  ARTICLE II    
    
    Guarantee    
    

        SECTION 2.01.    Guarantee.    (a) Each Guarantor guarantees, jointly and severally, unconditionally and
irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, with the other Guarantors, to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees,
transferees and assigns, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the
Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of
any Obligation. Each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from 

4

 

and
protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. 

        (b)   Anything
herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers or the insolvency of
debtors and (ii) the maximum liability of the Borrower under this Section 2 shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the Borrower under applicable federal and state
laws relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers or the insolvency of debtors. 

        (c)   Each
Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without
impairing the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party hereunder. 

        (d)   The
guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations shall have been satisfied by full and final payment in
cash. 

        (e)   No
payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from
time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Section 2
which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by the Borrower or such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from the Borrower or
such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of the Borrower or such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are fully and finally
paid in cash. 

        SECTION 2.02.    Guarantee of Payment.    Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder
constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for
the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person. 

        SECTION 2.03.    No Limitations.    (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor's obligations hereunder as
expressly provided in Section 7.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim
of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment or performance). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release
from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations or any of them; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or
(v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity
(other than the payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of all the Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the 

5

 

payment
and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of
any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder. 

        (b)   To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or
the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in
cash or immediately available funds of all the Obligations (other than indemnification obligations for which no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted). The Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure,
compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or
any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full in cash or immediately available
funds. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair
or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security. 

        SECTION 2.04.    Reinstatement.    Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any
Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise. 

        SECTION 2.05.    Agreement To Pay; Subrogation.    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any
other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to
be paid, to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent as
provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or
otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article VI. 

        SECTION 2.06.    Information.    Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself
informed of the Borrower's and each other Loan Party's financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and
extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of
information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. 

        SECTION 2.07.    Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.    Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2
or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended,
amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the 

6

 

Borrower
and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or
any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing,
absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any collateral
security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto or the lack of perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations or any part thereof at any time or from time
to time held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be
available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or
knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the
guarantee of such Guarantor
contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any Secured

shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability under this Section 2, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of
law, of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof "demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

        (d)   except
for restrictions and limitations imposed by the Loan Documents or securities laws generally, the Pledged Collateral is and will continue to be freely transferable
and assignable, and none of the Pledged Collateral (other than limited liability company or partnership interests) is or will be subject to any option, right of first refusal, shareholders agreement,

        (g)   by
virtue of the execution and delivery by the Grantors of this Agreement, when any Pledged Securities are delivered either to the Collateral Agent or to First Hawaiian

        SECTION 3.06.    Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest.    (a) Unless and until an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the Grantors that their rights under this Section 3.06 are being suspended: 

          (i)  Each
Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof
for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that such rights and powers
shall not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or
the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same. 

         (ii)  The
Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other
instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to

        (iii)  Each
Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the
Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the
terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or
other distributions that would constitute Pledged Stock or Pledged Debt Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the
issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other
exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with
any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral
Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). 

        (b)   Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of their rights
under this Section 3.06, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of
this Section 3.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such
dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be
held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b)
shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.03. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06 and that remain in such account. 

10

 

        (c)   Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of their rights
under this Section 3.06, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this
Section 3.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 3.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that,
unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to
exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise
be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.

granting
of a security interest therein or the grant of a security interest therein could result in the cancellation, voidance or invalidity of such Intellectual Property, (ii) any contract,
General Intangible, Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License ("Intangible Assets"), in each case to the extent the grant by the relevant
Grantor of a security interest pursuant to this Agreement in such Grantor's right, title and interest in such Intangible Asset (A) is prohibited by legally enforceable provisions of any
contract, agreement, instrument or indenture governing such Intangible Asset,

result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under, any license, contract or agreement evidencing or giving rise to such property (other than to the extent that any such term would be
rendered ineffective pursuant to Section 9-409, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC or any other applicable law (including, without limitation, Title 11 of

applicable Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such provision waived or eliminated (collectively,
"Excluded Assets"). If and when such property shall cease to be Excluded Assets, such property shall be deemed at all times from and after the date
hereof to constitute Article 9 Collateral. 

        (c)   Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements

request. 

        The
Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office) such documents as may be
reasonably necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor,
and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party. 

        (d)   The

        SECTION 4.02.    Representations and Warranties.    The Grantors jointly and severally represent and warrant
to
the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that: 

        (a)   Each
Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and
has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and is in full force and effect. 

        (b)   The
Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal name of each Grantor, is
correct and complete in all material respects as of the Effective Date. The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings,
recordings or registrations prepared by the Collateral Agent based upon the information provided to the Collateral Agent in the Perfection Certificate for filing in each governmental, municipal or
other office specified in Schedule 2 to the Perfection Certificate, are all the filings, recordings and registrations (other than filings that may be required to be made in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, United States
Trademarks and United States Copyrights) that are necessary to publish notice of and protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral
Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States
(or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any
such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. Each Grantor represents and warrants that a fully executed agreement in the form
hereof (or a short form hereof) and containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property with respect to United States Patents and United States registered
Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending and in which a security interest is granted hereunder) and United States registered Copyrights have been
delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable,
to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories
and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect the Security
Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are
pending and in which a security interest is granted hereunder) and United States registered Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or developed after the date
hereof). 

        (c)   The
Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the
Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 4.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by
filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable law in such 

13

 

jurisdictions
and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of this
Agreement (or a short form hereof) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other
Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than Liens expressly permitted to be prior to the Security Interest pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement or arising by
operation of law. 

        (d)   The
Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit
Agreement or arising by operation of law. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any
other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument
covering any Article 9 Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any
Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement
or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit
Agreement. 

        (e)   Jurisdiction
of Organization; Chief Executive Office.    On the date hereof, such Grantor's jurisdiction of organization, identification number from the
jurisdiction of organization (if any), and the location of such Grantor's chief executive office or sole place of business or principal residence, as the case may be, are specified on
Schedule IV. Such Grantor has furnished to the Collateral Agent a certified charter,
certificate of incorporation or other organization document and long-form good standing certificate as of a date which is recent to the date hereof. 

        SECTION 4.03.    Covenants.    Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations shall have been paid in full: 

        (a)   In
the case of each Guarantor, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as
the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries 

        (b)   If
any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper, such
Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly indorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, to be held as Collateral
pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that the Grantors shall not be obligated to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Instruments or Chattel Paper held by any Grantor at any time to the extent that
the aggregate face amount of all such Instruments and Chattel Paper held by all Grantors at such time does not exceed $250,000. 

        (c)   (i)
Such Grantor will maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies, insurance policies (A) insuring the Inventory and Equipment against loss by fire,

liability for personal injury and property damage relating to such Inventory and Equipment, such policies to be in such form and amounts and having such coverage as may be satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders. 

         (ii)  All
such insurance shall (i) in the case of property and liability insurance, name the Collateral Agent as insured party and loss payee, (ii) in the case
of other insurance policies, name 

14

 

the
Collateral Agent as insured party and loss payee, to the extent applicable and permitted pursuant to the terms of such policies and (ii) be in such amounts and against such risks as are
customarily maintained by companies of established repute engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. The Borrower shall forward all notices of cancellation
it receives from an insurer promptly upon receipt. 

        (iii)  The
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance as
the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request. 

        (d)   Such
Grantor will pay and discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all material taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral in accordance with Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement or in respect of income or profits therefrom, as well as all material claims
of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such charge need be paid if the amount or validity
thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Grantor and such
proceedings could not reasonably be expected to result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Collateral or any interest therein. 

        (e)   (i)
Such Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest having at least the priority described in
Section 4.02 and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever in accordance with clause (i) hereof. 

         (ii)  Such
Grantor will furnish to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing
the assets and property of such Grantor and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may request, all in reasonable detail. 

        (iii)  At
any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly
execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full
benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, (i) the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial
Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby and (ii) in the case of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts and
Letter-of-Credit Rights, taking any actions necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain "control" (within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) with
respect thereto. 

        (f)    Each
Grantor will not, except upon prior notice to the Collateral Agent and delivery to the Collateral Agent of all additional expected financing statements and other
documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein, change (i) in name, (ii) in its
identity or type of organization or corporate structure, (iii) in its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number or (iv) in its jurisdiction of
organization. Each Grantor agrees to promptly provide the Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the first sentence of this paragraph. Each
Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for
the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral. Each Grantor agrees
promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Article 9 Collateral owned or held by such Grantor is damaged or destroyed. 

15

 

        (g)   Such
Grantor will advise the Collateral Agent and the Lenders promptly, in reasonable detail, of: 

          (i)  any
Lien (other than security interests created hereby or Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement) on any of the Collateral which would materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder; and 

         (ii)  the
occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security
interests created hereby. 

        (h)   (i)
If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a
distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Equity
Interests of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept
the same as the agent of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and deliver the same forthwith to the Collateral Agent in
the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and
with, if the Collateral Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid
upon or in respect of the Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security
for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Investment Property, or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment
Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a
perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of
money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the
Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Grantors shall not be required to pay over to the Collateral Agent or deliver to the Collateral Agent as Collateral any proceeds of any liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer, or any
distribution of capital or property in respect of any Investment Property, to the extent that (A) such liquidation, dissolution or distribution would be permitted by the Credit Agreement and
(B) the proceeds thereof are applied toward prepayment of Loans to the extent required by the Credit Agreement. 

         (ii)  Without
the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not (A) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any
stock or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity securities of any nature of
any Issuer, unless such securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent, concurrently with the issuance thereof, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral, (B) sell, assign, transfer,
exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement),
(C) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein,
except for the security interests created by this Agreement or (D) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell,
assign or transfer any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof. 

16

 

        (iii)  In
the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (A) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities
issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (B) it will notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events
described in Section 5.8(a) with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it and (C) the terms of Section 5.07 shall apply to it, mutatis
mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 5.07 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it. 

        (iv)  Each
Issuer that is a Grantor and is a partnership or a limited liability company (i) confirms that none of the terms of any equity interest issued by it
provides that such equity interest is a "security" within the meaning of Sections 8-102 and 8-103 of the New York UCC (a
"Security"), (ii) agrees that it will take no action to cause or permit any such equity interest to become a Security, (iii) agrees that
it will not issue any certificate representing any such equity interest and (iv) agrees that if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such equity interest shall be or become a Security, such
Issuer will (and the Grantor that holds such equity interest hereby instructs such Issuer to) comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent by such Grantor. 

        (i)    None
of the Grantors will, without the Collateral Agent's prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, grant any extension of the time of payment of any
Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment
thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, compromises, settlements, releases, credits or discounts granted or made in the ordinary course of business and
consistent with its current practices or in accordance with such prudent and standard practice used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged. Such
Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each material demand, notice or document received by it that disputes the validity or enforceability of more than 10% of the total aggregate
outstanding gross amount of the Accounts held by all Grantors. 

        (j)    Each
Grantor agrees to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate records with respect to the Article 9 Collateral owned by it as is
consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged, and, at
such time or times as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent showing the identity, amount and location of any material Article 9 Collateral. 

        (k)   Upon
the request of the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an updated Perfection Certificate certified by a Financial Officer of the
Borrower reflecting all changes since the date of the Perfection Certificate delivered on the Effective Date or the date of the most recent Perfection Certificate delivered pursuant to this paragraph. 

        (l)    Subject
to the rights of such Grantor under the Loan Documents to dispose of Collateral (including the right to grant in the ordinary course, consistent with past
practices, non-exclusive licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed by, or licensed to, such Grantor), each Grantor shall, at its own expense, use
commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral
and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. 

17

 

 

        (m)  Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions
as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment
of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture
filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory
note or other instrument (other than a check), such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any promissory note or other instrument evidencing an amount not in excess of $250,000
other than any promissory note evidencing intercompany indebtedness. 

        Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by
supplementing Schedule III or adding additional schedules hereto to specifically identify any asset or item that may constitute registered Copyrights, Patents or registered Trademarks, or
applications for the foregoing, and which is material to the conduct of the Grantor's business; provided that any Grantor shall have the right,
exercisable within 30 days after it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral, to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of
the representations and warranties made by such Grantor hereunder with respect to such Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be
necessary in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect to such Collateral within 30 days after the date it has been notified by the
Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral. 

        (n)   The
Collateral Agent and such Persons as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate shall have the right, at the Grantors' own cost and expense, at reasonable times
and upon reasonable prior notice, to inspect the Article 9 Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records) and the premises upon which any of the
Article 9 Collateral is located, to discuss the Grantors' affairs with the officers of the Grantors and their independent accountants and to verify, in accordance with Section 5.08 of
the Credit Agreement, the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or
Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a
verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party. 

        (o)   At
its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or
placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement unless properly contested in good faith pursuant to Section 5.05 of the
Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement,
and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
foregoing authorization; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any
obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests
or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. 

        (p)   Each
Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or
instrument relating to the Article 9 

18

 

Collateral,
all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and
against any and all liability for such performance. 

        (q)   None
of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect
of the Article 9 Collateral, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement. None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral and each Grantor
shall remain at all times in possession of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it, except that unless and until the Collateral Agent shall notify the Grantors that an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and that during the continuance thereof the Grantors shall not sell, convey, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Article 9 Collateral (which notice
may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), the Grantors may use and dispose of the Article 9 Collateral in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

        (r)   The
Grantors, at their own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to the Inventory and Equipment consistent with
its current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard policies used in industries that are the same or similar to those in which the Grantors are engaged and otherwise in accordance
with the requirements set forth in Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents
designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making,
settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the
proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of
the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors
hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent
reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating
thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby. 

        (s)   Each
Grantor shall maintain, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, records of its Chattel Paper and its books, records and documents
evidencing or pertaining thereto. 

        SECTION 4.04.    Other Actions.    In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and
the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor's own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following
Article 9 Collateral: 

        (a)    Instruments.    If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments, such Grantor shall forthwith
endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably
request; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, this sentence shall not apply to any Instrument evidencing an amount not in excess of $250,000,
other than any Instrument issued by the Borrower, Holdings or a subsidiary thereof. 

        (b)    Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records.    If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest
in any electronic chattel paper or any "transferable record," as that term is 

19

 

defined
in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent,
shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control under New York UCC Section 9-105 of such electronic chattel paper or
control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in
effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, this sentence shall not apply to any electronic chattel paper or other "transferable record"
evidencing an amount not in excess of $50,000 on an individual basis or $250,000 on an aggregate basis. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant
to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent's loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the
electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under New York UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global
and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record. 

        (c)    Letter-of-Credit Rights.    If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter
of credit with a face amount in excess of $250,000 now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request and option of
the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either
(i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or
(ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the
letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. 

        (d)    Commercial Tort Claims.    If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim in an
amount reasonably estimated to exceed $250,000, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim and
grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. 

        SECTION 4.05.    Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.    (a) Each Grantor
agrees that, except as otherwise deemed necessary or advisable by such Grantor in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, it will not do any act or knowingly omit to do any act (and will
exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act as omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent owned by such Grantor that is material to the conduct of such
Grantor's business is reasonably expected to become prematurely invalidated, forefeited, unenforceable or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall take commercially reasonable steps with
respect to any products covered by any such Patent as necessary and sufficient to preserve its rights under applicable patent laws. 

        (b)   Each
Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each Trademark owned by such Grantor that is material to the conduct of such
Grantor's business, (i) except as otherwise deemed necessary or advisable by such Grantor in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, maintain such Trademark in full force free from
any abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration or claim of trademark or 

20

 

service
mark as required to establish and preserve its rights under applicable law and (iii) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any third party
rights. 

        (c)   Each
Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a Copyright owned by such Grantor that is material to the conduct of
any Grantor's business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as required to establish and preserve its rights under applicable
copyright laws. 

        (d)   Each
Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright owned by such Grantor that is material to the conduct of its
business is reasonably likely to become imminently abandoned or lost or prematurely dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or
any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any country) regarding such
Grantor's ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same. 

        (e)   In
the event that any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, files an application for any Patent or for the registration of any
Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other
country or any political subdivision thereof, or receives notification that an intent-to-use Trademark application has been approved, such Grantor shall promptly inform the
Collateral Agent, and, upon request of the Collateral Agent, shall execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to
evidence the Collateral Agent's security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to file
such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. 

        (f)    Each
Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States
Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application
relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights which are material to the conduct of any Grantor's business (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent
and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of any Grantor's business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of
incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if such Grantor believes it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings
against third parties. 

        (g)   In
the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of any
Grantor's business has been or is about to be materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall, if such Grantor
believes it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or
dilution, and take such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral. 

        (h)   Each
Grantor owns, licenses or otherwise has the right to use all material Intellectual Property used in the operations of such Grantor's respective business, without
infringement upon or conflict with the rights of any other Person with respect thereto, except, in each case, for any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or threatened. 

21

 

        (i)    Such
Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act, or knowingly omit to do any act, whereby any material trade secret owned by such Grantor may
become publicly available, available to any third party without obligation of confidentiality or otherwise unprotectable. 

        (j)    Each
Grantor takes commercially reasonable steps to maintain and protect its rights in and to Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor that is material to the conduct
of its business. 

        (k)   Upon
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the
licensor under each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such Grantor's right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee. 

 
 

  ARTICLE V    
    
    Remedies    
    

        SECTION 5.01.    Remedies Upon Default.    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following
actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an
assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or
otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall
determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or
without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to the applicable Grantor to enter any premises where the
Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the
mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell, license, sublicense, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems
it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof
the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. 

        SECTION 5.02.    Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent.    If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and Instruments shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from
other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and control.
All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a collateral account (or by such Grantor in trust for the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in
Section 5.03. 

22

 

 

        SECTION 5.03.    Application of Proceeds.    The Collateral Agent shall promptly apply the proceeds of any
collection or sale of Collateral; including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows: 

        FIRST,
to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the payment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any
other Loan Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 

        SECOND,
to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to
them on the date of any such distribution); and 

        THIRD,
to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

The
Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the
Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt by the Collateral Agent or by the officer making the sale of such proceeds shall
be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money
paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 

        SECTION 5.04.    Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property.    For the purpose of enabling the Collateral
Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent a nonexclusive license (which shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement and exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license
or sublicense, provided that the Collateral Agent comply with the terms of any applicable License, solely to the extent necessary to properly exercise its remedies during such Event of Default, any of
the Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and provided that the Collateral Agent comply
with the terms of any applicable License, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and
programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and solely during
the continuation of an Event of Default. 

        SECTION 5.05.    Securities Act.    In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged
Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted
analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the "Federal Securities Laws") with
respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of
the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent
transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part
of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and
limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged 

23

 

Collateral,
limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a
sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach
and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if
such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially
higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 5.05
will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells. 

        SECTION 5.06.    Code and Other Remedies.    If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor
or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do
any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms
and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold,
free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply
the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.06 with respect to any Grantor's Collateral, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in
connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or in any way relating to the Collateral of such Grantor or the rights of the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties hereunder with respect thereto, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of such
Grantor, in the order specified in Section 5.03, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including,
without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable within 

24

 

Section 9-611
of the New York UCC and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 

        Such
notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board
or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at
such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or
portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. 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 sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold shall be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid
by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in
case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may
bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released
to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any
Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any
Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such
sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall
have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the
Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts
having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.06 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. 

        SECTION 5.07.    Registration Rights.    (a) Each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral at a public sale, such Grantor will, at any time and from time to time,
upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to (i) take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or
advisable in the sole opinion of the Collateral Agent or the counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Collateral, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that
portion thereof to be sold, (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto and (iv) comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue
Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent 

25

 

shall
designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of
the Securities Act. Each Grantor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors,
affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including; without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses to the Collateral Agent of legal
counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is
based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is
based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been
caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
expressly for use therein. Each Grantor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of
such Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Collateral under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Collateral Agent and keep
effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Grantor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this
Section 5.07. Each Grantor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.07 and that such failure would not be
adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 5.07 may be specifically enforced. 

        (b)   Each
Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained
in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged
to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any
such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the
Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. 

        (c)   Each
Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the
Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 5.07 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable laws. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in this Section 5.07 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.07 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives
and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement. 

        SECTION 5.08.    Deficiency.    Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale
or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such
deficiency. 

26

 
 
 

  ARTICLE VI    
    
    Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination    
    

        SECTION 6.01.    Indemnity and Subrogation.    In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as
the Subsidiary Loan Parties may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6.03), the Borrower and Holdings, jointly and severally, agree that (a) in the event a payment of an
obligation shall be made by any Subsidiary Loan Party under this Agreement, the Borrower and Holdings, jointly and severally, shall indemnify such Subsidiary Loan Party for the full amount of such
payment and such Subsidiary Loan Party 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 Loan Party shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Borrower and Holdings,
jointly and severally, shall indemnify such Subsidiary Loan Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold. 

        SECTION 6.02.    Contribution and Subrogation.    Each Subsidiary Loan Party (a
"Contributing Party") agrees (subject to Section 6.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Loan Party hereunder in
respect of any Obligation or assets of any other Subsidiary Loan Party shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other Subsidiary
Loan Party (the "Claiming Party") shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower and Holdings as provided in Section 6.01, the
Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in
each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary
Loan Parties on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Loan Party becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.14, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such
Subsidiary Loan Party). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under
Section 6.01 to the extent of such payment. 

        SECTION 6.03.    Subordination.    (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
all rights of the Guarantors and Grantors under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of indemnity,
contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of the Obligations. No failure on
the part of the Borrower, Holdings or any Guarantor or Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 6.01 and 6.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall
in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor and Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of
the obligations of such Guarantor or Grantor hereunder. 

        (b)   Each
Guarantor and Grantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to any other Guarantor, Grantor or any other Subsidiary shall be
fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of the Obligations. 

 
 

  ARTICLE VII    
    
    Miscellaneous    
    

        SECTION 7.01.    Notices.    All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly
permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Loan Party shall be given to it in care
of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. 

27

 

        SECTION 7.02.    Waivers; Amendment.    (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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 any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver
of any Default,
regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

        (b)   Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Collateral Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of
the Credit Agreement. 

        SECTION 7.03.    Collateral Agent's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.    (a) The parties hereto agree
that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. 

        (b)   Without
limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Grantor and each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the
Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and related expenses, including the reasonable 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, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not 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
such Indemnitee's breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents or from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 

        (c)   Any
such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this
Section 7.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor. 

        SECTION 7.04.    Successors and Assigns.    Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor, Grantor or the Collateral
Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. 

        SECTION 7.05.    Survival of Agreement.    All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by
the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other 

28

 

instruments
prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit
Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and
unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. 

        SECTION 7.06.    Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement.    This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on
behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon
such Loan Party and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and
any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to
each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any
other Loan Party hereunder. 

        SECTION 7.07.    Severability.    Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

        SECTION 7.08.    Right of Set-Off.    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Loan Party against any
of and all the obligations of such Subsidiary Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this agreement owed
to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this
Section 7.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have. 

        SECTION 7.09.    Governing Law, Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.    (a) This Agreement shall
be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 

        (b)   Each
of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive 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 

29

 

any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, 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 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. 

        (c)   Each
of the Loan Parties 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 or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section 7.09. 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)   Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

        SECTION 7.10.    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, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT 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 7.10. 

        SECTION 7.11.    Headings.    Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

        SECTION 7.12.    Security Interest Absolute.    All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security
Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor and Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack
of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the
foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure
from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release
or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute
a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance). 

        SECTION 7.13.    Termination or Release.    (a) This Agreement, the Guarantees made herein, the Security
Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the Loan Document Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full. 

30

 

  
        (b)   A Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be
automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower (or
otherwise ceases to be a Guarantor); provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit
Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise. 

        (c)   Upon
any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the
release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released. 

        (d)   In
connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such
Grantor's expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall
be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. 

        SECTION 7.14.    Additional Subsidiaries.    Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a
Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit I hereto, such Subsidiary that is required to become a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement shall become a
Subsidiary Loan Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Loan Party herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent
of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a parry to this
Agreement. 

        SECTION 7.15.    Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.    

        (a)   Each
Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this
Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled
with an interest. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent's
name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the
Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any
Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and
all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any
Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to
notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of
the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the
Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither 

31

 

they
nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

        (b)   The
Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the
Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any
delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard
to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent's and the Secured Parties' interests in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any
act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

        (c)   Pursuant
to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or
instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of
the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description "all personal property" or "all assets" or "All Assets of the Debtor" in any
such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. 

        (d)   Each
Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or
the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this
Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among
them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act
or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 

        SECTION 7.16.    Compliance with Laws.    Notwithstanding anything herein which may be construed to the
contrary, no action shall be taken by any of the Collateral Agent and the Secured. Parties with respect to the Licenses or any license, permit, certificate or authorization of the FCC or any other
federal, state or local regulatory or governmental bodies applicable to or having jurisdiction over any Grantor unless and until any required approval under the Communications Act or any other
applicable communications law, and any applicable rules and regulations thereunder, requiring the consent to or approval of such action by the FCC or any governmental or other communications
authority, have been satisfied and, to the extent applicable, any action taken with respect to, concerning or affecting the Collateral, directly or indirectly, or any Security Interest granted therein
by the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parries shall be subject to any required approval of the FCC and any state or local communications regulatory authority and all applicable communications laws. 

        SECTION 7.17.    Intercreditor Agreement.    Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the Loan Documents to
the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other
Security Document are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and any other Security
Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

Exhibit I to the

Guarantee and

Collateral Agreement 

        SUPPLEMENT
NO.        dated as of        , to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of October 28, 2010, among HAWAIIAN TELCOM
COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), HAWAIIAN TELCOM HOLDCO, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Holdings"), each subsidiary of the Borrower listed on Schedule I thereto (each such subsidiary individually a "Subsidiary Guarantor" and
collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"; the Subsidiary Guarantors, Holdings and the Borrower are referred to collectively herein as the "Grantors") and WILMINGTON TRUST FSB
("WTFSB"), as Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent"). 

        A.    Reference
is made to the Senior Secured Loan Agreement dated as of October 28, 2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the
"Lenders"), WTFSB, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") and Collateral
Agent for the Lenders. 

        B.    Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agreement
referred to therein, as applicable 

        C.    The
Grantors have entered into the Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit. Section 7.14
of the Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Subsidiary Loan Parties under the Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the
form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the "New Subsidiary") is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the
Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Loan Party under the Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue additional Letters of Credit
and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued follows: 

        Accordingly,
the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows: 

        SECTION 1.    In
accordance with Section 7.14 of the Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Loan Party (and
accordingly, becomes a Guarantor and a Grantor), Grantor and Guarantor under the Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Loan Party and the
New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Loan Party, Grantor and Guarantor thereunder and
(b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor and Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent,
its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary's right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a "Guarantor" or "Grantor" in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The
Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 

        SECTION 2.    The
New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. 

Exh. I-1

 

        SECTION 3.    This
Supplement 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 a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that
bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement. 

        SECTION 4.    The
New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the
location of any and all Collateral of the New Subsidiary and (b) set forth under its signature hereto, is the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of formation
and the location of its chief executive office. 

        SECTION 5.    Except
as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

        SECTION 6.    THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

        SECTION 7.    In
case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity
of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

        SECTION 8.    All
communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Collateral Agreement. 

        SECTION 9.    The
New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent. 

Exh. I-2

  
        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Collateral Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

  Exhibit 10.31    
    

 
    HAWAIIAN TELCOM
  2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN    
    

 
    ARTICLE I
  PURPOSE    
    

        1.1    Purpose of the Plan.    The Plan shall be known as the Hawaiian Telcom 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"Plan"). The Plan is intended to further the growth and profitability of the Company by increasing incentives and encouraging Share ownership on the
part of the Employees and Independent Directors of Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and its
Subsidiaries. The Plan is intended to permit the grant of Awards that constitute Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock,
Restricted Stock Units, and Other Stock Awards and such other forms as the Committee in its discretion deems appropriate, including any combination of the above. 

        1.2    Effective Date.    The Plan has been adopted by the Board on October 29, 2010 (the
"Effective Date"), subject, only in the case of the ability to grant ISOs, to the approval of the shareholders of the Company. 

 
 

  ARTICLE II
  DEFINITIONS    
    

        The following words and phrases shall have the following meanings unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context: 

        "Affiliate" means any corporation or any other entity (including, but not limited to, partnerships and joint ventures) directly or
indirectly controlled by the Company. 

        "Award" means, individually or collectively, a grant under the Plan of Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options,
Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Other Stock Awards, and such other forms as the Committee in its discretion deems appropriate. 

        "Award Agreement" means the written agreement setting forth the terms and conditions applicable to an Award. 

        "Base Price" means the price at which a SAR may be exercised with respect to a Share. 

        "Board" means the Company's Board of Directors, as constituted from time to time. 

        "Cause" means with respect to a Participant's Termination from and after the date hereof, the following: (a) in the case where
there is no employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant at the time of the grant of
the Award (or where there is such an agreement but it does not define "cause" (or words of like import)), termination due to: (i) the commission by a Participant of any indictable offense which
carries a maximum penalty of imprisonment; (ii) perpetration by a Participant of an illegal act, or fraud which could cause significant economic injury to the Company; (iii) continuing
failure by the Participant to perform the Participant's duties in any material respect, provided that the Participant is given notice and an opportunity to effectuate a cure as determined by the
Committee; or (iv) a Participant's willful misconduct with regard to the Company that could have a material adverse effect on the Company; or (b) in the case where there is an employment
agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant at the time of the grant of the Award that defines
"cause" (or words of like import), "cause" as defined under such agreement; provided, however, that with regard to any agreement under which the definition of "cause" only applies on occurrence of a
change in control, such definition of "cause" shall not apply until a change in control actually takes place and then only with regard to a termination thereafter. With respect to a Participant's
Termination of 

 

Directorship,
"cause" means an act or failure to act that constitutes cause for removal of a director under applicable law. 

        "Change in Control" means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant of an Award, the occurrence of any one or
more of the following events, provided that, with respect to any Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, an event shall not be treated as a Change in Control hereunder unless such
event also constitutes a "change in control event" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code: 

        (a)   any
"person" as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly,
by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Shares of the Company or any person who owns five percent (5%) or more of the Shares of the Company on
the date of the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings (a "Five Percent Owner")), becoming the beneficial owner (as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
securities; 

        (b)   during
any one-year period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a
person who has
entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in paragraph (a), (c), or (d) of this definition of "Change in Control" or a director whose initial
assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such term is used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the
Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the one-year period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; 

        (c)   a
merger or consolidation of the Company or a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would
result in either (I) a Five Percent Owner beneficially owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or the surviving entity (or the
ultimate parent corporation of the Company of the surviving entity) or (II) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation (or the ultimate parent company of the Company or such surviving entity); provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to
implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person (other than those covered by the exception in subparagraph (b)) acquires more than 50% of the combined
voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control; or 

        (d)   the
consummation of a sale or disposition of assets of the Company and/or its direct and indirect subsidiaries having a value constituting at least 40% of the total
gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) immediately prior to such transaction, other than the sale or disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the
Company at the time of the sale.

Section 22(e)(3) of the Code; or (b) in the case where there is an employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the
Company or an Affiliate and the Participant at the time of the grant of the Award that defines "disability" (or words of like import), "disability" as defined under such agreement; provided that with
respect to Incentive Stock Options "disability" shall mean a permanent and total disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code and; provided further, that for Awards that are subject to
Section 409A of the Code, Disability shall mean that a Participant is disabled under Section 409A(a)(2)(C)(i) or (ii) of the Code. A Disability shall only be deemed to occur at
the time of the determination by the Committee of the Disability. 

        "Effective Date" shall have the meaning set forth in Article I hereof.

on an established national or regional securities exchange, the closing transaction price of such a Share as reported by the principal exchange on which such Shares are traded on the date as of which
such value is being determined or, if there was no reported transaction for such date, the opening transaction price as reported by the exchange for the first trading date following the date by which
such value is being determined on the next preceding date for which a transaction was reported, (b) if the Shares are not readily traded on an established national or regional securities
exchange, the average of the bid and ask prices for such a Share on the date as of which such value is being determined, where quoted for such Shares, or (c) if Fair Market Value cannot

where there is such an agreement but it does not define "good reason" (or words or a concept of like import)), a voluntary termination due to (i) a material diminution in the nature or scope of
the Participant's responsibilities, duties or authority, (ii) the Company's material breach of any such agreement, (iii) the relocation of the Participant's principal office, without
his/her consent, to a location that is in excess of 100 miles from Honolulu, Hawaii, or (iv) the failure of the Company to make any material payment or provide any material benefit in
accordance with any such agreement, or due to any other good reason as the Committee, in its sole discretion, decides to treat as a Good Reason termination (provided that in order to invoke a
Termination for Good Reason, (A) the Participant must provide written notice within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of any event of "Good Reason," (B) the Company must fail to
cure such event within ten (10) days of the giving of such notice, and (C) the Participant must terminate employment within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the
Company's cure period); or (b) in the case where there is an employment agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and the
Participant at the time of the grant of the Award that defines "good reason" (or words or a concept of like import), a voluntary termination due to good reason (or words or a concept of like import),
as defined in such agreement at the time of the grant of the Award, and, for purposes of the Plan, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided that any definition that is effective
under an employment agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement after a change in control shall only be effective for purposes of this Plan after a change in control.

        "Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Any reference to any
section of the Securities Act shall also be a reference to any successor provision. 

        "Share" means the Company's common shares, or any security issued by the Company or any successor in exchange or in substitution therefor. 

        "Stock Appreciation Right" or "SAR" means an Award granted pursuant to
Article VIII, granted alone or in tandem with a related Option which is designated by the Committee as a SAR. 

        "Stock Award" means an Award of Restricted Stock or an RSU pursuant to Article VII. 

        "Subsidiary" means, with respect to any person, any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other business
entity of which (a) if a corporation, a majority of the total voting power of shares entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of directors,
managers or trustees thereof is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by that person or one or more of the other Subsidiaries of that person or a combination thereof, or
(b) if a limited liability company, partnership, association or other business entity, a majority of the limited liability company, partnership or other similar ownership interest thereof is at
the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person or one or more Subsidiaries of that person or a combination thereof. For purposes hereof, person or persons shall be deemed to have
a majority ownership interest in a limited liability company, partnership, association or other business entity if such person or persons shall be allocated a majority of limited liability company,

business entity. 

        "Ten Percent Holder" means an Employee (together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to

        "Termination" means a Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Awards
that are subject to Section 409A of the Code and that are settled or distributed upon a "Termination," the foregoing definition shall only apply to the extent the applicable event would also
constitute a "separation from service" under Code Section 409A. 

        "Termination of Directorship" means that the Independent Director has ceased to be a director of the Company; except that if a Independent
Director becomes an Eligible Employee upon the termination of his or her directorship, his or her ceasing to be a director of the Company shall not be treated as a Termination of Directorship unless
and until the Participant has a Termination of Employment. 

        "Termination of Employment" means: (a) a termination of employment (for reasons other than a military or personal leave of absence
granted by the Company) of a Participant from the Company and its Affiliates; or (b) when an entity which is employing a Participant ceases to be an Affiliate, unless the 

5

 

Participant
otherwise is, or thereupon becomes, employed by the Company or another Affiliate at the time the entity ceases to be an Affiliate. In the event that an Eligible Employee becomes an
Independent Director upon the termination of his or her employment, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, no Termination of Employment shall be deemed to occur until
such time as such Eligible Employee is no longer an Eligible Employee or an Independent Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may otherwise define Termination of Employment in the
Award Agreement or, if no rights of a Participant are reduced, may otherwise define Termination of Employment thereafter, provided that any such change to the definition of the term "Termination of
Employment" does not subject the applicable Award to Section 409A of the Code. 

        "Transfer" means: (a) when used as a noun, any direct or indirect transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or
other disposition (including the issuance of equity in a Person), whether for value or no value and whether voluntary or involuntary (including by operation of law), and (b) when used as a

        3.1    The Committee.    The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall consist of one
(1) or more members of the Board and may consist of the entire Board. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee shall be the Compensation Committee. 

        3.2    Authority and Action of the Committee.    It shall be the duty of the Committee to administer the Plan in

the full and final authority in its discretion to (a) determine which Eligible Individuals shall be eligible to receive Awards and to grant Awards, (b) prescribe the form, amount, timing
and other terms and conditions of each Award, (c) interpret the Plan and the Award Agreements (and any other instrument relating to the Plan), (d) adopt such procedures as it deems
necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible Individuals, (e) adopt such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate for the administration, interpretation and

        The
acts of the Committee shall be either (i) acts of a majority of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present or (ii) acts approved
in writing by all of the members of the Committee without a meeting. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The Committee's good faith determinations under the Plan need not be uniform
and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or
other information furnished to that member by any Employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Company's independent certified public accountants or any executive compensation
consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. 

        The
Company shall effect the granting of Awards under the Plan, in accordance with the determinations made by the Committee, by execution of written agreements and/or other instruments
in such form as is approved by the Committee. 

6

 

        3.3    Delegation by the Committee.    

        3.3.1  The
Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan to
one or more members of the Board of the Company and/or officers of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority or power if prohibited by applicable law. 

        3.3.2  The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of this Plan and may rely
upon any opinion received from any such counsel or consultant and any computation received from any such consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee or the Board in the engagement of any
such counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the Company. 

        3.4    Indemnification.    Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board and any
person designated pursuant to Section 3.3.1, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any
good faith action taken or good faith failure to act under the Plan or any Award Agreement, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company's
approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own
expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights
of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (or other organizational document) of the Company or a Subsidiary, by contract, as a matter of
law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 

        3.5    Decisions Binding.    All determinations, decisions and interpretations of the Committee, the Board, and any
delegate of the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by
law. 

 
 

  ARTICLE IV
  SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN    
    

        4.1    Number of Shares.    Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, the number of Shares available
for delivery pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall be 1,400,000 Shares. Shares awarded under the Plan may be; authorized but unissued Shares, authorized and issued Shares reacquired and held
as treasury Shares or a combination thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law or exchange rules, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity
acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall not reduce the Shares available for grants of Awards under this Section 4.1. The maximum number of Shares
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be granted shall be [      ]. 

        4.2    Lapsed Awards.    To the extent that Shares subject to an outstanding Option (except to the extent Shares are
issued or delivered by the Company in connection with the exercise of a tandem SAR) or other Award are not issued or delivered by reason of (i) the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other
termination of such Award, (ii) the withholding of such Shares in satisfaction of applicable federal, state or local taxes or (iii) the settlement of all or a portion of such Award in
cash, then such Shares shall again be available under this Plan. 

        4.3    Changes in Capital Structure.    Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event that any
extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of cash, 

7

 

Shares,
other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, change of control or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other corporate transaction or event (each a "Corporate
Event") affects the Shares, the Board or the Committee shall, in such manner as it in good faith deems equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number of Shares or other
securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or
number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the
Exercise Price or Base Price with respect to any Award, or make provision for an immediate cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in consideration for the cancellation of such Award. 

        4.3.1  If
the Company enters into or is involved in any Corporate Event, the Board or the Committee may, prior to such Corporate Event and upon such Corporate Event, take
such action as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, replacing Awards with substitute awards in respect of the Shares, other securities or other property of the surviving corporation or
any affiliate of the surviving corporation on such terms and conditions, as to the number of Shares, pricing and otherwise, which shall substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any
affected Awards granted hereunder as of the date of the consummation of the Corporate Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if a Change in Control occurs, with respect to
clauses (a), (c) and (d) of such definition only, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cancel each Participant's Awards immediately prior to such Change in
Control and to pay to each affected Participant in connection with the cancellation of such Participant's Awards, an amount that the Committee determines to be the equivalent value of such Award
(e.g., in the case of an Option or SAR, the amount of the spread), it being understood that the equivalent value of an Option or SAR with an exercise price greater than or equal to the Fair
Market Value of the underlying Shares shall be zero. 

        4.3.2  Upon
receipt by any affected Participant of any such substitute awards (or payment) as a result of any such Corporate Event, such Participant's affected Awards for
which such substitute awards (or payment) were received shall be thereupon cancelled without the need for obtaining the consent of any such affected Participant. Any good faith actions or
determinations of the Committee under this Section 4.3 need not be uniform as to all outstanding Awards, nor treat all Participants identically. 

        4.4    Minimum Purchase Price.    Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if authorized but
previously unissued Shares are issued under this Plan, such Shares shall not be issued for a consideration that is less than as permitted under applicable law. 

 
 

  ARTICLE V
  GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AWARDS    
    

        5.1    Awards Under the Plan.    Awards under the Plan may be in the form of Incentive Stock Options,
Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Other Stock-Based Awards, cash payments and such other forms as the Committee in its
discretion deems appropriate, including any combination of the above. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan nor shall any right be exercised under the Plan with respect to a fractional
Share. 

        5.2    General Eligibility.    All Eligible Individuals are eligible to be granted Awards, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Plan. Eligibility for the grant of Awards and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

        5.3    Incentive Stock Options.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only eligible Employees of the
Company, its Subsidiaries and its parent (if any) are eligible to be granted Incentive 

8

 

Stock
Options under this Plan. Eligibility for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

        5.4    Participation.    No person shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having
been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. The Committee's good faith determination under the Plan (including, without limitation, determination of the eligible Employees who shall be
granted Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, and the terms and provisions of Awards and the Award Agreements) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among eligible
Employees who receive or are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, whether or not such eligible Employees are similarly situated. 

        5.5    Non-transferability of Awards.    No Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that except as provided by in the relevant Award Agreement, a
Participant may transfer, without consideration, a Non-Qualified Stock Option to one or more members of his or her Immediate Family, to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of one
or more members of his or her Immediate Family, to a partnership in which all the partners are members of his or her Immediate Family, or to a limited liability company in which all the members are
members of his or her Immediate Family; provided, further, that any such Immediate Family, and any such trust, partnership and limited liability company, shall agree to be and shall be bound by the
terms of the Plan, and by the terms and provisions of the applicable Award Agreement and any other agreements covering the transferred Awards. All rights with respect to an Award granted to a
Participant shall be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant and may be exercised only by the Participant or the Participant's legal representative. 

        5.6    Withholding.    

        5.6.1    General.    As a condition to the settlement of any Award hereunder, a Participant shall be required to pay
in cash, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company (including, without limitation, authorizing withholding from payroll, reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable or
delivering Shares already owned), an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant's FICA and SDI obligations)
which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable
law, rule or regulation with respect to the Award. Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate or
book-entry transfer for such Shares. 

        5.6.2    Withholding Arrangements.    The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may
specify from time to time, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award by (a) paying cash, (b) having the
Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, (c) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax obligation, or (d) any combination of the
foregoing. 

        5.7    Conditions and Restrictions on Shares.    Each Participant to whom an Award is made under the Plan shall
(i) enter into an Award Agreement with the Company that shall contain such provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be approved by the Committee and (ii) to the
extent the Award is made at a time prior to the date Shares are listed for trading on an established securities exchange, enter into a "Stockholder's Agreement" that is substantially similar in all
material respect to any stockholder's agreement entered into by any other employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Award of any equity-based compensation. Each Award made
hereunder shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such Award upon any securities
exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or 

9

 

desirable
as a condition of, or in connection with, the exercise or settlement of such Award or the delivery of Shares thereunder, such Award shall not be exercised or settled and such Shares shall
not be delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The
Company may require that certificates evidencing Shares delivered pursuant to any Award made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is
prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. Finally, no Shares shall be issued and delivered under the Plan, unless the
issuance and delivery of those Shares shall comply with all relevant regulations and any registration, approval or action thereunder. 

 
 

  ARTICLE VI
  STOCK OPTIONS    
    

        6.1    Grant of Options.    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants at such
times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. An Award of Options may include Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or a combination thereof; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may only be
granted to an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted more than 10 years after the earlier of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) the
date this Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders. 

        6.2    Award Agreement.    Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price,
the expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, any conditions to the exercise of all or a portion of the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the
Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The Award Agreement pertaining to an Option shall designate such Option as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Notwithstanding any such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary as defined in Section 424 of the
Code) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall constitute Non-Qualified Stock Options. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order
in which they are granted. 

        6.3    Exercise Price.    Subject to the other provisions of this Section, the Exercise Price with respect to Shares
subject to an Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Exercise Price with respect to an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Holder shall not be less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. 

        6.4    Expiration Dates.    Each Option shall terminate not later than the expiration date specified in the Award
Agreement pertaining to such Option; provided, however, that the expiration date with respect to an Option shall not be later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its Grant Date and the expiration
date with respect to an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Holder shall not be later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of its Grant Date. 

        6.5    Exercisability of Options.    Subject to Section 6.4, Options granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times, and shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions at the time of or after the grant (including, without limitation, that they are exercisable only within certain time
periods), as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. The exercise of an Option is contingent upon payment by the optionee of the amount sufficient to pay all taxes required to be
withheld by any governmental agency. Such payment may be in any form approved by the Committee. 

10

 

        6.6    Method of Exercise.    Options shall be exercised in whole or in part by the Participant's delivery of a
written notice of exercise to the General Counsel of the Company (or his or her designee) in a form approved by the Committee, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to
be exercised, accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price with respect to each such Share and an amount sufficient to pay all taxes required to be withheld by any governmental agency. The
Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent and no Shares resulting from the exercise of an Option shall be issued until full payment therefore has been made. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, also may permit exercise (a) by tendering previously acquired Shares or (b) by any other means which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines
to both provide legal consideration for the Shares and be consistent with the purposes of the Plan (including, without limitation, a cashless exercise whereby the Company withholds that number of
Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Options being exercised). As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for
the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, the Company shall deliver to the Participant Share certificates (or the equivalent if such Shares are held in book entry form) for such Shares
with respect to which the Option is exercised. 

        6.7    Early Exercise.    The Committee may provide that an Option include a provision whereby the Participant may
elect at any time before the Participant's Termination to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the Shares subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option and such Shares shall be
subject to the provisions of Article VII and treated as Restricted Stock. Any unvested Shares so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other
restriction the Committee determines to be appropriate. 

        6.8    Restrictions on Share Transferability.    Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5, Options are not
transferable, except by will or the laws of descent. The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable,
including, but not limited to, restrictions related to applicable federal securities laws, the requirements of any national securities exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded,
or any blue sky or state securities laws. 

        6.9    Cashing Out of Option.    Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, on receipt of written notice of
exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of the Shares for which an Option is being exercised by paying the optionee an amount, in cash or Shares, equal to the excess
of the Fair Market Value of the Shares over the Exercise Price times the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised on the effective date of such cash-out. 

        6.10    Certain Powers.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in the Award
Agreement, the Committee may, at its sole and absolute discretion, (i) lower the Exercise Price of an Option after it is granted, or take any other action with the effect of lowering the
Exercise Price of an Option after it is granted or (ii) permit Participants to cancel an Option in exchange for another Award. 

        6.11    Incentive Stock Options.    Should any Option granted under this Plan be designated an "Incentive Stock
Option," but fail, for any reason, to meet the requirements of the Code for such a designation, then such Option shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option and shall be valid as
such according to its terms. 

11

 
 
 

  ARTICLE VII
  STOCK AWARDS    
    

        7.1    Grant of Stock Awards.    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Stock Awards may be granted to such
Participants at such times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Stock Awards may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards
granted under the Plan. 

        7.2    Stock Award Agreement.    Each Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the
number of Shares granted, the price, if any, to be paid for the Shares and the Period of Restriction applicable to a Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award and such other terms and conditions as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 

        7.3    Acceptance.    Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period of 60 days (or such other
period as the Committee may specify) after the grant date, by executing a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the Committee has designated thereunder. 

        7.4    Transferability/Share Certificates.    Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Stock may not be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated during the Period of Restriction. During the Period of Restriction, a Restricted Stock Award may be registered in the holder's
name or a nominee's name at the discretion of the Company and may bear a legend as described in Section 7.5.2. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, shares of Restricted Stock shall be
held by the Company as escrow agent during the applicable Period of Restriction, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank
with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the
Company of all or a portion of the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event such Award is forfeited in whole or part. 

        7.5    Other Restrictions.    The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares
subject to an Award of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate. 

        7.5.1    General Restrictions.    The Committee may set restrictions based upon applicable federal or state securities
laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion. 

        7.5.2    Legend on Certificates.    The Committee, in its sole discretion, may legend the certificates representing
Restricted Stock during the Period of Restriction to give appropriate notice of such restrictions. For example, the Committee may determine that some or all certificates representing Shares of
Restricted Stock shall bear the following legend: "The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject
to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), and in a
Restricted Stock Award Agreement (as defined by the Plan). A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock Award Agreement may be obtained from the General Counsel of Hawaiian Telcom
Communications, Inc." 

        7.6    Removal of Restrictions.    Shares of Restricted Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award made under the Plan
shall be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the termination of the Period of Restriction and, subject to the Company's right to require payment of any taxes, a certificate or
certificates evidencing ownership of the requisite number of Shares shall be delivered to the Participant. 

        7.7    Voting Rights.    During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted
hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. 

12

 

        7.8    Dividends and Other Distributions.    Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Participants shall be
entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Stock Awards provided, that any such dividends or other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as
the underlying Stock Awards and shall be paid at the time the Stock Award becomes vested. If any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares shall be deposited with the
Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Stock Awards with respect to which they were paid. 

 
 

  ARTICLE VIII
  STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS    
    

        8.1    Grant of SARs.    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to such Participants at such
times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

        8.2    Base Price and Other Terms.    The Committee, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete
discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Base Price with respect to Shares subject to a tandem SAR shall be the same as the
Exercise Price with respect to the Shares subject to the related Option. 

        8.3    SAR Agreement.    Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Base Price,
the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 

        8.4    Expiration Dates.    Each SAR shall terminate no later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its Grant Date;
provided, however, that the expiration date with respect to a tandem SAR shall not be later than the expiration date of the related Option. 

        8.5    Exercisability.    

        8.5.1    Method of Exercise.    Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to a SAR, a SAR may be
exercised (a) by the Participant's delivery of a written notice of exercise to the General Counsel of the Company (or his or her designee) setting forth the number of whole SARs which are being
exercised, (b) in the case of a tandem SAR, by surrendering to the Company any Options which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of such SAR, and (c) by executing such documents as
the Company may reasonably request. 

        8.5.2    Tandem SARs.    Tandem SARs (i.e., SARs issued in tandem with Options) shall be exercisable only at
such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. The related Options which have been surrendered
by the exercise of a tandem SAR, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related tandem SARs have been exercised. 

        8.5.3    Discretionary Limitations.    If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any such right is
exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that it is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the
exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such right may be
exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. 

        8.6    Payment.    Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, upon exercise of a SAR, the
Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: (i) the amount by which the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise
exceeds the Base Price specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to such SAR by (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. 

13

 

 

        8.7    Payment Upon Exercise of SAR.    Payment to a Participant upon the exercise of the SAR shall be made, as
determined by the Participant , either (a) in cash, (b) in Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the payment or (c) in a combination thereof, as set forth in the
applicable Award Agreement.

or conditions, Shares in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary, performance units, dividend equivalent units, stock

comply with Section 409A of the Code. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. 

        9.2    Non-Transferability.    Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and this Plan,

performance or deferral period lapses. 

        9.3    Dividends.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of Award, subject to the provisions of
the Award Agreement and this Plan, the recipient of an Award under this Article IX shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Award, provided
that any such dividends or other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying Award and shall be paid at the time the Award becomes vested. If any dividends or
distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which
they were paid. 

        9.4    Vesting.    Any Award under this Article IX and any Shares covered by any such Award shall vest or be
forfeited to the extent so provided in the Award Agreement, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

Committee in an Award Agreement, a Participant's unvested Award shall vest, and all restrictions to which any shares of Restricted Stock or any other Award granted prior to the Change in

  ARTICLE XI
  AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND DURATION    
    

        11.1    Amendment, Suspension or Termination.    The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate
the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including, without limitation,
Section 422 of the Code and the rules of the applicable securities exchange; provided, however, the Board may amend the Plan and any Award Agreement without shareholder approval as necessary to
avoid the imposition of any taxes under Section 409A of the Code. Subject to the preceding sentence, the amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the
Participant, materially adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, but shall not be
required to, amend or modify any Award to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code. The Company intends to administer the Plan and all Awards granted
thereunder in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A, however, the Company shall not be responsible for any additional tax imposed pursuant to Code Section 409A, nor will the
Company indemnify or otherwise reimburse a Participant for any liability incurred as a result of Code Section 409A. No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination
of the Plan. 

        11.2    Duration of the Plan.    The Plan shall, subject to Section 11.1, terminate 10 years after
adoption by the Board, unless earlier terminated by the Board and no further Awards shall be granted under the Plan. The termination of the Plan shall not affect any Awards granted prior to the
termination of the Plan. 

 
 

  ARTICLE XII
  MISCELLANEOUS    
    

        12.1    No Effect on Employment or Service.    Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right
of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without cause. 

        12.2    Unfunded Status.    The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing set forth herein shall give any Participant any right that is greater than the rights of a general
creditor of the Company. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation 

15

 

of
trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of
such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan. 

        12.3    Successors.    All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall
be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of
the business or assets of the Company. 

        12.4    Beneficiary Designations.    Subject to the restrictions in Section 5.5, a Participant under the Plan
may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant's death. For purposes of this Section, a beneficiary may include a designated
trust having as its primary beneficiary a family member of a Participant. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form
and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's estate and, subject
to the terms of the Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any unexercised vested Award may be exercised by the administrator or executor of the Participant's estate. 

        12.5    No Rights as Shareholder.    Except to the limited extent provided in Sections 7.7, 7.8, and 9.3, no
Participant (nor any beneficiary) shall have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), unless and
until certificates representing such Shares, if any, or in the event the Shares are non-certificate, such other method of recording beneficial ownership, shall have been issued, recorded
on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Participant (or beneficiary). 

        12.6    No Corporate Action Restriction.    The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreement and/or the Awards granted
hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize (a) any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change in the Company's or any Subsidiary's or Affiliate's capital structure or business, (b) any merger, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Company's or any Subsidiary's or Affiliate's capital stock
or the rights thereof, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company's or any Subsidiary's
or Affiliate's assets or business, or (f) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. No Participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any
claim against any member of the Board or the Committee, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any employees, officers, shareholders or agents of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as
a result of any such action. 

        12.7    Gender and Number.    Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also
shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 

        12.8    Severability.    In the event any provision of the Plan or of any Award Agreement shall be held illegal or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan or the Award Agreement, and the Plan and/or the Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as
if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

        12.9    Requirements of Law.    The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to
all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

otherwise governed by the Code or the securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and construed accordingly.

any Award Agreement, (d) agree that service of process in any such Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar

principal offices, attention General Counsel, and (e) agree that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the
State of New York. 

        12.12    Captions.    Captions are provided herein for convenience only, and shall not serve as a basis for
interpretation or construction of the Plan. 

        12.13    Payments to Minors.    Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other
person incapable of receipt thereof shall be deemed paid when paid to such person's guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment
shall fully discharge the Committee, the Board, the Company, its Affiliates and their employees, agents and representatives with respect thereto. 

        12.14    Section 409A of the Code.    The Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of
Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it shall be
paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including proposed, temporary or final regulations or any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any provision in the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be deemed to
be amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and to the extent such provision cannot be amended to comply therewith, such provision shall be null and void. The Company shall have no
liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Code Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the
Committee or the Company and, in the event that any amount or benefit under the Plan becomes subject to penalties under Section 409A, responsibility for payment of such penalties shall rest
solely with the affected Participant(s) and not with the Company.

        12.16    Other Benefits.    No Award granted or paid out under this Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of
computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount
of benefits is related to the level of compensation. 

        12.17    Costs.    The Company shall bear all expenses associated with administering this Plan, including expenses of
issuing Shares pursuant to any Awards hereunder. 

        12.18    Award Agreement.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, to the extent the provisions of any
Award Agreement are inconsistent with terms of the Plan and such inconsistency is a result of compliance with laws of the jurisdiction in which the Participant is resident or is related to taxation of
