Credit Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Pledge Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by any of the Credit Parties to the Collateral Agent or the

theretofore and then being pledged hereunder, which shall be attached hereto as Schedule 2 and made a part hereof, provided that the failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such securities. Each
schedule so delivered shall supersede any prior schedules so delivered.

Pledgor represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a) Schedule 2 hereto (i) correctly represents as of the date

issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each class of Equity Interests in the issuer on the date hereof. 
 (b) Such Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral pledged or assigned by such Pledgor hereunder free and clear of any Lien, except for non-consensual Permitted Liens, the Lien created by this Pledge Agreement and the
Liens securing (i) the Initial Secured Notes, (ii) Permitted Additional Secured Notes, (iii) Permitted Junior Lien or Unsecured Notes and (iv) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness set forth in subclauses

 (d) The execution and delivery by such Pledgor of this Pledge Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral pledged by such Pledgor hereunder pursuant hereto create a valid enforceable security interest in
such Collateral (provided that with respect to the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary, such security interest shall be valid and enforceable solely to the extent the creation of such security interests in such Equity Interests may be
governed by the NY UCC) and upon the filing of financing statements in the applicable filing offices and delivery of any certificates and instruments representing or evidencing such Collateral to the Collateral Agent, shall constitute a fully
perfected first-priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that with respect to the Equity
Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary, such security interest shall be valid and enforceable solely to the extent the creation and perfection of such security interests in such Equity Interests may be governed by the UCC), except as enforceability
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity. 
  

 -4- 

 (e) Such Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all the
Collateral pledged by such Pledgor (provided that with respect to the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary, such security interest shall be valid and enforceable solely to the extent the creation and perfection of such security interests in
such Equity Interests is governed by the NY UCC) pursuant to this Pledge Agreement and this Pledge Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity. 
 6. Certification of Limited Liability Company. Limited Partnership Interests and Pledged Debt. 
 (a) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests that are pledged hereunder, each Pledgor hereby covenants that such Equity Interests (i) are not and shall not be dealt in or traded

 (b) Each Pledgor will cause any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $1,000,000 owed to such Pledgor
and required to be pledged hereunder pursuant to Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note that is pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 7. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, it will execute
any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), which
may be required under any applicable law, or which the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order (x) to perfect and protect any pledge, assignment or security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby
(including the priority thereof) or (y) to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

(c) below, each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain and use, free and clear of the Lien of this Pledge Agreement, any and all dividends, distributions, principal and interest made or paid in respect of the Collateral to the extent
permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any and all noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision,

 (c) Upon written notice to the applicable
Pledgor by the Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 
 (i) all rights of such Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon

under Section 8(a)(ii) shall be reinstated); 
 (ii) all rights of such Pledgor to receive the dividends,
distributions and principal and interest payments that such Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(b) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall

the form of Annex A hereto (it being understood that the execution and delivery of such a supplement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder and that the rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Pledgor as a party to this Pledge Agreement); and 
 (c) defend its and the Collateral Agent’s title or interest in and to all the Collateral (and in the proceeds thereof) against any and all Liens (other than the Lien of this Pledge Agreement and the Liens securing (i) the Initial
Secured Notes, (ii) Permitted Additional Secured Notes, (iii) Permitted Junior Lien or Unsecured Notes and (iv) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii) of this
clause (c)), however arising, and any and all Persons whomsoever. 
 10. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
Each Pledgor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the Collateral Agent as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or
otherwise, to take any action and to execute any instrument, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Pledge Agreement, including to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, distribution or principal or interest payment in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full
discharge for the same. 
 11. The Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder
are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder,
the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Shares, whether or not the Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. 
 12. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement:

 (a) the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies
provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the NY UCC (whether or not the NY UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may without notice except as specified below, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange broker’s board

  

 -7- 

 
or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable
irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to
Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor
hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall have
the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof
against the Secured Obligations. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to
be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claim against the
Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first
offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offered. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent shall
apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral at any time after receipt in accordance with Section 5.3(d) of the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale
granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall
not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent may exercise all other rights and remedies available to any Secured Party under the Credit Documents
or applicable law. 
 (d) The Collateral Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of each Pledgor in
respect of the Collateral. 
 (e) All payments received by any Pledgor after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral
Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement). 
 Each right, power, and remedy of the Collateral Agent
as provided for in this Pledge Agreement or in the other Credit Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy
provided for in

  

 -8- 

 
this Pledge Agreement or in the other Credit Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral
Agent, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by any Agent of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. 
 13. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations: Waiver of Rights. Each Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding
that, without any reservation of rights against any Pledgor and without notice to or further assent by any Pledgor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be
rescinded by such party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, (b) the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with
respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, increased, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit
Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Letters of Credit and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and the Bank Product Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and any
documents entered into with any Bank Product Provider in connection with treasury, depositary or cash management services or in connection with any automated clearinghouse transfer of funds may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in
whole or in part, as the Collateral Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Bank Product Agreement or documents entered into with any Bank Product Provider in connection with treasury, depositary or cash management
services or in connection with any automated clearinghouse transfer of funds, the party thereto) may deem advisable from time to time, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien
at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for this Pledge Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be
under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any Pledgor or pledgor, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any Pledgor or
pledgor or any release of the Borrower or any Pledgor or pledgor shall not relieve any Pledgor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Pledgor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not
impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Pledgor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of
any legal proceedings. 
 14. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement: Release.
(a) This Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Pledgor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and permitted assigns until all the Secured Obligations under the Credit Documents shall have been satisfied by payment in full, the Commitments shall be
terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than any Letters of Credit that shall have been cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer in respect thereof),
notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Bank Product Agreement (including any Hedge Agreement) the Credit Parties may be free from any Secured Obligations. 
 (b) A Subsidiary Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Pledge of such Subsidiary Pledgor shall be
automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Pledgor ceases to be a Guarantor.

the Credit Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement, the obligations of such Pledgor with respect to
such Collateral shall be automatically released and such Collateral sold free and clear of the Lien and Security Interests created hereby. 
 (d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense,
all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. 

15. Reinstatement. This Pledge Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of
any Pledgor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Pledgor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such

 A. Reference is made to (a) the Credit Agreement dated as of January
    , 2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as
administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and (b) the Guarantee dated as of January     , 2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Guarantee”), among the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto and the Collateral Agent. 
 B. Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pledge Agreement. 
 C. The
Pledgors have entered into the Pledge Agreement in order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders and the Letter of Credit
Issuer to make their respective Extensions of Credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and to induce one or more Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders to enter into Bank Product Agreements (including Hedge Agreements) with the Borrower.

 D. The undersigned Domestic Subsidiaries (each an “Additional Pledgor”) are (a) the legal and
beneficial owners of the Equity Interests described under Schedule 1 hereto and issued by the entities named therein (such pledged Equity Interests, together with any Equity Interests obtained in the future of the issuer of such Pledged Shares (the
“After-acquired Additional Pledged Shares”), referred to collectively herein as the “Additional Pledged Shares”) and (b) the legal and beneficial owners of the Indebtedness (the “Additional Pledged
Debt”) described under Schedule 1 hereto. 
 E. Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement and Section 9(b) of the
Pledge Agreement provide that additional Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Pledgors under the Pledge Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. Each undersigned Additional Pledgor is executing this
Supplement in accordance with the requirements of Section 9(b) of the Pledge Agreement to pledge to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the Additional Pledged Shares and the Additional Pledged Debt and to become a
Subsidiary Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement in order to induce the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers to make additional Extensions of Credit and as consideration for Extensions of Credit previously made. 
 Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and each undersigned Additional Pledgor agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 9(b) of the Pledge Agreement, each Additional Pledgor by its signature hereby transfers, assigns
and pledges to the Collateral Agent for the

 
benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Additional Pledgor’s right, title and
interest in the following, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or existing (collectively, the “Additional Collateral”) as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at
the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations: 
 (a) the Additional Pledged Shares held by such
Additional Pledgor and the certificates representing such Additional Pledged Shares and any interest of such Additional Pledgor in the entries on the books of the issuer of the Additional Pledged Shares or any financial intermediary pertaining to
the Additional Pledged Shares and all dividends, cash, warrants, rights, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Additional Pledged
Shares, provided that the Additional Pledged Shares under this Supplement shall not include any Equity Interests representing in excess of 65% of the issued and outstanding Voting Stock in any Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holding
Company and (ii) Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company; 
 (b)
the Additional Pledged Debt and the instruments evidencing the Additional Pledged Debt owed to such Additional Pledgor, and all interest, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Additional Pledged Debt; and 
 (c) to the extent not covered by
clauses (a) and (b) above, respectively, all Proceeds and products of any or all of the foregoing Additional Collateral. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Additional Collateral” shall not include Excluded Assets (as defined below). 
 As used
herein, the term “Excluded Assets” shall mean (i) Equity Interests of a Person that constitutes a Subsidiary (other than a wholly-owned Subsidiary) the pledge of which would violate a contractual obligation to the owners of the other
Equity Interests of such Person that is binding on or relating to such Equity Interests and (ii) any Voting Stock representing in excess of 65% of the issued and outstanding Voting Stock in any Foreign Subsidiary; provided, however, that
Excluded Assets will not include (a) any proceeds, substitutions or replacements of any Excluded Assets referred to above (unless such proceeds, substitutions or replacements would constitute Excluded Assets) or (b) any asset which secures
the Initial Secured Notes or Additional Secured Notes. 
 For purposes of the Pledge Agreement, (x) the Collateral shall be
deemed to include the Additional Collateral and (y) the After-acquired Pledged Shares shall be deemed to include the After-acquired Additional Pledged Shares. 
 SECTION 2. Each Additional Pledgor by its signature below becomes a Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Pledgor and each Additional
Pledgor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Pledge Agreement applicable to it as a Pledgor thereunder. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Pledgor” or a “Pledgor” in the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to include
each Additional Pledgor. The Pledge Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
 SECTION 3. Each Additional Pledgor
represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a) Schedule 1 hereto (i) correctly represents as of the date hereof (A) the
issuer, the certificate number, the Pledgor and record and beneficial owner, the number and class and the percentage

  

 -2- 

 
of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such class of all Additional Pledged Shares and (B) the issuer, the initial principal amount, the Pledgor and holder, date of and maturity
date of all Additional Pledged Debt and (ii) together with Schedule 2 to the Pledge Agreement, the comparable schedules to each other Supplement to the Pledge Agreement, includes all Equity Interests, debt securities and promissory notes
required to be pledged hereunder. Except as set forth on Schedule 1, the Pledged Shares represent all (or 65 percent in the case of pledges of Foreign Subsidiaries) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each class of Equity Interests of
the issuer on the date hereof. 
 (b) Such Additional Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Additional Collateral
pledged or assigned by such Additional Pledgor hereunder free and clear of any Lien, except for the Lien created by this Supplement to the Pledge Agreement. 
 (c) As of the date of this Supplement, the Additional Pledged Shares pledged by such Additional Pledgor hereunder have been duly authorized and validly issued and, in the case of Additional Pledged Shares
issued by a corporation, are fully paid and non-ass assessable. 
 (d) The execution and delivery by such Additional Pledgor of
this Supplement and the pledge of the Additional Collateral pledged by such Additional Pledgor hereunder pursuant hereto create a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in the Additional Collateral, securing the payment of the Secured
Obligations, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 
 (e) Such Additional Pledgor has full
power, authority and legal right to pledge all the Additional Collateral pledged by such Additional Pledgor pursuant to this Supplement and this Supplement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Additional Pledgor, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity. 
 SECTION 4. This Supplement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Supplement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Supplement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with
the Collateral Agent and the Borrower. This Supplement shall become effective as to each Additional Pledgor when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of such
Additional Pledgor and the Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Pledge Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 6. THE VALIDITY OF THIS SUPPLEMENT, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND
ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  
 SECTION 7. Any provision of this Supplement 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 in the Pledge Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

with Section 16 of the Pledge Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each Additional Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations:

 (ii) all Chattel Paper; 
 (iii) all Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule 7;

interest created by this Agreement shall not extend to, and the term “Collateral” shall not include, any Excluded Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, this Security Agreement shall not be deemed, or construed or interpreted to include, a
pledge of any Pledged Shares or Pledge Debt (each as defined in the Pledge Agreement), which are addressed in the Pledge Agreement. 
 (b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments
thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of
organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes
such property in any other manner such as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request.

 Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial
financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. 
 The Collateral Agent is further authorized to
file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming,
continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party.

alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute
part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of them, to Agent, the Lender Group, the Bank Product Providers and the Hedge Providers or any of them, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or
in part) as a claim in an insolvency or bankruptcy Proceeding involving any Grantor due to the existence of such insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding. 
 It is understood and agreed, except as provided in Section 4.5, that the Security Interests in cash, Deposit Accounts and Investment Property created hereunder shall not prevent the Grantors from
using such assets in the ordinary course of their respective businesses.

Trademarks, or Copyrights and such perfected Security Interest is enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’

any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Security Interests created hereby, all at the expense of such Grantor.

effect or permit any change referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph 
  

 10 

 
unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a
valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral having at least the priority described in subsection 3.2. Each Grantor also agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or

Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder. 
 4.4. Special Covenants with Respect to Equipment. (a) Each
Grantor shall, promptly after the acquisition by such Grantor of any item of Equipment that is covered by a certificate of title under a statute of any jurisdiction under the law of which indication of a Security Interest on such certificate is

written notice shall be required), the Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance
and information as the Collateral Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

 (b) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Accounts and the Collateral Agent may
curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required in writing by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, any payments of Accounts, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent
if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties
only as provided in subsection 5.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts
shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit. 
 (c) At the Collateral Agent’s request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to,
the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Accounts, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. 
  

 12 

 (d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a Grantor shall
not grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any person liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or
discount whatsoever thereon if the Collateral Agent shall have instructed the Grantors not to grant or make any such extension, credit, discount, compromise, or settlement under any circumstances during the continuance of such Event of Default.

 5.2. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the
name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after giving notice to the relevant Grantor of its intent to do so (it being understood that in connection with an Event of Default under
Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, no such written notice shall be required), communicate with obligors under the Accounts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts. The
Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party. 
 (b) Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Accounts that the
Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. 
 (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all
the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any
Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be
obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by
it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times. 
 5.3. Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in subsection 5.1 with respect to payments of Accounts, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent so requires
by notice in writing to the relevant Grantor (it being understood that in connection with an Event of Default under Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, no such written notice shall be required), all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting
of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the
Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Deposit
Account maintained under its sole dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Deposit Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in subsection 5.4. 
 5.4. Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of
any collection or sale of the Collateral as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, at any time after receipt, in accordance with Section 5.3(d) of the Credit Agreement. 
  

 13 

 Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of
sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers
shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 
 5.5. Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under
the NY UCC or any other applicable law and also may without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange broker’s board or at any of the Collateral
Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The
Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own
account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral
so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private
sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent may subject pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Secured Obligations. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may
have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor
further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The
Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 5.5 in accordance with the provisions of subsection 5.4. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in
any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could and (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Licenses in connection with the
enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter

  

 14 

 
owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses. The Collateral Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge,
each Grantor’s Intellectual Property, including but not limited to, any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, and advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which
any Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all
licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent. 
 (c) Each Grantor hereby
acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a
hearing. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may
have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent. 
 (d) Each right, power, and remedy
of the Collateral Agent as provided for in this Security Agreement or in the other Credit Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every
other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Security Agreement or in the other Credit Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral
Agent, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by any Agent of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. 
 5.6. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency. 
 5.7. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Secured Obligations: Waiver of Rights. Each Grantor shall remain obligated hereunder
notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Grantor and without notice to or further assent by any Grantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, (b) the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of
offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit
Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Letters of Credit and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and the Bank Product Agreements (including the Hedge Agreements) and any other documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith and any documents entered into with the Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates in connection with treasury, depositary or cash management services or in connection with any automated clearinghouse transfer of funds may be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Collateral Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Bank Product Agreement or documents entered into with the Collateral Agent or any of its
affiliates in connection with treasury, depositary or cash management services or in connection with any automated clearinghouse transfer of funds, the party thereto) may deem advisable from time to time, and (d) any collateral security,
guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered 
  

 15 

 
or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured
Obligations or for this Security Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the
Borrower or any Grantor or grantor, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any Grantor or grantor or any release of the Borrower or any Grantor or
grantor shall not relieve any Grantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Grantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or
implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. 
 6. The Collateral Agent. 
 6.1. Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, effective upon and during
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and
in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, either in the Collateral Agent’s name or
in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, without assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following, in each case after and during the occurrence of an Event of Default and after written notice by the Collateral Agent of its intent to do so:

 (i) take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for
the payment of moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of
collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; 
 (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and, papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured
Parties’ Security Interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; 
 (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; 
 (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 5.5, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments
of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; 
 (v) obtain and adjust insurance required to be
maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to subsection 4.4; 
  

 16 

 (vi) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to
make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; 
 (vii) ask or demand for, collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;

 (viii) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse
receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; 
 (ix) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Collateral; 
 (x) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect
to any Collateral (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could “materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);

 (xi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such
discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to
its continuing rights in such Collateral); 
 (xii) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the
goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and 

(xiii) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things
that the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully
and effectively as such Grantor might do. 
 Anything in this subsection 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees
that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this subsection 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise
cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 
 (c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with
actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement,
from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand. 
  

 17 

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

 6.2. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and
physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the NY UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither
the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and
the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 6.3.
Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by
the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by
the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for
the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 6.4. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent here under, the security interest and all obligations of the
Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional. 
 6.5. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit
Agreement; Release. (a) This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Grantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and permitted assigns until all Secured Obligations under the Credit Documents and the obligations of each Grantor under this Security
Agreement shall have been satisfied by payment in full, the Commitments shall be terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than any Letters of Credit that shall have been cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a
manner satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer in respect thereof), notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Bank Product Agreement (including any Hedge Agreement) the Credit Parties may be free from
any Secured Obligations. 
  

 18 

 (b) A Subsidiary Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and
the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Grantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Grantor ceases to be a Guarantor.

 (c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement, or upon
the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released and
such Collateral sold free and clear of the Lien and Security Interests created hereby. 
 (d) In connection with any termination
or release pursuant to foregoing paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or
release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this subsection 6.5 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. 
 6.6. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or upon or as a result of
the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

7. Collateral Agent As Agent. 
 (a) Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement by the Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The
Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of
Collateral), solely in accordance with this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 5 in
accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this subsection 7(a), each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon
any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and Secured Parties in accordance with the
terms of this subsection 7(a). 
 (b) The Collateral Agent shall at all times be the same Person that is the Collateral Agent
under the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, written notice of resignation by the Collateral Agent pursuant to subsection 12.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Collateral Agent under this Security
Agreement; removal of the Collateral Agent shall also constitute removal as Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement; and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to subsection 12.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent under subsection 12.9 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement
shall promptly (i) transfer to such

  

 19 

 
successor Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements and take
such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the Security Interests created hereunder, whereupon such re tiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations under this Security Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Security Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Security Agreement while it was Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 8.
Miscellaneous. 
 8.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be
waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement. 
 8.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit
Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. 
 8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except
by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 8.1 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms
and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any
one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 
 8.4. Enforcement
Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay any and all expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be paid or incurred by any Secured Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in
respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Secured Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, such Grantor under this Security Agreement. 
 (b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect
to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this
Security Agreement. 
  

 20 

 (c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties
harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Security Agreement to the extent either of the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 12.7 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (d) The agreements in this subsection 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
 8.5. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent
except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement and any such prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. 
 8.6. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Security Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Security Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Agent and the Borrower. 
 8.7. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement 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. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that
of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 8.8. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Security
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. 
 8.9. Integration. This Security Agreement represents the agreement of each of the Grantors with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
warranties by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents. 
 8.10. GOVERNING LAW. THE VALIDITY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE
CONTRARY IN ANOTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR
THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO OR THERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 8.11. Submission To Jurisdiction Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Security Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of
any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; 
  

 21 

 (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such
courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof
by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in subsection 8.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant
thereto; 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
 (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or
proceeding referred to in this subsection 8.11 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 
 8.12.
Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that: 
 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Security Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party; 
 (b) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Security Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship
between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions
contemplated hereby among the Lenders and any other Secured Party or among the Grantors and the Lenders and any other Secured Party. 
 8.13. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Security Agreement pursuant to Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor, with the same force and effect as
if originally named as a Grantor herein, for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Supplement substantially in the form of Annex 1 hereto. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional
Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as
a party to this Security Agreement or the release of any existing Grantor from its rights and obligations hereunder. 
 8.14.
Intercreditor Agreement; Delivery of Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the

  

 22 

 
Collateral Agent hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as ABL Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Senior Secured Notes Agent, and following the execution of a Junior Secured Debt Joinder
Agreement (as defined therein), the Junior Secured Debt Agent (as defined therein). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern
and control. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent (and the Secured Parties) shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, and, with respect to any Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) until the Discharge of Senior Secured Notes Obligations (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement),
any obligation of any Grantor hereunder or under any other Security Document with respect to the delivery or control of any Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral, the novation of any lien on any certificate of title, bill of lading or other
document, the giving of any notice to any bailee or other Person, the provision of voting rights or the obtaining of any consent of any Person shall be deemed to be satisfied if such Grantor complies with the requirements of the similar provision of
the applicable Senior Secured Notes Document (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). Until the Discharge of Senior Secured Notes Obligations, the delivery of any Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral to, or the control of any
Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral by, the Senior Secured Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Documents shall satisfy any delivery or control requirement hereunder or under any other Security Document. 
 8.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GRANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY WAIVE
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT
CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH GRANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION
WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
  

 23

executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
