC, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties hereinafter referred to
(in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and [                    ], as the
issuer of the Issued Pledged Interests (as defined below) (the “Issuer”). 
 W I T N E
S S E T H : 
 WHEREAS, the Pledgor, certain of its affiliates and the Collateral Agent have entered into
an Amended and Restated Guarantee, Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), under
which, among other things, in order to secure the payment of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) under the Debt Documents (as defined in the Security Agreement), the Pledgor has or will pledge to the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement), and grant a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) in, all of the right, title and
interest of the Pledgor in and to any and all of its Equity Interests (as defined in the Security Agreement), including without limitation any “uncertificated securities” (as defined in
Section 8-102(a)(18) of the UCC, as adopted in the State of New York) (“Uncertificated Securities”), partnership interests, limited liability company interests, uncertificated capital
stock and any other uncertificated ownership interests from time to time issued by the Issuer, whether now existing or hereafter from time to time acquired by the Pledgor (with all of such Uncertificated Securities, partnership Interests, limited
liability company interests, uncertificated capital stock and any other uncertificated ownership interests being herein collectively called the “Issuer Pledged Interests”); and 

WHEREAS, the Pledgor desires the Issuer to enter into this Agreement in order to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent under
the Security Agreement in the Issuer Pledged Interests, to vest in the Collateral Agent control of the Issuer Pledged Interests and to provide for the rights of the parties under this Agreement; 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 1.    The
Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees, following its receipt of a notice from the Collateral Agent stating that the Collateral Agent is exercising exclusive control of the Issuer Pledged
Interests, to comply with any and all instructions and orders originated by the Collateral Agent (and its successors and assigns) regarding any and all of the Issuer Pledged Interests without the further consent by the registered owner (including
the Pledgor), and, following its receipt of a notice from the Collateral 

 
Agent stating that the Collateral Agent is exercising exclusive control of the Issuer Pledged Interests, not to comply with any instructions or orders regarding any or all of the Issuer Pledged
Interests originated by any person or entity other than the Collateral Agent (and its successors and assigns) or a court of competent jurisdiction. 

2.    The Issuer hereby certifies that (i) no notice of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance or claim
affecting the Issuer Pledged Interests (other than the security interest of the Collateral Agent) has been received by it, and (ii) the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Issuer Pledged Interests has been registered in the books
and records of the Issuer. 
 3.    The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that (i) the pledge by the Pledgor
of, and the granting by the Pledgor of a security interest in, the Issuer Pledged Interests to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement), does not violate the charter, by-laws, partnership agreement, membership agreement or any other agreement governing the Issuer or the Issuer Pledged Interests, and (ii) the Issuer Pledged Interests consisting of capital stock of a
corporation are fully paid and non-assessable (if applicable). 

4.    Following its receipt of a notice from the Collateral Agent stating that the Collateral Agent is exercising
exclusive control of the Issuer Pledged Interests and until the Collateral Agent shall have delivered written notice to the Issuer that all of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) under the Loan Documents (as defined in the
Security Agreement) have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated, the Issuer will send any and all redemptions, distributions, interest or other payments in respect of the Issuer Pledged Interests from the Issuer for the account of the
Collateral Agent only by wire transfers to such account as the Collateral Agent shall instruct. 
 5.    This Agreement
shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgor and the Issuer and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall prove to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be severable from the other
provisions of this Agreement which shall remain binding on all parties hereto. None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever except in writing signed by the Collateral Agent,
the Issuer and the Pledgor. 
 6.    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS PARAGRAPH 6. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the Issuer have caused this
Agreement to be executed by their duly elected officers duly authorized as of the date first above written.

 Exhibit 10.1 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO PBF LOGISTICS LP 

2014 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PBF Logistics GP LLC (the “General Partner”), a
Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of PBF Logistics LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), previously approved and adopted the PBF Logistics LP 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Participants are eligible to receive incentive compensation awards based on common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Units”); 

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Plan; 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that there are no longer sufficient Units available for issuance under the Plan to meet the needs for
future grants during the coming years; 
 WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the Plan to increase the number of Units available for
issuance thereunder by 1,500,000 Units to 3,088,655 Units (subject to adjustment under the Plan) so that the Partnership may continue to grant equity incentive compensation awards to Participants under the Plan; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Plan, the Board may amend the Plan, including to increase the number of Units available
for Awards under the Plan; and 
 WHEREAS, the Board approved the increase in the number of Units and this First Amendment to the
Plan (the “First Amendment”) as of April 18, 2019; and 
 WHEREAS, PBF Energy Company LLC, the holder of 54.1%
of the outstanding common units, approved this First Amendment as of April 18, 2019. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the
Plan is hereby amended as follows: 
 1.    Section 4(a) of the Plan is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows: 
 “(a) Limits on Units Deliverable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(d) and Section 7, the
number of Units that may be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan is 3,088,655. Units withheld from an Award or surrendered by a Participant to satisfy tax withholding obligations of any of the Partnership Entities (including the
withholding of Units with respect to Restricted Units) or to satisfy the payment of any exercise price with respect to the Award shall not be considered to be Units delivered under the Plan for this purpose. If any Award is forfeited, cancelled,
exercised, settled in cash, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award (for the avoidance of doubt, the grant of Restricted Units is not a delivery of Units for this purpose, unless and until such
Restricted Units vest and any restrictions placed on them under the Plan or applicable Award Agreement lapse), the Units subject to such Award shall again be available for Awards under the Plan (including Units not delivered in connection with the
exercise of an Option or Unit Appreciation Right). There shall not be any limitation on the number of Awards that may be granted and paid in cash.” 

 2.    This First Amendment shall be effective as of the effective date
that this First Amendment is approved by unitholders of the Partnership holding the requisite Percentage Interest (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of PBF Logistics dated as of February 13, 2019 (the
“Partnership Agreement”)) of Partnership Interests (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the Partnership necessary to take such action. 

3.    Except as expressly provided herein, the Plan remains in full force and effect. 

[REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this First Amendment to the PBF Logistics LP 2014 Long-Term
Incentive Plan to be executed by a duly authorized officer of the Partnership as of this 18th day of April, 2019.
