 (the “Issue Date”)
 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Payor”), promises to pay to the order of the holder identified on the signature page hereto under the caption “Holder” or such holder’s assigns (“Holder”), the aggregate principal amount of
$                     (             Million Dollars), and interest on the outstanding
principal amount at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), in the manner and at the times set forth in this Convertible Note (this “Note”). Interest shall accrue from
and including the Issue Date and continue to accrue on the outstanding principal amount until paid in full or until this Note is converted in full in accordance with Section 2. Accrued interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each
June 18 and December 18 (or if any such day is not a business day (as defined in Section 15), on the next succeeding business day) beginning on December 18, 2011. Interest and principal shall be payable at such address or by wire
transfer to such account as Holder shall specify by written notice or in the absence of such notice at the address set forth for Holder in the Note Register (as defined in Section 8(d)), which initially shall be the address of Holder set forth
on the signature page hereto. Certain terms used herein have the respective meanings set forth in Section 15. 
 This Note
has been executed and delivered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2011 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase
Agreement”), by and among Payor and Patriot Special Metals, Inc., an Ohio corporation, RSM Real Estate Holding, Inc., an Ohio corporation, John Dimitrieff, Gordon Dimitrieff and Robert Dimitrieff. 

1. Payments. 
 (a) Form of Payment. All payments of interest and principal shall be in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds. All payments shall be applied first to accrued
interest, and thereafter to principal. 
 (b) Scheduled Payment. The unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid
interest shall be due and payable on August 17, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) unless all of the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note has been fully prepaid earlier pursuant to Section 1(c)
or fully converted earlier pursuant to Section 2. 
 (c) Prepayment. Principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on
this Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, on any date after August 17, 2014 during a fiscal quarter of Payor (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the Per Share Market Value was more than 140% of the Conversion Price for at least 20 of
the Trading Days in the 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, but only to the extent this Note has not been converted pursuant to Section 2 prior to such prepayment. At
least twenty (20) business days prior to any such prepayment, Payor shall deliver to Holder written notice thereof, specifying the amount of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to be prepaid and the date of such
prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, Holder shall have the right to convert all, or from time to time any portion, of the outstanding principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, including any principal and accrued interest
to be so prepaid, pursuant to Section 2 prior to such prepayment, including after receiving notice of such prepayment. Payor shall maintain a record in the Note Register showing the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this
Note prepaid and the date of each prepayment. 

 2. Conversion. 

(a) Voluntary Conversion. Prior to and continuing to and including the Maturity Date, Holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to
convert (a “Conversion”) all, or from time to time any portion which is an integral multiple of $100,000, of the outstanding principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note (any such amount of principal and interest being
converted, a “Conversion Amount”) into such number of shares of Payor’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (or cash, securities and/or other assets as provided in Section 3), as is obtained by
multiplying (A) each $100,000 of the Conversion Amount by (B) the Conversion Rate then in effect (the “Conversion Shares”). 
 (b) Issuance of Conversion Shares Upon Voluntary Conversion. To convert all or any portion of the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note into shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Section 2(a), Holder shall deliver to Payor (i) the original or facsimile of the form entitled “Voluntary Conversion Notice” attached as Exhibit A to this Note, duly completed and manually signed (the “Voluntary
Conversion Notice”), specifying the Conversion Amount, (ii) if required by Section 2(c), this Note in its original form duly endorsed for cancellation (or an affidavit in a form reasonably satisfactory to Payor that the original copy
of this Note has been lost or destroyed) and (iii) such other related documentation as is reasonably requested by Payor in connection with such Conversion. Payor shall, as soon as practicable after delivery of the items designated in the
immediately preceding sentence (but in any event within five (5) business days), issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates, registered in such name or names and denomination or denominations as Holder has specified, for the
Conversion Shares or, if Payor’s transfer agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or any other program of DTC through which the Conversion Shares may be transferred,
upon the request of Holder, credit the Conversion Shares to Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or other applicable system (in each case, bearing such legends as are
required by the Securities Act). The conversion of the Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be deemed to have been made on the date that Payor actually receives the Voluntary Conversion Notice (each such date, a “Conversion
Date”), and Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares as of the Conversion Date; provided, however, that if Payor shall fail to issue and deliver to Holder the Conversion Shares or to credit the
Conversion Shares to Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, within ten (10) business days after receipt of the items designated in the first sentence of this paragraph, the principal amount of this Note
that Holder specified to be converted shall continue to bear interest from and including the Conversion Date at a rate equal to the rate borne by this Note, the accrued and unpaid interest that Holder specified to be converted shall remain
outstanding and the Conversion Amount shall remain convertible, in each case until the Conversion Shares are issued in respect of the Conversion Amount or Holder shall have been paid the Conversion Amount in full. 

(c) Book Entry. Upon a Conversion of this Note, Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Payor unless
(i) the entire principal amount of and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note is being converted or (ii) less than the entire principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note is being converted and Holder has provided
Payor with prior written notice (which notice may be included in the Voluntary Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of the unconverted portion of this Note upon physical surrender. Payor shall maintain a record in the Note Register showing the
principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note converted and the date of each conversion. 
 (d) Fractional
Shares. Payor shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon any Conversion but, instead, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each Conversion shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. 

(e) Effect of Conversion. Upon conversion of the entire principal amount of and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2, Payor shall be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note other than the obligation to issue the certificates representing the Conversion Shares or credit the Conversion
Shares to Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2(b). 
 3.
Adjustments to Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 3. Payor shall give Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 3 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 14. 

  
 - 2 -

 (a) Certain Corporate Events. Upon the consummation of any merger, consolidation,
business combination, tender or exchange offer, spin-off, sale of all or substantially all assets, reclassification, recapitalization or other transaction or event pursuant to or as a result of which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
cash, securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), and as a condition to the consummation of each such Corporate Event, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided
in this Note, this Note shall be, and the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, if other than Payor, shall execute and deliver to Holder an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holder, providing that this Note
shall be convertible into the number or amount of the cash, securities and/or other assets to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note in full immediately prior thereto (including the right of a
stockholder to elect the type of consideration it shall receive upon a Corporate Event) would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Corporate Event. Such agreement also shall provide for adjustments (subsequent to such Corporate Event) as
nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 3. In determining the kind and amount of cash, securities and/or other assets receivable upon conversion of this Note following the consummation of such
Corporate Event, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Corporate Event, then Holder shall have the right to make a similar election upon conversion of this
Note with respect to the kind and amount of cash, securities and/or other assets which Holder shall receive upon conversion of this Note. The provisions of this Section 3(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events
unless or until this Note is converted in full or repaid in full, as the case may be. 
 (b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions
and Combinations. If at any time Payor shall: 
 (i) make or issue, or set a record date for the holders of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock; 
 (ii) subdivide or reclassify outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock; or 
 (iii) combine or reclassify outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, 
 then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to equal the product of (A) the Conversion Rate as of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification, as applicable, multiplied by (B) a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination
or reclassification, as applicable, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such record date or date of such dividend or distribution, before giving effect to such dividend, distribution,
subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable. 
 (c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time Payor
shall make or issue, or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, any dividend or other distribution of: 

(i) any evidences of indebtedness, any shares of capital stock or any other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever of any person (other than cash or Common Stock under Section 3(b)); or 
 (ii) any warrants or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of indebtedness, any shares of capital stock or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever of any person (other than cash or Common Stock under Section 3(b)), 

then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to equal the product of (A) the Conversion Rate as of such record date or date of such dividend or
distribution multiplied by (B) a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock as of such record date or date of such dividend or distribution and (2) the denominator of which shall be such
Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the Fair Market Value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, 

  
 - 3 -

 
shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by Payor to the holders of the Common Stock of such shares of such other class of
stock within the meaning of this Section 3(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a
subdivision, combination or reclassification, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 3(b). 
 (d) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the Conversion Rate then in effect provided for in
this Section 3: 
 (i) Timing of Adjustments. The adjustments required by this Section 3 shall be made
whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment in the Conversion Rate may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification of shares of the Common Stock,
as provided for in Section 3(b)) up to but not beyond the Conversion Date if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one-half percent (0.5%) of the Conversion Rate immediately
prior to the making of such adjustment; provided, however, that Payor upon request of Holder shall deliver to Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing Holder’s right to receive such additional shares, upon the occurrence of
the event requiring such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made on the earlier of (A) as soon as such adjustment, together
with other adjustments required by this Section 3 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment and (B) on the Conversion Date. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on the date of its occurrence. 
 (ii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under
this Section 3, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share and calculations of dollar amounts shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent.

 (iii) When Adjustment Not Required. If Payor shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
subscription or purchase rights, prior to vesting any rights to any stockholders, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded
and annulled. 
 (iv) Adjustment for Unspecified Actions. If Payor takes any action affecting the Common Stock,
other than actions described in this Section 3, which would materially and adversely affect the conversion rights of Holder, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted for Holder’s benefit, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner,
and at such time, as the Payor, after consultation with Holder, shall reasonably determine to be equitable under the circumstances. 
 (v) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, Payor shall take any
action which is necessary, including obtaining regulatory, Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Nasdaq Global Select Market (or any other applicable securities exchange or market), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or
stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that Payor may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock, cash and other securities or assets, as applicable, that Holder is entitled to receive upon
conversion of this Note pursuant to and after giving effect to the adjustments set forth in this Section 3. 
 (e) Form
of Note after Adjustments. Except as provided in Section 3(a), the form of this Note need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Conversion Rate or the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the conversion of this Note.

 4. Events of Default. Payor shall give Holder prompt written notice of any event that

(a) Payor defaults in the payment of any principal under this Note when due; 

(b) Payor defaults in the payment of any interest or (other than as specified in Section 4(a) or 4(d)) any other obligation
involving the payment of money under this Note and such default continues for more than thirty (30) business days after the due date thereof;

Payor fails to provide timely notice of any Designated Event in accordance with Section 7 or Payor fails to timely pay the Designated Event Purchase Price in accordance with Section 7; 

(e) Payor fails to observe, comply with or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in this Note and such failure is not curable
(it being understood that a failure to observe, comply with or perform Section 8(a) shall be deemed to be not curable) or, if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days after such failure; 

(f) Payor shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or shall file any petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization,
arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future bankruptcy or other statute, law or regulation, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver,
custodian, sequestrator, liquidator or similar official of Payor or of all or substantially all of the properties of Payor; or Payor or its directors shall take any action initiating the dissolution or liquidation of Payor, or Payor or its directors
shall take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; 
 (g) sixty (60) days shall have elapsed after
the commencement of an action by or against Payor seeking, or after the entry of an order or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction ordering or granting relief against Payor with respect to, the reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future bankruptcy or other statute, law or regulation or the appointment of any trustee, receiver, custodian, sequestrator, liquidator or similar official of Payor or of
all or substantially all of the properties of Payor, without such action, order or decree, as applicable, being dismissed or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of Payor being stayed; or a stay of any such
order or proceedings shall thereafter be set aside and the action setting it aside shall not be timely appealed; or Payor shall file any answer admitting or not contesting the material allegations of a petition filed against Payor in any such
proceedings or fail to respond to such petition in a timely and appropriate manner; or the court in which such proceedings are pending shall enter a decree or order granting the relief sought in any such proceedings; or 

(h) sixty (60) days shall have elapsed after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Payor, of any trustee,
receiver, custodian, sequestrator, liquidator or similar official of Payor or of all or substantially all of the properties of Payor without such appointment being vacated. 
 5. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of Section 4 and during the continuance thereof, the Holder shall have the right
by notice to Payor to accelerate the payment of the principal amount and accrued interest hereon by Payor and any other amounts owing hereunder so that all such amounts are immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Payor. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (f), (g) or (h) of Section 4, without any action on the part of Holder, the principal
amount, accrued interest and any other amounts owing under this Note shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Payor. Upon an
acceleration hereof, Holder may enforce this Note by exercise of the rights and remedies granted to it by applicable law (including, without limiting any other rights, the right to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Holder or its affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Payor against any of and all the obligations of Payor now or hereafter existing under this
Note, irrespective of whether or not Holder shall have made any demand under this Note and although such obligations may be unmatured). No course of dealing and no delay on the part of 

  
 - 5 -

 
Holder in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. The rights and remedies of Holder under this
Note shall be cumulative and shall include the right to convert this Note regardless of an Event of Default by Payor. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Note upon Holder shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to
herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Payor shall pay all fees (including attorneys’ fees), expenses and court costs incurred by Holder for any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this
Note, including (i) in investigating any event which could be an Event of Default and (ii) in connection with the protection or enforcement of any of Holder’s rights in connection with this Note or the collection of any amounts due
under this Note. 
 6. Enforcement. Payor hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor. All
payments by Payor under this Note shall be made without set-off, defense or counterclaim and be free and clear and without any deduction or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature whatever, unless the obligation to make such deduction or
withholding is imposed by law. 
 7. Repurchase of This Note Upon A Designated Event. 

(a) In the event that a Designated Event shall occur, then Payor shall deliver to Holder written notice thereof at least twenty
(20) business days prior to the repurchase of this Note in full at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of this Note then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date (the
“Designated Event Repurchase Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, Holder shall have the right to convert all, or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note prior to the satisfaction of
this Note upon a Designated Event. Upon consummation of a Designated Event and the expiration of the aforesaid twenty (20) business day period, the Payor shall repurchase such portion of the principal amount of this Note then outstanding plus
accrued and unpaid interest, at the Designated Event Repurchase Price. 
 (b) Upon repurchase of this Note upon a Designated
Event, Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Payor. Payor shall maintain a record in the Note Register showing the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note repurchased and the date of the
repurchase. 
 8. Other Covenants and Agreements. 

(a) Reservation of Conversion Shares. Payor shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock (and any other securities which Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the conversion of this Note), solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of this Note, such number and type of Conversion Shares issuable
upon full conversion of this Note. All Conversion Shares shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. Payor shall not take any action which would cause the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or any other securities which Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the conversion of this Note) to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon
conversion of this Note. 
 Payor shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all Conversion Shares may be so
issued on each applicable Conversion Date without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of
issuance which shall be immediately delivered by Payor upon each such issuance). If any Conversion Shares required to be reserved for issuance upon conversion of this Note or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with
any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, Payor shall cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. So long as shares of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or
listed or quoted on any other securities exchange or market, Payor shall, at its expense, list or cause to have quoted thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing or quotation, of, all Conversion Shares from time to time issued upon
conversion of this Note or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued Conversion Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock
shall be so listed or quoted. Payor shall also so list or cause to have quoted on each securities exchange or market, and shall maintain such listing or quotation of, any other securities which Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the conversion
of this Note if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed or quoted on such securities exchange or market by Payor. 

  
 - 6 -

 (b) Certain Actions. Payor shall not by any action, including amending the
certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of Payor, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Note, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against dilution (to the extent
specifically provided herein) or impairment. 
 (c) Note Register. Payor shall cause to be kept at its principal
executive office a register (the “Note Register”) in which Payor shall record the issuance of this Note, the conversion, repurchase and prepayment of all or any portion of this Note, the transfer of this Note or any interest in this Note
and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Note Register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time. Payor is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for the
purpose of registering this Note and transfers of this Note in the Note Registrar as herein provided. Absent manifest error, the Note Registrar shall be conclusive evidence of any conversion, repurchase, repayment or transfer of all or any portion
of this Note or any interest in this Note and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate. 
 Upon surrender of this Note for
registration of a transfer thereof in the Note Registrar, Payor shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and
bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Note. This Note may be exchanged for one or more other Notes of any authorized denominations in integral multiples of $100,000 and a single Note in such smaller denomination as is necessary
to reflect any remaining outstanding part of this Note in an amount less than $100,000, upon surrender of this Note at the principal executive office of Payor. Whenever this Note is so surrendered for exchange (including pursuant to
Section 2(c)(ii) or Section 7(c)(ii)), Payor shall execute the Note or Notes which Holder is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. All Notes so issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of this Note shall be the valid obligations of Payor, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Note or Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made to Holder
for any registration of, transfer or exchange, repurchase or conversion of this Note or any interest therein. 
 (d)
Existence. Payor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business.

 (d) Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Payor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at
any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive Payor from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on
this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and Payor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted. 
 (e) Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. Upon receipt of an affidavit reasonably satisfactory to
Payor of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, Payor shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Note, a new Note of like tenor and convertible into the same number of shares of Common Stock. 
 (h) Payment of
Taxes. 
 (i) Stamp Taxes. Payor shall pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same
may become delinquent, all stamp taxes and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein in connection with the issuance, transfer or conversion of this Note. The issuance of
Conversion Shares shall be made without charge to Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by Payor. 

  
 - 7 -

 (ii) Withholding Taxes. Payor shall exclude and withhold from each payment
due under any Note any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto to the extent required by law. Holder (or its successor or permitted assign) hereby agrees to provide to Payor two properly completed and executed copies of the certificates and/or
U.S. Treasury Forms (such as Forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8IMY, or any successor forms thereto) that are required for Payor to determine whether or to what extent United States federal income withholding taxes apply to payments to Holder (or its
successor or permitted assign) hereunder. 
 9. Subordination. This Note is subject to the terms and conditions of a
Subordination/Intercreditor Agreement of even date herewith among the Holders and PNC National Bank. 
 10. Governing
Law. The terms of this Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any action against Payor or Holder, including
any action for provisional or conservatory measures or action to enforce any judgment entered by any court in respect of any thereof, may be brought in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the City of Pittsburgh in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and each of Payor and Holder irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania and in the courts hearing appeals therefrom unless no federal
subject matter jurisdiction exists, in which event, each of Payor and Holder irrevocably consents to jurisdiction and venue in any appellate courts located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in the courts hearing appeals therefrom. Each of
Payor and Holder hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Note, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Note, that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts
(whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the suit, action or proceeding in any such
court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, or that this Note, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the

otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Note, they shall be deemed to be followed by
the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Note shall refer to this Note as a whole and not to any particular provision of this
Note. All terms defined in this Note shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Note are applicable to the

means such note, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of notes or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and
references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Payor and the Holders have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Note and, in

authorship of any provision of this Note. 
 17. Severability. If any provision of this Note or the application thereof
to any person (including the officers and directors of the parties hereto) or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision
to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of
the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to Payor or Holder. Upon such determination, Payor and Holder shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute
provision to effect the original intent of Payor and Holder.

 - 28 -

 
confirmation. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche, and, if applicable, the Interest Period, which
amounts shall be in (x) integral multiples of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and not less than Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) for each Borrowing Tranche under the LIBOR Rate Option, and

in writing by letter, facsimile or telex (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt
of such written confirmation. Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such Swing Loan, which shall be not less than One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00).

 2.5 Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent; Repayment of
Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans. 
 2.5.1 Making Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative
Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the
Borrowers and the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans].
Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for
such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., on the applicable Borrowing
Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such
Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.5.1 [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent]. 
 2.5.2 Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.5.1 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, 

  
 - 29 -

 
if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the
case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment
to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any
payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

2.5.3 Making Swing Loans. So long as PNC elects to make Swing Loans, PNC shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request
pursuant to Section 2.4.2, [Swing Loan Requests] fund such Swing Loan to the Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 4:00 o’clock p.m. on the Borrowing Date. 

2.5.4 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Credit Loans together with all outstanding
interest thereon on the Expiration Date. 
 2.5.5 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans. PNC may, at its option, exercisable at
any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans,
plus, if PNC so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of Letter of Credit Obligations.
Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.4.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to
any of the requirements of that provision. PNC shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.5.5 and of the
apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.4.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] are then satisfied) by the time
PNC so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice from PNC. 
 2.5.6 Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreements. In addition to making Swing Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.5.3 [Making Swing Loans], without the requirement for a
specific request from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.4.2 [Swing Loan Requests], PNC as the Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans to the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between any Borrower and such Swing Loan
Lender relating to such Borrower’s deposit, sweep and other accounts at such Swing Loan Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding the management and investment of such Borrower’s cash assets as in effect from time to time
(the “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in such 

  
 - 30 -

 
Borrower’s accounts which are subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements. Swing Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.5.6 in accordance with the provisions of the Cash
Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to aggregate amount set forth in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment], (ii) not be subject to the limitations as to individual amount set forth in Section 2.4.2
[Swing Loan Requests], (iii) be payable by the Borrowers, both as to principal and interest, at the rates and times set forth in the Cash Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), (iv) not be made at any time
after such Swing Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to
exist, (v) if not repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each Lender’s obligation pursuant to Section 2.5.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans], and (vi) except as
provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 2. 
 2.6 Notes. The Obligation of the Borrowers to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and Term Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest
thereon, shall be evidenced by a revolving credit Note, a swing Note and a term Note, dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Swing Loan Commitment or Term Loan
Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender. 
 2.7 Use of Proceeds. The Letters of Credit and the proceeds
of the Loans shall be used (a) to provide working capital to the Borrowers, (b) for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers, including Permitted Acquisitions and costs and expenses associated with the Closing and the Acquisition,
(c) to fund the Acquisition, and (d) to refinance certain existing Indebtedness of the Borrowers. 

2.8 Letter of Credit Subfacility. 
 2.8.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. Borrowers may at any time prior to the Expiration Date request the issuance of a letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) on behalf of
itself or another Loan Party, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application and agreement
for letters of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as the Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be
agreed to by the Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be a Standby Letter of Credit (and may not be a Commercial Letter of Credit). Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, the
Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide Administrative Agent with a
copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or
more applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the

  
 - 31 -

 
agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.8, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or
extension, provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance (provided that, subject to the following clause (B), the expiration date thereof may be subject to automatic
extension), and (B) in no event expire later than the Expiration Date and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the
“Letter of Credit Sublimit”) or (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base. Each request by the Borrowers for the issuance,
amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that they shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after
giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also
deliver to Borrowing Agent and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 2.8.2
Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate, and (ii) to
the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum (in each case computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed
on the daily average Letter of Credit Obligations and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit. The Borrowers shall also pay to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole
account the Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance,
maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit. 
 2.8.3
Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of
Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. 

2.8.3.1 In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender
will promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a
“Reimbursement Obligation”) the Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 noon on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrowers shall be 

  
 - 32 -

 
deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of
the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.8.3.1 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

2.8.3.2 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.8.3.1 make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Lender an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.8.3 [Disbursement; Reimbursement]) each be deemed to have made
a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of
such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day
following the Drawing Date. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.8.3.1 above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender
to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.8.3.2. 

2.8.3.3 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option to the
Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.8.3.1, because of the Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any
other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand
(together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 2.8.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.8.3. 
 2.8.4 Repayment of Participation Advances. 

2.8.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender of immediately available funds
from the Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on
such a payment made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of 

  
 - 33 -

 
Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable
Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing
Lender. 
 2.8.4.2 If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver,
liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made
under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so
returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect
from time to time. 
 2.8.5 Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing Lender’s
application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a
conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error,
negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. 

2.8.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit
by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit. 
 2.8.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s
obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.8.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations
of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8 under all circumstances,
including the following circumstances: 
 (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender
may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever;

Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments], 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], 2.5 [Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Etc.] or 7.2 [Each Loan or
Letter of Credit] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to
make Participation Advances under Section 2.8.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement]; 
 (iii) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any
Lender against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor
beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

 (v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the
form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection
with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates has been notified thereof; 

(vi) payment by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or
certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 
 (vii) the solvency of, or any
acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic
of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit; 
 (viii) any failure by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates
to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Borrowers, unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Borrowers of such failure within three (3) Business Days after the Issuing Lender shall have furnished the
Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice; 
 (ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party; 

  
 - 35 -

 (x) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

 (xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party; 

(xii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(xiii) the fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

 (xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

2.8.8 Indemnity. The Borrowers hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Lender and any of its
Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of
counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Lender or any of Issuing Lender’s Affiliates of a
proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Official Body. 

2.8.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates,
such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be
responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any
party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates
shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or
in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions
required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;

  
 - 36 -

 
(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of
Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of
the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers
hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through
(viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation
attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing Lender or such
Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the
relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be
entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement
advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive,
or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust
any claim or demand made on the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an
“Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any
way with such Letter of Credit. 
 In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth
above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the
Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or any Lender. 
 2.8.10 Issuing Lender
Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the
date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of
Credit that the Administrative Agent may request. 

  
 - 37 -

 2.9 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees]; 

(ii) the Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders
have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]); provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote
of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (iii) if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then: 

(a) all or any part of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among
the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent that (x) the Revolving Facility Usage does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments, and
(y) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time; 
 (b) if the reallocation
described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swing Loans, and
(y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to
clause (a) above) in a deposit account held at the Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding; 
 (c) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (b) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are cash
collateralized; 
 (d) if the Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause
(a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8.2 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Share; and 
 (e) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other 

  
 - 38 -

 
Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.8.2 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender (and
not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 
 (iv) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless
such Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will be one hundred percent (100%) covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting
Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.9(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.9(iii)(a) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall
continue, or (ii) PNC or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, PNC shall not be required to fund
any Swing Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory
to PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 In the event that the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, PNC and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of
the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share. 

2.10 Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments. 

(i) Increasing Lenders and New Lenders. The Borrowers may, at any time prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date, request that (1) the

the effective date of such increase the following documents in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent: (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries (or sole member or manager, if applicable) with attached resolutions

Documents by, and enforceability of the Loan Documents against, the Loan Parties. 
 (G) Notes. The Borrowers shall
execute and deliver (1) to each Increasing Lender a replacement revolving credit Note reflecting the new amount of such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to the increase (and the prior Note issued to such
Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be terminated) and (2) to each New Lender a revolving credit Note reflecting the amount of such New Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. 

(H) Approval of New Lenders. Any New Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent in its Permitted
Discretion. 
 (I) Increasing Lenders. Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving

(A) Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. On the on the effective date of such increase, the Borrowers shall
repay all Loans then outstanding, subject to the Borrowers’ indemnity obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]; provided that they may borrow new Loans with a Borrowing Date on such date. Each of the Lenders shall participate in
any new Loans made on or after such date in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares after giving effect to the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated by this Section 2.10. 

  
 - 40 -

 (B) Outstanding Letters of Credit. Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New
Loans. On the effective date of such increase, each Increasing Lender and each New Lender (i) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable Share of such Letter of Credit and
the participation of each other Lender in such Letter of Credit shall be adjusted accordingly and (ii) will acquire, (and will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to)
its Ratable Share of all outstanding Participation Advances. 
 3. TERM LOANS 

3.1 Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and
warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrowers shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s
Term Loan Commitment. 
 3.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans; Repayment
Terms. The obligations of each Lender to make Term Loans to the Borrowers shall be in the proportion that such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment bears to the Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders to the Borrowers, but each Lender’s Term
Loan to the Borrowers shall never exceed its Term Loan Commitment. The failure of any Lender to make a Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make a Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other
Lender hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Term Loans hereunder after the Closing Date. The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrowers shall not have the right to borrow, repay and reborrow
under Section 3.1 [Term Loan Commitments]. The Term Loans shall be payable in sixteen (16) consecutive quarterly installments each in the principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00), which
installments are due and payable by the Borrowers beginning July 1, 2012 and on each Payment Date thereafter, with the final installment of the remaining principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 4. INTEREST RATES 
 4.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrowers shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by them from the Base Rate Option or LIBOR Rate Option set
forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising
different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than seven
(7) Borrowing Tranches in the 

  
 - 41 -

 
aggregate among all of the Loans and provided further that if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrowers may not request, convert to, or renew the LIBOR Rate
Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any
indemnity under Section 5.10 [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s
Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate. 
 4.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Swing Line
Interest Rate. The Borrowers shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans: 
 (i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty five (365) or three hundred sixty six (366) days, as the case
may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or 

(ii) Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days
and actual days elapsed) equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest After Default], only the
Base Rate Option applicable to Revolving Credit Loans shall apply to the Swing Loans. 
 4.1.2 Term Loan Interest Rate
Options. The Borrowers shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Term Loans: 
 (i) Term Loan Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty five (365) or three hundred sixty six (366) days, as the case may be,
and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or 

(ii) Term Loan LIBOR Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and
actual days elapsed) equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 4.1.3 Rate Quotations. The Borrowing Agent
may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made. 

4.2 Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrowers shall select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option, the
Borrowers shall notify the Administrative 

  
 - 42 -

 
Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such LIBOR Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which
such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a LIBOR Rate Option: 

4.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche. Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and not less than Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00); and 
 4.2.2 Renewals. In the case of the renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period,
without duplication in payment of interest for such day. 
 4.3 Interest After Default. To the extent
permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, and at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or upon written demand by the Required Lenders to the
Administrative Agent: 
 4.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest
for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.8.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum; 

4.3.2 Other Obligations. Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option plus an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full; and 

4.3.3 Acknowledgment. The Borrowers acknowledge that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among
other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by
Borrowers upon demand by Administrative Agent. 
 4.4 LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased
Costs; Deposits Not Available. 
 4.4.1 Unascertainable. If on any date on which a LIBOR Rate would otherwise be
determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that: 
 (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining such LIBOR Rate, or 
 (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank
eurodollar market relating to the LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights]. 

  
 - 43 -

 4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time any Lender
shall have determined that: 
 (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies has been
made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of
Law), or 
 (ii) such LIBOR Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or
maintenance of any such Loan, or 
 (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for
the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, 

then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights]. 

4.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1
[Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowing Agent thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, such
Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other
Lenders and the Borrowing Agent. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative
Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrowers to select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrowing
Agent, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.
If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrowers have previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option and
such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrowers’ indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any
Loan of the Lender to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6
[Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date. 

  
 - 44 -

 4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrowers fail to
select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest
Periods], the Borrowers shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option or Term Loan Base Rate Option, as applicable, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. 

5. PAYMENTS 
 5.1 Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from
the Borrowers hereunder shall be payable prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, and without set-off, counterclaim or other
deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the
Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in
the event payments are received by 12:00 noon by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the
Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account,
ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account
stated.” 
 5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be
allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrowers with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of
Credit Fees (but excluding the Administrative Agent’s Fee and the Issuing Lender’s fronting fee) shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative
Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or 5.8 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment
in accordance with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrowers of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts from the Borrowers with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC according to Section 2.5.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans]. 

  
 - 45 -

 5.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or
other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is
entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other
Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and
other amounts owing them, provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the
Lender or the holder making such purchase; and 
 (ii) the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply
to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary of a Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply). 
 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

5.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers
have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 - 46 -

 5.5 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate
Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer
than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 5.7 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the
principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

 5.6 Voluntary Prepayments. 
 5.6.1 Right to Prepay. The Borrowers shall have the right at their option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.6.2
[Replacement of a Lender] below, in Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity]). Whenever the Borrowers desire to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m.
at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans or no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the following information: 

(w) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made; 

(x) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing
Loans; 
 (y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between Loans to which the Base Rate
Option applies and Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies; and 
 (z) the total principal amount of such
prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of (i) the Revolving Facility Usage or (ii) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) for any Swing Loan or Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00)
for any Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan. 
 All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans
for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which
the proposed prepayment is to be made. All Term Loan prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 5.6.1 [Right to Prepay] shall be applied to the unpaid installments of principal of the Term Loans in the inverse order of scheduled maturities.
Except as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrowers prepay a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche 

  
 - 47 -

 
which the Borrowers are prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (i) first to Revolving Credit Loans and then to Term Loans; and (ii) after giving effect to the allocations in clause
(i) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrowers’ Obligation to indemnify the
Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]. 
 5.6.2 Replacement of a Lender. In the event any Lender (i) gives
notice under Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], (ii) requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in
Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers], then in any such event the Borrowers may, at their sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (i)
the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]; 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable
to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other
amounts); 
 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.8.1
[Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 5.7 Mandatory Prepayments. 

5.7.1 Borrowing Base Exceeded. Whenever the Revolving Facility Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall make, within
one (1) Business Day after the Borrowers learn of such excess and whether or not the Administrative Agent has given notice to such effect, a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to the excess of the Revolving Facility Usage over the
Borrowing Base, together with accrued interest on such principal amount. 

  
 - 48 -

 5.7.2 Sale of Assets. Within five (5) Business Days of any sale of assets
authorized by Section 8.2.7(v) [Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries] by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries when the net proceeds of such sale or the aggregate net proceeds of all such sales in any fiscal year exceed Four Million and
00/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00), the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Loans to be applied in accordance with Section 5.7.5 [Application Among Loans and Interest Rate Options] equal to such excess after-tax net
proceeds of such sale (as estimated in good faith by the Borrowing Agent), together with accrued interest on such principal amount, unless (i) no Event of Default or Potential Default then exists, and (ii) the Borrowers provide written
notice to the Administrative Agent that such Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary intends to reinvest such net proceeds for the purchase of replacement assets within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of such net proceeds. The Borrowers
shall evidence to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the replacement of such assets. In the event that such replacement has not occurred within one hundred eighty (180) days after the receipt of such net proceeds, the Borrowers shall
immediately make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Loans as required above. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale of assets otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. 

5.7.3 Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds. Within five (5) Business Days of any receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds
by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries when such proceeds or the aggregate amount of such proceeds in any fiscal year exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the
Loans to be applied in accordance with Section 5.7.5 [Application Among Loans and Interest Rate Options] equal to such excess after-tax proceeds (as estimated in good faith by the Borrowing Agent), together with accrued interest on such
principal amount, unless (i) no Event of Default or Potential Default then exists, and (ii) the Borrowers provide written notice to the Administrative Agent that such Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary intends to reinvest the insurance or
condemnation proceeds for the purchase or rebuilding of replacement assets within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after receipt of the insurance or condemnation proceeds. The Borrowers shall evidence to the Administrative Agent’s
satisfaction the rebuilding or replacement of such assets. In the event that such rebuilding or replacement has not occurred within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the receipt of such insurance or condemnation proceeds, the Borrowers
shall immediately make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Loans as required above. 
 5.7.4 Additional
Indebtedness. Within five (5) Business Days of any Loan Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ receipt of the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred by such Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary other than Indebtedness permitted under
Section 8.2.1 [Indebtedness], the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Loans to be applied in accordance with Section 5.7.5 [Application Among Loans and Interest Rate Options] equal to such after-tax proceeds (as
estimated in good faith by the Borrowing Agent), together with accrued interest on such principal amount. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such incurrence of Indebtedness otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions
hereof. 
 5.7.5 Application Among Loans and Interest Rate Options. All prepayments required pursuant to
Section 5.7.2 [Sale of Assets] through Section 5.7.4 [Additional 

  
 - 49 -

 
Indebtedness] with respect to: (i) the Mortgaged Premises (as defined in the Mortgage), shall first be applied to the Term Loans by application to the unpaid installments of principal in the
inverse order of scheduled maturities, and then to the Revolving Credit Loans; and (ii) with respect to any property other than the Mortgaged Premises, shall first be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans, and then to the Term Loans by
application to the unpaid installments of principal in the inverse order of scheduled maturities. After giving effect to the allocations in the immediately preceding sentence, all prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.7 [Mandatory
Prepayments] shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option. In accordance with Section 5.10 [Indemnity], the Borrowers
shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest
Period. 
 5.8 Increased Costs. 
 5.8.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve
requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender; 
 (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of
any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in
respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 5.9 [Taxes] and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or 

(iii) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any
of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender
or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] are subject to the following: no Lender or the Issuing
Lender shall enforce the provisions solely against any Borrower or against a few of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s customers without 

  
 - 50 -

 
in each case generally enforcing these (or similar provisions in other contracts) with respect to similarly situated borrowers (provided that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no
Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be required to disclose to any Borrower the identity of, or the nature of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s relationship with, any other of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s customers).

 5.8.2 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such
Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 5.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of
Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
Sections 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or 5.8.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered to the Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 5.8.4 Delay in Requests. Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrowing Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

5.9 Taxes. 
 5.9.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified 

  
 - 51 -

 
Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make
such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law. 
 5.9.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes] above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Official Body in accordance with applicable Law. 
 5.9.3 Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowing Agent by a Lender or the Issuing Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

5.9.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to an
Official Body, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 5.9.5 Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to
an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S.
withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full thirty percent (30%) withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence
requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations. Further, the Administrative Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any
claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver 

  
 - 52 -

 
such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender
is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) two (2) duly completed valid originals of
IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, 

(ii) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of each Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, 

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or 

(v) To the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to the Administrative Agent two (2) originals of
an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed by applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender. 
 5.10 Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.8 [Increased Costs]or Section 5.9 [Taxes], the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against all
liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate
the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any: 
 (i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or
prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due), 

  
 - 53 -

 (ii) attempt by any Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or
otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments], or

 (iii) default by any Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, including any failure of any Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder. 

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrowing Agent of the amount determined
in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or
expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given. 

5.11 Settlement Date Procedures. In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and PNC may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitments] hereof during the period between Settlement Dates. The Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”). On such Settlement Date, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the
difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit
Loans. The Administrative Agent shall also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and on [Mandatory Prepayment Dates] and may at its option effect settlement on any
other Business Day. These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates
other than a Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment]. The Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative
Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. 
 5.12 Collections; Administrative Agent’s Right to
Notify Account Debtors. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, now and at any time or times hereafter during the continuance of an Event of Default, to (i) notify any or all Account Debtors that the Accounts have been
assigned to the Lenders and that the Lenders have a security interest therein, and (ii) direct such Account Debtors to make 

  
 - 54 -

 
all payments due from them to the Borrowers upon the Accounts directly to the Administrative Agent or to a lockbox designated by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
furnish the Borrowing Agent with a copy of any such notice sent. Any such notice, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, may be sent on any Borrower’s stationery, in which event the applicable Borrower shall co-sign such notice
with the Administrative Agent. To the extent that any Law or custom or any contract or agreement with any Account Debtor requires notice to or the approval of the Account Debtor in order to perfect such assignment of a security interest in Accounts,
the Borrowers agree to give such notice or obtain such approval.

Conflict; Material Agreements; Consents. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Acquisition Documents by any Loan Party nor the consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated or

 6.1.6 Financial Statements. 

(i) Historical Statements. Universal has delivered to the Administrative Agent copies of its audited consolidated year-end
financial statements for and as of the end of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010. In addition, Universal has delivered to the Administrative Agent copies of its unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements for the fiscal year to date and as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 (all such annual and interim statements being collectively referred to as the “Statements”). The Statements were compiled from
the books and records maintained by Universal’s management, are correct and complete and fairly represent the consolidated financial condition of Universal and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations
for the fiscal periods then ended and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject (in the case of the interim statements) to normal year-end audit adjustments. 

(ii) Financial Projections. Universal has delivered to the Administrative Agent projected financial statements (including, without
limitation, statements of operations and cash flow together with a detailed explanation of the assumptions used in preparing such projected financial statements) of Universal and its Subsidiaries for the period from the Closing Date through
December 31, 2016 derived from various assumptions of Universal’s management (the “Projections”). The Projections represent a reasonable range of possible results in light of the history of the business, present and
foreseeable conditions and the intentions of Universal’s management, it being understood that such Projections are (a) as to future events and not to be viewed as facts, (b) are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond Universal’s control, and (c) no assurance can be given that the Projections will be realized. The Projections accurately reflect the approximate liabilities of Universal and its Subsidiaries upon consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and under the Acquisition Documents as of the Closing Date. 
 (iii) Accuracy of
Financial Statements. Neither Universal nor any Subsidiary of Universal has any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, or forward or long-term commitments that are not disclosed in the Statements or in the notes thereto that would be required to
be disclosed under GAAP, and except as disclosed therein there are no unrealized or anticipated losses from any commitments of Universal or any Subsidiary of Universal that would be required to be disclosed under GAAP and which could reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2010, no Material Adverse Change has occurred. 
 6.1.7
Margin Stock. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party engages or intends to engage principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, immediately, incidentally or
ultimately, of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U, T or X as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any Loan has been or will be used, immediately,
incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or which is inconsistent with the provisions of the regulations of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party holds or intends to hold margin stock in such amounts that more than twenty five percent (25%) of the reasonable value of the assets of any Loan Party or
Subsidiary of any Loan Party are or will be represented by margin stock. 

  
 - 57 -

 6.1.8 Full Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of
the Acquisition Documents, nor any certificate, statement, agreement or other documents furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection herewith or therewith, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There is no fact known to any Loan Party which materially adversely affects the business,
property, assets, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party which has not been set forth in this Agreement or in the certificates, statements, agreements or other documents furnished in
writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to or at the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 6.1.9 Taxes. All federal, state, local and other tax returns required to have been filed with respect to each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party have been filed, and payment or
adequate provision has been made for the payment of all taxes, fees, assessments and other governmental charges which have or may become due pursuant to said returns or to assessments received, except to the extent that (a) the amount thereof

state Laws. Each Pension Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect
thereto and, to the best knowledge of each Loan Party, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Each Loan Party and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Multiemployer Plan and
each Pension Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Pension Plan.

(b) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of
ERISA); (c) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability)

6.1.14 Environmental Matters. Each Loan Party is and, to the knowledge of each respective Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries
is and has been in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws except as disclosed on Schedule 6.1.14; provided that such matters so disclosed could not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. 

6.1.15 Solvency. Before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the
Acquisition Documents, including all Indebtedness incurred thereby, the Liens granted by the Loan Parties in connection therewith and the payment of all fees related thereto, each of the Loan Parties is Solvent. 

6.1.16 Acquisition Documents. The Administrative Agent has received complete copies of the Acquisition Documents (including all
exhibits, schedules and disclosure letters referred to therein or delivered pursuant thereto, if any) and all amendments thereto, waivers relating thereto and other side letters or agreements affecting the terms thereof, in form and substance

8.1 Affirmative Covenants. 
 8.1.1 Preservation of Existence, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain its legal existence as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability
company and its license or qualification and good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the nature of its business makes such license or qualification necessary, except as otherwise expressly permitted in
Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Etc.] and except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed or qualified and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. 

8.1.2 Payment of Liabilities, Including Taxes, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly pay
and discharge all liabilities to which it is subject or which are asserted against it, promptly as and when the same shall become due and payable (subject, where applicable, to specified grace periods and, in the case of trade payables, to normal
payment practices), including all taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon it or any of its properties, assets, income or profits, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except to the extent that such liabilities, including
taxes, assessments or charges, are being contested in good faith and by appropriate and lawful proceedings diligently conducted and for which such reserve or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been made.

 8.1.3 Maintenance of Insurance. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, insure its
properties and assets against loss or damage by fire and such other insurable hazards as such assets are commonly insured (including fire, extended coverage, property damage, workers’ compensation, public liability and business interruption
insurance) and against other risks (including errors and omissions) in such amounts as similar properties and assets are insured by prudent companies in similar circumstances carrying on similar businesses, and with reputable and financially sound
insurers, including self-insurance to the extent customary, all as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. The Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders (x) on the Closing Date and annually
thereafter an original certificate of insurance signed by the Loan Parties’ independent insurance broker describing and certifying as to the existence of the insurance on the Collateral required to be maintained by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, together with a copy of the endorsement described in the next sentence attached to such certificate and (y) from time to time a summary schedule indicating all insurance then in force with respect to each of the Loan Parties.
Such policies of insurance shall contain endorsements, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which shall (i) specify the Administrative Agent as an additional insured, mortgagee and lender loss payee as its
interests may appear, with the understanding that any obligation imposed upon the insured (including the liability to pay 

  
 - 64 -

 
premiums) shall be the sole obligation of the applicable Loan Parties and not that of the insured, (ii) provide that the interest of the Lenders shall be insured regardless of any breach or
violation by the applicable Loan Parties of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies or any action or inaction of the applicable Loan Parties or others insured under such policies, (iii) provide a waiver of any
right of the insurers to set off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, (iv) provide that any and all rights of subrogation which the insurers may have or acquire shall be, at all times and in all respects,
junior and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Indebtedness hereunder and that no insurer shall exercise or assert any right of subrogation until such time as the Indebtedness hereunder has been paid in full and the Commitments have
terminated, (v) provide, except in the case of public liability insurance and workmen’s compensation insurance, that all insurance proceeds for losses shall be adjusted with and payable to the Administrative Agent, (vi) include
effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against the Administrative Agent, (vii) provide that no cancellation of such policies for any reason (including non-payment of premium) nor any change therein shall be
effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such cancellation or change, (viii) be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of any
additional insureds with respect to their respective interests in the Collateral, and (ix) provide that inasmuch as the policy covers more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (except limits of
liability) shall operate as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. The applicable Loan Parties shall notify the Agent promptly of any occurrence causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral and the estimated (or
actual, if available) amount of such loss or decline. Any monies received by the Administrative Agent constituting insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds (a) to the extent not required to be made as a mandatory prepayment by the Borrowers
in accordance with Section 5.7.3 [Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds], shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, and (b) to the extent required to be made as a mandatory prepayment by the Borrowers in accordance with
Section 5.7.3 [Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds], may, at the option of the Administrative Agent, (1) be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of the Loans in such manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, or
(2) be disbursed to the applicable Loan Parties on such terms as are deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the repair, restoration and/or replacement of property in respect of which such proceeds were received.

repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) in accordance with the general practice of other businesses of similar character and size, all of those properties useful or necessary to its business, and from time to time, such
Loan Party will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals or replacements thereof.

an Event of Default has not occurred, each Lender shall provide the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent with reasonable 

  
 - 65 -

 
notice prior to any visit or inspection. In the event any Lender desires to conduct an audit of any Loan Party, such Lender shall make a reasonable effort to conduct such visit contemporaneously
with any visit to be performed by the Administrative Agent.

Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep proper books of record and account which enable such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries to issue financial statements in accordance with GAAP and as otherwise required by

affairs. 
 8.1.7 Compliance with Laws; Use of Proceeds. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, comply with all applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, in all respects; provided that it shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.1.7 if any failure to comply with any Law would not result in fines, penalties,
remediation costs, other similar liabilities or injunctive relief which in the aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse Change. The Loan Parties will use the Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Loans only in accordance with
Section 2.7 [Use of Proceeds] and as permitted by applicable Law. 
 8.1.8 Further Assurances. Each Loan Party
shall, from time to time, at its expense, faithfully preserve and protect the Administrative Agent’s Lien on and Prior Security Interest in the Collateral and all other real and personal property of the Loan Parties whether now owned or
hereafter acquired as a continuing first priority perfected Lien, subject only to Permitted Liens, and shall do such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion may deem necessary or advisable from time to time in
order to preserve, perfect and protect the Liens granted under the Loan Documents and to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies thereunder with respect to the Collateral.

business under Executive Order No. 13224 or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, (ii) engaged in any business involved in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of such a Person or in any
transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) otherwise in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law. The Loan Parties shall provide to the Lenders any

incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative 

  
 - 78 -

 
Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties
or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by
it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Sections 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] and 9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or the Issuing Lender. 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or 

  
 - 79 -

 
conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt
of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 10.4 Reliance by Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that
by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights
and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrowing Agent. Upon receipt of any
such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrowing Agent (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that if the Administrative 

  
 - 80 -

 
Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative
Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.6. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in
this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed among the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

If PNC resigns as Administrative Agent under this Section 10.6, PNC shall also resign as an Issuing Lender. Upon the appointment of
a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as the retiring Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its
respective duties and obligations as Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by PNC, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession
or make other arrangement satisfactory to PNC to effectively assume the obligations of PNC with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any

REPRESENTATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

11.12 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for
itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the
name and address of Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

 11.13 Payment of Debt; Joint and Several Obligations; Borrowing
Agency. 
 11.13.1 Borrowers. The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations under this
Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all actions, inactions or omissions by any one or more, or all, of the Borrowers in
connection with, related to or otherwise affecting this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents are the obligations of, and inure to and are binding upon, each and all of the Borrowers, jointly and severally. 

11.13.2 Designation of Borrowing Agent; Nature of Borrowing Agency. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates the Borrowing
Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower or
Borrowers, and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of the Borrowing Agent. The handling of this credit facility as a
co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at their request. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender shall incur no liability to the
Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender and holds each
of them harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the
handling of the financing arrangements of the Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Lender on any request or instruction from the Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Lender with respect to this Section 11.13.2 [Designation of Borrowing Agent, Etc.] except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). 
 11.14 Additional Waivers of Borrowers. Each
Borrower hereby waives to the full extent permitted by Law any defense it may otherwise have to the payment and performance of the Obligations based on any contention that its liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is limited and not
joint and several. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers and those set forth below serve as a material inducement to the agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make the Loans, and that the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders are relying on each specific waiver and all such waivers in entering into this Agreement. The undertakings of each Borrower hereunder secure the Obligations of itself and the other Borrowers. Each Borrower further agrees that:

 (i) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may do any of the following with notice to such Borrower and without adversely
affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Obligations (or any portion thereof): (i) release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settle the Obligations or any portion thereof, with respect to any other Borrower;
(ii) change, renew or waive the terms of the Obligations, or any part thereof with respect to any other Borrower; (iii) change, renew or waive the terms of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements relating to the Obligations, or
any portion thereof, with respect to any other Borrower; (iv) grant any extension or indulgence with respect to the payment or performance of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, with respect to any other Borrower; (v) enter into any
agreement of forbearance with respect to the Obligations, or any portion thereof, with respect to any other Borrower; and (vi) release, surrender, exchange, impair or compromise any security of any other Borrower held by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender for the Obligations or any portion thereof. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may do any of the above as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders deem necessary or advisable, in the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ sole discretion, without giving notice to any other Borrower, and that such Borrower will remain liable for full payment and performance of the Obligations; and 

  
 - 93 -

 (ii) each Borrower waives and agrees not to enforce any of the rights of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders against any other Borrower or any other obligor of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or any Collateral securing the same unless and until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Borrowers’ rights to borrow hereunder have terminated, including but not limited to any right of such Borrower to be subrogated in whole or in part to any right or claim of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the
Obligations or any portion thereof. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that following the occurrence of any Event of Default which has not been waived by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, such Borrower shall not enforce any rights of
contribution, indemnity or reimbursement from any other Borrower on account of such Borrower’s payment of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, unless and until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Borrowers’ rights to borrow hereunder have terminated. Each of the Borrowers hereby waives any defenses based on suretyship or impairment of Collateral or the like. 

11.15 Relative Priority of Security Interests; Limitation of Certain Liabilities. To the extent any portion of the
Obligations of a Borrower may be determined by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be in the nature of the obligations of a surety (the “Suretyship Portion”), any security interests in the assets of such Borrower
securing the Suretyship Portion shall be subordinate to the security interests in the assets securing the remaining portion of the Obligations. If the Suretyship Portion would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable on
account of its amount, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the Borrowers or any other Persons, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. 

  
 - 94 -

 11.16 Joinder. Any Subsidiary of any Loan Party which is required to
join this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures] or Section 8.2.6(ii) [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions] shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a
Borrower Joinder or a Guarantor Joinder, as determined by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) documents in the forms described in Section 7.1 [First Loans and Letters of Credit] that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require, modified
as appropriate to relate to such Subsidiary, including, without limitation, organizational documents, legal opinions and documents necessary to grant and perfect Prior Security Interests to the Administrative Agent (for its benefit and for the
benefit of the Lenders) in all Collateral held by such Subsidiary; provided, however, to the extent such Subsidiary becomes a Borrower, none of such assets which become Collateral shall be included in the Borrowing Base in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement until such time as the Administrative Agent makes such a determination in its sole discretion. In addition, the applicable Loan Party forming or acquiring such Subsidiary shall pledge the capital stock, shares of beneficial
interest, partnership interests or limited liability company interests, as applicable, of such Subsidiary owned by such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to a Pledge Agreement. The Loan Parties shall
deliver such Borrower Joinder or Guarantor Joinder, as applicable, and all related documents required by this Section 11.16 [Joinder] to the Administrative Agent (a) with respect to any Subsidiary incorporated or otherwise formed pursuant
to Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures], within five (5) Business Days after the date of the filing of such Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation if the Subsidiary is a corporation, the date of the filing of
its certificate of limited partnership if it is a limited partnership or the date of its organization if it is an entity other than a limited partnership or corporation, or (b) with respect to any Subsidiary acquired pursuant to
Section 8.2.6(ii) [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions], on or prior to the date of consummation of the applicable Permitted Acquisition.

 For purposes of determining the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate:

 (a) The Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be determined on the Closing Date based on the
Leverage Ratio computed on such date pursuant to the Closing Compliance Certificate. 
 (b) The Applicable Margin and the
Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date based on the Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin or the Applicable
Letter of Credit Fee Rate computed as of a quarter end shall be effective on the date on which the Compliance Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under 

 
Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of Universal]. If a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section 8.3.3, then the rates in Level V shall apply as of the
first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered. 

(c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Loan Parties or for any other reason,
the Loan Parties or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Loan Parties as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for
such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed
entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the
amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as
the case may be, under Section 2.8 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] or 4.3 [Interest After Default] or 9 [Default]. The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all
other Obligations hereunder.

 SCHEDULE 1.1(D) 

QUALIFIED ACCOUNTS 
 Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of each Schedule of Accounts, the Administrative Agent shall make a determination, in its Permitted Discretion, as to which Accounts listed thereon shall be
deemed Qualified Accounts. An Account of any Borrower shall not be considered a Qualified Account unless the Administrative Agent determines, in its Permitted Discretion, that such Account has met the following minimum requirements: 

(i) the Account represents a complete bona fide transaction for goods sold and delivered or services rendered (but excluding any amounts
in the nature of a service charge added to the amount due on an invoice because the invoice has not been paid when due) which requires no further act under any circumstances on the part of such Borrower to make such Account payable by the Account
Debtor; the Account arises from an arm’s-length transaction in the ordinary course of such Borrower’s business between such Borrower and an Account Debtor which is not an Affiliate of any Borrower or an officer, stockholder or employee of
the Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower, or a member of the family of an officer, stockholder or employee of any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower; 
 (ii) the Account shall not (a) be or have been unpaid more than ninety (90) days from the invoice date, (b) be delinquent more than sixty (60) days, or (c) be payable by an
Account Debtor (1) more than fifty percent (50%) of whose Accounts from such Account Debtor are not deemed Qualified Accounts hereunder, or (2) whose Accounts constitute, in the Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion, an
unduly high percentage of the aggregate amount of all outstanding Accounts; 
 (iii) all covenants, representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement with respect to such Account has been complied with; 
 (iv) the goods or services the
sale of which gave rise to the Account were shipped or delivered or provided to the Account Debtor on an absolute sale basis and not on a bill and hold sale basis, a consignment sale basis, a guaranteed sale basis, a sale or return basis, or on
the basis of any other similar understanding, and no part of such goods has been returned or rejected; 
 (v) the Account is not
evidenced by chattel paper or an instrument of any kind; 
 (vi) the Account Debtor with respect to the Account (a) is
Solvent, (b) is not the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any kind or of any other proceeding or action, threatened or pending, which might have a materially adverse effect on its business, and (c) is not, in the
Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent, deemed ineligible for credit for other reasons (including, without limitation, unsatisfactory past experiences of the Borrowers or any of the Lenders with the Account Debtor or unsatisfactory
reputation of the Account Debtor); 

 (vii) (a) the Account Debtor is not located outside the continental United States of America
and Canada or (b) if the Account Debtor is located outside the continental United States and Canada, the Account is supported by a letter of credit or FICA insurance deemed adequate and acceptable by the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, notwithstanding the foregoing, otherwise Qualified Accounts where the Account Debtor is located outside the continental United States and Canada and is not supported by a letter of credit or FICA insurance deemed adequate and
acceptable by the Administrative Agent shall only be excluded from Qualified Accounts to the extent they exceed, singularly or in the aggregate, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) Four Million and 00/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00) or
(ii) ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base on any applicable date of determination;

(viii) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Assignment by the Grantor will not violate any provision of any contractual obligation to which the Grantor is a party or upon any of its assets and will not result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any of the assets of the Grantor except as contemplated by this Assignment. 
 8. Without receiving
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Grantor (i) will not assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any of its right, title or interest in, to or under the Purchase Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to anyone other than the

  
 - 3 -

 
Administrative Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders), its successors or assigns; (ii) will not enter into any agreement amending, modifying, restating, renewing or
supplementing the Purchase Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; (iii) will not consent or agree to any act or omission to act on the part of any party to the Purchase Agreement or the Escrow Agreement that, without such consent or agreement,
would constitute a default thereunder; (iv) will deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each demand, notice, communication or document (except those received in the ordinary course of business) delivered to it in any way relating to the
Purchase Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; and (v) will not grant any material consents or waivers under the Purchase Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. 
 9. Any provision of this Assignment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

signed by the party to be charged. The terms of this Assignment shall be binding on the Grantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders), its successors

FORM OF 

GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT 
 IN CONSIDERATION of credit granted or to be granted by PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”) and various other financial institutions from time to time (PNC Bank and such other financial
institutions are each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated of even date herewith (as may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), by and among Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Universal”), Dunkirk Specialty Steel, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Dunkirk”) and North Jackson Specialty
Steel, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“North Jackson”) (Universal, Dunkirk, and North Jackson are each, a “Debtor” and collectively, the “Debtors”), the Guarantors (as defined therein) party thereto, the
Lenders party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”), intending to be legally bound hereby, and to induce the Lenders to maintain or extend credit
to the Debtors, USAP Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), this 18th day of August, 2011, hereby jointly and severally with each of the other Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement): 
 1. Becomes an absolute and unconditional guarantor and surety as though it were a primary obligor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their respective successors, endorsees and assigns, for
(i) the prompt payment and performance when due (whether at maturity, by declaration, acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations including, without limitation, all existing and future liabilities and obligations of the Debtors to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including, without limitation, all extensions, modifications, renewals thereof and substitutions therefor, whether absolute or contingent, direct or indirect, matured or unmatured, sole, joint or several, of any
nature whatsoever, without regard to the validity, enforceability or regularity thereof including, without limitation, continuing interest thereon in accordance with the terms thereof and all expenses (including any legal expenses) incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights with regard to or collecting against the Guarantor under this Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement (“Agreement”) and (ii) the due and punctual performance of and/or compliance
with all of the terms, conditions and covenants contained in each of the Credit Agreement, the Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to be performed or complied with by the
Debtors and the accuracy of the Debtors’ representations and warranties contained in each of the Loan Documents (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Debtor Liabilities”), whether or not such Debtor Liabilities or any portion
thereof shall hereafter be released or discharged or is for any reason invalid or unenforceable (capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them therein unless otherwise
defined in this Agreement); 
 2. Assents to all agreements made or to be made between the Administrative Agent or any Lender
and any other Person(s) liable, either absolutely or contingently, on any of the Debtor Liabilities, including any and all such agreements made by the Debtors and any co-maker, endorser, pledgor, surety or guarantor (any such Person being
hereinafter referred to as an “Obligor”), and further agrees that the Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be reduced or diminished by such agreements in any way; 

 3. Consents and agrees that its obligations and liabilities hereunder shall in no way be
reduced, limited, waived or released if any other Person or Persons is presently or in the future becomes a surety or guarantor in regard to the Debtor Liabilities or any other liabilities among the Debtors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders;

 4. Consents that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at their option, without in any way affecting the
Guarantor’s liability hereunder: (i) exchange, surrender or release any or all collateral security or any endorsement, guaranty or surety held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for any of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) renew,
extend, modify, supplement, amend, release, alter or compromise the terms of any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; and (iii) waive or fail to perfect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights or remedies against the Debtors
or the collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities; and 
 5. Warrants that the address specified on the signature
page hereof, immediately below the Guarantor’s name, is the Guarantor’s true and correct address, and agrees to notify the Administrative Agent, in the manner hereinafter specified, within three (3) days after any change in the
Guarantor’s address. 
 CONTINUING GUARANTOR. This Agreement shall be a continuing one and shall continue in full
force and effect until (subject to the terms and conditions of the Section of this Agreement entitled Bankruptcy of the Debtors), all Debtor Liabilities and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents have been paid and performed in
full, and all Commitments have terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to terminate or revoke this Agreement. 

EXTENT OF GUARANTOR’S LIABILITY. This Agreement shall be and it is intended to be an absolute and unconditional guaranty and
suretyship for the aggregate of the Debtor Liabilities including, but not limited to, the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes. The Administrative Agent may apply any payment received on account of the Debtor Liabilities in such order as the Lenders,
in their sole discretion, may elect. 
 This Agreement shall be the joint and several obligations of the Guarantor and the other
Guarantors and it is intended to be an absolute and unconditional guaranty and suretyship for the Debtor Liabilities including, but not limited to, the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes; provided, however, that the Guarantor’s total liability
hereunder shall be limited as set forth below. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement, when construed collectively with the obligations of the other Guarantors, are intended to be the joint and several obligations of the Guarantor and
the other Guarantors for the aggregate of the maximum liability of the Guarantor as set forth below. 
 Subject to the remainder
of this paragraph, but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement shall not exceed the sum of (i) that portion of the Debtor Liabilities, the
proceeds of which are used by any Debtor to make Valuable Transfers (as hereinafter defined) to 

  
 - 2 -

 
the Guarantor, plus (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the Adjusted Net Worth (as hereinafter defined), but only to the extent that Adjusted Net Worth is a positive number, of the
Guarantor at the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph: 
 “Adjusted Net Worth” shall
mean, as of any date of determination thereof, the excess of (i) the amount of the fair saleable value of the assets of the Guarantor as of the date of such determination, determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws
governing determinations of insolvency of debtors, over (ii) the amount of all liabilities of the Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, as of the date of such determination, determined on the basis provided in the preceding clause (i), in all
events prior to giving effect to Valuable Transfers. 
 “Valuable Transfers” shall mean (a) all
loans, advances, other credit accommodations, or capital contributions made to the Guarantor with proceeds of the Loans, (b) the amount of Letters of Credit Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued to support the obligations or
Indebtedness of the Guarantor, (c) all debt securities or other obligations or Indebtedness of the Guarantor acquired from the Guarantor or retired, redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Guarantor with proceeds of any Loans or of any Letters
of Credit issued to support the obligations or Indebtedness of the Guarantor, (d) all equity securities of the Guarantor acquired from the Guarantor with the proceeds of any Loans or of any drawings on Letters of Credit issued to support the
obligations of the Guarantor, (e) the fair market value of all property acquired with proceeds of the Loans or of any drawings on Letters of Credit issued to support the obligations or Indebtedness of the Guarantor and transferred to the
Guarantor, (f) the interest on and the fees in respect of the Loans, the proceeds of which are used to make such a Valuable Transfer, and (g) the value of any quantifiable economic benefits not included in clauses (a) through
(f) above, but includable in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, accruing to the Guarantor as a result of the Loans or the Letters of Credit Outstanding. 

The Guarantor agrees that the Debtor Liabilities may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum liability of the Guarantor
hereunder without impairing this Agreement or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder. No payment or payments made by any Debtor, the Guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Debtor, the 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 Debtor
Liabilities shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement and the Guarantor shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments made to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender by the Guarantor or payments received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Guarantor), remain liable for the Debtor Liabilities up to the maximum liability amount of the Guarantor set forth in this
paragraph until the Debtor Liabilities are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Loans are terminated according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, all Letters of Credit have either expired or have been cancelled and all Lender Provided Interest
Rate Hedges have either expired or have been terminated; provided, however, that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Guarantor’s liability under this paragraph exceed the

  
 - 3 -

 
maximum amount that, after giving effect to the incurring of the obligations hereunder and to any rights to contribution of the Guarantor from any Debtor and other affiliates of any Debtor, would
not render the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ right to payment hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law; and further provided that if a greater amount of the Debtor Liabilities than the
maximum liability set forth in this paragraph could be repaid by the Guarantor as a result of an increase in the Guarantor’s Adjusted Net Worth subsequent to the date of this Agreement, without rendering the Administrative Agent’s and the
Lenders’ right to payment hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law, then the amount of the Guarantor’s maximum liability calculated in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be calculated based
upon the Guarantor’s Adjusted Net Worth on such later date, rather than the date of execution of this Agreement. 

UNCONDITIONAL LIABILITY. The Guarantor’s liability hereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be reduced, limited,
waived, or released in any way by reason of: (i) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to obtain, retain, preserve, perfect or enforce any rights against any Person (including without limitation, any Obligor) or in any property
securing any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) the invalidity or irregularity of any such rights that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may attempt to obtain; (iii) any delay in enforcing or any failure to enforce such rights,
even if such rights are thereby lost; (iv) any delay in making demand on any Obligor for payment or performance of any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; or (v) from time to time, the payment in full and subsequent incurring of any Debtor
Liabilities. 
 RIGHT OF SET-OFF. As security for the prompt payment when due on the liabilities of the Guarantor
hereunder, the Guarantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a lien and security interest in all property of the Guarantor now or at any later time in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s possession in any
capacity including, but not limited to, any balance or share of any deposit account, or otherwise, now or hereafter owed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from time to time to the Guarantor in any regard or in any capacity, and whether or
not then due. Such lien and security interest shall be independent of any right of setoff that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have. If any liability of the Guarantor hereunder is not paid to the Administrative Agent when due, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may forthwith: (i) set-off against the liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder all moneys owed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the Guarantor in any capacity, whether or not then due, and whether
provisionally or finally credited upon the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ books and records; and (ii) sell all or any part of any such property held as collateral on or at the option of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, at any time or times without advertisement, demand or notice to the Guarantor (any and all of which are hereby waived), except such notice, if any, as may be required by Law and cannot be waived, with the right on the part of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective nominees to become the purchasers thereof at any such sale, free of any equity of redemption and of all other claims. 
 WAIVER. The Guarantor hereby waives all notice with respect to the present existence or future incurrence of any Debtor Liabilities including, but not limited to, the amount, terms and conditions
thereof. The Guarantor hereby consents to the taking of, or failure to take, from time to time, any action of any nature whatsoever permitted by Law with respect to the Debtor 

  
 - 4 -

 
Liabilities and with respect to any rights against any Person or Persons (including, without limitation, any Obligor), or in any property including, without limitation, any renewals, extensions,
modifications, postponements, compromises, indulgences, waivers, surrenders, exchanges and releases, and the Guarantor will remain fully liable hereunder notwithstanding any or all of the foregoing. The granting of an express written release of the
Guarantor’s liability hereunder or any other Obligor’s liability shall be effective only with respect to the liability hereunder of the Guarantor or Obligor who is specifically so expressly released but shall in no way affect the liability
hereunder of the Guarantor or any Obligor not so expressly released. The dissolution of the Guarantor, or any other Obligor, shall in no way affect the liability hereunder or that of any other Obligor. The Guarantor hereby expressly waives:
(i) notices of acceptance hereof; (ii) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of default in connection with the Debtor Liabilities, dishonor or notice of dishonor; (iii) any right of indemnification; and (iv) any defense
arising by reason of any disability or other defense whatsoever to the liability of the Debtors, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or in discharge of, the Guarantor with respect to its obligations
hereunder, excepting only full, strict, and indefeasible payment and performance of the Debtor Liabilities in full. 
 No
payment by the Guarantor shall entitle any other Obligor, by subrogation, contribution, indemnification or otherwise, to succeed to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including rights to any payment made on account of the
Debtor Liabilities, regardless of the source of such payment, and the Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, contribution, indemnification or other rights to be reimbursed, made whole or otherwise compensated by any other Obligor with respect
to any payments made hereunder, until all of the Debtors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents are satisfied in full and are not subject to any right of disgorgement and the Commitments are
terminated. The Guarantor hereby waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any failure or refusal by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
perfect an interest in any collateral security. 
 BANKRUPTCY OF THE DEBTORS. Neither the Guarantor’s obligations to
make payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement hereof shall be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any Debtor’s bankruptcy or by any impairment,
modification, change, release or limitation of (i) the liability of each Debtor, any Person assuming the obligations of each Debtor under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any Debtor’s estate in bankruptcy or
(ii) any remedy for the enforcement of the Debtor Liabilities, either of which result from the operation of any present or future provision of any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause or from the decision of any court. The Guarantor agrees
that to the extent that any Debtor or any other Obligor makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside and/or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, the Debtor Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. 

  
 - 5 -

 PAYMENT OF COSTS. In addition to all other liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder,
the Guarantor also agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) which may be incurred in the enforcement or collection of the liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder.

 PRIMARY LIABILITY OF THE GUARANTOR. The Guarantor agrees that this Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Loan Documents, or any collateral now or hereafter securing the
Debtor Liabilities or otherwise, and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other Obligor or to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or
enforce any other right. The Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from suing on the Loan Documents, or any of them, or foreclosing their Lien, if any, on any collateral
hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or from exercising any other rights available under the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security if neither the Debtors nor the Guarantor timely perform the obligations of the Debtors thereunder,
and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any of the obligations of the Guarantor thereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional. Neither the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any
manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any Debtor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Debtor. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Debtor is
stayed upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Debtor, amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Loan Documents including, without limitation, interest at the rates set forth in the Credit Agreement occurring after the date

 RIGHTS OF THE GUARANTOR. All rights and remedies of the Guarantor against any Debtor
or any property of any Debtor or any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities, whether arising by promissory note, subrogation, security agreement, mortgage or otherwise, shall in all respects be and remain subordinate and junior in
right of payment and priority to the prior and indefeasible payment in full to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of all Debtor Liabilities and to the priority of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in any property of any Debtor and any
collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities. Any amount which may have been paid to the Guarantor on account of any Indebtedness of any Debtor to the Guarantor, or on account of any subrogation or other rights of the Guarantor against any
Debtor, when all of the Debtor Liabilities shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied

Debtor or any other Person, all rights granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in such agreement(s) shall be deemed to be cumulative and this Agreement shall not, in such event, be deemed to be cancelled, superseded, terminated or in any
way limited.

herewith or with the Credit Agreement to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is accurate and complete and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP. There has been no Material Adverse Change since the date of such information. The Guarantor has

 MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s successors, assigns and other legal representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, their respective endorsers, successors and assigns forever. If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. All matters arising hereunder shall be governed by the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to
the conflicts of laws thereof, and the parties hereto agree to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in Allegheny County and the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania

 (ii) the receipt by any Indemnitor, or any tenant, subtenant or occupant of any portion of
the Premises of any Environmental Complaint; 
 (iii) any violation affecting any portion of the Premises of any Environmental
Law; and 
 (iv) any claim or claims made against any Indemnitor or any portion of the Premises relating to damage,
contribution, cost of recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Contamination affecting any portion of the Premises. 
 8. Except as set forth in the Report, the Indemnitors certify that, to the best of their knowledge, as of the date of this Indemnity Agreement, no report, analysis, study or other document prepared by or

 9. The Indemnitors, at their
sole expense, shall conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and all removal and other actions necessary to clean up and remove all Regulated Substances and any other Contamination on, under, from or affecting any
portion of the Premises if and when required by and in accordance with any applicable Environmental Law to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the orders and directives of all Official Bodies. The Indemnitors shall at
all times keep the Premises free of any Lien imposed by any Official Body pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law. 
 10.
The Indemnitors shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective employees, agents, officers and directors from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities,
settlements, damages, costs or expenses of whatever kind or nature, including attorneys’ fees, fees of environmental consultants and laboratory fees, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of or in any way related to:
(i) the Contamination of any portion of the Premises or the soil, water, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons or animals thereon; (ii) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal)
arising out of or related to such Contamination of any portion of the Premises; (iii) any Environmental Complaint; (iv) any violation of Environmental Law; and/or (v) the breach of any warranty, representation or covenant of any
Indemnitor contained in this Indemnity Agreement. 
 11. The Indemnitors agree that in the event that the Mortgage is foreclosed
(whether judicially or by power of sale), or in the event a deed in lieu of foreclosure is tendered, the Indemnitors shall deliver such portion of the Premises to the Administrative Agent (or shall cause all tenants of such portion of the Premises
to deliver, to the extent required by applicable Environmental Law) free of any and all Contamination so that the condition of such Premises shall conform with all applicable Environmental Laws affecting such Premises. The obligations of the
Indemnitors as set forth in this Paragraph 11 are made strictly for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective successors and assigns and shall not in any way impair or affect the Administrative Agent’s right to
foreclose against applicable portions of the Premises. 

  
 - 4 -

 12. The Administrative Agent’s rights under this Indemnity Agreement shall be in
addition to all rights granted to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under the other Loan Documents. Any default by any Indemnitor under this Indemnity Agreement (including, without limitation, any breach of any representation or warranty
made by any Indemnitor) shall, at the Administrative Agent’s option, constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 13. In addition to the other remedies provided to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in the Credit Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, should any Indemnitor fail to abide by the
terms and covenants of this Indemnity Agreement, after having been requested by the Administrative Agent to do so, and having not so complied after such request, the Administrative Agent may, should it elect to do so, cause the removal of any
Contamination located on any portion of the Premises. In such event, all funds expended by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in connection with the removal of such Contamination or the clean-up of such Contamination including, but not
limited to, all attorneys’ fees, engineering fees, consultant fees, and similar charges, shall become a part of the Obligations secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and shall be due and payable by the Indemnitors on demand.
Promptly upon the request of the Indemnitors, the Administrative Agent shall provide supporting invoices for such expenditures. Each disbursement made by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders pursuant to this provision shall bear interest at
the interest rate provided in Section 4.3 [Interest After Default] of the Credit Agreement from the date the funds are advanced by the Administrative Agent until paid in full by the Indemnitors. The Indemnitors shall permit the Administrative
Agent and its agents and employees access to the Premises for any purpose consistent with this provision. In the event that any Indemnitor fails to remove or clean-up, within a reasonable period of time or the time required under any applicable
Environmental Law, any Contamination on the Premises and fails to undertake, within a reasonable period of time or the time required under any applicable Environmental Law, such other Remedial Action as may be required by applicable Environmental
Law with respect to any damage or Contamination to the Premises, the Indemnitors hereby grant to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders and their agents and employees the full right and authority to remove any Contamination from the Premises,
and clean-up or undertake such other Remedial Action as may be required by applicable Environmental Law with respect to any damage to the Premises if such Contamination or damage is in violation of Environmental Law. 

14. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonable cause to suspect that any Indemnitor has failed to comply with the
terms of this Indemnity Agreement, or shall have reasonable cause to suspect that any Contamination exists on any portion of the Premises in violation of Law, the Administrative Agent may cause the Indemnitors to obtain an environmental audit of the
Premises and if the Indemnitors fail to do so, the Administrative Agent may obtain an environmental audit of the Premises at the sole expense of the Indemnitors. The nature and scope of the environmental audit shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. The Indemnitors shall permit the Administrative Agent and its agents and employees access to the Premises for the purpose of conducting the environmental audit, and shall otherwise reasonably
cooperate and provide such additional information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent or its agents and employees. The Indemnitors shall immediately (i) correct all violations of Environmental Law identified in such environmental
audit and (ii) implement all recommendations contained in the environmental audit including, 

  
 - 5 -

 
but not limited to, any recommendations for additional testing or studies to detect the presence of Contamination on any portion of the Premises at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitors.
In the event that the Indemnitors fail to pay for the cost of the environmental audit or any Remedial Actions or additional testing recommended thereby, the Administrative Agent may pay for the same. Each such payment made by the Administrative
Agent shall become a part of the Obligations secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, shall be due and payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the lower of either the highest default rate of interest established in
Section 4.3 [Interest After Default] of the Credit Agreement or the maximum rate allowed by Law until paid in full by the Indemnitors. 
 15. The liability under this Indemnity Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extension of time for performance required by any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any sale,
assignment or foreclosure of any Note or the Mortgage or any sale or transfer of all or part of the Premises; (iii) the discharge of any Note and/or the reconveyance of the Mortgage; (iv) any exculpatory provisions in any of the other Loan
Documents limiting the Administrative Agent’s recourse to the Premises encumbered by the Mortgage or to any other security, or limiting the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights to a deficiency judgment against any Indemnitor;
(v) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by any Indemnitor; (vi) the release of any Indemnitor or any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions
contained in any of the other Loan Documents by operation of Law, the Administrative Agent’s and/or the Lenders’ voluntary act, or otherwise; (vii) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Obligations;
or (viii) the Administrative Agent’s failure to record the Mortgage or file any UCC financing statements (or the Administrative Agent’s improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure
any Lien given as security for the Obligations and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to the Indemnitors, and with or without consideration. 
 16. No delay on the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s part in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Indemnity Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege,
power or right. 
 17. Any party liable upon or in respect of this Indemnity Agreement or any other Loan Document may be
released without affecting the liability of any party not so released. 
 18. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes when sent in accordance with the terms of Section 11.5 [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement. 

19. No provision of this Indemnity Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, by telephone or by any other means
except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. 
 20. The indemnity provisions contained in this Indemnity Agreement shall survive any judicial foreclosure, foreclosure by power of sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, transfer of the Premises by the
Indemnitors or the Administrative Agent, and payment of the Obligations in full; 

  
 - 6 -

 
provided, however, that such indemnity provisions shall at no time accrue to, or be construed to benefit, any Person (other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any successor in
interest or assignee of the Administrative Agent or any Lender) no matter how such Person obtains title or an interest in the Premises. 
 21. The liability covered by the indemnity provisions in this Indemnity Agreement shall include, but not be limited to, losses sustained by the Administrative Agent, any Lender and/or their respective
successors and assigns for (i) diminution in value of any portion of the Premises; (ii) amounts arising out of personal injury or death claims; (iii) amounts charged to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any environmental or
Contamination clean-up costs and expenses, Liens, or other such charges or impositions with respect to any portion of the Premises; (iv) payment for attorneys’ fees and disbursements, expert witness fees, court costs, environmental tests
and design studies; and (v) any other amounts expended by the Administrative Agent, any Lender and/or their respective successors and assigns. 
 22. This Indemnity Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall in all respects be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (without giving effect to Pennsylvania’s principles of conflicts of law). The Indemnitors hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in Allegheny County and the
United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indemnity Agreement. 
 23. This Indemnity Agreement may be executed in any one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original document and all of which shall be deemed the same document.

receive, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the
Distributing Loan Party in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up event. 
 If, notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Loan Party which is owed Intercompany Indebtedness by a Distributing Loan Party shall have received any payment or distribution of assets from the Distributing Loan Party of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear, shall be segregated from other funds
and property held by such Loan Party, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of noncash
property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. 

3. No Commencement of Any Proceeding. Each Loan Party agrees that, so long as the Senior Debt shall remain unpaid, it will not
commence, or join with any creditor other than the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in commencing any proceeding referred to in the first paragraph of Section 2 against any other Loan Party which owes it any Intercompany Indebtedness.

 4. Prior Payment of Senior Debt Upon Acceleration of Intercompany Indebtedness. If any portion of the Intercompany
Indebtedness owed by any Loan Party becomes or is declared due and payable before its stated maturity, then and in such event the Lenders shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due and to become due on or in respect
of the Senior Debt (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Loan Documents or the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable) before the
holder of any such Intercompany Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment thereon. 

  
 - 2 -

 If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan Party shall make any payment of the Intercompany
Indebtedness prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may
appear. 
 The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2 hereof would be
applicable. 
 5. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default. If any Event of Default or Potential Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, or such an Event of Default or Potential Default would result from or exist after giving effect to a payment with respect to any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, unless the Administrative Agent shall have
consented to or waived the same, so long as any of the Senior Debt shall remain outstanding, no payment shall be made by any Loan Party owing such Intercompany Indebtedness on account of principal or interest on any portion of the Intercompany
Indebtedness. 
 If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan Party shall make any payment of the Intercompany Indebtedness
prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear.

 The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2 hereof would be
applicable. 
 6. Payment Permitted if No Default. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any of the Loan
Parties, at any time except during the pendency of any of the conditions described in Sections 2 and 4 hereof, from making payments of principal of or interest on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, or retaining any money deposited with
such Loan Party for the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness. 
 7.
Rights of Subrogation. Each Loan Party agrees that no payment or distribution to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle it to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof
until the Senior Debt shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit have expired or have been cancelled. 
 8. Instruments Evidencing Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Loan Party shall cause each instrument, if any, which now or hereafter evidences all or a portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness to be
conspicuously marked as follows: 
 “This instrument is subject to the terms of an Intercompany Subordination Agreement,
dated August     , 2011, in favor of PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders referred to therein, which Intercompany Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding any
contrary statement contained in the within instrument, no payment on account of the principal thereof or interest thereon shall become due or payable except in accordance with the express terms of said Intercompany Subordination Agreement.”

  
 - 3 -

 Each Loan Party will further mark its books of account in such a manner as shall be effective to give proper
notice to the effect of this Agreement. 
 9. Agreement Solely to Define Relative Rights. The purpose of this Agreement
is solely to define the relative rights of the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between any of the Loan Parties and
their creditors other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the obligation of the Loan Parties to each other to pay the principal of and interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights among the Loan Parties and their creditors other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, nor shall anything herein prevent any of the Loan Parties from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable Law upon default under any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, subject to the rights, if any, under this Agreement of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness. 

10. No Implied Waivers of Subordination. No right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce subordination, as herein
provided, shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan Party or by any act or failure to act by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or by any non-compliance by any Loan Party with
the terms, provisions and covenants of any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, regardless of any knowledge thereof the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have or be otherwise charged with. Each Loan Party by its
acceptance hereof shall agree that, so long as there is Senior Debt outstanding or Commitments in effect under the Credit Agreement, such Loan Party shall not agree to sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or to compromise, the
obligations of the other Loan Parties with respect to their Intercompany Indebtedness, other than by means of payment of such Intercompany Indebtedness according to its terms, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

 Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may, at
any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to any Loan Party except to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, without incurring responsibility to the Loan Parties and without impairing or releasing the subordination
provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or extend the time of payment, renew
or alter the Senior Debt or otherwise amend or supplement the Senior Debt or the Loan Documents; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt, if any;
(iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any of the Loan Parties and any other Person. 

  
 - 4 -

 11. Joinder. Upon the execution and delivery by any other Person of a Borrower
Joinder or a Guarantor Joinder, such Person shall become a “Loan Party” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to this Agreement and named as a “Loan Party” on the signature pages hereto. The
execution and delivery of any such Borrower Joinder or Guarantor Joinder shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder, and 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 party to this Agreement. 
 12. Continuing Force and Effect. This
Agreement shall continue in force for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains unpaid and any Commitments under the Credit Agreement remain outstanding, it being contemplated that this Agreement be of a continuing nature. 

13. Modification, Amendments or Waivers. Any and all agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or the rights
of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder, and any and all waivers or consents to Events of Default or other departures from the due performance of the Loan Parties hereunder, shall be made only by written agreement, waiver or consent
signed by the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of all the Lenders, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent being effective to bind all the Lenders and, with respect
to amendments or changes to any provision of this Agreement, signed by the Loan Parties. 
 14. Expenses. The Loan
Parties unconditionally and jointly and severally agree upon demand to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the amount of any and all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements for which reimbursement is customarily obtained,
including fees and expenses of counsel, which the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (b) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders hereunder, or (c) the failure by the Loan Parties to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 

15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held
invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability
thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. 
 16. Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be a contract under the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to its principles of
conflict of laws. 
 17. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, as permitted in the Credit Agreement, and the obligations of the Loan Parties shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns. The duties and obligations of the Loan Parties
may not be delegated or transferred by the Loan Parties without the written consent of the Required Lenders and any such delegation or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Except to the

  
 - 5 -

 
extent otherwise required by the context of this Agreement, the word “Lenders” when used herein shall include, without limitation, any holder of a Note or an assignment of rights
therein originally issued to a Lender under the Credit Agreement, and each such holder of a Note or assignment shall have the benefits of this Agreement to the same extent as if such holder had originally been a Lender under the Credit Agreement.

 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 19. Attorneys-in-Fact. Each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, at its election and in the name of either itself, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear, or in the name of each such Loan Party as is owed Intercompany Indebtedness, to execute and file proofs and documents and take any other action the Administrative Agent may deem
advisable to completely protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Intercompany Indebtedness and their right of enforcement thereof, and to that end each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes
and appoints the Administrative Agent, its officers, employees and agents, or any of them, with full power of substitution, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of such Loan Party, and with full power for such Loan Party, and in the
name, place and stead of such Loan Party for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, and taking any action and executing, delivering, filing and recording any instruments which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which power of attorney, being given for security, is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and confirms, and agrees to ratify and confirm, all action taken by the
Administrative Agent, its officers, employees or agents pursuant to the foregoing power of attorney. 
 20. Application of
Payments. In the event any payments are received by the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement for application to the Senior Debt at any time when the Senior Debt has not been declared due and payable and prior to the date on
which it would otherwise become due and payable, such payment shall constitute a voluntary prepayment of the Senior Debt for all purposes under the Credit Agreement. 
 21. Remedies. In the event of a breach by any of the Loan Parties in the performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may demand specific
performance of this Agreement and seek injunctive relief and may exercise any other remedy available at law or in equity, it being recognized that the remedies of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at law may not fully compensate the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders for the damages they may suffer in the event of a breach hereof. 
 22. Consent
to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in Allegheny County and the United States District Court for
the Western District of Pennsylvania, waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that 

  
 - 6 -

 
all such service of process be made by certified or registered mail directed to the Loan Parties at the addresses referred to in Section 23 hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be
completed upon actual receipt thereof. Each of the Loan Parties waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted against it as provided herein and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue, AND
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDERS TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS. 

23. Notices. All notices, statements, requests and demands and other communications given to or made upon the Loan Parties, the

 2. To induce the Assignee to accept this Assignment and to induce the Lenders to
advance funds on account of the Debt, the Assignor hereby represents and warrants to the Assignee as of the date hereof:

5. Neither the Assignee nor any Lender shall be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of the Assignor under any of the Leases,
or under or by reason of this Assignment. The Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Assignee and the Lenders against, and hold the Assignee and the Lenders harmless from, (i) any and all liability, loss or damage which the Assignee
or any Lender may or might incur under any of the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment and (ii) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Assignee or any Lender by reason of any alleged obligation on
the 

 
Assignee’s or any Lender’s part to perform or discharge any obligation under any of the terms of any of the Leases. Should the Assignee or any Lender incur any such liability, loss or
damage under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment, or in defense against any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in the
Credit Agreement, shall be added to the Debt secured hereby and the Assignor shall reimburse the Assignee (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) therefor, immediately upon demand. 

6. Notwithstanding this Assignment or any exercise by the Assignee of any of the Assignee’s rights hereunder, or any Law, usage or
custom to the contrary, the Assignor shall retain full responsibility for the care, control, management and repair of the Premises), and the Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Assignee and the Lenders against, and hold the Assignee
and the Lenders harmless from, (i) any and all liability, loss or damage which the Assignee or any Lender may or might incur by reason of any deficiency or alleged deficiency in the care, control, management or repair of the Premises or any
part thereof and (ii) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Assignee or any Lender by reason thereof. Should the Assignee or any Lender incur any liability, loss or damage described in the preceding
sentence, or in defense against any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in the Credit Agreement, shall be added to the Debt secured
hereby and the Assignor shall reimburse the Assignee (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) therefor, immediately upon demand. 
 7. Any default by the Assignor in the performance or observance of any covenant, obligation or undertaking of the Assignor hereunder, shall, at the option of the Assignee, constitute and be deemed to be
an Event of Default under each of the Loan Documents, and shall entitle the Assignee to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies thereunder. 
 8. These presents shall not be deemed or construed to constitute the Assignee as a mortgagee in possession of the Premises nor to obligate the Assignee to take any action hereunder, nor to incur any
expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability hereunder or under the Leases. However, should the Assignor fail to make any payment or to perform any obligation of the Assignor hereunder, then the Assignee, but without obligation
so to do and without notice to or demand on the Assignor and without releasing the Assignor from any obligation herein, may make or do the same, including specifically, without limiting the Assignee’s general powers, appearing in and defending
any action purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of the Assignee and performing any obligation of the Assignor in any of the Leases contained, and in exercising any such powers paying necessary costs and expenses,
employing counsel and incurring and paying attorneys’ fees; and the Assignor will pay immediately upon demand all sums expended by the Assignee under the authority hereof, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in the Credit
Agreement, and the same shall be added to the Debt secured hereby and shall be secured by all of the security given for any of the Debt. 
 9. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Assignee, without notice, may: enter upon, take possession of and operate the Premises; make, enforce, modify or accept a
surrender of any of the Leases; obtain and evict tenants or other 

 
occupants under Leases; fix or modify rents; make any alterations, renovations, repairs and replacements to the Premises which the Assignee and the Lenders deem necessary or desirable for the
successful operation of the Premises; bring or defend any suits in connection with the Premises, Leases or Rents in its own name (for the benefit of the Lenders) or in the name of the Assignor; obtain such insurance as the Assignee and the Lenders
deem desirable; and do any acts which the Assignee and the Lenders deem proper to protect the security hereof until all Debt secured hereby is paid or performed in full, and either with or without taking possession of the Premises, in its own name
(for the benefit of the Lenders), sue for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including attorneys’ fees, upon any Debt secured
hereby in such order as the Assignee may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Premises, the collection of the Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or waive, modify or affect any
notice of default hereunder. 
 10. Notwithstanding any agreement, Law, custom or usage to the contrary, the Assignor hereby
assigns to the Assignee any award made hereafter to it in any court procedure involving any of the tenants in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings in any state or federal court; and any and all payments made by the tenants in
lieu of rent. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Assignor hereby appoints the Assignee as its irrevocable attorney-in-fact to appear in any action and/or to collect any such award or payment. 

11. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Assignment is intended to be an absolute assignment from the Assignor to
the Assignee and not merely the granting of a security interest. The Rents and Leases are hereby assigned absolutely by the Assignor to the Assignee; nevertheless, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred, the Assignor shall have the right
to collect upon, but not prior to the date such Rents become due, the Rents and any award described in paragraph 10 hereof, and to retain, use and enjoy the same. 
 12. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Assignee and the Lenders, upon notice to the Assignor, may elect to have all Rents assigned hereunder paid directly to the
Assignee (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) and the Assignee may notify the tenants or any other party or parties in possession of the Premises to pay all of the Rents directly to the Assignee (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders), for
which this Assignment shall be sufficient warrant. Upon such notice from the Assignee to the tenants, the tenants are hereby authorized and directed to pay all Rents directly to the Assignee (for the benefit of the Lenders), unless or until the
Assignee otherwise directs the tenants. Each tenant’s account with the Assignor shall be credited with the amount of all Rents so paid by such tenant to the Assignee. The Assignor covenants and agrees to release and hold harmless all tenants
from any claim on account of any such payments made directly to the Assignee (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders). 
 13.
The Assignee and the Lenders may take or release other security, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for any Debt secured hereby, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to such Debt, and may apply any other
security therefor held by them to the satisfaction of such Debt without prejudice to any of their rights hereunder. The rights of the Assignee to collect said Debt and to enforce any other security therefor held by them may be exercised by the
Assignee either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any 

 
action by it hereunder. The failure of the Assignee and the Lenders to avail themselves of any of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any
rights or remedies hereunder. The Assignee shall have the full right, power and authority to enforce this Assignment or any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof, at any time or times that the Assignee and the Lenders shall deem fit.

 14. This Assignment shall terminate and become void automatically upon the Mortgage being satisfied and discharged of record,
or upon the recording of an instrument releasing all of the Premises from the Lien of the Mortgage. Upon satisfaction of the Mortgage and a written request of the Assignor, the Assignee will deliver an instrument sufficient to terminate this
Assignment. 
 15. As used herein, each gender shall include the other genders, the singular number shall include the plural,

 ALL of which property and rights therein hereinabove described or mentioned being
hereinafter collectively called, the “Mortgaged Premises”. 
 TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Mortgaged Premises unto the
Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, forever. 
 AND at all times until the Obligations are fully satisfied, together with all
interest thereon, the Mortgagor covenants, promises and agrees with the Mortgagee as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1 

Covenants As To Payment, Performance and Title 
 SECTION 1.01. The Mortgagor shall, or shall cause the other Borrowers to, pay to the Mortgagee (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders), without offset, counterclaim or defense, the Obligations including,
but not limited to, the unpaid principal indebtedness under the Loan Documents and all other sums now or hereafter due the Mortgagee and the Lenders under the terms hereof or of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, together with all
interest thereon, punctually as and when the same shall become due by the terms thereof or hereof. The Mortgagor will and will cause the other Borrowers to fully and faithfully observe and perform all of the Obligations. 

SECTION 1.02. The Mortgagor warrants (i) that it has good and marketable title to the Land, in fee simple, subject only to matters,
if any, approved in writing by the Mortgagee, (ii) that it has good title to the Improvements and the Fixtures and (iii) that this Mortgage is a Lien on and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Premises subject to no other Lien except
such matters as may be permitted in writing by the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee or as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement, install in or locate on the Mortgaged Premises any equipment
or fixtures which are subject to any Lien or title retention arrangement of any kind other than that created hereby. The Mortgagor warrants that neither the rents, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Premises nor any part thereof have been
previously assigned. The Mortgagor shall preserve such title as herein described and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the Lien hereof against the claims of all Persons whomsoever. 

ARTICLE 2 

Covenants As To Taxes, Assessments, Etc. 
 SECTION 2.01. At least five (5) days prior to the due date thereof, the Mortgagor will pay, discharge and (at the time specified in Section 2.03) furnish to the Mortgagee proper receipts for all
taxes, general and special, water and sewer rent charges, excise levies, vault and other license or permit fees, city taxes, transit taxes, levies and assessments of every kind and all charges for utilities and utility services, which may have been
or may hereafter be charged, assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon or grow or become due and payable out of, or in respect to, or against, the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, or any appurtenance thereto (collectively, the
“Impositions”), by any lawful authority or public utility, or which may become a Lien thereon, unless the same shall have been fully paid to the Mortgagee as provided in Section 2.02 hereof. 

  
 - 4 -

 SECTION 2.02. After an Event of Default and during the continuance of such Event of Default,
if requested by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee on a monthly basis an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the real estate taxes and premiums for insurance required by Article 3 hereof so as to enable the Mortgagee to
pay the same at least thirty (30) days before they become due. Amounts so paid shall be deemed not to be trust funds but may at the option of the Mortgagee be commingled with general funds of the Mortgagee. No interest shall be paid on such
amounts. If, pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, the outstanding amount of the Obligations or any installment of interest, principal or principal and interest becomes due and payable prior to its originally scheduled maturity, the Mortgagee
shall have the right, at the Lenders’ election, to apply any amounts paid to the Mortgagee under this Section 2.02, with accrued interest thereon, against all or any part of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage, any interest thereon or
in payment of the premiums or payments for which the amounts were paid. If the real estate taxes and insurance premiums required to be escrowed pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall exceed the estimate therefor and the amounts paid into escrow
under this Section 2.02, the Mortgagor shall on demand forthwith make good the deficiency. The Mortgagor will furnish to the Mortgagee tax and insurance bills in sufficient time to enable the Mortgagee to pay such taxes and premiums before
interest and penalties accrue thereon. 
 SECTION 2.03. Unless the same shall have been fully paid to the Mortgagee as provided
in Section 2.02 hereof, the Mortgagor, upon written request of the Mortgagee, will furnish to the Mortgagee, within thirty (30) days after the date when any Impositions would become delinquent, official receipts of the appropriate taxing
authority or other authority to which the charge is payable, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee evidencing the payment thereof. 
 SECTION 2.04. The certificate, advice or bill of the appropriate official designated by Law to make or issue the same or to receive payment of any Imposition, of non-payment of such Imposition shall be
prima facie evidence that such Imposition is due and unpaid at the time of the making or issuance of such certificate, advice or bill. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 Insurance 

SECTION 3.01. The Mortgagor agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to insure the Improvements and the Fixtures included in the Mortgaged

 SECTION 3.02. The Mortgagor may effect for its own account (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) any insurance not
required under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, but any insurance effected by the Mortgagor on the Mortgaged Premises, whether or not required under the Credit Agreement, shall be for the mutual benefit of the Mortgagor, the Lenders and the

  
 - 5 -

 
Mortgagee, and shall be subject to all other provisions of the Credit Agreement, of this Article 3 and of Article 11 hereof and the Mortgagor shall provide the Mortgagee written notice of such
insurance prior to it being effected along with a photocopy of all such policies promptly upon their issuance. 
 SECTION 3.03.
All insurance shall be subject to the approval of the Mortgagee as to insurance companies, amounts, content and form of policies and expiration dates, and shall contain a lender’s loss payee and mortgagee clause, in favor of the Mortgagee as
agent for the Lenders, in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee and the Lenders. Such policies shall not be amended, cancelled or otherwise terminated without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Mortgagee.

 SECTION 3.04. The Mortgagor will deliver originals of all such policies to the Mortgagee, and, not less than thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration date of each such policy, will deliver to the Mortgagee a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor will
not permit any condition to exist on the Mortgaged Premises which would wholly or partially invalidate the insurance thereon. In the event of the occurrence of any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagor will give immediate written
notice thereof to the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee may make proof of loss thereof if not made promptly by the Mortgagor. Subject in all cases to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Mortgagee may on behalf of and with the concurrence of the
Mortgagor adjust and compromise any claims under such insurance and, without the concurrence of the Mortgagor, collect and receive the proceeds thereof and endorse drafts and the Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of the
Mortgagor for such purposes. The Mortgagee shall apply such proceeds of all casualty insurance in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of this Mortgage. The Mortgagee may deduct from such proceeds any expense incurred by the Mortgagee in
collecting the same (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

prior written consent of the Mortgagee unless, simultaneously with, or prior to, any such permitted removal, any such Fixtures shall be replaced with other Fixtures to perform the function of the Fixtures removed and of a value at least equal to
that of the Fixtures replaced and free from any title retention or security agreement or other encumbrance other than Permitted Liens. By such removal and replacement, the Mortgagor shall be deemed to have subjected such replacement Fixtures to the
Lien of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor will not abandon or cause or permit any waste to the Mortgaged Premises. The Mortgagor will pay all license fees and similar municipal charges for the use of the Mortgaged Premises and the vaults or other areas
now or hereafter comprising part thereof or used in connection therewith and will not, unless so required by any Official Body having jurisdiction, discontinue such use without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary, and unforeseen and foreseen. All repairs made by the Mortgagor shall be equal in quality and class to the original work. The necessity for and adequacy of repairs to the Improvements
pursuant to this Article shall be measured by the standard which is appropriate for facilities and buildings of similar construction and class, provided that the Mortgagor shall in any event make all repairs necessary to avoid any structural damage
or injury to the Improvements and to keep the Improvements in a proper condition for their intended uses. 
 SECTION 4.03. The
Mortgagor will permit the Mortgagee, the Lenders and their representatives to enter the Mortgaged Premises to inspect the same. In case any Event of Default shall occur, the Mortgagee or any Lender may, at its option, enter the Mortgaged Premises to

of the Mortgaged Premises whether or not such Law shall necessitate structural changes or improvements, or the removal of any encroachments or projections, ornamental, structural or otherwise, onto or over the streets adjacent to the Mortgaged
Premises, or onto or over property contiguous or adjacent thereto.

broker or leasing agent with respect to the leasing or sale of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, unless approved in writing by the Mortgagee prior to its execution, shall provide that the rights of such broker or agent to the commissions
or other compensation payable thereunder shall be subject, subordinate and inferior to the rights of the Mortgagee, so that in the event of a sale of the Mortgaged Premises pursuant to the exercise by the Mortgagee of the rights and remedies of the
Mortgagee hereunder or of the Mortgagee and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, as the case may be, the Mortgagee or the purchaser at such sale will be exonerated and discharged from all liability for the payment of any such commission or
compensation. 
 SECTION 9.05. The Mortgagor covenants and agrees that no lease or sublease, as the case may be, or any rentals
under any lease or sublease, as the case may be,, or any rents, issues or profits issuing from the Mortgaged Premises, shall be hereafter sold, assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, except to the
Mortgagee, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee in each instance first had and obtained, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void. 

SECTION 9.06. The Mortgagor will perform faithfully the lessor’s or sublessor’s, as the case may be, covenants under any
existing or future lease affecting the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, and neither do, nor neglect to do, nor permit to be done or left undone, anything, other than pursuing the enforcement of the terms of such leases in the exercise of the
lessor’s remedies thereunder following default on the part of any tenant in the performance of its prescribed obligations, which may cause the modification or termination of any said lease, or of the obligations of any tenant or any Person
claiming through such tenant, or which may diminish or impair the value of any lease, or the rents provided for therein, or the interest of the lessor or of the Mortgagee therein or thereunder. The Mortgagor will not permit any assignment of any
lease by the tenant thereunder or any subletting of all or any part of the premises demised by any lease without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor will not execute a mortgage or create or permit a Lien which may be or become
superior to any lease affecting the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor will give the Mortgagee prompt notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, of any notice of default
received from any tenant of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, or given by the Mortgagor to any tenant of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof.

Damage Or Destruction 
 SECTION 11.01. In the case of casualty resulting in damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagor shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Mortgagee. 

SECTION 11.02. In all cases subject to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, unless the Mortgagor elects to apply insurance
proceeds to reduce the Obligations secured hereby, regardless of the amount of any such damage or destruction, the Mortgagor shall at its sole cost and expense, and whether or not the insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose,
restore, repair, replace, rebuild or alter the same as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such damage or destruction or with such changes or alteration as may be made at the Mortgagor’s election in
conformity with and subject to the conditions of Article 6 hereof. Such restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding or alteration shall be commenced promptly and prosecuted with reasonable diligence. If (i) estimates received, and/or made,
by the Mortgagee disclose that the cost of restoration would be in excess of the amount of insurance proceeds available therefor, or (ii) during the period of restoration by the Mortgagor the amount of the insurance proceeds shall not be
sufficient to complete such restoration, then in either of such events, the Mortgagor shall deposit with the Mortgagee the amount required to complete such restoration or such other security as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee.

 SECTION 11.03. All proceeds of and payments under insurance policies with respect to any casualty event shall be paid to the
Mortgagee and applied by the Mortgagee first to payment of the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the adjustment of the loss and settlement with the insurance company. The remainder of such
insurance proceeds shall be applied, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, either (i) in reduction of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage, principal and interest, , or (ii) to the payment of the costs of
the aforesaid restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs and the cost of protection of property pending the completion of permanent restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or
alterations (all of which temporary and permanent repairs, restoration, replacement, rebuilding, alterations and protection of property are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Restoration”). 

SECTION 11.04. If under the provisions of this Article 11, insurance proceeds are to be applied to the cost of Restoration of the
Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagee shall hold such insurance proceeds, together with any amounts deposited with the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 11.02 hereof, and advance the same for application to the cost of the Restoration from time to

  
 - 12 -

 
time as the Restoration progresses. Such funds will be advanced upon the written request of the Mortgagor and upon the Mortgagor’s compliance with such reasonable requirements therefor as
the Mortgagee shall impose. Upon completion of all of the Restoration in a good and workmanlike manner and substantially in accordance with any plans and specifications therefor which the Mortgagee may have required, and upon receipt by the
Mortgagee of evidence satisfactory to the Mortgagee that the Restoration has been completed and that the Mortgaged Premises is not and will not become subject to any mechanic’s or materialmen’s Liens on account of the Restoration or any
part thereof, any balance of the insurance proceeds or sums deposited with the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 11.02 hereof and not applied to the cost of Restoration shall be applied to reduce the Obligations secured by this Mortgage, and any
balance remaining after repayment of the Obligations shall be paid over to the Mortgagor. 
 SECTION 11.05. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Article 11 to the contrary, if a Default or an Event of Default should occur and be continuing at any time during any Restoration of the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagee shall have no obligation to continue to apply insurance

 SECTION
11.06. In no event shall the application to the Obligations of the Mortgagor or, whether or not then due or payable, of any insurance proceeds postpone, abate or reduce any of the periodic installments of principal and interest thereafter to become
due under the Notes or the Credit Agreement until the Obligations are satisfied in full. If the Mortgagee shall acquire title to the Mortgaged Premises either by virtue of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a judicial sale thereof pursuant to
proceedings under this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, then all of the Mortgagor’s estate, right, title and interest in and to all such policies, including unearned premiums thereon and the proceeds thereof, shall
vest in the Mortgagee. 
 ARTICLE 12 
 Condemnation 
 SECTION 12.01. The Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee immediate
notice of any actual or threatened commencement of condemnation proceedings or the exercise of the right of eminent domain. In the event that the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by exercise of
any right of eminent domain (hereinafter called collectively, “Condemnation Proceedings”), the Mortgagee may on behalf of the Mortgagor participate in any such Condemnation Proceedings and may on behalf of and with the concurrence of the
Mortgagor adjust, contest, accept, reject or compromise any proposed award and collect and, without the concurrence of the Mortgagor, may receive the proceeds thereof and endorse drafts, and the Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed
attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor for such purposes, such power being coupled with an interest. The decision of the Mortgagee with regard to the adjustment, contest, acceptance, rejection or compromise of any proposed award issued in connection with
any Condemnation Proceedings shall be binding upon the Mortgagor. The award that may be made in any such proceeding or the proceeds thereof shall be deposited with the Mortgagee and distributed in the manner set forth in this Article 12. The parties
agree to execute any and all further documents that may be required in order to facilitate collection of any award or awards and the making of any such deposit with the Mortgagee. 

  
 - 13 -

 SECTION 12.02. If at any time during the term of this Mortgage title to the whole or
materially all of the Mortgaged Premises shall be taken in Condemnation Proceedings or by agreement between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee and those authorized to exercise such right, the Mortgagee shall apply such award or proceeds which it
receives pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof to payment of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage and any balance then remaining shall be paid to the Mortgagor as its interest may appear. In the event that the amount of the award or proceeds
received by the Mortgagee shall not be sufficient to pay the then unpaid principal balance of the Obligations, with the accrued interest thereon, and any other sums secured by this Mortgage, the Mortgagor shall, within ten (10) days after the
application of the award or proceeds as aforesaid, pay such deficiency to the Mortgagee. For the purposes of this Section 12.02 “materially all of the Mortgaged Premises” shall be deemed to have been taken if the portion of the
Mortgaged Premises taken shall preclude, in the Mortgagee’s sole judgment, the effective use of the Mortgaged Premises as an economically viable unit for the purposes permitted by Article 8 hereof. 

SECTION 12.03. If at any time during the term of this Mortgage title to less than the whole or materially all of the Mortgaged Premises
shall be taken as aforesaid, all of the award or proceeds collected by the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof, shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, (i) be applied to reduce the Obligations secured by this Mortgage or (ii) be
held by the Mortgagee and applied and paid over toward the cost of demolition, repair and restoration, substantially in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as those provided in Article 11 hereof with respect to insurance and other
monies. Any balance remaining in the hands of the Mortgagee after payment of such costs of demolition, repair and restoration shall be retained by the Mortgagee and applied in reduction of the Obligations secured by the Mortgage. In the event that
the costs of such demolition, repairs and restoration shall exceed the net amount collected by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall pay the deficiency. 
 SECTION 12.04. If at any time during the term of this Mortgage the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Premises shall be taken in Condemnation Proceedings, all of the award or proceeds
collected by the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held by the Mortgagee and applied by the Mortgagee toward the payment of the interest payments or of the payments of principal and interest due on the Obligations secured by
this Mortgage and such other sums as are due to the Mortgagee and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the Notes, this Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents, until such time as the Obligations secured by this Mortgage and such other sums as are
due to the Mortgagee and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and this Mortgage are completely satisfied and paid, except that, if such taking by Condemnation Proceedings results in changes and alterations to the Mortgaged Premises or
any part thereof which would necessitate an expenditure to restore the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof to its former condition, then such portion of the award or proceeds as in the Mortgagee’s reasonable estimation shall be necessary to
cover the cost of restoration shall at the option of the Mortgagee be retained by the Mortgagee, without application as aforesaid, and be applied and paid over toward the restoration of the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, to its former
condition in substantially the same manner and subject to the same conditions as those provided in Article 11 hereof with respect to insurance and other monies. In the event that the costs of such restoration shall exceed the net amount collected by
the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall pay the deficiency. 

  
 - 14 -

 SECTION 12.05. Any award for compensation made in Condemnation Proceedings for consequential
damages or for the taking of rights in, under and above the streets adjoining such Mortgaged Premises, or the rights and benefits of light, air or access to said streets, or for the taking of space, or rights therein, below the surface of, or above,
the Mortgaged Premises, shall be paid over to and received by the Mortgagee. Such awards or compensation shall at the option of the Mortgagee be either applied to the reduction of the Obligations secured hereby, or paid over toward the cost of such
demolition, repair and restoration of the Mortgaged Premises as shall be necessitated by such taking, substantially in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as those provided in Article 11 hereof with respect to insurance and other
monies, and any balance remaining in the hands of the Mortgagee shall be retained by the Mortgagee, and applied in reduction of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage in the same manner as provided in Section 12.03 with respect to the balance
of the award or awards therein referred to. 
 SECTION 12.06. In the case of any taking covered by the provisions of this
Article 12, the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee (to the extent that the Mortgagee has not been reimbursed therefor by the Mortgagor) shall be entitled as a first priority to reimbursement out of any award or awards for all reasonable costs, fees,
reimbursements to the Mortgagee and expenses incurred in the determination and collection of any such awards. 
 SECTION 12.07.
Notwithstanding any taking by Condemnation Proceeding, the Mortgagor shall continue to pay interest on the entire principal sum secured by this Mortgage at the rates provided in the Credit Agreement until any such award or payment shall have been
actually received by the Mortgagee and applied to the principal sum as provided in this Article 12, if it is to be so applied under this Article 12. Any reduction in the principal sum resulting from the Mortgagee’s application of such award or
payment, as hereinafter set forth shall be deemed to take effect only on the date of such application. If, prior to the Mortgagee’s receipt of such award or payment, the Mortgaged Premises shall have been sold to the Mortgagee or its nominee on
foreclosure of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have the right to receive and retain the entire award or payment. 
 SECTION
12.08. In no event shall the application to the Obligations secured hereby of any payment to the Mortgagee pursuant to this Article 12 postpone, abate or reduce any of the periodic installments of principal or interest thereafter to become due under
the Credit Agreement and the Notes until the Obligations are satisfied in full.

 ARTICLE 14 
 Credit Agreement/Future Advances 
 SECTION 14.01. This Mortgage is subject in all
respects to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, as now in force and as hereafter amended, supplemented or modified, which is incorporated herein by reference. All Obligations arising and accruing from time to time under the Notes, the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be secured hereby to the same extent as though the Credit Agreement was fully incorporated in this Mortgage. Under the Credit Agreement, advances of proceeds of the Notes may be made from time to
time hereafter, but each such advance shall be secured hereby as if made on the date hereof. 
 ARTICLE 15 

Events of Default and Remedies 
 SECTION 15.01. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire Obligations may become immediately due and payable (i) upon demand of the Mortgagee, at the Mortgagee’s and the
Lenders’ option or (ii) automatically without notice or demand in accordance with the Credit Agreement. In any such event, the Mortgagee may forthwith, and without further delay undertake any one or more of the following: 

(a) Foreclosure. Institute an action of mortgage foreclosure, or take such other action as the Law may allow, at law or in equity,
for the enforcement thereof and realization on the mortgage security or any other security which is herein or elsewhere provided for, and proceed thereon to final judgment and execution thereon for the entire unpaid balance of the Obligations, with
interest, at the rates and pursuant to the methods of calculation specified in the Credit Agreement and this Mortgage to the date of default and thereafter at the rates provided in the Credit Agreement, together with all other sums secured by this
Mortgage, all costs of suit, interest at the rates specified in the Credit Agreement on any judgment obtained by the Mortgagee from and after the date of any Sheriff’s Sale of the Mortgaged Premises (which may be sold, subject to all applicable
Laws, in one parcel or in such parcels, manner or order as the Mortgagee shall elect) until actual payment is made by the Sheriff of the full amount due the Mortgagee, and a reasonable attorneys’ commission for collection, without further stay,
any Law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding; 
 (b) Entry. The Mortgagee personally, or by its agents or
attorneys, may enter into and upon all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises, and each and every part thereof, and may exclude the Mortgagor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and the
Mortgagor agrees to surrender possession to the Mortgagee on demand after the happening of any Event of Default; and having and holding the same, may use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Premises and conduct the business thereof, either
personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or receivers; and upon every such entry, the Mortgagee, at the expense of the Mortgaged Premises, from time to time, either by purchase, repairs or construction, may
maintain and restore the Mortgaged Premises, whereof it shall become possessed as aforesaid, may complete the 

  
 - 17 -

 
renovation of the buildings, structures and improvements and in the course of such completion may make such changes in the contemplated or completed buildings, structures and improvements as it
may deem desirable and may insure the same; and likewise, from time to time, at the expense of the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagee may make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals and replacements and such useful alterations, additions,
betterments and improvements thereto and thereon as it may deem advisable; and in every such case the Mortgagee shall have the right to manage and operate the Mortgaged Premises and to carry on the business thereof and exercise all rights and powers
of the Mortgagor with respect thereto either in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise as it shall deem best; and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income of the Mortgaged
Premises and every part thereof, and after deducting the expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and amounts necessary to pay for
taxes, assessments, insurance and prior or other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Mortgagee and for all attorneys, counsel, agents, clerks, servants
and other employees properly engaged and employed by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall apply the moneys arising as aforesaid, first, to the payment of the Obligations evidenced by the Notes, whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise
as the Mortgagee and the Lenders, in their sole discretion may elect and second, to the payment of any other sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(c) Receivership. Have a receiver appointed to enter into possession of the Mortgaged Premises, collect the earnings, revenues,
rents, issues, profits and income therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver without the necessity of proving either the inadequacy of the security or the insolvency of the
Mortgagor or any other Person who may be legally or equitably liable to pay moneys secured hereby and the Mortgagor and each such Person shall be deemed to have waived such proof and to have consented to the appointment of such receiver. Should the
Mortgagee or any receiver collect earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits or income from the Mortgaged Premises, the moneys so collected shall not be substituted for payment of the Obligations secured hereby and can only be used to cure the
default, with the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, when such moneys have been applied to payments of the principal, and interest thereon, and only after a sufficient amount of time has passed so as to prevent the disgorgement or forfeiture of
such moneys by the Mortgagee pursuant to any state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy Law. The Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income actually received by the Mortgagee. 

(d) Sale of Personal Property. The Mortgagee shall have such rights and remedies in respect of so much of the Mortgaged Premises
as may, under applicable Law, be personal property, or any part thereof, as are provided by the Uniform Commercial Code and such other rights and remedies in respect thereof which it may have at law or in equity or under this Mortgage, including
without limitation the right to take possession of the Mortgaged Premises wherever located and to sell all or any portion thereof at public or private sale, without prior notice to the Mortgagor, except as otherwise required by Law (and if notice is
required by Law, after ten (10) days prior written notice), at such place or places and at such time or times and in such manner and upon such terms, whether for cash or on credit, as the Mortgagee in its

  
 - 18 -

 
sole discretion may determine. The Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of any such sale first to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with such
sale or collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses, second to the payment of the Obligations, whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect, and then to pay
the balance, if any, as required by Law. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Mortgagor, upon demand by the Mortgagee, shall promptly assemble any equipment and fixtures included in the Mortgaged Premises and make them available to the
Mortgagee at a place to be designated by the Mortgagee, which shall be reasonably convenient to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor. 
 (e) Sale of the Mortgaged Premises. The Mortgagee may sell any of the Mortgaged Premises, not specifically designated as personal property and subject to subparagraph (d) above, in such a
manner as it deems appropriate and in accordance with any applicable Law. The Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of any such sale first to the payment of the costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with such sale or collection,
including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, second to the payment of the Obligations, whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect, and then to pay the balance, if any, as required
by Law. 
 SECTION 15.02. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Mortgagee in pursuance of the foregoing
remedies, or in addition thereto, (a) shall be entitled to resort to its several securities for the payment of the sums secured hereby in such order and manner as the Mortgagee may think fit without impairing the Mortgagee’s Lien in, or
rights to, any of such securities and without affecting the liability of any Person for the sums secured hereby, except to the extent that the Obligations secured hereby shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received
by the Mortgagee from the proceeds of such security; (b) may, in the Mortgagee’s sole discretion, release for such consideration, or none, as the Mortgagee may require, any portion of the Mortgaged Premises without, as to the remainder of
the security, in anywise impairing or affecting the Lien of this Mortgage, or the priority thereof, or improving the position of the holder of any subordinate Lien with respect thereto, except to the extent that the Obligations secured hereby shall
have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by the Mortgagee for such release; and/or (c) may accept the assignment or pledge of any other property in place thereof as the Mortgagee may require without being
accountable for so doing to any other lienor. 
 SECTION 15.03. The Mortgagor hereby waives and releases (a) all errors,
defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, (b) all benefit that might accrue to the Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future Laws exempting the Mortgaged Premises, or any part of the
proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment, (c) all benefits that might accrue to the Mortgagor
from requiring valuation or appraisement of any part of the Mortgaged Premises levied or sold on execution of any judgment recovered for the Obligations secured hereby, and (d) all notices not herein elsewhere specifically required, of the
Mortgagor’s default or of the Mortgagee’s exercise, or election to exercise, any option under this Mortgage. The Mortgagor further agrees to waive the issuance and service of process and enter its voluntary appearance in any action, suit
or proceeding brought in connection with any Event of Default and if required by the Mortgagee, 

  
 - 19 -

 
to consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Mortgaged Premises and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof. The Mortgagor will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever, claim or take any benefit or advantage of any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold, or any part thereof, and the Mortgagor hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such Law or Laws, and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to the Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such Law or
Laws had been made or enacted. The Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the Mortgaged Premises marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof. 

SECTION 15.04. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Mortgagor of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions
contained in this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though other remedies were not
provided for in this Mortgage. 
 SECTION 15.05. No recovery of any judgment by the Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under
any judgment upon the Mortgaged Premises or upon any other property of the Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent, the Lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, or any Liens, rights, powers or remedies of
the Mortgagee hereunder, but such Liens, rights, powers and remedies of the Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before. 

SECTION 15.06. In the event that the Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage, the Mortgagor authorizes the Mortgagee at
its option to foreclose this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Premises, and the failure to make any such tenants parties to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by the
Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by the Mortgagee to collect the Obligations secured hereby or any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Premises. 

ARTICLE 16 

Non-Waiver, Etc. 

SECTION 16.01. Any failure by the Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor of any of the terms, covenants,
agreements, conditions and provisions hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms, covenants, agreements, conditions, promises and provisions hereof, and the Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right
thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor of any and all of the terms, covenants, agreements, conditions, promises and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by the Mortgagor. No covenant, agreement, provision, term or
condition of this Mortgage to be performed or complied with by the Mortgagor, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the Mortgagee. Neither the Mortgagor nor any other Person now or
hereafter obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the sums now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage shall be relieved of such 

  
 - 20 -

 
obligation by reason of the failure of the Mortgagee to comply with any request of the Mortgagor or of any other Person so obligated to take action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce
any of the provisions of this Mortgage or of any of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the security held for the Obligations, or by reason of any agreement
or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Premises and the Mortgagee extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or this Mortgage without first having obtained the consent of
the Mortgagor or such other Person, and in the latter event, the Mortgagor and all such other Persons shall continue to be liable to make such payments according to the terms of any such agreement of extension or modification unless expressly
released and discharged in writing by the Mortgagee. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien on the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagee may release the obligation of
anyone at any time liable for any of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage or any part of the security held for the Obligations and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents or
this Mortgage, or all of them, without, as to the security or the remainder thereof, in anywise impairing or affecting the Lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such Lien, as security for the payment of the Obligations as it may be so extended or
modified, over any subordinate Lien. The holder of any subordinate Lien shall have no right to terminate any lease affecting the Mortgaged Premises whether or not such lease be subordinate to this Mortgage. For the payment of the Obligations secured
hereby, the Mortgagee may resort to any other security therefor held by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee may elect. 
 SECTION 16.02. If any term or provision of this Mortgage or the application thereof to any Person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Mortgage, or the
application of such term or provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Mortgage shall be valid and shall be enforced to
the fullest extent permitted by Law. 
 SECTION 16.03. Any act to be performed by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage, the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be performed by the Mortgagor at the Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense. 

SECTION 16.04. If the Mortgagor fails (i) to pay any Impositions when and as required by Article 2 hereof, (ii) to
procure, pay for and deliver to the Mortgagee any policy or policies of insurance when and as required by Article 3 hereof, (iii) to maintain, protect, restore or repair the Mortgaged Premises as required by Article 4 hereof, (iv) to pay
and discharge any Lien when and as required by Article 7 hereof, or (v) to fully and timely perform any other obligation of the Mortgagor hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Mortgagee shall be
under no obligation to take action to correct such failures. However, at its option, the Mortgagee may take such action and expend such sums as the Mortgagee reasonably deems necessary to correct such failures or any consequences thereof, but such
action or payment by the Mortgagee shall not constitute a waiver by the Mortgagee of the performance of said act, and the Mortgagee may declare the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such act an Event of Default notwithstanding the Mortgagee’s
having undertaken the 

  
 - 21 -

 
performance of the act. The Mortgagor will repay to the Mortgagee promptly upon demand any amounts expended by the Mortgagee to correct such failure or any consequences thereof, and all expenses
of the Mortgagee in taking such action, with interest at the default rate set forth in the Credit Agreement from the incurring of such expense or the making of such payment, as the case may be. The payment of such amounts to the Mortgagee shall be
secured by this Mortgage. 
 ARTICLE 17 
 General Covenants 
 SECTION 17.01. The Mortgagor represents and warrants that this
Mortgage constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mortgagor, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

SECTION 17.02. The Mortgagor, within five (5) days after request in person or within ten (10) days after request by writing,
will furnish a duly acknowledged written statement in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee setting forth the amount of the Obligations then secured by this Mortgage, and stating either that no offsets or defenses then exist against such Obligations,
or if such offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, the nature and extent thereof. 
 SECTION 17.03. In the event of any sale
under this Mortgage by virtue of judicial proceedings, the Mortgaged Premises may be sold, subject to all applicable Laws, in one parcel and as an entirety or in such parcels, manner or order as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect.

 SECTION 17.04. The Mortgagor shall promptly pay upon request all expenses and costs incurred by the Mortgagee, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the rate of interest accruing after an Event of Default as set forth in the Credit Agreement from the date of the payment thereof by the Mortgagee, in connection with any action,
proceeding, litigation or claim instituted or asserted by or against the Mortgagee or in which the Mortgagee becomes engaged, including without limitation bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangements, receivership or similar proceedings, wherein it
becomes necessary in the opinion of the Mortgagee to protect the Mortgagee’s interest in the Mortgaged Premises or the security afforded hereby, or to defend or uphold the Lien of this Mortgage, or the validity or effectiveness of any
assignment of any claim, award, payment, property damage insurance policy or any other right or property conveyed, encumbered or assigned by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee hereunder, or the priority of any of the same, and all such expenses and
costs, and said interest thereon, shall be added to and become part of the Obligations and be secured in all respects hereby as if part of the original Obligations evidenced by the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents; provided, however, that
in any action to foreclose this Mortgage or to recover or collect the sums due hereunder the provisions of Law and of this Mortgage relative to the recovery of costs, disbursements, commissions, allowances and attorneys’ fees, shall prevail
unaffected by this Section 17.04.

Mortgagor shall bear and pay the full amount of such taxes. 
 SECTION 17.06. This Mortgage creates a security interest in the
Fixtures and other personalty referred to above and, to the extent that any such Fixtures shall not be deemed to be part of the real estate, shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code. The Mortgagor agrees to pay to the
Mortgagee on demand all costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the preparation, execution, recording, filing and refiling of any instrument or document which the Mortgagee may require in order to perfect and maintain the
Mortgagee’s security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code upon such collateral, including the charges for examining title and the attorneys’ fee for rendering an opinion as to the priority of this Mortgage as a valid and subsisting
first Lien. Such costs and expenses shall be paid with interest at the rates provided in the Credit Agreement from the date of payment, and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage. Neither a request made by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor to
execute any instrument or document to perfect or maintain the Mortgagee’s security interest nor the failure of the Mortgagee to make such a request shall be construed as a release of such collateral or any part thereof from the Lien of and
security interest granted by this Mortgage, it being understood and agreed that this covenant and any such security delivered to the Mortgagee are cumulative and given as additional security. The Mortgagor will execute and deliver to the Mortgagee
on demand and, failing such execution and delivery, hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee or any officer of the Mortgagee the attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor to execute, deliver and file, such financing statements and other instruments as the
Mortgagee may reasonably require in order to perfect and maintain such security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code upon the aforesaid collateral, such power being coupled with an interest.

agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change is sought. 
 SECTION 17.09. The captions of
this Mortgage are for convenience and reference only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Mortgage nor in any way affect this Mortgage.

covenants that it shall comply with the requirements of Section 1311.14 of the Ohio Revised Code.

benefits of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may impose conditions for such consent, including, without limitation, requirements that the purchaser meet the Mortgagee’s then existing credit and other standards with respect to similar such loans,

FORM OF 

MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PLEDGE AGREEMENT 
 Membership Interest Pledge Agreement, dated the      day of August, 2011, is made by Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Pledgor”), in favor of PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders (as hereinafter defined) (in such capacity, the “Agent”) (“Pledge Agreement”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Pledgor, Dunkirk Specialty Steel, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Dunkirk”), North Jackson Specialty Steel, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“North
Jackson”) (the Pledgor, Dunkirk and North Jackson are each, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”) (Dunkirk and North Jackson are each, a “Company” and collectively, the “Companies”), the
Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined)), PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”) and various other financial institutions from time to time (PNC Bank and such other financial institutions are each a
“Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Agent have entered into that certain Credit Agreement (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), dated of even date
herewith, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto, pursuant to which the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent agreed, among other things, that the Lenders shall extend credit to the Borrowers as set forth in the Credit
Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligations of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, among
others, that the Pledgor create a security interest in and pledge all of its issued and outstanding membership interests in each Company to the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) under the terms and conditions set forth herein;
and 
 WHEREAS, in consideration of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Pledgor has agreed to create such
a security interest and pledge all of its membership interests in the Companies to the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) under the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Pledgor hereby agrees with the Agent as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have such defined meanings when used herein. 

2. Pledge. The Pledgor hereby pledges to the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) its right, title and
interest in and to all of the issued and outstanding membership interests, however evidenced, of the Companies owned by it, as described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (which Exhibit shall be and shall be deemed to be
updated upon the issuance of any additional such membership interests), now or hereinafter acquired (the 

 
“Pledged Interests”), and hereby grants to the Agent a first Lien on its right, title and interest in and to the Pledged Interests, the interest thereon and all products, proceeds,
substitutions, additions, dividends and other distributions in respect thereof, and all books, records, and papers relating to the foregoing (all of which are referred to herein as the “Collateral”) as collateral security for the prompt
and complete payment when due of all Obligations. The membership unit certificates collectively representing all of the Pledged Interests in each Company now or hereinafter acquired, together with a membership unit transfer power with respect to
each membership unit certificate, duly signed in blank by the Pledgor, as transferor, shall be delivered by the Pledgor to the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) contemporaneously with the execution of this Pledge Agreement and
with each acquisition of additional membership unit certificates of any Company by the Pledgor. 
 3. Rights of the
Pledgor. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Pledgor shall have all voting and other rights, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining to the Collateral, subject
to the terms of this Pledge Agreement, and the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) shall not be entitled to any of such rights by reason of its possession of the Pledged Interests. 

4. Covenants of the Pledgor. The Pledgor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign (by operation of Law or otherwise) or
otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien, option or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the Lien under this
Pledge Agreement, (iii) file any affidavit for replacement of lost membership interest certificates, or (iv) vote the Collateral in favor of or consent to any resolution which might result in any restrictions upon the sale, transfer or
disposition of the Collateral. The Pledgor further agrees that it will take all actions necessary to cause the Companies not to issue any membership interest certificates or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Collateral or
exercise any right with respect to the Collateral which would adversely affect the Agent’s rights in the Collateral. The Pledgor further agrees to execute all such instruments, documents, and papers, and will do all such acts as the Agent may
request from time to time to carry into effect the provisions and intent of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution of stop transfer orders, membership unit powers and other instruments of assignment executed in blank,
and will do all such other acts as the Agent may request with respect to the perfection and protection of the Lien granted herein and the assignment effected hereby. 
 5. Release of Collateral. Subject to any sale or other disposition by the Agent of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof, within thirty (30) days following payment in full
and the satisfaction of all of the Obligations, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate, the Agent shall, if applicable, file UCC-3 financing statements to release the Liens granted hereunder and the Collateral shall be returned to the Pledgor.

 6. Rights of the Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may thereafter, without
notice, exercise all rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by
it, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 

  
 - 2 -

 7. Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred, and in the event that any
portion of the Obligations becomes due and payable, the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders), without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon the Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange,
broker’s board or at any of the Agent’s offices 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, with the right of the Agent upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby expressly
waived and released. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safekeeping
or otherwise of any and all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Agent hereunder, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in such order as Agent may elect, Pledgor
remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after the application of such net proceeds and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Agent account for the surplus,
if any, to Pledgor. The Pledgor agrees that the Agent shall give at least ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale or other intended disposition is to take place and that such
notification is reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to the Pledgor if it has signed after default a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. In addition to
the rights and remedies granted to it in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, the Agent shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or
other applicable Laws. The Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled, and the fees and legal
expenses of any attorneys employed by the Agent to collect such deficiency. 
 8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of the Pledgor. The Pledgor represents and warrants that: (a) it has, and on the date of delivery to the Agent of any Collateral will have, good and marketable title to the Collateral and full power, authority and legal right to pledge
all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement; (b) this Pledge Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor
enforceable in accordance with its terms; (c) no consent of any other party (including, without limitation, creditors of the Pledgor) and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to or
registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, is required to be obtained by the Pledgor in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement which has not been obtained;
(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Pledge Agreement will not violate any provision of any applicable Law, or of the articles of incorporation, certificate of organization or certificate of limited partnership (or

  
 - 3 -

 
equivalent thereof), as applicable; the bylaws, operating or limited liability company agreement or limited partnership agreement (or equivalent thereof), as applicable; or any equityholders
agreement of any Company or of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which either the Pledgor or any Company is a party or which purports to be binding upon the Pledgor or any Company or upon any
of its or its respective assets and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the assets of the Pledgor or any Company except as contemplated by this Pledge Agreement; (e) there are no restrictions on the
transferability of the Collateral to the Agent or with respect to the foreclosure and transfer thereof by the Agent or, if there are any such restrictions, any and all restrictions on such transferability have been duly waived with respect to this
assignment, transfer, pledge, and grant of a security interest to the Agent and with respect to the foreclosure and transfer thereof by the Agent (or any necessary consents have been obtained); and (f) the pledge, assignment and delivery of
such Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement will create a valid first Lien on all right, title and interest of the Pledgor in or to such Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, subject to no prior Lien or to any agreement purporting to grant to
any third party a Lien in the property or assets of the Pledgor which would include the Collateral. The Collateral is fully paid and nonassessable. The Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend the Agent’s right, title and Lien on the
Collateral and the proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever; and covenants and agrees that it will have like title to and the right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the Agent as
collateral hereunder and will likewise defend the Agent’s right thereto and Lien thereon. 
 9. No Disposition,
Etc. The Pledgor agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, nor will it create, incur or permit to exist any Lien with respect to any of the
Collateral, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the Lien provided for by this Pledge Agreement and Permitted Liens. 
 10. Sale of Collateral. (a) The Pledgor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state or foreign securities Laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who 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. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if
such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the
Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state or foreign securities Laws, even if the Pledgor would agree to do so. 

(b) The Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sale of
any portion or all of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable Laws of any Official Body having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Pledgor’s expense. The Pledgor further agrees that a
breach of any of the covenants contained in this paragraph 10 will cause irreparable injury 

  
 - 4 -

 
to the Agent and the Lenders, that the Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at Law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this
paragraph shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants. 

11. Waivers by the Pledgor. 
 (a) The Pledgor (i) waives presentment, demand, notice and protest with respect to the Collateral; (ii) waives any delay on the part of the Agent without notice to or consent from the Pledgor;
(iii) waives the right to notice and/or hearing prior to the Agent’s exercising of the Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder upon the occurrence of an event which would constitute a default hereunder or an Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement; (iv) waives any right to require the Agent to marshal the Collateral with other collateral which secures the Pledgor’s obligations and any similar right to which the Pledgor is or may become entitled; and (v) waives
any right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution and any similar rights against any Company until the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full and the Credit Agreement has been terminated. 

(b) The Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income or distribution thereon, beyond the
safe custody of such of the Collateral as may come into the possession of the Agent and shall have no duty as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Agent’s rights and remedies may be
exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Obligations. In no event shall the Agent have any liability to the Pledgor or otherwise hereunder except for liability arising out of the gross negligence or actual bad
faith of the Agent. 
 12. Further Assurances. The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the
written request of the Agent, the Pledgor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as the Agent may request in order to effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement. 

13. Severability. Any provision of this Pledge Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 14. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Agent shall not,
by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Agent, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent, any
right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. 

  
 - 5 -

 15. Binding Effect. This Pledge Agreement and all obligations of Pledgor
hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Pledgor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, inure to the benefit of Agent (for its benefit and for the benefit of Lenders) and its respective successors
and permitted assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applied to contracts to be performed wholly within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The undersigned hereby agrees that any judicial proceeding by Pledgor against Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Pledge Agreement or any related
agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the County of Allegheny, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PLEDGOR WAIVES ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CASE OR CONTROVERSY IN WHICH
IT IS OR BECOMES A PARTY (WHETHER SUCH CASE OR CONTROVERSY IS INITIATED BY OR AGAINST IT OR IN WHICH IT IS JOINED AS A PARTY LITIGANT), WHICH CASE OR CONTROVERSY ARISES OUT OF, OR IS IN RESPECT TO, ANY RELATIONSHIP AMONGST OR BETWEEN ANY COMPANY,
THE PLEDGOR AND/OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. THE UNDERSIGNED (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDERS TO ACCEPT THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS.

Agreement on the day and year first above written, with the intention that it constitute a document under seal.

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Pledgor hereby agrees with the Agent as follows: 
 1. Defined
Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have such defined meanings when used herein. 
 2. Pledge. The Pledgor hereby pledges to the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) its right, title and interest in and to all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
the Corporation owned by it, as described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (which Exhibit shall be and shall be deemed to be updated upon the issuance of any additional such capital stock), now or hereinafter acquired (the
“Pledged Stock”), and hereby grants to the 

 
Agent a first Lien on its right, title and interest in and to the Pledged Stock, the interest thereon and all products, proceeds, substitutions, additions, dividends and other distributions in
respect thereof, and all books, records, and papers relating to the foregoing (all of which are referred to herein as the “Collateral”) as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due of all Obligations. The share
certificates, collectively representing all of the Pledged Stock in the Corporation now or hereinafter acquired, together with a stock transfer power with respect to each share certificate, duly signed in blank by the Pledgor, as transferor, shall
be delivered by the Pledgor to the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) contemporaneously with the execution of this Pledge Agreement and with each acquisition of additional capital stock shares of the Corporation by the Pledgor.

 3. Rights of the Pledgor. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, the Pledgor shall have all voting and other rights, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining to the Collateral, subject to the terms of this Pledge Agreement, and the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders)
shall not be entitled to any of such rights by reason of its possession of the Pledged Stock. 
 4. Covenants of the
Pledgor. The Pledgor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign (by operation of Law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien, option or
other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the Lien under this Pledge Agreement and Permitted Liens, (iii) file any affidavit for replacement of lost stock certificates, or (iv) vote the
Collateral in favor of or consent to any resolution which might result in any restrictions upon the sale, transfer or disposition of the Collateral. The Pledgor further agrees that it will take all actions necessary to cause the Corporation not to
issue any stock or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Collateral or exercise any right with respect to the Collateral which would adversely affect the Agent’s rights in the Collateral. The Pledgor further agrees to
execute all such instruments, documents, and papers, and will do all such acts as the Agent may request from time to time to carry into effect the provisions and intent of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution of stop
transfer orders, stock powers and other instruments of assignment executed in blank, and will do all such other acts as the Agent may request with respect to the perfection and protection of the Lien granted herein and the assignment effected
hereby. 
 5. Release of Collateral. Subject to any sale or other disposition by the Agent of the Collateral in
accordance with the terms hereof, within thirty (30) days following payment in full and the satisfaction of all of the Obligations, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate, the Agent shall, if applicable, file UCC-3 financing statements to
release the Liens granted hereunder and the Collateral shall be returned to the Pledgor. 
 6. Rights of the
Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may thereafter, without notice, exercise all rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, upon such terms and
conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any
failure to do so or delay in so doing. 

  
 - 2 -

 7. Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and in the event that any
portion of the Obligations becomes due and payable, the Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders), without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon the Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange,
broker’s board or at any of the Agent’s offices 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, with the right of the Agent upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby expressly
waived and released. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safekeeping
or otherwise of any and all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Agent hereunder, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in such order as Agent may elect, Pledgor
remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after the application of such net proceeds and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Agent account for the surplus,
if any, to Pledgor. The Pledgor agrees that the Agent shall give at least ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale or other intended disposition is to take place and that such
notification is reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to the Pledgor if it has signed after default a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. In addition to
the rights and remedies granted to it in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, the Agent shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or
other applicable Laws. The Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled, and the fees and legal
expenses of any attorneys employed by the Agent to collect such deficiency. 
 8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of the Pledgor. The Pledgor represents and warrants that: (a) it has, and on the date of delivery to the Agent of any Collateral will have, good and marketable title to the Collateral and full power, authority and legal right to pledge
all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement; (b) this Pledge Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor
enforceable in accordance with its terms; (c) no consent of any other party (including, without limitation, creditors of the Pledgor) and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to or
registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, is required to be obtained by the Pledgor in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement which has not been obtained;
(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Pledge Agreement will not violate any provision of any applicable Law, or of the articles of incorporation, by-laws or any shareholders agreement of the Pledgor or the

  
 - 3 -

 
Corporation or of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which either Pledgor or the Corporation is a party or which purports to be binding upon
the Pledgor or the Corporation or upon any of their respective assets and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the assets of the Pledgor or the Corporation except as contemplated by this Pledge Agreement;
(e) there are no restrictions on the transferability of the Collateral to the Agent or with respect to the foreclosure and transfer thereof by the Agent or, if there are any such restrictions, any and all restrictions on such transferability
have been duly waived with respect to this assignment, transfer, pledge, and grant of a security interest to the Agent and with respect to the foreclosure and transfer thereof by the Agent (or any necessary consents have been obtained); and
(f) the pledge, assignment and delivery of such Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement will create a valid first Lien on all right, title and interest of the Pledgor in or to such Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, subject to no prior
Lien or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a Lien in the property or assets of the Pledgor which would include the Collateral other than Permitted Liens. The Collateral is fully paid and nonassessable. The Pledgor covenants and
agrees that it will defend the Agent’s right, title and Lien on the Collateral and the proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever; and covenants and agrees that it will have like title to and the right to pledge
any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the Agent as collateral hereunder and will likewise defend the Agent’s right thereto and Lien thereon. 
 9. No Disposition, Etc. The Pledgor agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, nor will it create,
incur or permit to exist any Lien with respect to any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the Lien provided for by this Pledge Agreement and Permitted Liens. 

10. Sale of Collateral. (a) The Pledgor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the
Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state or foreign securities Laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of
purchasers who 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. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale
may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The
Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state or foreign securities
Laws, even if the Pledgor would agree to do so. 
 (b) The Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts
and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sale of any portion or all of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable Laws of any Official Body having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the
Pledgor’s expense. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this paragraph 10 will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the Lenders, that the Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at Law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in 

  
 - 4 -

 
this paragraph shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
covenants. 
 11. Waivers by the Pledgor. 
 (a) The Pledgor (i) waives presentment, demand, notice and protest with respect to the Collateral; (ii) waives any delay on the part of the Agent without notice to or consent from the Pledgor;
(iii) waives the right to notice and/or hearing prior to the Agent’s exercising of the Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder upon the occurrence of an event which would constitute a default hereunder or under the Credit Agreement;
(iv) waives any right to require the Agent to marshal the Collateral with other collateral which secures the Pledgor’s obligations and any similar right to which the Pledgor is or may become entitled; and (v) waives any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, contribution and any similar rights against the Corporation until the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full and the Credit Agreement has been terminated. 

(b) The Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income or distribution thereon, beyond the
safe custody of such of the Collateral as may come into the possession of the Agent and shall have no duty as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Agent’s rights and remedies may be
exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Obligations. In no event shall the Agent have any liability to the Pledgor or otherwise hereunder except for liability arising out of the gross negligence or actual bad
faith of the Agent. 
 12. Further Assurances. The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the
written request of the Agent, the Pledgor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as the Agent may request in order to effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement. 

13. Severability. Any provision of this Pledge Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 14. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Agent shall not,
by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Agent, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent, any
right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. 

  
 - 5 -

 15. Binding Effect. This Pledge Agreement and all obligations of Pledgor
hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Pledgor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, inure to the benefit of Agent (for its benefit and for the benefit of Lenders) and its respective successors
and permitted assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applied to contracts to be performed wholly within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The undersigned hereby agrees that any judicial proceeding by Pledgor against Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Pledge Agreement or any related
agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the County of Allegheny, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

16. THE PLEDGOR WAIVES ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CASE OR CONTROVERSY IN WHICH IT IS OR BECOMES A PARTY
(WHETHER SUCH CASE OR CONTROVERSY IS INITIATED BY OR AGAINST IT OR IN WHICH IT IS JOINED AS A PARTY LITIGANT), WHICH CASE OR CONTROVERSY ARISES OUT OF, OR IS IN RESPECT TO, ANY RELATIONSHIP AMONGST OR BETWEEN THE CORPORATION, THE PLEDGOR AND/OR THE
AGENT. THE UNDERSIGNED (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDERS TO ACCEPT THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS. 
 [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

accordance with GAAP at the locations set forth on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof and at no other location without complying with the requirements set forth in Section 4(k) of this Security Agreement.

and to review the books and records of the Grantors concerning the Collateral and to copy the same and make excerpts therefrom. 

(c) The Grantors shall at all times during the term of this Security Agreement keep the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures that are now
owned or acquired after the date of this Security Agreement by the Grantors at the locations set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof (each a “Permitted Location”) and at no other location (subject
to the proviso at the end of this clause (c)) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, except (i) for Equipment that is considered a mobile good under the Code, (ii) Inventory in transit from one Permitted Location to
another Permitted Location and (iii) as may be otherwise set forth in the Credit Agreement; provided, however that solely with respect to third party off-site processing locations whereby Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures of the Grantors
are maintained, such Exhibit “B” may be updated by the Grantors with respect to any such additional processing locations promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days, upon the transfer of any Equipment, Inventory or
Fixtures of the Grantors to such additional processing location. 
 (d) Each Grantor currently maintains its place of business,
if such Grantor has only one place of business, or its chief executive offices, if such Grantor has more than one place of business, at the locations set forth on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof and shall not move
the location of its place of business or chief executive offices, as the case may be, without providing prior written notification to the Administrative Agent and otherwise complying with subsection (k) of this Section 4. 

(e) Except as may otherwise be provided in this Security Agreement or permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Grantors shall not
sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equipment or Fixtures owned by any of the Grantors. 
 (f) Promptly upon request of the
Administrative Agent from time to time, the Grantors shall furnish the Administrative Agent with such information and documents regarding the Collateral at such times and in such form and detail as the Administrative Agent may request. 

(g) Promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Grantors shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, without
limitation, (1) all invoices and customer statements rendered to account debtors, Documents, contracts, Chattel Paper, Electronic Chattel Paper, Instruments and other writings and/or records pertaining to the Grantors’ contracts or the
performance of the Grantors’ contracts, (2) evidence of the Grantors’

Accounts and statements showing the aging, identification, reconciliation and collection thereof and (3) reports as to the Grantors’ Inventory and sales, shipment, damage or loss
thereof, all of the foregoing to be certified by an authorized officer or other employee of the Grantors. 
 (h) Notwithstanding
the Prior Security Interest in the Collateral granted to and created in favor of the Administrative Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) under this Security Agreement, the Grantors shall have the right until one or more Events of
Default shall occur, at their own cost and expense, to enforce payment of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and the Electronic Chattel Paper and to enforce their contract rights. 

(i) The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to
give notice of the security interest created hereby to account debtors obligated to any Grantor, to take over and direct collection of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and the Electronic Chattel Paper, to notify such account debtors to make payment
directly to the Administrative Agent, to enforce payment of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and the Electronic Chattel Paper and to enforce such Grantor’s contract rights. It is understood and agreed by the Grantors that the Administrative
Agent shall have no liability whatsoever under this Security Agreement except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

and tax identification number of each Grantor is as set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and made a part hereof. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not change its legal name, its type of entity, its jurisdiction of
organization, its organizational identification number or its tax identification number without (i) providing the Administrative Agent prior written notice of its intention to do so, (ii) providing the Administrative Agent with such
information in connection therewith as the Administrative Agent may request, and (iii) taking such action, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be necessary to maintain at all times the priority of the security interest in the
Collateral granted hereunder. 
 (k) If a Grantor desires to establish a new location for its place of business or chief
executive office, as the case may be, or to establish new names in which it may invoice account debtors or maintain records concerning Collateral, it shall first, with respect to each such new location or name: 

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice of its intention to do so and provide the Administrative Agent with such information in
connection therewith as the Administrative Agent may request; and 
 (ii) take such action, satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent including, without limitation, all action required by Section 6 hereof, as may be necessary to maintain at all times the priority of the security interest in the Collateral granted hereunder. 

(l) Each Grantor represents and warrants that it does not currently have a Commercial Tort Claim against any Person. If such Grantor
shall at any time acquire a 

  
 - 5 -

 
Commercial Tort Claim, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent in a writing signed by such Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent (for
itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Security Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. 
 (m) Each Grantor represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Security Agreement, it does not have any
applications, registrations or recordings in the United States United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office with respect to the Intellectual Property. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that if such Grantor should
file or otherwise obtain (by assignment or otherwise) any such application, registration or recording in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office with respect to the Intellectual Property, such Grantor
shall, within five (5) days after filing or obtaining such application, registration or recording, notify the Administrative Agent with respect thereto. Each Grantor hereby (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent to file this Security
Agreement and/or any related notice of security interest with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or Copyright Office, and (ii) agrees that upon filing or otherwise obtaining (by assignment or otherwise) any application,
registration or recording in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office with respect to the Intellectual Property, such Grantor shall promptly, at the request of the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver
a separate security agreement and/or notice of security interest with respect thereto, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (n) Each Grantor shall at any time and from time to time, take such steps as the Administrative Agent may request (i) to cause any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral to provide to the
Administrative Agent a written acknowledgement of the Lenders’ security interest in such Collateral, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) to cause the Administrative Agent to obtain “control” of
any Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Electronic Chattel Paper including, but not limited to, causing any issuer of a letter of credit with respect to the Letter-of-Credit Rights to consent to the Lenders’
security interest therein and including an appropriate legend on Chattel Paper arising from the sale of Inventory identifying the Lenders’ security interest therein, and (iii) otherwise to ensure the continued perfection and priority of
the Lenders’ security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein. 
 Section 5.

with power to sign its name and to take any of the following actions, in its name or in the name of the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may determine, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of

 (f) In any case and for
any reason, receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor; 
 (g) Take control in any manner of any rejected,
returned, stopped-in-transit or repossessed goods relating to Accounts; 
 (h) Enforce payment of and collect any Accounts, by
legal proceedings or otherwise, and for such purpose the Administrative Agent may: 
 (i) Demand payment of any Accounts or
direct any account debtors to make payment of Accounts directly to the Administrative Agent; 
 (ii) Receive and collect all
monies due or to become due to such Grantor; 
 (iii) Exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to

 (iv) Settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge or release Accounts; 

(v) Sell or assign Accounts on such terms, for such amounts and at such times as the Administrative Agent deems advisable;

 - 7 -

 (ix) Sign the name of such Grantor to verifications of Accounts and notices of Accounts
sent by account debtors to such Grantor; or 
 (x) Take all other actions necessary or desirable to protect such Grantor’s
interest(s) in the Accounts. 
 Each Grantor ratifies and approves all acts of said attorneys and agrees that said attorneys shall not be liable
for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations are paid in full and the Grantors shall have performed all of their
obligations under this Security Agreement. Each Grantor further agrees to use its best efforts to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection and enforcement of the Accounts and will not hinder, delay or impede the Administrative Agent in any
manner in its collection and enforcement of the Accounts. 
 Section 6. Preservation and Protection of Security Interest.
Each Grantor represents and warrants that it has (or will have upon its acquisition of such Collateral), and covenants and agrees that at all times during the term of this Security Agreement it will have, good and valid title to the Collateral from
time to time owned or acquired by it free and clear of all Liens, except those in favor of the Administrative Agent and those permitted under the Credit Agreement, and shall defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons
whomsoever other than the holders of any Permitted Liens. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that it shall not (i) borrow against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral from any other Person except as may otherwise be permitted under
the Credit Agreement, (ii) grant or create or permit to attach or exist any Lien on, of or in any of the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral except those in favor of the Administrative Agent and Permitted Liens, (iii) permit any
levy or attachment to be made against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral or (iv) permit any financing statements or such other instruments or notices with respect to security interests to be on file with respect to any of the
Collateral, except financing statements or such other instruments of notice in favor of the Administrative Agent and as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall faithfully preserve and protect the Lenders’ security
interest in the Collateral and shall, at its own cost and expense, cause or assist the Administrative Agent to cause that security interest to be perfected and continue perfected so long as the Obligations or any portion of the Obligations are
outstanding, unpaid or executory. For purposes of the perfection of the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Security Agreement, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time
and from time to time, to file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral as all assets of such Grantor or words of similar effect and which contain any other information required by the Code
for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment. If any such financing statement, continuation statement or amendment requires the signature of such Grantor, it may be signed by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of such Grantor. Each Grantor shall from time to time at the request of the Administrative Agent file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, such other instruments, documents and notices, including financing
statements, assignments and certificates of title, as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order 

  
 - 8 -

 
to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. Each Grantor shall do all such other acts and things, shall execute and deliver all such other instruments and documents, including
further security agreements, control agreements, pledges, endorsements, assignments, certificates of title and notices, and shall furnish any other information as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may deem necessary or advisable from time
to time in order to perfect and preserve the priority of such security interest as a first lien security interest in the Collateral prior to the rights of all Persons except as may otherwise be provided in the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor
irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (and any of the Administrative Agent’s designated officers, employees and/or agents) as the attorney-in-fact of the Grantors to take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary from
time to time to preserve, perfect and continue perfected the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Security Agreement including, but not limited to, signing any certificates of title, financing
statements or amendments to financing statements evidencing the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral for and on behalf of such Grantor. Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security
Agreement or financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed instead of the original. Each Grantor hereby ratifies any and all financing statements and amendments to financing statements evidencing the Administrative
Agent’s security interest in the Collateral filed prior to the date hereof. 
 Section 7. Insurance. Risk of loss
of, damage to, or destruction of the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures is on the Grantors. The Grantors shall insure the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures against such risks and casualties and in such amounts and with such insurance companies as is
set forth in the Credit Agreement. If the Grantors fail to effect and keep in full force and effect such insurance, or fail to pay the premiums when due, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do so for the account of the
Grantors and add the cost thereof to the Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor assigns and sets over to the Administrative Agent all monies which may become payable on account of such insurance and
directs the insurers to pay the Administrative Agent any amount so due. The Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of each Grantor to endorse any draft or check that may be payable to such Grantor in order to collect the
proceeds of such insurance. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, any balance of insurance proceeds remaining in the possession of the Administrative Agent after payment in full of the Obligations shall be paid over to such
Grantor or its order. 
 Section 8. Maintenance and Repair; Control. Each Grantor shall maintain the Equipment, Inventory
and Fixtures, and every portion thereof, in good condition, repair and working order, reasonable wear and tear alone excepted, and shall pay and discharge all taxes, levies and other impositions assessed or levied thereon as well as the cost of
repairs to or maintenance of the same. If such Grantor fails to do so, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the cost of such repairs or maintenance and such taxes, levies or impositions for the account of such Grantor and
add the amount of such payments to the Obligations. Each Grantor shall adopt and conscientiously adhere to a well-designed internal control system with respect to Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures, and such system shall be capable of permitting such
Grantor and the Administrative Agent to identify readily at any reasonable time the location and condition of each and every item of Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures. 

  
 - 9 -

 Section 9. Preservation of Rights Against Third Parties; Preservation of Collateral in
the Administrative Agent’s Possession. Until such time as the Administrative Agent exercises its right to effect direct collection of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and the Electronic Chattel Paper and to effect the enforcement of the
Grantors’ contract rights, each Grantor assumes full responsibility for taking any and all steps to preserve rights in respect of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and the Electronic Chattel Paper and its contracts against third parties. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such of the Collateral as may come into its possession from time to time if the Administrative Agent takes such action for that purpose as each
Grantor shall request in writing, provided that such requested action shall not, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, impair the security interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral or their rights in, or the value
of, the Collateral, and provided further that the Administrative Agent receives such written request in sufficient time to permit the Administrative Agent to take the requested action. 

Section 10. Events of Default and Remedies. 
 (a) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the Administrative Agent may then, or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, in any way permitted by Law foreclose the
Lien in the Collateral granted hereby or, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Grantors, sell any or all Collateral at private sale at any time or place in one or more sales, at such price or prices and upon such terms, either for
cash or on credit, as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in their sole discretion, may elect, or sell any or all Collateral at public auction, either for cash or on credit, as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in their sole
discretion, may elect, and at any such sale, the Administrative Agent may bid for and become the purchaser of any or all such Collateral. Pending any such action, the Administrative Agent may liquidate the Collateral. 

(b) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the Administrative Agent may then, or at any time thereafter, so long as
such default shall continue, grant extensions to or adjust claims of, or make compromises or settlements with, debtors, the Grantors or any other Persons with respect to the Collateral or any securities, guarantees or insurance applying thereon,
without notice to or the consent of any Grantor, without affecting the Grantor’s liability under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Each Grantor waives notice of acceptance, of nonpayment, protest or
notice of protest of any Accounts, Chattel Paper or Electronic Chattel Paper or any of its contract rights and any other notices to which the Grantor may be entitled. 
 (c) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, then in any such event, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have such additional rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral or
any portion thereof as are provided by the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral) and such other rights and remedies in respect thereof which they may have at Law or in equity or under the Loan Documents including, without
limitation, the right to enter any premises where Equipment, Inventory and/or Fixtures are located and take possession and control thereof without demand or notice and without prior judicial hearing or legal proceedings, which each Grantor expressly
waives. 

  
 - 10 -

 (d) The Administrative Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any sale or liquidation of the
Collateral and, subject to Section 7, any Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent from insurance, first to the payment of the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such sale or collection including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, second to the payment of the Obligations, whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may elect, and then to pay the
balance, if any, to the Grantors or as otherwise required by Law. If such Proceeds are insufficient to pay the amounts required by Law, the Grantors shall be liable for any deficiency. 

(e) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Grantors shall promptly following demand by the Administrative Agent assemble the
Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures and make them available to the Administrative Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Administrative Agent. The right of the Administrative Agent under this paragraph to have the Equipment, Inventory and
Fixtures assembled and made available to it is of the essence of this Security Agreement and the Administrative Agent may, at its election, enforce such right by an action in equity for injunctive relief or specific performance. 

(f) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist, then in any event, the Administrative Agent shall have the
right to use and operate under all trade names under which each Grantor does business. 
 Section 11. Continuing Validity of
Obligations. The agreements and obligations of the Grantors hereunder are continuing agreements and obligations, and are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or
any other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Obligations or any part thereof or of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and the
Grantors pursuant to which the Obligations or any part thereof is issued or of any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such agreements and obligations. Without limitation upon the foregoing, such
agreements and obligations shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Obligations or any part thereof remain outstanding and unpaid and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to and shall not be released, discharged or in
any way affected by (i) any renewal, refinancing or refunding of the Obligations in whole or in part, (ii) any extension of the time of payment of the Notes or other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Obligations, or
any part thereof, (iii) any compromise or settlement with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, or any forbearance or indulgence extended to the Grantors, (iv) any amendment to or modification of the terms of the Notes or other
instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Obligations or any part thereof or any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and the Grantors pursuant to which the Obligations
or any part thereof is issued or secured, (v) any substitution, exchange, or release of a portion of, or failure to preserve, perfect or protect, or other dealing in respect of, the Collateral or any other property or any security for the
payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, (vi) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding commenced by or against the Grantors, (vii) any dissolution,
liquidation or termination of the Grantors for any reason whatsoever or (viii) any other matter or thing whatsoever whereby the 

  
 - 11 -

 
agreements and obligations of the Grantors hereunder, would or might otherwise be released or discharged. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance of this Security Agreement by the
Administrative Agent. 
 Section 12. Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security
Agreement, upon Payment in Full and performance of all other obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents and termination or expiration of all Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedges, this Security Agreement shall terminate and be of no
further force and effect and at the request of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon terminate the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral. Until such time, however, this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns, provided that the Grantors may not assign this Security Agreement or any of their rights under this Security Agreement or delegate any of their duties or obligations under this Security
Agreement and any such attempted assignment or delegation shall be null and void. This Security Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to obligate the Administrative Agent to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Collateral or
to incur expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or disability of the Grantors. 
 Section 13.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) The provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this
Security Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any
manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Security Agreement in any jurisdiction. 
 (b) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other right, remedy, power or privilege or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they may otherwise have. 

(c) All notices, statements, requests and demands given to or made upon any party in accordance with the provisions of this Security
Agreement shall be deemed to have been given or made when given or made as provided in the Credit Agreement. 
 (d) The section
headings contained in this Security Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not control or affect its construction or interpretation in any respect. 

  
 - 12 -

 (e) The Code shall govern the settlement, perfection and the effect of attachment and
perfection of the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral and the rights, duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Grantors with respect to the Collateral (whether or not the Code applies to the Collateral). This Security
Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with the preceding sentence, the terms and provisions of this
Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof. 

(f) The Grantors consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in Allegheny
County and of the United States District Court of the Western District of Pennsylvania in any action on, relating to or mentioning this Security Agreement. 
 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER
CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO ACCEPT THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS AND ISSUE LETTERS OF CREDIT.

 WHEREAS, in connection
with the Purchase Agreement, Universal is indebted to the Junior Creditor in the aggregate original principal amount of $20,000,000 pursuant to that certain; (i) Convertible Note, dated August 18, 2011, made by Universal to the Junior

 WHEREAS, in order to induce the Senior Creditor and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to make advances under the Credit Agreement, the Junior Creditor has
agreed to subordinate the Junior Creditor Obligations to the Senior Creditor Obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Subordination Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows: 
 1. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. 
 2. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Junior Creditor will
not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from any Loan Party, in any manner, the whole or any part of any monies, now or hereafter owing by such Loan Party to the Junior Creditor pursuant to the Junior Creditor Obligations until the Senior Creditor
Obligations are paid in full and discharged and all financing arrangements among the Loan Parties, the Senior Creditor and the Lenders have been terminated. The Junior Creditor also agrees that, regardless of whether the Senior Creditor Obligations
are secured or unsecured, the Senior Creditor and the Lenders shall be subrogated to the Junior Creditor with respect to the Junior Creditor’s claims against the Loan Parties and the Junior Creditor’s rights and Liens in any of the Loan
Parties’ assets and the proceeds thereof until all of the Senior Creditor Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements among the Loan Parties, the Senior Creditor and the Lenders have been terminated.

 3. So long as (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred or will occur as a
result thereof, the Borrowers may make interest payments to the Junior Creditor in accordance with the Junior Creditor Documents, as such documents exist on the date hereof, and (ii) the Permitted Prepayment Conditions are satisfied in

  
 - 2 -

 
full, the Borrowers may make voluntary prepayments of principal to the Junior Creditor in accordance with Section 1(c) of the Junior Credit Note as such document exists on the date hereof.

 4. Senior Creditor shall promptly provide to the Junior Creditor and the Junior Creditor shall promptly provide to the Senior
Creditor, copies of any written notice of the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default or a default or event of default under any Junior Creditor Document, as applicable; provided, however, in each case, the failure to provide such
notice shall not affect the validity of such notice, or create a cause of action against the party failing to give such notice, or create any claim or right on behalf of any third party. The sending or receipt of such notice shall not obligate the
recipient to cure such default. The Borrowers hereby consent and agree to the Senior Creditor or the Junior Creditor providing any such information to the other and to such actions by the Senior Creditor and/or the Junior Creditor and waive any
rights or claims against any Lenders arising as a result of such information or actions. 
 5. Notwithstanding any right of the
Junior Creditor with respect to the Junior Creditor Obligations, all rights and Liens of the Junior Creditor, whether now existing or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any Loan Party shall be and hereby are subordinated to
the rights and Liens of the Senior Creditor and until the Senior Creditor Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied, and all financing arrangements among the Loan Parties, the Senior Creditor and the Lenders have been terminated, the
Junior Creditor shall have no right to possession of any such assets or to foreclose upon any such assets, whether by judicial action or otherwise. In the event of (i) the occurrence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) any acceleration of any Junior Creditor Obligation or (iii) any distribution, division or application (partial or complete), voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or
otherwise of all or any part of the assets of any Loan Party or the proceeds thereof to creditors of any Loan Party by reason of the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Loan Party’s business or in the event of any sale,
receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of any Loan Party, or any proceeding by or against any Loan Party for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law relating to the relief of
creditors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or extensions, then and in any such event all of the Senior Creditor Obligations shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money or monies worth in
accordance with the terms thereof, before any payment is made on account of any Junior Creditor Obligations; and upon any such distribution, division or application, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or
other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Junior Creditor Obligations shall be paid or delivered directly to the Senior Creditor for application to the Senior Creditor Obligations until the Senior Creditor
Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements among the Loan Parties, the Senior Creditor and the Lenders have been terminated. 
 6. The Junior Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints the Senior Creditor as its attorney-in-fact with full power to act in the place and stead of the Junior Creditor, in all matters relating to or affecting
the Junior Creditor Obligations, including the right to make, present, file and vote such proofs of claim against any Loan Party on account of all or any part of the Junior Creditor Obligations, as the Senior Creditor may deem advisable and to
receive and collect any and all distributions under any federal or state debtor relief statute on account of the Junior Creditor Obligations and to apply the same on account of the Senior Creditor Obligations. 

  
 - 3 -

 7. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3 hereof, should any payment or
distribution upon or with respect to the Junior Creditor Obligations or any security therefor or proceeds thereof be received by the Junior Creditor prior to the satisfaction of all of the Senior Creditor Obligations, the Junior Creditor shall
forthwith deliver the same to the Senior Creditor in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Junior Creditor where necessary) for application to the Senior Creditor Obligations then due and owing (whether by
virtue of maturity or any installment or acceleration or otherwise), and until so delivered the same shall be held in trust by the Junior Creditor as the property of the Senior Creditor. All collateral securing the Senior Creditor Obligations and
all proceeds in respect thereof received by the Senior Creditor after such time as the Senior Creditor Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements among the Loan Parties, the Senior Creditor and the Lenders
have been terminated, shall be forthwith paid over, in the funds and currency received, to the Junior Creditor for application to the Junior Creditor Obligations (unless otherwise required by law). 

8. The Junior Creditor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Senior Creditor that the Junior Creditor has not heretofore and
will not in the future subordinate in favor of or assign to any other person any right, claim or interest in any part of the Junior Creditor Obligations or commence or join with any other creditor in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or
insolvency proceeding against any Loan Party. In addition, the Junior Creditor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Senior Creditor that the Junior Creditor Obligations are unsecured and shall not become secured or be reduced to judgment
until the Senior Creditor Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements among the Loan Parties, the Senior Creditor and the Lenders have been terminated. 

9. The Junior Creditor agrees that it may not at any time enter into any agreement with any Loan Party which modifies, changes or waives
any terms or conditions of the Junior Creditor Obligations including, but not limited to, the Purchase Agreement, the Junior Creditor Notes and/or any of the other Junior Creditor Documents, while any of the Senior Creditor Obligations remain
unpaid, without the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor. 
 10. The Senior Creditor and the Lenders, at any time and
from time to time, may enter into such agreement or agreements with any Loan Party as the Senior Creditor may deem proper extending the time of payment, increasing the amount of the Senior Creditor Obligations, increasing the interest rate accruing
with respect to the Senior Creditor Obligations or otherwise altering the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents affecting any security or guarantee conveyed in connection therewith, or may exchange, sell or surrender or otherwise
deal with such security, without notice to or the consent of the Junior Creditor and without in any way impairing or affecting the rights granted to the Senior Creditor and the Lenders pursuant to this Subordination Agreement. 

11. The Junior Creditor agrees that (i) the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of any financial institution obtained by
the Loan Parties or the Senior Creditor to provide replacement working capital or other financing for the Loan Parties in place of the Senior 

  
 - 4 -

 
Creditor and the Lenders, regardless of whether any such replacement lender provides its own financing or succeeds the Senior Creditor’s financing by assignment, and if requested by such
replacement lender, the Junior Creditor shall execute with such replacement lender a subordination agreement substantially similar to this Subordination Agreement; (ii) as a prior condition of any assignment of any of its interests under any of
the Junior Creditor Documents, the Junior Creditor shall require the assignee to acknowledge this Subordination Agreement and agree, in writing, to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof; and (iii) each Junior Creditor Note shall bear a
legend which refers to this Subordination Agreement and states that the Junior Creditor’s rights to payment thereunder are subject to the terms hereof. 
 12. The Junior Creditor agrees to indemnify and to hold the Senior Creditor and the Lenders, and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
harmless for any and all losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and obligations, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, relating to actions of the Junior Creditor taken contrary to this Subordination Agreement; provided, however,
that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses solely attributable to an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnity contained in this Section shall survive the
termination of this Subordination Agreement, payment of any Senior Creditor Obligations and assignment of any rights hereunder. If any action or claim shall be brought or threatened against any Indemnified Party by reason of or in connection with
one of the foregoing events, the Senior Creditor, the Lenders or such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Junior Creditor in writing. The Junior Creditor may participate at its expense in the defense of any such action or claim, including
the employment of counsel and the payment of all costs of litigation. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel and to determine its own defense of such action in any such case, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Junior Creditor. In the event that the Junior Creditor assumes the defense of such proceedings and employs counsel in connection therewith, the Junior
Creditor shall keep such Indemnified Party, the Senior Creditor, the Lenders and their respective counsels currently informed of all material developments in such proceeding, including the provision of all documents requested by such developments in
such proceeding, including the provision of all documents requested by such Indemnified Party, the Senior Creditor, the Lenders or their respective counsels. Neither such Indemnified Party, the Senior Creditor nor any of the Lenders shall be liable
for any settlement of such action effected without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, the Senior Creditor, the Lenders and their respective counsels. The Junior Creditor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its consent. 
 13. No waiver shall be deemed to be made by the Senior Creditor or the Lenders of any of their
rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing, signed by the Senior Creditor or the Lenders, and such waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter or matters to which the waiver relates and shall in no way impair
the rights of the Senior Creditor or the Lenders or the obligations of the Junior Creditor to the Senior Creditor or the Lenders in any other respect at any other time. 
 14. This Subordination Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Junior Creditor, the Loan Parties, the Senior Creditor, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. This
Subordination Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Subordination Agreement.

 15. This Subordination Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.
