 The Obligors and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Secured
Obligations, hereby acknowledge and agree that the security interest created hereby in the Collateral (i) constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising and (ii) is
not to be construed as an assignment of any Copyrights, Copyright Licenses, Patents, Patent Licenses, Trademarks or Trademark Licenses. 
 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, that: 

(a) Ownership. Each Obligor is the legal and beneficial owner of its Collateral and has the right to pledge, sell,
assign or transfer the same. To the best of such Obligor’s knowledge, there exists no Adverse Claim with respect to the Pledged Equity of such Obligor. 
 (b) Security Interest/Priority. This Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, in the Collateral
of such Obligor and, when properly perfected by filing, shall constitute a valid and perfected security interest in such Collateral (including all uncertificated Pledged Equity consisting of partnership or limited liability company interests that do
not constitute Securities), to the extent such security interest can be perfected by filing under the UCC, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens. The taking possession by the Administrative Agent of the certificated securities (if
any) evidencing the Pledged Equity and all other Instruments constituting Collateral will perfect and establish the first priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in all the Pledged Equity evidenced by such certificated
securities and such Instruments. With respect to any Collateral consisting of a Deposit Account, Securities Entitlement or held in a Securities Account, upon execution and delivery by the applicable Obligor, the applicable Securities Intermediary
and the Administrative Agent of an agreement granting control to the Administrative Agent over such Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have a valid and perfected security interest in such Collateral, free and clear of all Liens except for
Permitted Liens.

As-Extracted Collateral, Consumer Goods, Farm Products, Manufactured Homes or standing timber.

delivered by such Obligor (or is in the process of being delivered) or (B) services theretofore actually rendered by such Obligor to, the account debtor named therein, (iii) no Account of an Obligor is evidenced by any Instrument or
Chattel Paper unless such Instrument or Chattel Paper, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent (subject to Section 4(a)), has been endorsed over and delivered to, or submitted to the control of, the Administrative Agent and
(iv) the right to receive payment under each Account is assignable after giving effect to the UCC. 
 (e)
[Intentionally omitted]. 
 (f) Authorization of Pledged Equity. All Pledged Equity is duly
authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and, to the extent applicable (other than any such Pledged Equity that constitutes a limited liability company interest or other analogous equity interest), nonassessable. 

(g) No Other Equity Interests, Instruments, Etc. As of the date Schedule 1(b) is revised in accordance with
the terms of the Post-Closing Letter, (i) no Obligor owns any certificated Equity Interests in any Subsidiary that are required to be pledged and delivered to the

Administrative Agent hereunder except as set forth on Schedule 1(b) hereto, and (ii) no Obligor holds any Instruments, Documents or Tangible Chattel Paper required to be pledged and

provided that (x) such Subsidiary was not created in anticipation of such Permitted Acquisition and (y) such restrictions were not created in anticipation of such Permitted Acquisition, there are no restrictions in any Organization
Document governing any Pledged Equity or any other document related thereto which would limit or restrict (i) the grant of a Lien pursuant to this Agreement on such Pledged Equity, (ii) the perfection of such Lien or (iii) the
exercise of remedies in respect of such perfected Lien in the Pledged Equity as contemplated by this Agreement. Except for (i) the filing or recording of UCC financing statements, (ii) the filing of appropriate notices with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, (iii) obtaining control to perfect the Liens created by this Agreement (to the extent required under Section 4(a) hereof), (iv) such actions as may be required
by Laws affecting the offering and sale of securities, (v) such actions as may be required by applicable foreign Laws affecting the pledge of the Pledged Equity of Foreign Subsidiaries and (vi) consents, authorizations, filings or other
actions which have been obtained or made, no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or Governmental Authority and no consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, any stockholder,

 5 

 
validity of any Copyright, Patent or Trademark of any Obligor that is material to the business of the Obligors taken as a whole. 

(iii) No action or proceeding is pending seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any Copyright, Patent or

has provided prior written notice to the Obligors and the Obligors have failed to act within a reasonable period of time thereafter, if with respect to this clause (ii), the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the taking of a particular
action is required prior to the expiration of any applicable cure period(s) in order to prevent an impairment of its rights in and to any Collateral, then in either case, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion,
perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to
obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the security hereof or which may be compelled to make by
operation of Law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Obligors on a joint and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest
from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate. No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Obligor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Obligors of any
Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into
the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by an Obligor in appropriate proceedings and
against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP. 
 7. Remedies. 

(a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during continuation thereof, the
Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or by Law (including, but not limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and
the rights and remedies set forth in the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and
remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further, the Administrative Agent may, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) enter on any premises on which any
of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Obligors to assemble and make available to
the Administrative Agent at the expense of the Obligors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the
purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, 

  
 10 

 
and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Obligors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any place
and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale (which in the case of a private sale of Pledged Equity, shall be to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated 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), at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for Money,
upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements). Each Obligor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at
prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner and, in the case of a sale of Pledged Equity, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such
securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the Administrative Agent’s compliance with applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement at least 10 days before the time of sale or other
event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell any Pledged Equity which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general
circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or (ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to
involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Administrative Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such
securities. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any holder of Secured Obligations may be a
purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Obligors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may
postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by Law, be made at the time and place to
which the sale was postponed, or the Administrative Agent may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place. 
 (b) Remedies Relating to Accounts. During the continuation of an Event of Default, whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder,
(i) each Obligor will promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent
shall have the right to enforce any Obligor’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Administrative Agent or its designee may notify any Obligor’s customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Obligor have been
assigned to the Administrative Agent or of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name of an Obligor or both) demand, collect (including without

  
 11 

 
limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, sue for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any
Account, and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the holders of the Secured Obligations in the Accounts. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the holders of the Secured Obligations shall have any liability or responsibility to any Obligor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of
similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance. Furthermore, during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Obligors shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may
require in connection with such test verifications, (ii) upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the expense of the Obligors, the Obligors shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts and (iii) the Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with
account debtors on the Accounts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts. 
 (c) Deposit Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may prevent withdrawals or other dispositions of funds in Deposit Accounts
maintained with the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Obligors without cost or charge to the
Administrative Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Obligors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether
by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, the Administrative Agent may, subject to applicable Law, remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or
liquidate such Collateral. 
 (e) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative Agent or
the holders of the Secured Obligations to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other document relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by Law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or
the holders of the Secured Obligations in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought
to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by Law, neither the
Administrative Agent, the holders of the Secured Obligations, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment
or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any other right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations may have. 

  
 12 

 (f) Retention of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies
hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable Law of the
relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any
Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason. 
 (g) Deficiency. In the event that
the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations are legally entitled, the Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the
deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall
be returned to the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto. 
 8.
Rights of the Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of
attorney contained herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and with
power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, give discharges and releases, all as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine; 

(ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any Collateral and enforcing any
other right in respect thereof; 
 (iii) to defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection
therewith, give such discharge or release as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably appropriate; 
 (iv)
receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving
rise to the Collateral of such Obligor on behalf of and in the name of such Obligor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral; 
 (v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and
completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes; 
 (vi) adjust
and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto; 
 (vii) execute and deliver all assignments,
conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Administrative Agent may determine necessary in order to perfect (other
than with respect to Excluded Property) and maintain the 

  
 13 

 
security interests and liens granted in this Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein; 

(viii) institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; 

(ix) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other documents
relating to the Collateral; 
 (x) to exchange any of the Pledged Equity or other property upon any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon
such terms as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; 
 (xi) to vote for a shareholder
resolution, or to sign an instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Pledged Equity into the name of the Administrative Agent or one or more of the holders of the Secured Obligations or into the name of any transferee to
whom the Pledged Equity or any part thereof may be sold pursuant to Section 7 hereof; 
 (xii) to pay or
discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; 
 (xiii) to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or
as the Administrative Agent shall direct; 
 (xiv) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies,
claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; and 

(xv) do and perform all such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper
or convenient in connection with the Collateral. 
 This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable until such time as the Secured Obligations arising under the Loan Documents have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) and the Commitments have expired or been terminated.
The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any
failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or
omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral. 

(b) Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from time to time assign the Secured
Obligations to a successor Administrative Agent appointed in 

  
 14 

 
accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such successor shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement in relation thereto. 

(c) The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe
custody of the Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible
for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less
than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any
of the Collateral. In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for sale. 
 (d) Liability with Respect to Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each of the Obligors shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving
rise to each such Account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any holder of Secured Obligations shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the
receipt by the Administrative Agent or any holder of Secured Obligations of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any holder of Secured Obligations be obligated in any manner to perform any of
the obligations of an Obligor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any
performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it
may be entitled at any time or times. 
 (e) Voting and Payment Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity.

 (i) So long as no Event of Default shall exist, each Obligor may (A) exercise any and all voting and
other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity of such Obligor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and (B) receive and retain any and all dividends (other than
stock dividends and other dividends constituting Collateral which are addressed hereinabove), principal or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent they are allowed under the Credit Agreement; and 

(ii) During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, (A) all rights of an
Obligor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i)(A) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then
have the sole right to exercise such voting and 

  
 15 

 
other consensual rights, (B) all rights of an Obligor to receive the dividends, principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to
clause (i)(B) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, principal and interest payments, and (C) all
dividends, principal and interest payments which are received by an Obligor contrary to the provisions of clause (ii)(B) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds
of such Obligor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations. 

(f) Releases of Collateral. (i) If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any
Obligor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Obligor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Obligor all releases and other documents, and take such other
action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Collateral Document on such Collateral. (ii) The Administrative Agent may release any of the Pledged Equity from this Agreement or may substitute any of
the Pledged Equity for other Pledged Equity without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Agreement as to any Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted, and this Agreement
shall continue as a Lien on all Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted. 
 9. Application of Proceeds. Upon
the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the
Secured Obligations in Money, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. 
 10. Continuing Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect until such time as the Secured Obligations arising under the Loan Documents have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claims has been made) and the Commitments have expired or
been terminated, at which time this Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligors, forthwith release all of its liens and security interests hereunder and shall
execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Obligors evidencing such termination. 
 (b) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in
the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations. 

  
 16 

 11. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications, etc. This Agreement and the provisions hereof
may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any update or revision to Schedule 2(c) hereof delivered by any Obligor shall not
constitute an amendment for purposes of this Section 11 or Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement. 
 12.
Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Obligor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations hereunder, to
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations and their successors and permitted assigns. 

13. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in conformance with
Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. 
 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which where so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such
counterpart. Delivery of executed counterparts of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as an original. 
 15. Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 

16. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The terms of Sections 11.14 and 11.15 of
the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission to jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms. 

17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall
be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. 

18. Entirety. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Secured Obligations represent the
entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Loan Documents, any other documents relating to
the Secured Obligations, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein. 
 19. Other Security. To the extent that
any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including, without limitation, real property and securities owned by an Obligor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then
the Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement during the continuance of any Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine
which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Secured
Obligations or any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement, under any other of the Loan Documents or under any other document relating to the Secured Obligations. 

20. Joinder. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become party hereto by executing and
delivering to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement. Immediately upon such execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement (and without any further action), 

  
 17 

 
each such additional Person will become a party to this Agreement as an “Obligor” and have all of the rights and obligations of an Obligor hereunder and this Agreement and the schedules
hereto shall be deemed amended by such Joinder Agreement. 
 21. Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the
Administrative Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Administrative Agent, may be exercised by the Required Lenders. 
 22.
Consent of Issuers of Pledged Equity. Each issuer of Pledged Equity party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees to the grant of the security interests in such Pledged Equity by the applicable Obligors pursuant to this
Agreement, together with all rights accompanying such security interest as provided by this Agreement and applicable law, notwithstanding any anti-assignment provisions in any operating agreement, limited partnership agreement or similar
organizational or governance documents of such issuer.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 

 
 October 3, 2011 
 Philip D. Ankeny 
 353 Ferndale Road 
 Wayzata, MN 55391 
  

	 	Re:	Separation and Release Agreement 

 Dear Phil,

 This letter confirms the arrangements regarding the termination of your employment with SurModics, Inc. (“SurModics”, or the
“Company”). The purpose of this separation and release agreement (“Agreement”) is to set forth the specific separation pay and benefits that SurModics will provide you in exchange for your agreement to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. 
 By your signature below, you agree to the following terms and conditions: 

 

	 	1.	End of Employment. 

  

	 	a.	The last day of your employment with SurModics was August 31, 2011, which is considered your Employment Termination Date. 

 

	 	b.	Except for any rights you may have under any stock agreements between you and the Company or under any SurModics benefit plan following your Employment Termination Date
(which shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of any such grant agreement or the applicable benefit plan), you are not eligible for any other payments or benefits except for those expressly described in this Agreement, which are
contingent on your signing, not rescinding, and otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	 	2.	Separation Pay and Benefits. Specifically in consideration of your signing and not rescinding this Agreement, and subject to the limitations, obligations, and
other provisions contained in this Agreement, SurModics agrees as follows: 

  

	 	a.	To pay you severance pay, as a lump sum less applicable withholdings, as follows: (i) $252,350 representing an amount equal to twelve (12) months of your base
pay in effect as of your Employment Termination Date, (ii) $132,750 representing a prorated amount of your incentive award under the Company’s fiscal 2011 annual incentive plan, and (iii) $84,375 representing a portion of the value of
your unvested stock awards that were granted to you on November 30, 2010 and that were forfeited as a result of the termination of your employment with the Company.

	 	b.	To pay you a cash payment equal to $18,284, as a lump sum less applicable withholdings, to assist you with the costs of COBRA continuation coverage for you and your
eligible dependents for a period of twelve months following the Employment Termination Date. 

  

	 	c.	To pay you a cash payment equal to $8,000, as a lump sum less applicable withholdings, in order to cover the cost of executive-level outplacement assistance services.

 The payment described in Section 2(a)(ii) will be paid on the date that is the later of: (i) the
Company’s next regularly scheduled payroll date following the expiration of the Rescission Period (as defined below), or (ii) ten (10) business days following the expiration of the Rescission Period. The payments described in Sections
2(a)(i), 2(a)(iii), 2(b) and 2(c) will be paid on January 13, 2012. 
  

	 	3.	Release of Claims. Specifically in consideration of the separation pay and benefits described in Section 2, and to which you would not otherwise be
entitled, by signing this Agreement you, for yourself and anyone who has or obtains legal rights or claims through you, agree to the following: 

  

	 	a.	You hereby do release and forever discharge all of your rights you may have to any relief of any kind from any of the Released Persons (as defined below), including
without limitation, any and all manner of claims, demands, actions, causes of action, administrative claims, liability, damages, claims for punitive or liquidated damages, claims for attorney’s fees, costs, interest and disbursements,
individual or class action claims, requests for equitable relief, or any other demands of any kind whatsoever, you have or might have against any Released Person, whether known or unknown, in law or equity, contract or tort, arising out of or in
connection with your employment with SurModics, or the termination of that employment, or otherwise, and however originating or existing, from the beginning of time through the date of your signing this Agreement. 

 

	 	b.	 This release includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of your rights to relief of any kind from any of the Released Persons for
any claims, including claims you may have for wages, bonuses, commissions, penalties, deferred compensation, vacation pay, separation benefits, back pay, front pay, reinstatement, equitable relief, compensatory damages, damages for alleged personal
injury, liquidated damages, punitive damages, failure to keep any promise, breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, estoppel, your claims, if any, as a “whistleblower,” defamation, invasion of privacy,
negligence, assault, battery, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, fraud, misrepresentation, retaliation or reprisal, constructive discharge, false imprisonment, interference with contractual or business relationships, improper
discharge (based on contract, common law, or statute, including any federal, state or local statute or ordinance prohibiting discrimination or retaliation in employment), violation of the United States Constitution, the Minnesota Constitution, the

Act, Minn. Stat. § 363.01 et seq., Title 25 of the Code of Alabama, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Cal. Gov’t Code § 12900 et seq., the
Unruh Civil Rights Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 51 et seq., the California Law on Equal Pay, Cal. Labor Code § 1197.5, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., the Americans with Disabilities
Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1976, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq., the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq., 42 U.S.C. §
1981, the Equal Pay Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, any claim arising under
workers’ compensation non-interference or non-retaliation statutes such as Minn. Stat. § 176.82, and any claim for retaliation or discrimination based on sex, race, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, marital status, sexual
orientation, genetic information, disability, status with regard to public assistance or any other protected class, or sexual or other harassment. 

  

	 	c.	This release also includes all rights you have under Cal. Civil Code § 1542, which states that: “A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” You agree that this waiver covers all claims whether or not you
now know about such claims. 

  

	 	d.	You affirm that you have not caused or permitted, and to the full extent permitted by law will not cause or permit to be filed, any charge, complaint, or action of any
nature or type against any Released Person, including but not limited to any action or proceeding raising claims arising in tort or contract, or any claims arising under federal, state, or local laws, including discrimination laws. Excluded from
this covenant are any claims which cannot be waived by law, including, without limitation, the right to file a charge with or participate in any investigation conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or any
state or local agency. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with such right. You agree to waive, however, your right to any monetary recovery should the EEOC or any state or local agency pursue any claims on your behalf.

  

	 	e.	You are not, by signing this Agreement, releasing or waiving (1) any vested interest you may have in any 401(k) or employee stock purchase plan by virtue of your
employment with SurModics, (2) any rights or claims that may arise after the Agreement is signed, (3) the post-employment benefits and payment specifically promised to you under this Agreement, (4) the right to institute legal action
for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Agreement, or (5) the right to file a claim for unemployment benefits. 

  

	 	f.	As used in this Section 3, “Released Persons” shall mean SurModics, Inc. and its related entities, insurers, and its and their present and former
officers, directors, shareholders, trustees, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives and consultants, and the successors and assigns of each, whether in their individual or official capacities, and the current and former trustees or
administrators of any pension or other benefit plan applicable to the employees or former employees of SurModics, in their official and individual capacities.

	 	4.	Acknowledgement of Receipt of Information. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have received SurModics, Inc.’s Separation Pay and Benefits
Eligibility Disclosure (the “Disclosure”), attached hereto as Exhibit A, which sets forth (a) information relating to employees in your decisional unit (as described in the Disclosure) who are being offered separation
benefits in exchange for signing, not rescinding and otherwise complying with a separation and release agreement and (b) information relating to employees in your decisional unit who were considered but who are not eligible to receive such
separation benefits in connection with the reduction in force. You acknowledge that you have reviewed and understand the information contained in the Disclosure. 

 

	 	5.	Notice of Right to Consult Attorney and Forty-Five (45) Day Consideration Period. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that SurModics has
informed you by this Agreement that (1) you have the right to consult with an attorney of your choice prior to signing this Agreement, and (2) you are entitled to forty-five (45) days from the receipt of this Agreement and Disclosure,
not counting the day upon which you receive them, to consider whether the terms of this Agreement and the Disclosure are acceptable to you. SurModics encourages you to use the full 45-day period to consider this Agreement but you have the right, if
you choose, to sign this Agreement prior to the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period. You also agree that any changes made to this Agreement before you sign it, whether material or immaterial, will not restart the forty-five
(45) day period. 

  

	 	6.	Notice of Right to Rescind this Agreement. You are hereby notified of your right to rescind this Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days of your signing
this Agreement (the “Rescission Period”). This Agreement will not become effective unless and until the Rescission Period has expired without your rescission of it. In order to be effective, the rescission must

  

	 	a.	be in writing; and 

  

	 	b.	 delivered to Bryan Phillips, SurModics, Inc., 9924 West 74th Street, Eden Prairie, MN 55344-3523, by hand or mail within the required period. 

This Agreement will be effective upon the expiration of the 15-day period without rescission. You understand that if you rescind any part
of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6, you will not receive the separation pay or benefits described in Section 2 and you will be obligated to return any such benefits and payment if already received. Payments provided under
this Agreement will be considered timely if placed in the U.S. Mail, postage prepaid, and postmarked on the date such payment is due. 
  

	 	7.	 Return of Property. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that all documents and materials relating to the business of, or the
services provided by, SurModics are the sole property of SurModics. By signing this Agreement you further agree and represent that you have returned to SurModics all of its property, including but not limited to, all

customer records and other documents and materials, whether on computer disc, hard drive or other form, and all copies thereof, within your possession or control, which in any manner relate to
the business of, or the duties and services you performed on behalf of SurModics. 

  

	 	8.	Confidential and Proprietary Information. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that you have had access in your employment with SurModics to
confidential and proprietary information of SurModics and further acknowledge and agree that the release or disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information of SurModics will cause SurModics irreparable injury. By signing this Agreement,
you acknowledge that you have not used or disclosed, and agree that you will not at any time use or disclose, to any other entity or person, directly or indirectly, any confidential or proprietary information of SurModics. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “confidential or proprietary information” shall include, but not be limited to, customer lists and information pertaining to customer lists; contact lists; and information about the personal or business affairs of
SurModics’ customers, vendors, or employees. 

  

	 	9.	Mutual Non-Disparagement. You agree that you will not make any disparaging, negative, or derogatory comments about the Company, any of its officers, directors,
or employees, or any of the Company’s products or services. SurModics agrees that none of its executive officers or its directors will make any disparaging, negative, or derogatory statements about you. It will not be a violation of either
party’s obligations under this Section to make truthful statements as required by law or formal legal process. 

  

	 	10.	Confidentiality. You agree not to disclose or discuss, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, any information regarding the contents and terms of this
Agreement, except that you may discuss the contents and terms of this Agreement with your legal and financial advisors and your spouse, provided they agree to keep the information confidential, or as otherwise required by law or formal legal
process. 

  

	 	11.	Non-Competition. You acknowledge and reaffirm your commitment to adhere to the Invention/Non-Disclosure Agreement you previously entered with SurModics, which is
attached here as Exhibit B (the “Non-Competition Agreement”). You agree that that Non-Competition Agreement survives your separation from employment, is unaffected by this Agreement and remains binding upon you according to
its terms. 

  

	 	12.	Ongoing Assistance. Following your Employment Termination Date, you agree to make yourself reasonably available, subject to your other personal and professional
commitments and obligations, to provide information and other assistance as reasonably requested by the Company (and, at the reasonable expense of the Company), with respect to pending, threatened or potential claims or other matters about which you
have personal knowledge or that were within the scope of your employment with the Company. In all events, the Company shall reimburse you or pay on your behalf, all direct expenses incurred (including any travel) in connection with your fulfillment
of the obligations set forth in this Section 12. 

  

	 	13.	 Remedies. If you breach any term of this Agreement, SurModics shall be entitled to its available legal and equitable remedies, including but not
limited to suspending and recovering any and all payments and benefits made or to be made under this Agreement. 

 Mr. Philip D. Ankeny 
 October 3, 2011

 If SurModics seeks and/or obtains relief from an alleged breach of this Agreement, all
of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
  

	 	14.	Non-Admission. It is expressly understood that this Agreement does not constitute, nor shall it be construed as, an admission by SurModics or you of any
liability or unlawful conduct whatsoever. SurModics and you specifically deny any liability or unlawful conduct. 

  

	 	15.	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal to you and may not be assigned by you without the written agreement of SurModics. The rights and obligations
of this Agreement shall inure to the successors and assigns of SurModics. 

  

	 	16.	Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. 

 

	 	17.	Full Agreement. This Agreement contains the full agreement between you and SurModics and may not be modified, altered, or changed in any way except by written
agreement signed by both parties. The parties agree that this Agreement supersedes and terminates any and all other written and oral agreements and understandings between the parties, except for the Non-Competition Agreement, and any stock option
grant agreements between you and SurModics, which shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms. 

  

	 	18.	Additional Representations and Acknowledgments. By signing this Agreement, you represent that you are legally able and entitled to receive the separation pay and
benefits described in Section 2. You further represent that you have not been involved in any personal bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings at any time since you began your employment with SurModics. No child support orders, garnishment
orders, or other orders requiring that money owed to you by SurModics be paid to any other person are now in effect. You also represent and confirm that you have been fully paid for all wages, overtime, commissions, bonuses, and other compensation
that you earned during your employment with SurModics. You also represent and confirm that during your employment with SurModics you received all leaves of absence that you requested and to which you were entitled under the Family Medical Leave Act
or any other law. You acknowledge and agree that SurModics may modify or terminate its group insurance plans at any time and that you shall have the same right to participate in SurModics’ group insurance plans only as provided on an equivalent
basis to other SurModics employees. In order to continue coverages, you must elect COBRA coverage in accordance with the applicable plan documents. Nothing in this Agreement extends your COBRA period for continuation of your insurance coverage under
SurModics’ group plans. 

  

	 	19.	Taxes. The payments under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or to comply with, the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and
the interpretative guidance thereunder, including the exceptions for short-term deferrals, separation pay arrangements, reimbursements, and in-kind distributions, and shall be administered accordingly. SurModics makes no representation or warranty
to you regarding the tax treatment of any payment hereunder and you will be solely responsible for taxes in connection with any such payments.

deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one agreement binding on both parties. 

  

	 	21.	Acknowledgment of Reading and Understanding. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read this Agreement, including the release of claims
contained in Section 3, and understand that the release of claims is a full and final release of all of your rights that you may have to any relief of any kind for any claims against SurModics (as defined in Section 3). By
